Where did you learn how to embroider? I've done a few (tiny, tiny, tiny) projects myself by hand, but I feel like I'm getting lost. How do you do bigger projects? I've been using hoops, and I can't imagine the answer is just to get more and more big hoops.

Funny story, but Mollymauk was my first real embroidery project! I just watched a few youtube tutorials and winged it from there. My current hoop is somewhere between 11-14″, so I had to re-hoop a lot to do the coat, but it worked out. And to get the patterns close to the edge, I just sewed a 3-4″ border of junk cotton along each edge of the coat that way the hoop had something to grab on to while the “edge” of the coat was in the center of the hoop for embroidery.

With bigger projects you’re just going to move your hoop around a lot, but if you’ve done small projects already then you’ve got a good starting point ^_^
