Hello, Farmgirls!
I want to do a little embroidery on my Carhart jacket and my Rosie's coveralls.
This will probably be blanket stitch and maybe some simple, simple applique. I also want to embroider on some cotton duck, a not- very- heavy wt of canvas. I thought duck was heavier, but it does say duck on the bolt. I would probably do chain stitch/ stem stitch on the duck. It will be the pocket of a little backpack.
What size needles would be best on each fabric?
Carhart-
Rosies- like a med/ heavy cotton broadcloth
Duck- Med. wt canvas at heaviest

thank you!
Mary LD

I would try an upholstery needle on the Carhart. Maybe even on all of the fabrics.
I hope this helps!
