I have a pair of jeans and I want to sew a long panel from a tapestry down the side of each leg. I don't have a machine. I thought I'd sew the strip of tapestry into a tube with a seam on the inside, then sew it on the pants. Does that sound like the way to do it?
Â
Also, I'd love to use embroidery floss to make big, sloppy, colorful stitches along the panel. Can I just use the embroidery floss instead of regular thread? Will it hold up in the wash? How many strands of floss should be involved? I don't want the needle holes letting the cold in--is that even a concern?
Â
Also, I have a lot of experience with thread breaking on a project I've sewn, later. Is this poor quality thread? How do you judge the quality of a thread?
Â
Got another project with questions, too, so I'm off to make another thread. Thanks for any help!Â
