Coloring embroidery designs is a cute way to add something new to your embroidery. You can turn the first embroidery into the second embroidery by following the instructions below. (This works best with applique designs)

  1. Sew your applique without putting fabric inside the applique.
  2. Use regular crayons to color in the areas to you desired color.
  3. Find a scrap piece of fabric, place on top of your design and iron it. This adds vibrancy to the design.
  4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to make the colors stand out even more.

The more you repeat steps 2 and 3 the darker the colors will be. Try different combinations of colors and layers to see how creative you can be.
