If you love both embroidery and scrapbooking, you can enjoy both at the same time by using your Brother [SE400|SE 400|SE-400] Sewing and Embroidery Machine to embellish your pages. You can create a unique three-dimensional style for your scrapbooks simply by adding some embroidery to your pages. You can also use the embroidery stitches to add elements to the pages and create an unusual integrated design between the embroidery and the rest of the page. And, you can add color, texture, and depth to your design with the embroidery thread itself
Here are some fun ideas for projects:
* Embroider titles of pages and photos using the monogramming feature
* Use the Brother SE400′s built-in corner pattern to add a textured design to the binder.
* Frame the photos or other elements or even the whole page using the frame shape and pattern functions. Tie the elements together harmoniously or just one object to feature it.
* Add interest, beauty, or personal meaning to your page by embroidering a motif.
* Add an embroidered Christmas or other special message with the date.
Techniques For Sewing And Embroidering On Paper
Sewing on paper is essentially the same as sewing on fabric except for a few crucial procedures.
* You must be sure that you won’t run out of bobbin thread before you complete your design because if you sew without thread you’ll make permanent holes in the paper.
* Instead of tying off the thread ends or back-stitching, use a dab of glue or a small amount of clear tape to adhere the loose threads to the back of the work.
Embroidering and sewing is an easy and fun way to add interest and design to your scrapbooks. You can use any type of paper and thread to get just the look you want. You can simply add embroidery as an embellishment or you can sew papers together.
