How does Lutradur withstand intense machine stitching?
Depends on the weight of Lutradur you are using, and how you are using it. As with any other material, the lighter the weight, the more distortion is likely when you stitch intensively into an area. The heavier weights will take a lot of stitching; the lighter weights, if fused onto a supporting material (which would be visible through the lutradur), can also be stitched like this. Can you stitch Lutradur by hand? Of course. Hand stitching can look particularly effective. Can I print on it? Yes. The transfer dyeing process lends itself to printing as well as painting, with a suitable thickener (contact your dye retailer for more information). Can I use my embellisher on it? Lutradur makes a great base cloth for the embellisher, but it can’t be felted onto other cloth.
