  1. 🌼 How to Create Embroidered Toilet Paper CoversA Cozy Handmade Bathroom Accent with Chamomile Meadow Embroidery Bring warmth, softness, and a handmade touch into your bathroom with beautifully embroidered toilet paper covers. Below is a complete, practical guide with fabric calculations, embroidery placement tips, and professional finishing advice. 📏 1. Measurements & CalculationsBefore cutting fabric, measure your toilet paper roll. Standard Roll Size (average):Height: 9.5–10 cm (3.7–4 in) Diameter: 11–12 cm (4.3–4.7 in) Circumference: approx. 35–38 cm (13.7–15 in) ✂️ Fabric Calculation FormulaWidth of fabric panel: Circumference + 2 cm seam allowance Example: 36 cm + 2 cm = 38 cm Height of fabric panel: Roll height + 3–4 cm (for top casing and bottom fold) Example: 10 cm + 4 cm = 14 cm For a more decorative cylindrical cover (like shown in the images), increase height to 16–18 cm for a soft rounded top. 🧵 2. Choosing the Right FabricRecommended Fabrics:🌿 Medium-weight linen (200–260 gsm) 🌿 Cotton canvas 🌿 Cotton-linen blend 🌿 Upholstery-weight natural fabric Why?The fabric must: Hold cylindrical shape Support embroidery without distortion Not be too thin (avoid quilting cotton alone) 🪡 3. Stabilizer & Embroidery PreparationStabilizer Choice:Tear-away for medium fabrics Cut-away for dense floral embroidery Add water-soluble topper if using textured linen Embroidery Placement Calculation:If your panel width is 38 cm: Center embroidery horizontally: 38 ÷ 2 = 19 cm center line Keep main floral motif 4–5 cm above bottom edge Ideal embroidery width: 16–20 cm 💡 Keep at least 2 cm clear from side seams. 🎨 4. Design Placement Tips🌼 Meadow-style embroidery works best when: Grass stitches start close to bottom edge Main flower is slightly off-center (natural look) Use vertical composition for cylindrical balance Recommended Embroidery Size:Height: 7–9 cm Width: 16–18 cm 🧷 5. Sewing ConstructionSteps:1️⃣ Embroider fabric panel first 2️⃣ Fold panel right sides together 3️⃣ Sew vertical side seam 4️⃣ Press seam open 5️⃣ Fold bottom edge 1 cm + 1 cm and stitch 6️⃣ For top: Fold 2 cm inward Stitch casing Insert elastic or leave soft dome shape 7️⃣ Optional: Add small fabric loop handle on top 🎀 Optional: Structured VersionTo create a firm cylindrical shape like in the photos: Add thin fusible interfacing to entire panel Insert lightweight foam stabilizer (1–2 mm) Create circular top piece (Diameter + 2 cm seam allowance) Top circle calculation: If diameter = 12 cm Add seam allowance = 14 cm cut circle ✨ PRO TIPS🌿 Fabric TipAlways prewash linen to avoid shrinkage after embroidery. 🪡 Thread TipUse matte cotton embroidery thread for farmhouse style. Polyester thread gives brighter contrast. 📐 Design TipTest-stitch embroidery on scrap fabric first — linen tension varies! 🧺 Practical TipMake covers slightly taller than roll so paper edge is hidden. 🎨 Styling InspirationThese covers work beautifully in: Farmhouse bathrooms 🤍 Rustic interiors 🌾 Cottage-style homes 🕊 Neutral Scandinavian decor 🌿 Pair with: Linen towels Wooden shelves Ceramic soap dispenser Dried wildflowers in vase 🌼 💛 Final ThoughtsEmbroidered toilet paper covers are small details that create big warmth. They combine practicality and artistry — a perfect handmade accent.

  7. 🧵🔥 Should You Remove Stabilizer from Embroidery Patches? Let’s Settle This Once and for All! 🔥🧵If custom embroidery patches are your jam (same here 😎), you’ve probably asked yourself this exact question: Short answer? 👉 No — and in many cases, it actually makes your patches BETTER. Let’s break it down using real-world embroidery wisdom from makers who live and breathe patches 💪🪡 🧠 The Big Myth: “You MUST Remove Stabilizer”Many beginners assume that all stabilizer should be removed after stitching. That’s true for garments — but patches are a whole different beast 🐉 When making patches: The stabilizer is part of the structure Removing it can cause warping, wrinkling, or curling Leaving it in = clean shape + long-term stability 💡 Tear-away stabilizer that stays inside the patch is totally fine, as long as it trims cleanly. 🛡️ Why Leaving Stabilizer INCREASES DurabilityExperienced patch makers agree on this: ✨ Leaving stabilizer inside: Adds firmness and body Keeps edges crisp Prevents fabric distortion Makes patches easier to sew or mount later One maker summed it up perfectly: And honestly? They’re right. 🧵 Pro Patch Workflow (Battle-Tested Method)If you want professional-grade patches, here’s a proven process used by serious stitchers: ✅ Materials Matter100% polyester fabric 100% polyester stabilizer (cutaway or heavy tear-away) ❌ Avoid stretchy fabrics Why polyester? 🔥 Because it seals beautifully when heat is applied. 🪡 Step-by-Step Patch ProcessHoop one layer of cutaway stabilizer + fabric Stitch the patch design A solid satin or merrow-style border helps a LOT Remove from the hoop ✂️ Trim as close to the edge as possible 🔥 Seal the edges Lighter 🔥 or Soldering iron ⚡ Result? 👉 Clean edges 👉 No fraying 👉 Rock-solid patch Yes… some makers proudly say: And honestly? Same energy 🔥 🔥 Fire vs Soldering Iron — Which Is Better?Both work. Choose your vibe 😎 Method Pros 🔥 Lighter Fast, simple, effective ⚡ Soldering iron More control, less open flame Either way — polyester is the key. Cotton won’t forgive you 😬 🎮 Bonus: Patches for Games, Fandoms & ArtIf you’re making patches inspired by games, art, or fandoms (👋 TLoU fans!), this method is perfect for: Collectible patches Jackets & backpacks Display pieces Trading or selling Clean borders + stable structure = 💯 professional look. 🧷 Final Verdict✨ Leaving stabilizer inside embroidery patches does NOT reduce quality ✨ In fact, it improves durability, shape, and finish ✨ Especially true for polyester-based patches So don’t stress. Trim clean. Seal edges. Trust the process 🪡💪
