The Magic of Mylar (part 2)

The Mylar film tears easily so removing it from the outside of a design is quite easy. You will want to choose designs that a designer specifically says are for Mylar. Then you can expect directions as well as a design that has been tested with the product. 

If you want to test a design from your stash, look for something with no underlay stitching and an open fill stitch. When the fill stitches are farther apart, that will permit the Mylar to show through from behind the stitches. Some designs will yield more glitz if the fill is even more open. And of course the colors you choose for both thread and Mylar will affect the design. 

Be sure to test on fabric similar to that of your final project. When you are happy with the results, stitch on your final project, then stand back and admire your work.
