Yes! You CAN embroider a plate! Thisfancy platewas madewith everyday Sharpie permanent pens and the BERNINA PaintWork Tool.
The ink can be made colorfast by baking the plate in the oven at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. I have great luck hand-washing them with soap and water (do not use harsh abrasives).
Heres how to paint your plate:
Hoop a piece of OESD StabilStick stabilizer, then score and remove the paper to reveal the sticky surface below.
Press your plate (or tile) to the surface to fix it in place.
Load the PaintWorks design of your choice on your embroidery machine. Set up your machine with the PaintWork Tool following the instructions included in the package, and insert a Sharpie Permanent Marker.
Embroider your plate, following the on-screen prompts. Whe n finished, remove the plate from the stabilizer.
Repeat as desired, re-using the same sticky stabilizer(until its no longer sticky).
This is too much fun!!!!! The technique also works for ceramic tiles; they make great trivets!
