Our newest products are burlap placemats and coasters. They are the first burlap items we have produced, so we asked embroidery expert Deborah Jones to show you how she recommends handling these items.

The Stiffy stabilizer that Deborah mentions is available on Embroider This, as well as 505 Spray (an equivalent to the spray that Deborah uses). The basting stitch is also available (in DST format only, we are working on the other formats).
