A Spurt of Embroidery Energy

 After my success starting the flowers on the yoke of my denim shirt,

I got inspired to re-stitch the bee and flowers onto the centre back. 

Again, I used the Sticky Fabric-Solvy water-soluble stabilizer even though the stickiness can be annoying whilst stitching. However, this time I didn't find it to be too bad. Maybe I had a better needle? This pack has a pretty good selection for my purposes. Somewhat low end but better than using tapestry needles that weren't pointy enough.

After I finished stitching, I ironed some fusible interfacing onto the back, mostly to anchor the threads. I had to cut some threads on the inside of the yoke in the French knot area that I accidentally stitched through the neck tag. I didn't want to pull out the corresponding French knots so I though I'd just fuse them into place. This worked well because when I went to dissolve the stabilizer on the front, I did a bit of scrubbing with a toothbrush and the French knots didn't budge a bit. Winning!

Now I'm itching to do more stitching - this time on the right side of the yoke to balance out the daisies on the left.
