    So I had a design picked out and was going to just print my invites in B&W.  It would be easy and take about 5 seconds per invite.  Well mom came down and her and my grandmother are REALLY into all things done with an embroidry maching.... Like, my gma made 17 quilts last year on it, fully finished quilts.  She sew at least 8 hours a day...  Anyways, mom got an idea in her head that she needs to try and make embroidry invites with her machine... I just want to know if this works well.  i have seen them, but does anyone have any tips on what makes them work the best... if we can get them made like that i will totally nix the printer and have them all sewed. i like the idea.

    Use a good weight cardstock. Embroidery can put a lot of stress on the paper, so you want to make sure it can stand it without getting wrinkled, but still pliable enough to sew on.
