I am trying to find out what the embroidery is that is done on top of material.... does not go through to the back.... used to do it when I was in grade school (LONG TIME AGO <:) We usually used it for borders... particularly on aprons. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

    Sounds like Huck embroidery, also called Swedish weaving. Go to top

      Thank you... it's exactly like Swedish Weaving but on much finer material, not monk's cloth.. any ideas?

    You can buy huck towelling material still. It comes in white and some pastel colours. Look for huck towelling. It has pairs of threads on the top that are called floaters. Mary Maxim store in Paris, Ontario carries. They have a store in Port Huron, Mich. that may have it also. Go to top

      I've also done huck/Swedish weaving on aida fabric. Nordic Needle in Fargo, ND is another good source for patterns, books, and I believe they also carry huck towelling. Go to top
