Has anyone made embroidered cards.? I'd like to try it on my Deco for Christmas cards. Do you need special card stock ? What keeps the thing from disintegrating ?

I think the key is a light design as opposed to a dense one. If you have a dense design you want to use, you could do it on fabric, then glue it on the back of the card with a cutout in front of it.

There are some instructions for a couple of different ways here:

Thank you for the speedy reply. The hooping bit looks a bit too finicky for me but using three part cards and inserting embroidery on fabric would be do-able.
