hey everyone. i need some help. i want to get started on christmas presents for my friends. i'm not sure what i'm doing though. i got a present from a friend awhile ago and it was a pillow that had my name embroidered in it with embrodiery fabric (the fabric was somehow attached to the pillow). i'm not sure how to explain it, but i was thinking about making my friends pillows. i just dont know how. if someone could send me somewhere that will teach me, or tell me yourselves, that would be awesome. thanks!
