Free Hedgehog Embroidery Pattern

I promise, no more hedgehogs after this one. At least not for a bit....maybe...;)  You can download this little guy from Bari J.'s We Love French Knots website. I was a featured stitcher there a couple of days ago and contributed this small pattern. I think I will try and stitch this hedgehog on some felt to make a Christmas Ornament!

Transferring an image onto felt is always a bit tricky. I usually draw free hand with a water soluble marker but if free hand drawing is not your thing you might want to try this tutorial  by Futuregirl.  Happy Stitching everyone!

    Nicole - I LOVE stitching on felt and I use a couple of different transfer methods. If the lines will be thick enough (stitched with 4 or more strands of thread) I use my Sulky iron-on transfer pens. They work on acrylic felt too - just adjust the temperature of your iron to synthetic. It's hot enough to transfer the ink, but not so hot that it will melt the felt. :-)

    If I'm stitching on dark felt I use Sulky Solvy - a washaway product. I tranfer the design to the Solvy, then lay it over my felt and hoop them together. Stitch right through the Solvy and then wash it away when you're done. Easy peasy! I show both of these methods in use in this video. http://wendigratz.blogspot.com/2010/12/how-to-transfer-embroidery-patterns.html

    Thanks for the hedgehog pattern. He's really cute! :-)

    I definitely don't mind if more Pindsvin come from your hand. They are all so lovely - and this one too. So beautiful.
    Thank you so much for your kind and generous way of being. :))
