   OMG! I saw this post yesterday (http://www.designsponge.com/2011/06/diy-project-hand-embroidered-note-cards.html) and it reminded me of you. And then… voila! You come up with your own version of it. Love it! I wonder if Saya could make them too.

     oh my god. I didn’t even see that. Now I feel like I copied. It’s so weird because I usually look at Design Sponge, but only on Mondays when they have Sneak Peeks.

   Loving this idea! I’m participating in @arthouse Sketchbook Project, and I’m now dreaming of a hand stitched page or two. Thanks for the inspiration!!

   Great idea. I just bought a thin needle so the holes are smaller. Haven’t used it yet…

   Gorgeous! LOVE the idea of using the machine to pierce for hand stitching & the sweet way you’ve added your message.

    Very clever! Maybe take it a step further by printing a design (mirror image) then stitch along the printed pattern. 0h boy, the ideas I’m thinking of! Thanks for sharing!

    If you don’t have a sewing machine, you can also use one of those tracing wheels used for transfering pattern markings on to fabric. The holes aren’t pierced all the way through but at least your stitches will be even. I think I’ll start making embroidered cards in my craft class!
