Thank you, your work is gorgeous! O_O! I was actually looking for advice on this because I'm working on a Luna Moth plushy that I wanted to wire the antennea of and at first I was like bleh this isn't what I needed, I want it on the inside! But then... I was like 🤔🤔 but if I did it her way... I could use my superior glitter thread for sparkly detail... and it'd look /really/ pretty... hmmmmmm...
So I'm definitely going to try this out! Thank you!!

Thank you. Superior glitter thread, sounds just perfect. Have fun !

Excellent tips! What type of wire do you use?

[@clairemuirfreemachineembro7863]

Just a craft wire which is usually an enamelled copper wire or silver plated

@@clairemuirfreemachineembro7863 thank you!

[@jeanetteyoung2871]

Can you add wire to the edge of the material?

[@clairemuirfreemachineembro7863]

Yes Jeanette, zig zag over a finer wire, something like a 0.4mm wire.

[@silentprayers728]

I'm so terrified of the needle tip poking the wire and snapping off

[@clairemuirfreemachineembro7863]

Just keep your wire in the middle of your embroidery foot, with your machine set to zig zag, the needle will move from side to side, over the wire. Just take your time with it, you should be fine
