Is Muslin Fabric Good For Hand Embroidery?

Muslin fabric is an amazing fabric to use for embroidery!

Here’s why:

  1. Muslin fabric is a natural woven fabric made out of cotton, which is one of the easiest and best types of fabric to stitch on.
  2. It has an even weave making it easier to keep your stitches tidy and it’s also easy to pull a needle and thread through.
  3. This type of fabric is also relatively cheap to buy and it can be found easily online or at pretty much any craft or fabric store. This makes it super accessible to most people, and it also puts less pressure on beginners if they end up messing up on an embroidery project.
  4. Most muslin comes unbleached and undyed, which makes for a nice, neutral-colored fabric to embroider on.
