Linen Cushion Cover Embroidery Tips and Finishes
A linen cushion cover can be embroidered in white wash silk or flax thread with dung lace. Add color by showing through from a colored cushion, and finish with a colored cord. For strong color, use corn flower blue linen with nut brown embroidery and deep twine lace. Edge options include a bias cut band and a thick cotton wadding under the cover for improved appearance and feel.
