With larger mirrors, the heavier threads look better. The size of pearl cotton works well with 3 or 5 1 "mirrors or larger.
With smaller mirrors (1/2 "or 3/4") - especially the smaller, thinner mirrors - fine threads work better, as they are able to cut energy spiritually and not completely lose the mirror. Pearl cottons of size 8 and 12, like buttonhole silk, are a good choice.
The mirrors can be attached to material, from gauzy fabrics to heavy silk and to any type of ground fabric in linen, denim and everything in between.
It is helpful to work with fabric stretches touted in a hoop or frame If your project is of a large size with lots of mirrors, an embroidery frame is a better choice, since a hoop project cannot be moved around.
A Chanel needle is ideal when working with heavy threads on heavy fabrics. Fine needles work best with sharp tips.

If you are looking for baby embroidery for the first time, you do not have to use a mirror for exercise! I often use a 3/4 "or 1" hole punch to make it easier to practice with pulp card stock discs.
You can use other materials, including baby embroidery. Many embroideries want to reuse old CDs by cutting them into shapes to stitch them onto the fabric. Large, flat sequins or pilates work very well, such as flat buttons, coins, heavy duty foil knobs, mirror mirrors, seashells or flat or semi-dome gems.
The tradition cavity mirrors are called mica mirrors and are usually of incomplete shape, somewhat bubbly, chipped, and very irregular. If you want to create a pure look baby, it is best to use them. These are also quite thin, so they don't add a lot of weight to the embroidery.
