[amayausers] fringe / 3d foam / small lettering

Hi,

I'm trying out some different techniques.  I embroidered a fringe design but 
I don't know which thread and how I have to cut it loose.  Can anyone help ?

I also want to try out a 3dfoam pattern.  But unlike other 3d-patterns that 
only consist of satin stitches, this pattern also contains fill stitches.  
What do you do in such a case ? Embroidering with fill stitches over 3d foam 
will not work, I gues.  So do I have to embroider the fill stitches first 
and then place the 3d foam before doing the satin stiches ?  If yes, can you 
stick the 3d foam on the fill stitches, will it not make the yarn filthy ?

I'm also looking for an embroidery card with some small lettering on it.  
Doesn't matter what text.  It's only to use for a test.  I'm having troubles 
digitizing small lettering but since embroidering is also new to us, I want 
to embroider first some small lettering of which I know it's properly 
digitized.  If we don't get a good result we know that bad embroidering is 
the cause and not poor digitizing.  After finding the correct way to 
embroider, then I can concentrate on digitizing.  Does anyone have such a 
test for me or could refer me to a freebee-site where I can find some 
properly digitized small text ?  with small text I mean 1/3 inch and 
smaller.

Thanks !
Cindy
