Use a firm linen or quilting cotton so the pocket holds its shape, and consider a sturdier backing or lining since it carries weight at the waist.
Avoid: Slippery satin, Loose-weave knits, Sheer voile
③ Place a motif
Preview where a chest print, pocket or embroidery will sit before you cut — then print it as a placement guide.
