KIWI paper to embroider on; put in an acrylic glass; priceless!
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: February 10, 2008
Found some Kiwi paper that was advertised to use with acrylics for embroidery purposes. It is so slick to embroider on – I was amazed. This was a lot simpler than using the fabric, getting it stiff enough to insert into the glass. Pretty, huh?

I’m working on one with a golf motif now – bowling pins are not a problem either!
Who manufactuers this KIWI paper? I have searched internet with no luck. Would love to try it.
Thanks for any direction.
I purchased it at thesewphisticatedstitcher.com
I think it’s a scrapbooking type paper. Probably could find it at any craft store – google kiwi paper. Good luck! It’s fun to embroider on….
[...] Wrong. Like Sixty is my last name. So gLs is wrong too. So I use GLS. (Did I mention my wife has a $10,000 embroidery machine and I have two monogrammed [...]
Let me clarify this – it is not a $10,000 embroidery machine – and when I do something for him, he never likes it!

I have been trying to reach Scott Clayborne re the KIWI paper since last December. I ordered in November, received half of my order in February and have tried every way of reaching him — fax, phone, and e-mail — all without any response. Makes me wonder what is going on?
I have ordered many times from http://www.AllStitch.net
great service and excellent pricing, much better then trying to order through scott
I just got a coupon in my e-mail for %15 off at AllStitch.net

I have just purchased the kiwi paper for the first,time not sure of how to use it, do I put it on a contact backing to stablize it?
Thanks
Patsy
I ordered kiwi paper from Scott clayborn over a month ago. My credit card was charged but I have not received any of my order. He will not respond to my emails or my phone calls. I am reporting him for fraud
Donna, I hope you called the credit card company to file a complaint; when I order things and can’t get them and my card is charged, I call immediately, fill out the paperwork etc. – if the card companies get enough complaints, they stop them from being able to take their card. Sorry, you had this problem, I’ve heard from others that have too, but I didn’t have a problem; in fact, I spoke with Scott a few times.
Like I posted earlier – just order from AllStitch Embroidery Supplies -> http://www.AllStitch.net they are fantastic to deal with.
I just got my kiwi paper yesterday. It is as adorable in person, but I keep having problems with the thread breaking. I tried changing needles and thread types, but no luck. Got any tips??
Where do I find the acrylic tumbler to use with the kiwi paper? I have searched the web…not having any luck…HELP. Thanks
Patsy: I use a stabilizer and then 505 – lay the Kiwi paper on top and embroider.
Angela: That’s the first I’ve heard of thread breaking; are you doing an actual design or a name or letters? I’ve not done an actual design but will try and do one this week and see if I have a problem.
Frances: You can google acrylic tumbler, etc. I purchased through sewphisticated stitcher.
I am just embroidering names on them for the playtex create your own sippy cups, and for the acrylic tumbler. I was using a 90/14 needle and changed to a 75/11 (which made it break worse) and I changed from poly to rayon thread, and still have the same troubles. I have also tried changing up my stabilizer. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!!!!! Thanks!!!
Frances: The acrylic tumblers are on sale now at http://www.thesewfisticatedstitcher.com and when they have them in stock you can also get them at http://www.allstitch.net
keepingyouinstitches: I think that I have solved my thread breaking problems. I think that I was just choosing fonts that were too narrow. When I use a bolder, wider font I don’t have any trouble at all. Thanks goodness, I didn’t want to be stuck with a stack of kiwi paper that I couldn’t use! Thanks!

I need some help with the kiwi paper. I’ve played around with it and I don’t like how I can see where the needle goes through on the side of the embroidery design. Do you have that problem? Does my tension need to be different when I’m working with this paper? Do I need sharper needles?
If you go to http://www.kiwipaperstore.com they have some info on how to embroider on the paper.
Jennifer, you may need to decrease the density of your design
Make sure you are using an 11/75 sharp needle.
I have found 2 Friends have the best price for KIWI paper.

Hi just got a delivery of kiwi paper imported from the US, am desperate to get started but don’t know how to start. I have an embroidery machine and would like to embroider motifs, do I need to attatch a stabilizer and does the paper hoop like fabric? Sorry this is all new and I’m self taught X Hope someone can help
I cannot figure out how to hoop the kiwi paper. I have a janome 300e. Thank you so much for any help you can give me.
I used the 5 x 7 hoop and lightly sprayed 505 on it and gently laid the paper on….embroidered away and pulled it off the stabilizer very gently. Hope this helps!
