Do you know that a thistle is an official symbol of Scotland? Moreover, colors such as golden and purple are considered royal shades and used to decorate the interior of the king.

From the history of purple

By the way, dozens of centuries ago it was not possible to use such multicolored palette of embroidery threads, as now. To obtain the desired color, people add natural dyes. For example, to get such a purple hue they used mollusks, each with one drop. That is why fabrics of purple color stood very expensive and were considered a symbol of wealth, fame and luxury.

We have already noted that the purple is a royal color. For example, Queen of England Elizabeth I even once forbade everyone, except members close to the royal family, to wear purple. In addition, even earlier, the Roman Emperor Aurelian forbade his wife to buy a purple scarf in the Tigre, because it stood literally as much as a gold of such weight.

More accessible fabrics and threads of purple color only began a couple of centuries ago. To this result an event, which generally is not related to textiles at all.

Useful advice from Royal Present:

Very often, we receive letters in which our dear customers send photos of items with traces from the hoops that do not disappear, even after a certain time. In such situations, the issue of “To hoop or not to hoop the fabric” is very acute. That is why we decided to tell you about it in detail.

Hoop a fabric, always, if possible. This is the most convenient and correct method of embroidery process. However, you cannot hoop such fabric as velvet, corduroy, silk, thick terrycloth, and in some cases suede. On such tissues, there are traces from the hoops, which is simply impossible to remove. In this case, you should hoop only the stabilizer and attach fabric on top spraying the fabric glue stick.

It is easy to hoop fabrics made of natural fibers. They are stable and dense enough.

Many embroiderers recommend attaching a soft cloth to the inside of the hoops. We advise you to use this method only for slippery, elastic fabrics that do not hold well in the embroidery frame. Yet it is better to buy a special tape to prevent sleeping of the fabric from hoops (Stitchers No-Sleep Hoop Tape).

On some tissues, the hoops traces may disappear right after embroidery or after a while, but remain permanently on others. Therefore, carry out testing it before embroidering. To do this, you can hoop a flap of the same fabric, or, if there are no such possibility, hoop the corner.

P.S. Two Golden Thistles Machine embroidery patterns are universal and you can use it for a wide variety of fabric bases with proper stabilization.
