Mylar and Embroidery

I've had a lot of people ask about mylar, what it is and how do you use it?  Well I didn't know either so I did a google search and came up with this informative blog. http://thesewbox.blogspot.com/2010/04/mylar-opal-iridescent-film-for.html      I did find out that you can wash it and it stays the same...just fine.  Use designs that have see thrus....so you get the effect of the mylar.....but not applique, as there is a difference. Check out this blog.   Its very informative on the subject of mylar.  Also check this out.  http://www.heirloomsbysharon.com/whatismylar.htm
