110lb paper = 200gsm.
Most times a card stock with a shiny surface is a bit stronger than one with a matte surface.

That’s interesting....

I had the email too and been wondering about trying on card. That looks good.

It wasn’t all that difficult. I read some instruction and got the heavy cardstock. I already had the cut-away stabilizer & basting spray. Once set up, it’s no different than any other machine embroidery project. There are embroidery designs that are specifically intended for cardstock.

I wanted to do this type of card for Valentine’s Day. But I wasn’t finding images meant for Valentine’s Day cards; must of those I found were for Christmas or Chanukah. A little research solved the problem.
Redwork images, readily available for just about any holiday, work fine on card stock.
