I'm getting ready to do the handwork for Over the River quilt -- you are supposed to draw the pattern onto the fabric to embrodier and then line the fabric with muslin before you start stitching.
The fabric that I chose for the embrodery is rather heavy in itself and I think that it would be just tooo heavy lined. I think the reason for lining is so that the floss doesn't show. Do you think I could get away with iron on interfacing????

My Aunt did not use the muslin as it was stated in the pattern. She use a thin layer of batting of some kind. I would have to verify with her to see what exactly she used. The stitches did not show and it gave the squares a little extra body. It turned well enough that she won Grand Champion at the county fair.

Try a test and see. Lay some of the floss behind your fabric with and without a layer behind and see how it looks. Also may want to do some test stitches to see how it works for you.

I just use Kona snow..nothing behind it at all..works ok!
If you do use an interfacing try it on a scrap of your fabric first...I doubt it will make any difference...though a lightweight interfacing will NOT make it stiff, it might however turn yellow over time!
