The Mylar I have used for embroidery is like the plastic wrap use use for Easter baskets. It doesn't wash or iron well. It is to add sparkle to a design. You place it on top of your fabric and embroidry.

There are places you can buy mylar for emb. I've never done it so can't comment on the difference or how well it works.

I saw them at the Houston Quilt show the year I got to go. I do machine embroidery and tried this. It turned out great. I just bought the mylar from Wal-Mart. Stuff used for wrapping baskets. It was very cheap.
