I was trying to do a glitter HTV appliqué on a T-shirt and the stitching had gaps in it. I don’t know how to fix that. I’m new to embroidery and the person I bought the file from told me that this has been stitched out 1000 times and no one ever complained when all I asked was for help to troubleshoot. Any suggestions is appreciated thank you so much. I have a brother pe900, tshirt, cutaway stabilizer, glitter htv
We've never experimented with HTV and machine embroidery before. Is the design you purchased one available on our site? Knowing more information would be helpful. You can always email support@emblibrary.com for more in-depth assistance.
I want to thank you so much before I found this I was almost crying at the mess the embroidery was doing I just bought a second hand machine I did this and it’s working perfect now thank you so so so much
We aren't sure what you mean. Most of our designs come in sizes 5x7 and higher. If you have additional questions, you can always reach out to support@emblibrary.com
Just curious...What size is the design you used for the oval basket? Also, if one does not have water soluble stabilizer you could also use cork, vinyl, or felt to hide the stitching and stabilizer.; the same as you did for the cork design. Great tips and tricks, thank you.
I’m new to embroidery. Just bought my first machine a couple weeks ago. I just did some edge to edge quilting with it. It didn’t turn out to bad. A little less puckering on the back would’ve been nice. I’d really like to embroidered some fabric and make bags with it .
When you download the design you can use machine embroidery software to print dielines and templates. If you don't have software, you can also stitch a sample of the design onto a scrap piece of fabric, and use that as a template.
Hi! Here's a link to the main design in the video. emblibrary.com/design/simple-symmetry-flourish-whitework-l7814. Is there a certain design you were looking for?
Tension settings will vary depending on the machine you are using. We recommend testing a stitch out on cardstock and adjusting your settings accordingly.
Thank You Karline., I raised this point with your company yesterday and Meredith kindly got back to me straight away with this very solution. I bought my machine almost new but second-hand so wasn't sure how it was set up. My problem is now solved! 🥰
I am using the tear away stablizer and on the last stitch around. It is cutting out the coaster already, I am afraid that its going to come loose and mess everything up, any suggestions??
Thanks for solving that mystery! I thought it was just me. Off to see if my machines will allow me to sort it out! Thanks Karline. Your videos are the best x
I have really old Brother PE-Design software that is Windows XP-based. (!) To get around color consolidating, I have always edited the repeating colors to something else, or a different thread manufacturer, so it guaranteed a color change stop. That worked for me! [I'll upgrade my software when I get back into embroidery again. Have been away from it for awhile, due to being a caregiver for my husband.]
I am new to machine embroidery. Why is it that when I download a design the colors are not the same ones as advertised on your site? I have to go into my software or the design on my machine and change the colors to the correct ones one at a time, regardless of the brand of thread I am using? Am I downloading the wrong type? I have a Bernina.
Each format has a different database of thread colors, which is why some design formats show strange colors. This is why we provide color change sheets, so that you know exactly what we used, and can follow that instead of what is written on your machine. We have a great video on strange colors that can be found here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tpgwMI0QgCY.html
I really like this suggestion is really cool. What type of embroidery machine you have? What are the pieces that you have there? do you have them positioned around the area where if you were basing around embroidery image it ?
Thank you for such a simple tutorial. I’ve been so overwhelmed trying to figure out my embroidery machine and all the complicated videos out there. This was really easy to understand!
In most instances we don't recommend using more than one layer. Doing so only creates more material for your needle to work through. Our general recommendation is to use at least a medium-weight cutaway stabilizer on most projects (with the exception of embroidering on organza).
I can’t wait to try this. My only question is with the thickness of the rope, do you have to adjust your tension? It looked like you had a brother and I have the Luminaire, will I need to adjust the tension?
I like the embroidery applique, but I hate the die line method of doing it. It’s not very accurate, the pieces often shift so the end result is not that great. The better way is to tack down and trim. I wish embroidery library would change their way of doing applique. I would imagine these quilt blocks are also done with die lines. Not the best.
