Great video! So when the green leaf is getting stitched after the background some parts of the edge of the leaf will overlap the background by a little and that’s ok right?
I am ♿ AF and desperately looking for a new hobby. If I was to be making a patch could I start and stop multiple times on a single project without ruining a sewing machine?
In my experience with my brother se700, if you stop in the middle and turn off the machine, it will usually ask to resume upon turning on again. But if not, if you stop between two colors it’s super easy to pick up where you’ve left off 👍 all you have to do is keep the design in the hoop and don’t move it around so everything will still be aligned when you restart Hope that helped at all! Let me know if I can clarify
Also disabled, yes you can on the more recent machines, I use a se1900 and it will ask to resume where I left off if I turn off in the middle of a project. Even if it didn't for some reason as long as the item is still in the hoop I can just select the design again and set it to where I want it to start stitching from.
I love your informative channel but I noticed that you don’t post anymore are you on a different platform.? Or are you maybe just busy? Anyway thank you so much I hope you do post some more I want to start making patches to try to make some income at home because I recently got injured being a nurse and I wanted to try to make some extra income. And I love to so so I thought I would do something that I love that would also help me financially.
Thanks for the easy-to-follow explanation guide! Are there any device models you might recommend for a newbie? I take it you've been happy with the Brother brand?
Just discovered your channel and love it. Clear, thorough and beginner friendly. One question, if you are on a mac, what is the shortcut for the eyeball when back and forth between the image and the columns or does that happen as you go?
hi, thank you! I'm not sure if I'm thinking about the same thing, but I believe it's automatic. I hold the spacebar while clicking my mouse and dragging to pan around the image
I love watching your videos! Have you considered making a digitized version of this pocket, so that instead of using a sewing machine to sew it on, you can do it directly on your embroidery machine with a second hooping? I love adding pockets with my machine, however all of the files I find have satin stitch boarders. And although it's cute, it just doesn't look as good as a traditional pocket. I would totally buy the file from you if you'd be willing to make it!
Hey Stitchback, don't know how likely it is for you to see this but I'm struggling to find answers elsewhere - I'm using the exact same water soluble stabilizer that you have linked, vilene, and I'm using identical hoops to yours - But I really struggle to get it tensioned in the hoop at all? It feels very delicate, and tears easily when I try to tension it, no matter how gentle I am. This is even vilene straight from the shop, used immediately in case my storage was an issue. I also found that it really struggled to hold up under designs that had more than 2 layers, or much density at all (like a background fill stitch) Do you have any advice on tensioning such a delicate material? Or does it sound like something is going wrong to make it delicate? Grateful for any advice 🙏
Thank you so so much!! I agree with the many viewers that this was quite enlightening. I appreciate you sharing the techniques, they were extremely helpful.
Thank you! I watched a few other "how to make a patch" videos and yours was the only one that cut to the chase and hit the high points specific to patch-making.
Old video, but maybe someone will answer, so you are stitch the beige species on the leaf over the green stitching, is there a tech reason why you didn’t create hole in the fill stitch of the leaf, or select remove hidden stitches
I don't like to use create hole function because it creates a lot of unnecessary stitches! I reached out to embrilliance about this and they said that is just how the software works, so I manually create the hole to reduce my stitch count
Great video! I was wondering if you can make patches that aren't completely filled with stitches? Like I've done a skeleton and there are parts of it with the material showing through. 🙃 Hope this makes sense. Thanks!
Could you do a video on a custom photo patch? Do you have to have a certain machine to make those? And do you do you patch design on a computer? Or could you use an iPad? 😃
you don't need a specific machine, but you would need to digitize. It's a very manual process to create a custom photo -- almost like sketching it out, so you would need some drawing skills. You could also reach out to a professional digitizer to do it for you
