I Got an Embroidery Machine! 

Former textile studies student here. I’m sure they gave you a health and safety session but please please please put your hair up when working with the machine, and get a pair of safety goggles (the needles can break when in action, you don’t want to get them in your eyes). Freak accidents do happen but they can be prevented in a lot of cases💜

44:18 So I used to be an industrial embroiderer for 8 years. Here’s a few tips for you! Now that you think your bobbin tension is correct but your still getting a few white bits show through on the black. Just use a sharpie to black them out. We did it all the time. The reason your needles are unthreading is because the tail of the thread is to long. On the front of the machine there’s a long spring looking thing that is about as wide as where all the needles are. This is for your thread tails to be put into after you threaded the needle. Some reasons on why your pumpkin didn’t line up correctly. Can be a few different things. -Could be digitised poorly. -fabric could of stretched while being stitched. This is the most common. So by looking at it it seems to me that the orange stitched from bottom to top. This can stretch it out of alignment. We used to change the way it would stitch. So make it go from the bottom still but stop in the middle. Then do a running stitch to the top and go from there back down to meet in the middle. This should help a lot. 😊

Baylee has blessed us with a 48 minute vlog!!!!

I dunno why I thought you’d just be getting a very intense embroidery sewing machine, like a sewing machine with embroidery capabilities!!

Embroidery machines are intense!! I'm super excited to see what you create!!

This makes me miss my mom so much more😢 She had an embroidery business. I wish we hadn’t of sold all her threads and equipment. She had every color of Maderma? Thread. I would have made you an awesome deal. Good luck on your embroidery business. I don’t know you personally but I’m proud of you and Christian’s accomplishments ❤

also for false bobbins check presser foot, 2 clicks up from bottom. I also hate those gold needles I feel like they're more for hats. Since you're doing knit garments you want 75/11 or 65/9 ballpoint needles

As someone who works around an embroidery machine, have scraps for a “stitch out” of designs and have a sheet with all the details i.e colours and even stitch numbers. Will make life easier haha

Yayyyyy! It's been awhile since ive watched a 48 min video haha but I loved it! some designs aren't digitized well that are on etsy, so it wasn't something you did! So always test stitch them first before embroidering them on an expensive garment.

Omgggg i want a long sleeved shirt with wildflowers embroidered down the sleeves 🥹 and mushrooms, and leaves! Ahh this is going to be so amazing!!

To prevent a bulk of fabric toward the back of the machine you can flip your design and pop the sleeve on the other way around ❤

A suggestion: Get ear plugs to protect your ears or put something on the walls to absorb the sound. I could tell it was really loud in that room. Someone also suggested safety glasses and put your hair up. By the way, my Dad was in textiles for a long time. I showed him your video and he was impressed with your machine. Can’t wait to see your designs on those shirts.

So sweet he gave you all those supplies! It was a huge purchase, so it’s extra nice you got some goodies. 😊

you may want to consider heat transfer backing for embroidery it might be easier to manage than directly on the clothing and then use an iron to apply to the clothing. will also increase location options as well since you're not limited to the hoop.

I’m sooo excited for the products she’s gonna release with this!!

That machine is massive. You're going to have a lot of fun. Also, those large shears can be resharpen when they wear out. Saves you a lot of money in the long run.

It’s so amazing to see where you’ve come from and where you are now; you’re really inspiring!

I imagine you could even sell iron on patches as well with this new machine

Yay!!! Embroidery vlog is here. Blessed with a long vlog this week. I was at both streams this week (tapped out halfway through Fall Guys as the call of sleep arrived). I forgot how fun your streams are so it is nice that you are back to streaming. I am so proud of you for reaching the stage where you can expand your retail to embroidery - super excited to see the designs you make and I hope I can grab a few when they go up for order. I hope you are able to sort what happened with your thread order - that is wild. The brand does have a UK website but you need a business account to see prices so no idea if it would be cheaper or even possible to import to Canada. The colours you picked are going to look super cute with the strawberry design. I didn't expect such as high-tec machine. You must have left a good impression on them if they gave you a lot of extras. It is good you don't need to use the fancy matt thread for practise. Super entertaining vlog as always.

Madeira thread is one of the best! You’ve spent a HUGE amount on hoops and stations etc!! ❤❤❤

These machines have come a long way since the paper tape pattern days. Agree with Jeanny re hair and eye protection - we always had to wear safety glasses and keep our hair from dangling. Have a ton of fun embroidering! 😊👍

so glad to see you happy, that warms my heart, i just cant believe you can remember all the step he showed you, i just watched a video on it and i would be like take it away, but i know you will be pro in no time!!

No absolutely not! The company should be responsible for refunding all the money you over paid, including the import fees, regardless if they are going to recoup that or not. I'd contact them and be very firm on that.

Those embroidery designs look amazing, I love the Kiki & wording down the sleeve! Can’t wait to order something. 🐈‍⬛ 😊

You can get tear away stabalizer that just rips away, its what we use most, but you can also get water soluble stablizer if you have a very intricate design like lace or something.

Love your embroidery machine. It’s all about practice and just becoming confident with using it. Your designs will look great. Your hooping station will be your new best friend

So happy for you Baylee for this new chapter of creativity and design.

This bring back some wonderful memories of my older videos doing machine embroidery. I miss my machine!! So glad to see you doing embroidery now 🎉 if you have any questions feel free to email me 😊

Wow! Hard core embroidery machine! Have fun with it!😊

An exciting new adventure in the life of Baylee! It will be fun watching you explore and grow with embroidery.

You should totally use that sweatshirt as practice piece and just fill the whole thing with different Halloween and spooky or gothic embroidery images especially your own art! I look forward to seeing where your inspiration takes you on this journey.

ive been hyped about this video since yesterdays live!!! yes!!

The little bit of white plastic is great for when you want to put stabiliser inside your garments. It really helps to keep it in place and saves a whole lot of faffing around trying to hoop without it.

Love ur machine. I have 12 yrs exp in industrial embroidery. A friendly tip to help with bobbin thread showing. Sharpies. We used fine tip sharpies to color in the bobbin thread. Much success with your new adventure.

With that pumpkin it makes me want a bunkin over the chest or a wrist. I'm super happy and excited for you. My wallet is starting to cry for wanting some embroidery sweaters!

You have SO MUCH PATIENCE!! 🤣💀💀💀 I loved seeing so much of the process - it's terrifying to me 😂 But omg the noise when the machine is chugging along fine & then makes that 'something's wrong' sputter 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀 - gives me instant flashbacks to trying to use my Mum's sewing machine as a kid/teen & it was always breaking for one reason or another & snarling up the thread 😭 She refused to get rid of it or get it repaired properly, so I have a really strong memory tied to that specific sound & then the frustration & swearing that would commence 😂😂 I'm catching up on vlogs, so I'm sure you've had tonnes of practice by now & hopefully all the kinks are worked out 🤞🤞🤞

I just got a basic embroidery / sewing machine for my birthday and I’ve been having so much fun with it!!!

Suggestion, Tear away backing, which would make removal easier and faster. send your digitizing outsourced, which takes approx 24 hours for a turnaround for most artwork. They send you all formats and a pdf of the sew-out. We have a great digitizer and I think he is in Canada. Always do a sew-out first, to make sure digitizing is correct. Keep sharpie or fabric markers to fill in the bobbin that shows on the top stitches.

Cool embroidery machine. Are you able to make just patches for customers to sew on a garment themselves? Or iron on patches? I would 100% buy patches.

I didn’t even realise how long this vlog was, embroidery is so interesting! 😮

Thanks for the longer vlog! I know nothing about embroidery machines so this was pretty interesting to watch. Excited to see how your sweater turns out after it’s filled up with tests 😊

im so forward for youre organisation in the room when all the stations, threads, clothes and nicknaks are there ♡♡♡

I had no idea embroidery machines were this scary! 😅

I cannot wait to see what you create with your new machine! I do believe you are going to need a second one sooner than later.

I think a trip to a thrift store for sacrificial clothing might be in order.

Waking up to a 48 min vlog is an amazing Saturday morning for me!!! 😊

Baylee it has been a WHILE since I’ve watched ur videos but I’m back and I’m hooked 🙈 you seem to be thriving and I love ur hair!! So happy for what you’ve accomplished, so excited to see what you do next for ur business!!

48 minutes and enjoyed every minute I’m SO excited where this is going!!

I started my job at the perfect time bc that means that by the time you start offering the sweaters i can afford to make a big order. Am also so excited for the strawberry sketchbook! 🍓❤

Sometimes, your threads/ bobbin break because they are not made from the same materials. You can get around this by having a smaller stich count for the fill areas or changing the design.

aww im so happy 4 u congrats !!!

omg i love the long vlogs yayayyay

This machine is insane. Can't wait to see it stitch your designs and to buy one!

Loving the pumpkin. Another product you could make would be custom patches.

waiting for the day that baylee comes out with bunbuns plushie

aww can't wait to see what else you're going to make.

Was so looking forward to this embroidery video!! Very interesting to see how they work. Threading any machine is a nightmare lol. But the results look neat I really like the lettering down the sleeves.

Looks like they are happy to have you as a customer! You’re gonna give them good advertising. Any thoughts for fleece lap blankets with embroidery?

So fun to see the excitement on your face!!!

Tear away backing aka stabilizer is so much easier!!!!!! Look into it. My mom has ran embroidery machines for 25 years and been a digitizer. If you have any questions I can help out!

One of my favourite t-shirt stores does a pre-order of a design for a limited time and then you know exactly which sizes and colours to do and you're not wasting any. Hopefully this was your plan and then there is less pressure on getting things all ready for a launch

I'm ready to buy a sweater now! 😂 can't wait to see the final product ❤

Wow this is great! I remember the last time you tried buying a big machine like that was the button pressing machine and it didn't go through! This is super cool!

That is an awesome machine. I love watching how machines work!! ❤ Machine goes brrrrr

The machine scared me when it first did its thing😂 Was thinking the same with that test sweater gonna be a very patchy one (gonna look cool with all those patches tho!). Not sure if I'll get a sweater (probably will just have to wait for shorter sleveed ones) since it's already pretty humid/hot here unless it's not so thick. Nevertheless, I still can't wait for the final result!! And your new matching sketchbook AHHH✨️

this is interesting, you are teaching the world while they eating their snackies and sippin their drinkies for sure, and plus we all love and adore you!!!

Oh this was so much fun to watch! Have you thought about making fabric patches?

Wow, the machine looks amazing ❤

You are brave spending investing time and money, while others are outsourcing and mass producing. I love you are different from them and showing from the bat start how to 👍👍👍🙋🏻

Would fabric chalk help you with your placement? You could mark up the cloth before hand...

Bailey you went all in!!!!

Love the bangs!!! ❤❤❤

So excited for you! Congrats!

Love the embroidery clips

Me saving my money for when these go on sale :D I would really love to see a fall one but I love it already with spooky season XD

I dont need to sleep yet. Im so excited for you.

It takes so much trial and error at the beginning with embroidery! I only have experience with a home embroidery machine, so things may vary when it comes to an industrial machine, but to me, the bobbin pulling through and the incident with the bobbin case being pulled out would lead me to believe it's an issue with the top tension, not the bobbin. General rule of thumb in embroidery groups I'm in is that a problem with the top stitching means it's a bobbin issue, and a problem with the bobbin thread means it's a top thread issue, if that makes sense. Of course there are probably plenty of times where this isn't the case, and all machines have their own little quirks! For what you're embroidering, on stretch fabrics like jumpers, I personally would go for two sheets of 2.5oz-3oz cutaway stabiliser. It looked like your fabric was getting really pulled about by the design so extra stabilisation might help. Good luck though!! I can't wait to see what you make, and I hope things go relatively smoothly with your new machine!

In 2016 I invested a huge amount of money in a laser engraver. I almost got an embroidery machine instead. My business has been successful even still to this day but sometimes I wish I would’ve went with embroidery. Congrats Baylee! ❤❤❤

I went to Home Depot and bought wood block counter tops (6feet long) $149 and attached them to ikea adjustable legs. Best thing I ever did for desk space

i watch your vlogs when i run at the gym & im sooo happy this ones 48 min 😭🤍 i have an extra long run today!

Have a good dayy

Soooo exciting!!! 🪡

I foresee A LOT of embroidery shorts and reels in your future. It’s fascinating to watch and creation side you needn’t add commentary or other stuff, just film the process. 😊 If you make those, will you post them to this channel?

Yes! You go girl!! 💜

Yyoooo!!!!! That’s so exciting! I haven’t watched it all yet but have you thought of embroidering tote bags??? :0

Would doing a presale make things easier for production? So you know exactly how many of each size to make.

Congratulations, Mrs Brazeau! I, for one, welcome you as art business overlord! 🤣👍🏽

I did not expect it to be so fast and aggressive lol!!

ohhh Kool Machine wow you will be able to make some really Kool shirts and stuff with that Machine 💖

I'd what that strawberry design in dark/forest green

i missed the wednesday stream because i was out of town and at a party, and therefore didn't know about the friday stream 😭

That machine looks so VIOLENT. Lmao.

Fascinating, great vlog. 💜⭐️💜

This is awesome! I'm excited to see what you make :)

Just a thought on placement; the wearer isn’t the one who is supposed to see the design, it’s everyone else. I’d go with the perspective of looking at the shirt on someone else, not as the person in the shirt.

Living my best life tho you, thank you so much I do thank you for sharing ❤ xox

I want that sweater lol

Great work Baylee x

Safety glasses, put ur hair up. Secondarily when you comb your bangs back and they get that tiny bit of height, i think it does wonders for the silhouette of your head. 🎉

I’m so excited!!!
