I frequently add embroidery to the baby quilts that I make.I find hooping to be a problem because of the large amount of fabric outside the hoop. Any tips on haw to handle this would be appreciated.
Short of floating (which we don't recommend in most cases), the best solution is to cut the fabric just big enough to fit your hoop, but not so large that it hangs over unnecessarily.
People in facebook groups are telling other people to NOT use stabalizer, to only use Terlmagic on the fabric. I think that is a Very bad idea. Am I wrong?
Are you wondering how to print a design template for placement on your fabric? We have a great tutorial on this topic that can be found here: www.emblibrary.com/learn/how-to/making-templates-for-position-placement-machine-embroidery
The explanation is very interesting for all to know, as a non-English viewer I politely ask you to speak a little slower please, and this to avoid having to watch three times to go along with your wonderful explanation, yes subtitles are ok but go with the speed of the spoken text, so....but we got it, though. Kind regards and keep it going.
Thank you for your feedback. Not to discount your comment, but have you tried using the feature that slows down playback speed? This may help, but we will definitely keep your feedback in mind for future videos.
Templates can be printed using embroidery software like Embird or Embrilliance. We have another great tutorial on templates that you can find here: www.emblibrary.com/EL/ELProjects/videos.aspx?productid=EV0111
Oftentimes as experienced textile artists, we tend to take shortcuts that work for us. However, being reminded of conventional methods, reinforces us of lessons once learned. Thanx
I have been doing machine embroidery for quite a few years. This video was a real help to me. Thank you for making it. I have saved it to watch again later.
My local fashion fabric and machine embroidery classes store teaches to add wash away to the back of your inner hoop so it sticks to your fabric for easier hooping. No shifting that way. ☺ No need to take the wash away off as the more layers of it, the better.
