  • The Avid Embroiderer Presents: Cutwork, August 8, 2008

    I just returned from a short trip. By the time I got to Phoenix, it was 112° and it was 115° where I was staying. Naturally that got me to thinking about . . . Christmas. (I am sure there must be some sort of relationship there!) When I think of Christmas and all those gifts, I have three guiding...

  • Re: Gaps, Puckering, Outlines

    Margie, I just looked at the towels you are doing and they look like the same type of fabric that I am using right now,it is very thin cotton. this is only a suggestion, you might try using a basting stitch before you start your design to hold everything in place while the design is stitching out. When...

    My goodness,I just realized you had two types of fabric you are using here.Silly me !I would say again for the cotton,what are you using for stabilizer's? Cotton is a very light weight fabric,so dense stitches are likely to pucker it. I just thought of something else as well,did you re-size the design...

  • Re: Stitch Density and Fabrics

    Well, I guess my first question ,is what are you using for stabilizers? Are you hooping it or are you going outside the hoop? If it were me I would use a sticky on the hoop,then an iron on,light tack tear away on the back of the sweatshirt.Then lay it on the sticky,and embroider it out side the hoop...
