  • 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: Brother700E & Brother PE Lite

    Tear away is a distant relative of "non-woven" fabrics. There is just very little strength in them. I use them on denim and other heavy fabrics. It is recommended that you use a heavy adhesive and after removing the protective covering, use a heavy cut away on the adhesive. The cut away is...

  • Re: PUCKERING

    Hi Virginia, You are correct,puckering is one of the biggest problems a lot of ME folk complain about. It can be caused by several things, 1. that you have under stabilized the fabric 2. that your desired design is very stitch intensive and too much for the fabric, 3. that when you are hooping your project...

  • Re: Stitch Density and Fabrics

    I can not stress enough the fact ALWAYS,ALWAYS ,ALWAYS do test sew outs for any type of fabric. It is the best way to tell what stabilizers you need for that particular item.Some may need two,three even more .I never do any embroidery without WSS on the top.It just makes every project come out nicer...

  • Re: Stitch Density and Fabrics

    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: Hooping Heavy Stuff

    I will be doing a detailed blog on hooping around June 6. In the meantime, let me suggest that you NOT hoop this fabric. I will give the reasons and explanations in June, but for now, only hoop the cut away stabilizer and set your hoop in your machine. Place your fabric on top of the stabilizer and secure...
