Does the embroidery need to be durable?Īn on-going conversation among machine embroidery folks is hooping.

What effect are you going for: matte, shiny or metallic?.

When choosing a thread we need to ask these questions: There are many brands of thread, various weights and different fiber contents. Using good thread in your machine is like filling your car up with the right gas. Will you be using metallic, polyester or rayon thread? Will you be stitching on a baby Onesie or thick towel? These will be part of the topics of conversation in the Needles portion of my Embroider-Along series. Just like stabilizers, needle selection can seem daunting but there are just a couple of basics. Needle selection depends on the material and thread type.

Needles play a huge part in stitch quality on basic sewing so you can imagine when your needle is going up and down 600-1000 stitches per minute it’s even more important to get it right. Will you be stitching on knit, woven, sheer fabric or a napped fabric? During my Embroider-Along I will cover which stabilizers are best based on the type of material you are using in your project. The best way to choose stabilizer will depend on the type of material you are embroidering on. There are hundreds of different stabilizers on the market however, when broken down, there are just a few types. There are four basics of machine embroidery to cover in the Embroider-Along series so you get the best results when machine embroidering.Ĭhoosing the correct stabilizer can make or break your project. Let’s face it, some of us have been machine embroidering for 20+ years and over time, things have changed.

This Embroider-Along will be a place of education and guidance for the beginner.
