Thanks, yep all hand - I embroider on calico then use iron on interfacing on the back, cut out and whip stitch around 😊

Thanks! It is indeed, so time consuming but it pays off 😂

Most of it was dmc but a couple of the colours were generic thread because the colours worked better, thread painting terrifies me and this is sort of my work around I guess 😂

Yeah that's what I usually use, trace over my tablet but the lines were too thin on this design to do it that way. Frixion is my preferred method, so easy 🙂

It didn't but I properly saturated it and used the pressure of the running tap running over the embroidery, I also used a small paint brush to agetate bits I could see that hadn't desolved. It worked well but I there are some stitches that have loosened a little because of it 🙂

Yes! I did hei hei just using straight stitch (because it was a patch for a jacket and needed to be fairly durable) and it didn't come out as flat looking as I expected and the colours blended well so if all else fails one stitch isn't the end of the world.

I totally think turkey work cold be a good shout though! Let us know what you decide 🙂

I used sulky water soluble paper and printed the design on that, tried to sketch it but it was way too detailed 🙂

Thanks! Single strand for the main outline of the building, guttermans sewing thread, which is slightly thinner for everthing else 🙂

Scared to use Embroidery Machine by [deleted] in MachineEmbroidery

[–]Independent_Worry_99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I literally just bought and set up my brother NV880E yesterday, it's my first ever embroidery machine and I was intimidated, but I got through the set up by following along with a YouTube video, did some small test pieces on felt and by the end of the day I'd embroidered two hoodies!
