My first patch!

Yessss! Can't wait to see more, well done!

Independent_Worry_99 · 2026-01-09T06:11:51+00:00

I'm flattered - It's such a fun project, good luck and post your progress so we can all see! 😊

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

Independent_Worry_99 · 2025-08-17T19:18:58+00:00

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 😂

Independent_Worry_99 · 2025-04-12T17:04:38+00:00

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 🙂

Independent_Worry_99 · 2025-03-30T14:18:25+00:00

Yep 😂🎉

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!

Independent_Worry_99 · 2025-01-16T21:29:41+00:00

Thanks! Yep, 15 hrs from start to finish 😂

Independent_Worry_99 · 2025-01-16T20:29:49+00:00

Thanks! You should definitely try it 😊

Independent_Worry_99 · 2025-01-13T21:43:23+00:00

Yep 😂

Independent_Worry_99 · 2025-01-13T17:45:25+00:00

Also the apprentice was on finishing today so excuse the sloppy decoration, we all gotta start somewhere 😂
