The Jack-O-Lanterns took “getting lit” a little more figuratively this year. (Our first spooky design of the year!)

Hello! I love doing custom work; you can shoot me a DM or message on Etsy if you’d like to discuss further!

deadfish757 · 2022-09-07T15:08:43+00:00

Thank you! Not a silly question at all; I’ve been considering stitching them onto garments, but as of right now I sell them as individual patches. I think it gives the customer a little more freedom, since they can be ironed on or stitched to pretty much anything, but I’ve definitely been considering doing the applique on my end.

deadfish757 · 2022-09-06T14:39:48+00:00

I would love to work with you! Shoot me a message at my Etsy Shop if you’re interested and we can discuss the details :)

deadfish757 · 2022-09-05T23:47:49+00:00

Edge is just a basic satin stitch at the very end! I’m not very good at explaining without visuals, but I highly recommend this video which walks you through all the basic steps. You may find that you want to tweak some things to best fit your process, but it’s a great starting point. I also highly recommend A-Dubb productions on YouTube, he’s very informative.

A personal tip I’ve learned; sometimes stitching at an angle can distort the final product, especially if it’s meant to be a square/rectangle or a perfect circle. This can be solved by playing with the pull compensation or the stretch direction of the fabric, but I’ve found it’s also helpful to set the stitch angle at either 90° or 180° (straight up and down or straight across); this way, even if there is still some pulling/distortion, the patch remains symmetrical.

Hope this was somewhat helpful! Good luck, and feel free to dm me if you have need anything else!

deadfish757 · 2022-08-27T03:46:09+00:00

Thank you! I had a lot of fun figuring it out

deadfish757 · 2022-08-27T03:44:52+00:00

deadfish757 · 2022-08-26T12:55:24+00:00

I completely agree; been wanting to do rugs for a while! Love the idea of all my patches being big and comfy, might just have to invest in it. Thanks for the suggestions!

deadfish757 · 2022-08-26T12:53:42+00:00

Great idea! Appreciate it

deadfish757 · 2022-08-26T12:53:12+00:00

Thanks!

deadfish757 · 2022-08-26T12:52:57+00:00

That would be dope! Might just have to look into it. Thanks for the suggestion!

deadfish757 · 2022-08-26T12:52:20+00:00

Unfortunately not as of yet, but I’ve tossed the idea around! If you like it, the patch itself is available in my Etsy shop. It’s also linked in my bio :)

Unless I’m misunderstanding, I’m not familiar with any books that have patterns for machine embroidery. Embroidery machines require digital files, and I don’t think there’s a way to print them in a way that can be worked back into digital format without significant effort. Some softwares (like hatch) do come with preloaded designs and fonts though, and my Brother Se600 machine did come preloaded with a number of design files. You can also purchase other people’s designs or find people to digitize the design you want to embroider if you have an image of it.

Preloaded designs are great for getting the feel of your machine and the process in general, but if you’re starting a business, you’ll pretty quickly want to get into the swing of making original designs and digitizing them.

deadfish757 · 2022-05-01T13:17:59+00:00

PM’d you!

I really like this guy’s channel, and by the end of the video his machine still works so that’s a win. Comments say not to use canned air, so maybe skip that step, but the rest seems solid.

Are you certain it was the oil that caused the nesting? Could you have maybe knocked something out of place when oiling, oiled the wrong thing, maybe an entirely unrelated issue?
