How to Make Embroidered Hooping – Personal Tip

December 15, 2019 by David Allen Leave a Comment

Your outer hoop holds the tension and the inner hoop holds the layers of fabric and stabilizer.We need to have proper hoop tension. Hoop and unhook the fabric with stabilizer to get good hoop tension before you start your hooping process.Use the smallest size hoop to accommodate your design.If you have too much fabric in your
hoop it will cause your design to bounce around and also cause puckering and gaps around design.Don’t use use ironing board to hoop on as usually it is too soft and the foam on the ironing board may make your hooping slightly out. Use a flat table or flat bench.Loosen the adjustment screw all the way out.Lay stabilizer and fabric
together.Use the right stabilizer for your fabric and make sure the stabilizer is larger than the embroidery frame when hooping.

Stabilizer needs to be larger so there is no pulling or moving of it when the hoop moves about.Place inner frame in hoop and push it in with ONE push to stop fabric moving about.Now this is where you smooth out the fabric and stabilizer and press the hoops into each other,make sure there are no bubbles.Remove any wrinkles or waves at this stage.Don’t tighten the screw then tug and tug this causes puckering. no standing up pushing your fingers in it too.Gently tighten screw. (pulling on the fabric once it is hooped may cause you puckering). Don’t over tighten screw or you may break it in half.Your fabric needs to be taut but not out of shape by you pulling at
it.

A lot of home embroidery designs are digitized for 4×4 standard hoop area unless it states otherwise.Hoops do stretch overtime so always handy to have a spare.You may want to replace the hoop and keep the stretched one for heavier fabrics like denim or fleece.I always keep 2 sets of hoops in there sizer’s 1 for heavy and 1 for
thin fabric. Stretched hoops will cause shifting.The fabric may get a wave and you catch it up in the stitching.

Look at the grain of the fabric once you have hooped, if it looks stretched remember it will remain stretched once embroidery is done. If your grain looks offline start again you want your fabric to sit smooth on the stabilizer. It’s important to understand that not every design can be used on every type of fabric, even with the proper stabilizer. Fabric that’s stretched too tightly when hooped will relax when unhooked. A dense design with high stitch count does not work well on knits.Some designs are suitable for more stable fabric, but for a lightweight fabric or a loose unstable weave, use a design with fewer fill stitches.If you don’t think you are hooping wrongly and still getting puckering it may also be very tight machine tensions.When your machine tension is too tight you will know because it will pull the stitches so tight and your fabric will always be puckering look at this on narrow stitches or satin.

It is always hard to keep stabilizer taut in a larger hoop you may have adjust and use fabric glue stick or spray adhesive or fusible stabilizer to help stop shifting during machine embroidery. Will always depend on what fabric you are embroidering on.As you get more skilled with hooping you kind of know if it will work or not. Make sure you have a lot of space around your machine and that no one places something behind the embroidery frame. My DH is famous for placing something behind my machine causing my hoop to get stuck when stitching.Your machine needs plenty of room. The fabric must not be too heavy and pulling down on your hoop.Support your heavy fabric on a chair if you have to. Mens overalls can be done easy on our domestic embroidery machine as long as you support the weight of your fabric on a chair.look out for sleeves getting caught or extra fabric getting stitched.

If you are hooping to loosely you will find your fabric has a wave or a bump through it.Before you start lightly run your hand ever slightly over the top.Too much movement start again. Remember that tearaways are for stable fabrics and cutaways work best for most unstable fabric or fabrics that stretch.If project is all hooped up and you notice the stabilizer is not supporting the design side another layer of tearaway under the project will often
get you out of trouble.

How to Make Embroidered Lace – Personal Tip

December 15, 2019 by David Allen Leave a Comment

l love making lace because it involves my head and hands when it comes to making lace don’t thing there are rules but just people experimenting what works for them.Making lace is a learning process that each and everyone one of us most work through.Anyone doing lace or been in my lace classes will know l love disposable bobbins and
love using them in lace making.

If l had to wind my bobbins l would never get my lace done. I never have to touch my tension with them they work like a dream in my Brother machines. A lot of bobbin thread on a big spool can sometimes be made very fast when winded which gives us many knots and can cause upper thread breaks and stopping and starting.This is frustrating when you look at the time one puts in for lace making.

I love my spun polyester bobbins Nebs they are knot less and l get no dust on my rotary hook which many know dust can shorten the life of your machine. I love to use water soluble vileness for my lace making but the hooping of it is very important. I hoop it taut so there are no wrinkles usually just one layer.

It is made for high stitch counts it will not stretch in any direction is not a film so it dissolves quickly in hot or cold water. Water soluble vilene is as strong as a cutaway ideal for my customers to use for there lace making.
With my lace no one really looks at the bottom only the top so sometimes if it is a metallic l might match top and bottom just for looks. A very dense lace design l find needs 2 layers of water soluble vileness.

The main problem ladies make with lace l find is not being sure if it is freestanding or not.For anyone out there having a giggle yes l made the mistake too of not checking. Had stitched this lovely cloth all together which when washed l was left with a big mess of threads in my sink.

Laugh about it now but was jumping up and down at the time. LOL I know now to ask the lace designer weather it is free standing or not. Freestanding lace the stitching is woven with other stitches and good lace designs are digitized in a way that supports the overall stitching and have an underlay of thread.

The direction of the stitching along with the interlocking stitches is so important in making freestanding lace.

Other lace designs not free standing are to be sewn out to give a lacy effect are stitched out on fabric base such as voile,batiste or organza.Nowadays l just put my lace designs in the washing machine when finished.

I usually add some fabric softer which makes my lace lovely and soft.Choose your lace designs carefully and remember to ask the digitize if it is free standing.

Some embroidering projects can be difficult to do with cheap machines that have less power, less features and are cheaply made, you will end up more frustrated having to stop and adjust the machine every 5 minutes. With a machine like the Janome Memory Craft 350E there is no need to worry about having such issues.

Brother PE500 4×4 Embroidery Machine With 67 Built-in Stitches

Brother PE 500If you want to try your hand at a little bit of machine embroidery without investing tons of money in a machine, the PE 500 is the one for you. There are only 70 designs pre-loaded on the machine, but you can do monogramming in your choice of 3 different alphabet styles and acquire more designs via embroidery cards or transfer them from your pc via the cable that is included in this package. Unlike a couple of other Brother sewing machines, bobbins wind smoothly and evenly with a minimum of fuss. The largest possible size of your design is 4″ X 4″ – quite small compared to professional embroidery machines, but the PE 500 is a good machine for learning the basics of machine embroidery.

It has automatic stitching button and will knit your designs in minutes. It has built in designs, and LED screen for the user to view. It also provides a warranty period of 25 years which is good. But problems would lead during large embroidery working as it’s not recommended for heavy materials and huge designs. It’s not handy like a laptop or a tablet as you need to connect it through your personal computer all the time for new designs. Time consuming to knit alphabets as they are not by default. I would not recommend this product for professional designers. No doubt it’s an amazing product for starters and teenagers who are creative and love knitting. Definitely great for simple projects.

Types Of Embroidery Machines?

Computerized – Embroidery machines have come a long way since the simple sewing machines of the past. These days they are mostly computerized, which is not a bad thing since they now have the ability to help make projects much easier. You only have to select the type of stitch for your project then the on-board computer pretty much sets it up for you.

Not ony are Embroidery Machines far more advanced in features but did you know most machines also have USB’s ports? This is a great feature to look for, USB ports allow the user to easily connect the machine to a computer which is fantastic for uploading patterns and saving settings and much more…

Free Motion – The free motion embroidery machine is more for tailoring, although not computerized this type still has many uses. More suitable for advanced users as they do not have the ability to load any pre-made patterns like the computerized machine can.

What makes a Top Embroidery Machine

I personally think the perfect Embroidery Machines for you will be the one with the features and functions you plan on using it for, within the price range you have set. If your a beginner maybe start with a basic (but good brand) to get started with.

The brand should play a big part in your decision. Sometimes it is better to pay a little more for a reputable brand, this way you know your getting a quality machine, which usually comes with better support if needed, better instructions, and just better performance.

What we think?

If your a beginner or advanced try the computerized embroidery machine as they have many more options that cut the time it takes for making projects way down.

If you know what your doing and have used an embroidery machine for a while, and do not want or need all the extra functions that are included with the computerized models then stick with a good quality Free Motion Embroidery Machine.
