That is adorable but lot of work. Got one in bigger hoop

The biggest hoop is 9x14 and they are all made with the same process.

I love your work and videos are well done. Can I ask where do you buy your snaps, hardware from? I'm having some problems with weak snaps and finding good hardware. I'm in western Canada.

[@threadmodeembroidery2374]

Hi thank you glad you like them :). I am in Canada as well but I order from the USA. I get most of my snaps and rivets at Buckleguy.com they always set well and snap correctly. The main issue a lot of the time is the setting tools as well, you need good tools to set them as well as quality hardware. I use the table press as it gets a nice even pressure and works every time. hopefully that helps.

When the design is released will you be providing instructions on positioning for directional patterned vinyl please?

[@threadmodeembroidery2374]

OK, I made a note in the instructions. 👍🏼

[@debbiepotaczala3327]

I am curious as to what type of thread you are using. I also have a Husqvarna machine and it doesn't like standard polyester thread for embroideries so I would have to use Rayon or SB Poly. I am enjoying you patterns and an thankful for the videos.

[@threadmodeembroidery2374]

Agreed ! Husqvarna machines appear to be very very picky with what embroidery thread they will use willingly. I find that the sulky brand in the larger spools works well and I also like Gunold thread and I find Madera will do OK as well. All the rest just shred and make life miserable. Also something that is very important for the Husqvarna machines, and a lot of the single needle machines, is to have a thread support. I have a homemade one where I put the thread on the table and weave it through a hole in a stick before threading into the machine. It’s also a machine that I have to babysit constantly.

Love the pattern Where do you purchase your rivets and button snaps? Thanks.

[@threadmodeembroidery2374]

The snaps and rivets are from Buckleguy.com (I have no affiliate) www.buckleguy.com/brass-snap-fasteners/#/Hardware-C231/Snap-Fasteners-C153/?Size=F551%7CF562&Finish=Nickel+Plate+%28NP%29-F633&noidx=1 www.buckleguy.com/rv9295-double-cap-rivet-cap-9-2mm-post-9-5mm-nickel-plate-solid-brass-ll-100-sets-per-bag/

Thank you.

[@laureneshewan1723]

where do you buy your pretty colored vinyl?

[@threadmodeembroidery2374]

Hello, I just get my vinyl at local stores in Canada, and also sometimes when I cross the border into New York at Joann’s.

[@jenniferschildt6635]

What is the tool you’re using on the edges after you cut?

[@threadmodeembroidery2374]

I think you are referring to the lighter I am using on the edge :) I use a lighter on the edges especially when using felt because it neatens up the "fluff" from the material. ....(disclaimer, I do not take responsibility for people who burn, or singe their project piece, or for any misuse of a lighter...just sayin' )

[@jenniferschildt6635]

@@threadmodeembroidery2374 thanks for the explanation! Couldn’t tell what was going on there in the sped up portion.

[@threadmodeembroidery2374]

@@jenniferschildt6635 lol I figured :) it is likely something you already do

[@ufoquilter86]

Do you have a link for your rivet press, please?

[@threadmodeembroidery2374]

The rivet press I use is from Buckleguy dot com. I think it may have changed a bit from when I bought it.
