How to Embroider Different fabrics WITHOUT puckering

[@kristieb1148]

Oh my! So thankful I came across this page. Mine looked way worse than the pink shirt…👀. I love it!!

[@joeast8223]

As a complete beginner I found this very useful. Thank you ☺️

[@EmbroideryNurse]

I was new when I made this video, but it is still relevant!

[@hleigh842]

Very helpful and informative. I especially liked the use of the printout.

[@carolweber573]

Spoken like a true nurse!! See one, do one, teach one!! Thank you for sharing your trials and errors. I too have been testing stabilization techniques on various fabrics. I too am a nurse!!

[@EmbroideryNurse]

So many nurses have a crafty side too!!

[@amyg918]

Thank you - I also find that if you cut your stabilizer with pinking shears - it doesn't show on the right side as a line around the monogram

[@yourteesyourway]

Good info and solution for that fabric challenge, Thanks for sharing

[@maryharvey724]

Worth all your extra prep. Thanks for sharing your success story.

[@mitziblanchard6704]

Thank you for the video.

[@sewlovelywithgrace]

Wow! what a difference. Thanks for sharing.

[@fairyerika]

Thank you so much! You saved me a lot of heartache!

[@makingnewdreamscometrue]

Great work. I admire your determination and work ethic. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you!!!! 🙏🏻

[@lindamotley6217]

Whatever it takes, good to know!!!!!!

[@bernielove49]

I also print my designs too. Great work.

[@EmbroideryNurse]

I couldn't do it any other way!

[@ladyjdurant7039]

I just started the video and immediately subscribed when I realized you're wearing a Carolina Panthers shirt! Lol! Love it! And very helpful video. I am about to start embroidering all of my girls school uniform shirts, there are about 20 total. Very helpful video because I did purchase them a few of these button up shirts.

[@EmbroideryNurse]

Yay! Thank you! Go Panthers!! This was the original video I created years ago and it makes me laugh when I watch it! I was in my PJS!!! But this video alone convinced me to start making videos when I saw there was a need for more "how to" embroidery videos!

[@johnsimpson1387]

Thank you , any tips on using velvet

[@TanyaOwens]

Yes, lots of stabilization is the trick. I interfaced duck cloth with medium interface and two pieces of cutaway stabilization to ensure the embroidery laid flat and nicely. My machine's manual actually says use two pieces of stabilization.

[@lynnosullivan1754]

Thanks. I'm dealing with that issue right now on some reading pillows for grandkids. The Cinderella Carriage is not looking very good. I thought that SF101 on the back with medium cut away in the hoop would be good. Thank again. I'm on my way to get more fabric. I'll try your way.

Yes the silky materials are difficult. Infinite ways to fail and only a few ways to succeed. Lol gotta love the challenge. I appreciate any and all tips and tricks for this. Thank you!🙏

[@Shuggarae]

Wow! so great full for this video, saved me time on my on mistakes. Do you suggest the same regime for satin like materials.

[@missy404]

I used these tips for a satin robe and it worked PERFECTLY

[@twinkie1773]

Do you have a video explaining how to embroider on a coach jacket or windbreaker?

[@zunaidzunaid]

Well done and thanks for helping us newbies, but that is a LOT of stabilizer. How much do you charge for each shirt? I live in South America and access to good quality stabilizers is expensive and cumbersome. I treasure every inch I own, especially the no-show mesh and wash-away kind as it is only available from the US. I understand the need for good quality work but how do you balance cost?

[@megancleary5794]

Yes sadly, I too had to use 4 layers on my woven, I used two of fusible tearaway and two none fusible that was a little heavier and it work. I was getting so frustrated that my Design was not going to come out, so thank you for the tip.

[@EmbroideryNurse]

Your welcome!

[@rosemason2071]

I used 4 layers on my woven and the letters across the bottom still puckered some.

[@olajokesjourney]

Wow, what a difference!. What needle did you use for this woven fabric?

I have used a no show mesh and then floated a piece of cut/tear away under the hoop. I've tried with and without topper. Depends on the design size and fabric.

[@mariefont2610]

thank you this was helpfull!

[@NinjaNeko93]

Would you do the same method for a bella canvas shirt with a very dense design?

[@MarianPena-seamstobesew]

thank you, so helpful... it is to bad one has to use so much stabilizer to get that right tho.

[@EmbroideryNurse]

Most projects will only require 1!

[@kimberleejoyner4478]

Can you do a video on a baby diaper cover? The one I got from Embroider This is so cute but when I embroidered it it puckered due to extra fabric on top that could not be flattened.

[@Mr.Trailer79]

Ooo my god. Five layers stabilizer is increadible but result is very good. I am frigthened.

[@mle3131]

Help! I bought some of this spray adhesive and both of my machines ended up in the shop. It would cause the needle to become sticky and then the thread frayed and broke getting stuck in the machine. Not realizing what it was doing I continued to sew and fight with the thread. Eventually the knotting from the fraying bent the spring at the guide above the needle. It was so bad it completely locked up one of my machines.

[@chrisc7566]

Can use the messed up one to do test before actually doing others to get right amount of stabilization.

[@debbiewhite3270]

Thank you. This was excellent. I have subscribed :-))

[@viddy8379]

Can you please explain again your layers .. You say polymesh in the video but not sure which one is “ soft and Sheer” and which one is “Tender Touch” that you put underneath in the writing information. Thankyou. i am confused,,, easily done while still in Hospital. Thanks.

If you have time to answer... did the finished product turn "bullet proof" or so heavy that it almost felt like a patch?

[@EmbroideryNurse]

No it really did not! It was perfect!

[@candlesoftheearthbestcandl995]

That new one looks really good!. Thanks for the advice in case I ever get one of those bad shirts. Better to do more than less!

[@bonnieross9601]

Great video, what size needle? Any suggestion to top off for silk? Don’t want water marks & unable to steam. Nervous, favor for a friend!!!!

[@EmbroideryNurse]

I steer clear of silk!! I would probably float for fear of hoop burns...

[@peterturner1582]

Just hoop the no show mesh and use a temporary adhesive spray to float the silk in the hoop. I would test the fabric and see if you could also baste the silk in the hoop just to make sure it doesn't move. Some very sheer silk would show the basting holes so a test is a must.

[@janetmckinney2487]

great video .where did you get your topping?

[@EmbroideryNurse]

this can all be purchased on Amazon

[@fayehill268]

Thank you for your tips. What font did you use?

Faye it is just a simple circle monogram.

What size needle did you use?

[@EmbroideryNurse]

80/12 which I use on everything!

[@peterturner1582]

All of my embroidery is done with a 75/11 sewing needle, even with metallic threads. You get a much finer perforating of the fabric and I have always gotten great results. I even use this needle when embroidering on vinyl, leather and cork.

[@mikkiwachtel2870]

I’m just seeing this now, so I don’t know if you are still looking at any comments, but I am curious as to the way you hooped this. Because you were working across the front half of the shirt, you obviously could not get the fabric completely in the hoop that you were using. So why didn’t you either use a much smaller hoop, enabling you to hoop the fabric completely or, if that was not possible, why didn’t you hoop the fabric vertically so that you would have the entire shirt fabric within the hoop, enabling you to get that fabric completely taut. Then you could’ve just turned your design and still been able to have your vertical monogram. You still may have needed additional stabilizer, but perhaps not as much as you ended up using. Not having all four sides around the monogram completely within the hoop and completely taught certainly may have contributed to the puckering that you initially experienced.

[@EmbroideryNurse]

This was made so long ago!! I do know the buttons were a problem, I could not hoop along the buttons for fear of breaking them! It worked out in the end! I have come a long way since this item, but I leave it up so others can keep learning!

Where you get the shirt and the name

[@EmbroideryNurse]

The shirts were supplied by my customer - the pink shirt in the video that I messed up on I was able to replace by finding the EXACT shirt on Amazon!!

[@carmenallocco6497]

Thank you I'm tired of ruining shirts.

[@ethiopianeyes]

Use cutaway and be done with it. forget all that

[@JasmineJordyn]

ethiopianeyes I was thinking the same thing, maybe 2 pieces of cutaway and a water topping...

[@peterturner1582]

Cutaway is totally unsuitable for such a sheer shirt. You would see it through the fabric and the no show mesh cutaway which is sheer and doesn't show through is not stable enough to provide the same level of stabilization. That's why she used two layers.

[@prbasset6371]

No way! You reduce pull compensation and density.....No need for all those layers.

[@EmbroideryNurse]

Thanks - this is an older video but even after all i have learned over the past few years I would not change pull composition or the density! It really is all in the stabilization with this particular project, I might not do as much as I showcased here.

[@nancydumas2906]

Good job! Your booboo helps us all.. thank u

[@tq5924]

Over Kill !!! Mam you Are Losing Money on these Jobs. Thicker Backing and Proper Hooping is all you need. 30 years in the Biz. Just my 2 cents.

[@megancleary5794]

Hi Hector, Can you please tell me what brand of thicker backing you would recomend, And would a fusible Tearaway be better, I am having issuses with a design with a woven, the stitch count is 12037. Any help would be most grateful.

[@JB-wd2bd]

@@megancleary5794 Hi Megan, I too am having trouble getting a flat stitch out (a font) on a woven quilters cotton fabric. This video has surprised me to see that I may need to use 5 layers of stabilizer.

[@peterturner1582]

Thicker backing would be visible from the front of the shirt so no show mesh is the appropriate stabilizer and you would definitely need two layers. Also 30 years in the business.
