How to Machine Embroider on Jeans and Pant legs

[@timmsevitz]

Do I have an embroidery machine? No. Did I watch this whole video? Yes! This is so fascinating and I love your artistry. 😊 Well done my friend!

Thanks @timmsevitz now I'm blushing. (●'◡'●)

I’ve been avoiding embroidering on jeans. Thank you. You covered everything and simplified it. Well done 😊

[@BallyhooCreations]

Dive in and try it! You might love it and once you get used to opening up the jeans - it's a simple task.

Thank you for such great information!

[@BallyhooCreations]

You're welcome! Happy stitching! 😊

Lucy, thank you so much for this video!! Looks like a great idea for New Year's projects! Merry Christmas!!

[@BallyhooCreations]

You're welcome, and I hope your New Year's projects are a success!

Thank you very much for this video. Now I am encouraged to embroider on jean. 21:30 do you mean Tracy? She is my Queen of Upcycling. Very Inspiring, just as you 😊

[@BallyhooCreations]

Did I say her name wrong? (ʘ ͜ʖ ʘ) (Sounds like something I would do.) I meant Traci Myers www.youtube.com/@tmyershandmade978 and you have reminded me to go and tag her channel so other people can find her inspiring jeans upcycling videos. So thanks for that!

Just a commet about opening the side seam on the jeans. Once you free the hem, instead of slipping the sharp point under the threads and possibly making a hole in your fabric, slip the red ball under the stitches and keep the pointed end slightly up and away from your fabric. You should be able to rip the seam right. out. This works best on straight seams and it's much faster than picking.

[@BallyhooCreations]

That's a great tip! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks do you found that titanium needles work better or last longer?

[@BallyhooCreations]

I've only used them a few times and didn't notice a difference but it was an older machine that broke needles before they could get dull. (ʘ ͜ʖ ʘ) The science says titanium will last longer. But my plain ol' 75/11 Organ needles work great so I don't see the point of spending extra.

What makes the thread shread when you start a project. ,have different kinds . But can't get through a designer.

[@BallyhooCreations]

Check out my troubleshooting video for some solutions to thread shredding: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pISqh3lqfa2nhMk The most common problem is low quality thread, but it could also be your needle or stitch plate.

[@lauriel5543]

You keep saying single needle and multi-needle . I think you mean flat bed and free arm machines. There are free arm single needle machines, the Brother Persona is a single needle machine that works like a multi needle.

[@BallyhooCreations]

You are right of course. ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°) But many people don't know the difference because ONLY Brother/Babylock sell a single needle rotary hook/free arm machine. In all of my videos, I go back and forth calling them rotary hook or multi-needle, versus flatbed and single needle. But for the sake of time and not boring people to death, I don't do it EVERY time. Hope that makes sense!

[@lauriel5543]

@ all you need to say is free-arm or flat bed
