THANK YOU I HAVE NOT USED MY embroidery machine now a have a reason to i enjoyed your tutorial

[@jenniekinsey9776]

Love your video!!! Not sure if this is possible but I would think so, and figured you would know lol! Let’s say I’m doing an appliqué design and I wanted the fabric for the appliqué to look like a quilt material, like has the quilt pattern stitches on it, do you know how I could do that?

[@charliedeloach1222]

Thanks-or the great tutorial! Unrelated question-what brand is your magnetic pin cushion I see to the right of your computer?

[@HomemadeEmilyJane]

Thank you! This is the magnetic pin cushion: amzn.to/492UiEi

I was looking for how to do smaller letter for labels, for craft work where items are small.

[@debracole3595]

Could I get you list of ideas for a quilt label please. Thank you

[@camblass5560]

Great video! So clearly photographed. Would you share more about the fonts and sizes you have found that work well when embroidering labels?

[@HomemadeEmilyJane]

I normally just use the fonts that came on my software, but if you’re looking for more fun ones, check out Designs by JuJu!

[@camblass5560]

What size fonts do you think work best? I have used 1/4 inch but wonder if a 1/2 inch would be too large. Your fonts look larger.

[@HomemadeEmilyJane]

Definitely try the 1/2” size! My font sizes vary but the finished label is normally at least 7” wide so the words are clearly legible

[@NightingaleNews]

What quilting design is this? It’s so pretty.

[@marleneclausen30]

I make all my quilt labels on my embroidery machine. I highly recommend a single layer of water soluble stabilizer (wss) such as Pellon Wash ‘n Gone. After sewing out the label, I soak it to dissolve the stabilizer. It stays under the stitches to support them but no stiff stabilizer under the label.

[@HomemadeEmilyJane]

Great tip! Thanks!

[@giselaa6111]

question regarding size of letters in the software? and what thickness of your thread? please thanks for a great tutorial greetings from Sweden

[@HomemadeEmilyJane]

Hi! The sizes in the software vary quite a bit and are entirely customizable! It’s incredible!! And the thread is a classic polyester or rayon embroidery thread, I’m not sure the technical size though.

[@micheledonnelly5466]

What stabilizer do you use for the label?

[@HomemadeEmilyJane]

That’s a great question! Normally I either use tear away or iron-on, and I’ve linked some of my favorites in this article: homemadeemilyjane.com/how-to-label-your-quilt/

[@Amal2365]

Thank you so much 😊

[@HomemadeEmilyJane]
