How to Monogram a Canvas Tote Bag - Monogram Monday Embroidery Tutorial

[@ginnyr5437]

Thanks for showing the single needle procedure. Just starting out so only have the single and you make this all look so easy. Thank you,

[@EmbroideryNurse]

Absolutely- once you learn to master the single needle everything else is a breeze!

[@lakegirlroxy9852]

You are amazing!

[@EmbroideryNurse]

Wow, thank you! Love your name "boogie Woogie!"

Embroidery Nurse I love to boogie on down on my piano and keyboard and I live on a lake surrounded by water, that is how I came up with my name... Fun! I hope you have plans to make more videos, you have such an upbeat personality and you are too cute for yourself! I love your videos

[@MakerandDreamer]

Great bag !

[@Lawyerforlife1]

Hi, love your videos for both multi-needle and single needle instructions. Would you mind doing a craft room tour video in the future? Thanks in advance and have a nice day. 😊

[@EmbroideryNurse]

Good idea - my house is on the market as I type so it is SUPER DUPER clean right now!!

[@coast100finds3]

I appreciate your videos SO much! Could you share or show any tips on working with seersucker?! Like stabilizer and such, is it possible to put a tender touch or soft backing on it or do you just leave it as is? I've got a swimsuit to do and I'm sweating it!! Thanks a bunch!

[@EmbroideryNurse]

Absolutely! Seersucker is my favorite!!!!

[@dollsmaria]

Thank you for sharing so much 😘 I’m also new and have a question you are pretty quick to response I just purchased the PE800 😘 The software EMBRILLIANCE EMBROIDERY 🧵 that is a one time charge it’s probably a dumb? Also would I be able to create like a birthday shirt for my grand babies?

[@EmbroideryNurse]

Yes - you only pay once! It is so worth the money!!!

I am using a brother pe800 embroidery machine, what would you recommend i set my tension to?

[@karenderbes5943]

Those bags are gorgeous, thanks for such a great tutorial! I'm just wondering....do all of those pins mess up that waterproof lining (of the bag)? Also, I see that you don't use WSS as a topper on these bags. Do you find that you do not need it?

[@charissawright6288]

I noticed in another of your videos that you use the Durkee hoop for shirts. Do you prefer it over the ones that came with your machine?

[@EmbroideryNurse]

Charissa LittleLoopyLou yes I ONLY use my Durkee 9x9 hoop for shirts!! It was /is a game changer for my business!

[@charissawright6288]

@@EmbroideryNurse Thanks!! I just ordered a mighty hoop for my machine. I cant stand the hoop that came with the machine.

[@EmbroideryNurse]

Charissa LittleLoopyLou I have heard great reviews from mighty hoops! You’ll have to let me know how you like them!

[@charissawright6288]

@@EmbroideryNurse I'm excited to try it. So many ideas.

[@reneerueppel7370]

Any suggestions where to look for those kind of totes elsewhere? The site you mentioned has a minimum $150 order and I can't afford that.

[@EmbroideryNurse]

Do you have a group you sell in? You can post about them and tell your group that you need 4 confirmed orders before you post these! These sell for almost 40$ monogrammed - if you get 4 confirmed invoiced and paid you will have already made the $150 minimum order requirement and anything else purchased will be profit! Another site you can check in the meantime is www.bagzdepot.com

[@reneerueppel7370]

Thank you.

[@kimw4324]

What machine do you have?

[@EmbroideryNurse]

(2) Babylocks and a Ricoma

[@kimw4324]

@@EmbroideryNurse What do you recommend for someone trying to do it on the side like you, but just starting out?

[@EmbroideryNurse]

Kim Wells it depends on your end goal! If you want to grow a business I would invest in a multi needle machine - the Ricoma 1010 is a 10 needle hone embroidery machine that you can literally get for as low as $130 a month! I have the commercial version but the 1010 would definitely be a good fit!!
