I loved the tip you gave using the lint roller I’ve never thought of doing that

[@melonsoda24]

Such a sweet idea using a onesie for the mama appliqué! Love the thread color you chose for the border. It compliments the onesie pattern well.

[@aryanayadon1504]

I think if you did each letter as an iron on patch instead of doing it directly on it would be easier. Also you could do this with a 4*4 hoop it would just be smaller than what she has here.

[@billiebeads]

Beautiful project. I was thinking you had a Silhouette machine and quickly looked at your list of videos, but I did not see anything with a Silhouette or Cricut. Anyway, I have a Pfaff Creative Sensation sewing and embroidery machine and am able to cut out my appliqué pieces with my Silhouette designer software on my Silhouette machine. I would imagine there is an affordable program somewhere that would do the same for your setup. I have a little mini wand type iron that allows me to place the cut pieces and quickly iron onto the placement stitch lines. You would save hours of time. I always enjoy your videos and enthusiasm, and I appreciate your honesty when things don’t go as planned. It happens to all of us.

[@SimplyDelilah]

Yes I have seen those mini irons! i really want one, thank you for sharing your thoughts and watching my videos! 😊

[@ruththomann7765]

Being new to embroidery, I love your videos. I've been trying to learn as much as possible and have seen several recommendations to prewash stabilizers so they don't shrink and pucker the shirt when washed. Do you ever prewash stabilizer and/or shirts? Thanks. And I love that little iron of yours!

[@SimplyDelilah]

Hello, this is why I use the floriani power mesh stabilizer, it does not shrink like others do..I don't need to prewash sweatshirts or stabilizers, I have washed my sweatshirts and after the was they still look brand new with no wrinkles in the stitching.

[@meaghanlarsen1618]

Where did you get the Kai blunt tipped scissors?

[@deltadawn72631]

I was inspired by your tutorial. I used a piece of a fat scrap of material. The only problem I had was the sweat shirt stretched in the hoop as I was timing the letters after the tack down. I was afraid I would mess it up more so I just kept going. The last 2 letters were off a bit. I have a single needle Brothers SE 1900. I used my 5x7 hoop! ❤

[@deltadawn72631]

How do I add a picture?

[@deltadawn72631]

Fat Quarter.

[@SimplyDelilah]

i wish pictures could be added here, i have my file available for purchase and it will tack all the letters down in one step then you can trim the letters at one time. you can find it here: www.shopsimplydelilah.com/embroidery-supply-list

[@pascallavoie6813]

Absolutely beautiful! Where di you get the mama design?

[@annitagalvan9049]

Hello, very nice demonstration. Beautiful embroidered appliqué letters and you've chosen nice floral design. I'm newbie to appliqué. I have the following queries. 🔹Is the Heat n bond the same as the fusible adhesive paper? I bought the Bondaweb fusible paper to be used for appliqué. 🔹Some comments mention the "single needle" what's this?? Thank you for your time and help.

[@SimplyDelilah]

i believe the fusible adhesive can be used for the same purpose, like the brand (wonder under) but you should try it on test fabric just to make sure. and a Single neeedle is an embroidery machine that looks more like a sewing machine and only has one needle so you have to keep changing the thread colors as you go.

I love it! My daughter wants me to make one for her. Can you tell me the products you needed again?

[@SimplyDelilah]

yes, Supplies Used: baby onesie heat n' bond lite KAI scissors Magnetic Mighty hoop Floriani Power Mesh infusible Stabilizer Brothread Tearaway Stabilizer ' Gildan Sweatshirt Embrilliance Essentials Software for the MAMA design Brother PR680W Embroidery Machine and thank you for watching!

[@diannesulman]

I’d like to know where you got the letters from at the beginning and why they were printed? Did you put that design into the machine? I’ve never embroidered but want to start. Thank you.

[@u2art3b]

What was the spray for?

[@renatal1972]

I use my brother scan and cut to cut out the fabric pieces with the heat and bond already attached, so I don’t have to cut the fabric in the hoop

[@ahedges2183]

How do you do that? As in, how do you make the letters the same as the ones on the machine? And how do you put them in the right place?!?

[@angelaking3398]

How do you get it to do the placement stitch and then the final stitching of the letters?

[@teresaday8296]

I love your videos and have been watching since your early days when you were mainly sewing garments and had a single needle. Do you feel the quality of embroidery is better with the multi needle vs single? I follow your instructions and everything looks good until I remove my item from the hoop. Then I have puckers and pulling! I float the item in the hoop. Is that my problem area? Thanks. Love all your videos.

[@SimplyDelilah]

hello, thank you for watching. when I used my single needle it turned out beautiful as well...and I always float mine as well.. the only thing I can think of is maybe your stabilizer? I use the floriani iron on stabilizer and then I float it to a tear away stabilizer...so basically 2 layers of stabilzer.

[@hollyvancleve6589]

Hi! How would you recommend doing this where each letter is from a different onsie pattern?

[@stephaniestasuik7453]

Love this tutorial!! New to applique embroidery. When using the Power Mesh stabilizer do you cut it away after? outside and inside the letters?

[@SimplyDelilah]

Yes i trim around the outside letters, I don't go inside the curves

[@jasn98]

Looks wonderful! Thank you for this great tutorial. I just have one question.. about what size do you make your "mama" font/word? Yours looks like a great size.

[@SimplyDelilah]

Yes, mine is 3.5" for the letters used.

[@jasn98]

Thank you very much!

[@helenecurnutte8213]

[@NaturallyDivine]

Hi! I would love to try to make one but I'm not sure what machine is needed. This will be my first time and I'm a beginner. Will this be too hard to do with a smaller machine or do you recommend a larger machine like you have?

[@andreakalina8802]

Hi! When you lay the onesie fabric down, did you secure it with anything? How did you get it to stitch over the fabric and keep the fabric tight?

[@rookdebpoye6166]

What an awesome video but it is way above my head as I just purchased my first embroidery machine a brother SE 2000. Today is the day I’m going to set it up and try an embroidery project. I have a question about the mama ? I have a cricut maker cutting machine. Is there anyway I could use the cricut to cut out the MAMA and then adhere it to the shirt Then let the embroidery machine go around the material? The placement really baffles me though how would I get the machine to exactly line up on the mama? Thank you for your videos. I have a lot a lot a lot to learn.

[@SimplyDelilah]

I have no idea how you would do it with the cricut but i think it can be done. But applique fonts will do one stitch letting you know where to place your fabric..then you put your fabric down and it continue and it will tack it down then stop for you to trim then you hit continue for it to stitch the border around the fabric. so happy for you!

[@Love4Scrapbooking]

OMG!! I finally found a tutorial that shows me exactly what I need to do. How big were your MAMA letters on this shirt and the size hoop you used. Did the hoop come with your 6 needle or is that purchased separately? I have a second hand 6 needle and I would like to make myself a shirt like this. Super cute too!!

[@SimplyDelilah]

hi, yes you can make it with the hoop it comes with. the letters were about 3.75" in height. here is my other video that shows how to create the file kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5WaqZmVpqikbqMsi=GXxkWwy1FWOtKZrw

[@ashleypilarski334]

What size hoop are you using?

[@katherinewise8777]

Could you use the letters in the machine and set it up to embroider around them? Would you have to do that in My Design Center?

[@netty3767]

Hi how do you like your Brother multi needle? Do you like having the 6 needles ? How do you like how it stitches? I’m wanting to get a multi needle and am thinking of the Brother but I worry about the insides not being strong enough to be heavy duty…If that makes any sense? Thanks for any information you may have….Your shirt turned out beautiful ❤🎉

[@SimplyDelilah]

yes that makes sense, i think you are asking since its not considered a commercial machine but its a name I trust 😊 I love all the Brother Machines, I think the Ricoma is cheaper as well as the Melco and even though they are considered commercial machines I've heard they can be really finicky...but I guess all machines can, people have different experiences with different machines but I trust the brother brand and have confidence that I didn't waste my money choosing this one.

Would I be able to embroider this mama sweatshirt with a machine that’s maximum is 4”x4” or 5”x7” I’m looking to buy a machine but it’s just so expensive..

[@SimplyDelilah]

It would be very challenging because you would have to hoop the sweatshirt 4 different times, so the letters may be misaligned, but is possible

[@juliesmith1469]

Can you do this by hand?

[@pearlenejackson4936]

Using the heat bond keeps the fabric from stretching.

[@7benners]

Thank you for the tutorial. I have a question about fabric. Are you literally using a onesie to cut mama out of? If so. Do you buy 2 one to give and one to cut? I tried to find it in the video but i couldnt quite understand

[@SimplyDelilah]

I have used there sleepers, shirts, onesies...for this specific tutorial it was just fabric..I also sew as well so the model is holding a baby outfit i sewed and then I had fabric left over that I made the mama out of. But moms give me the oneisies and I cut them up into the shirt.
