DIY Sashes | Sash Embroidery (Embroidery Hub Ep. 58)

DIY sashes are perfect for special events, but most embroiderers wonder how to embroider sashes due to their shape. Machine embroidery requires that you hoop all sides of the garment within the hoop, therefore when embroidering sashes, you can't hoop them traditionally. Instead, when embroidering sashes, you will need to use a technique referred to by machine embroiderers as floating. In machine embroidery, floating essentially means you hoop the stabilizer alone and pin the item to the stabilizer to secure it into place. However, floating unusually shaped items can cause them to shift while the machine is embroidering, which can throw your design off-center. However, with Laura's tips and tricks, you can perfectly center and float your design on your sash without any issues.
In this tutorial, you'll learn...
How to make DIY sashes for prom, bridal showers, bachelorette parties, pageants, graduation, sororities and more.
How to properly float your items without running the risk of throwing your design off-center (regardless of what you're embroidering).
Laura's favorite trick for embroidering sashes whether (Hint: It's similar to appliqué embroidery).
And plenty of other machine embroidery tips and tricks!

Hi everyone, thank you for the video- very clear and informative. My question is how do you get a running stitch on your design? Is it the same as basting stitch?

[@ricomatv]

Hi! What exactly are you trying to do? Once we get a bit more clarity, we can help out!

[@stacyle9308]

How do I create a running stitch?

[@ricomatv]

You can use the run stitch feature on chroma. It looks like an S. Just click along the path you want stitched and that's it.

Can you let me know the name of the metallic thread? Ty

[@ricomatv]

Hi Grace, you can find metallic threads on Amazon. www.amazon.com/Metallic-Embroidery-Thread/s?k=Metallic+Embroidery+Thread

Where did you buy your sash from?

[@ricomatv]

Hi! You can purchase them locally or online depending the retailer you go to.

[@hubertgietl4627]

To all embroiderers: please do never use temporary adhesive spray in front of an embroidery machine! This can cause blocking needle bars because of the glue.

[@akearajohnson-cobin3667]

Great video!! I’m curious about 2 things. 1) how would you embroider a larger design? I.e. longer words on the sash?! 2) where did you purchase your sash?!?

[@ricomatv]

We got them at Walmart or amazon I believe. What you can do to make a bigger design is to do it in sections through out the sash.

[@mariiiz1436]

Can this be done on felt material... ?

[@Ltscoobydoo]

Great videos!

[@ricomatv]

Thank you!!!

[@ronzzyvlog8182]

very nice

[@angelkmartin]

Coming from a technician standpoint... you should not ever spray adhesive while on the machine. It creates tons of problems

We appreciate your feedback!
