Don't give up on the variegated thread. I've used it on Christmas projects and it was the perfect finishing touch.Dana Gaffneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02023202806714127984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878598761175876556.post-49470071764725289612011-05-05T11:25:33.991-06:002011-05-05T11:25:33.991-06:00Will you be offering machine embroidering names on...Will you be offering machine embroidering names on quilts in the future?<br />I love the way Chesney's name turned out:)Bonnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10245166666392145546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878598761175876556.post-42210426214445260362011-05-05T07:02:04.581-06:002011-05-05T07:02:04.581-06:00I have been doing machine embroidery for about 15 ...I have been doing machine embroidery for about 15 years now.My advice to start out with would be to keep the stabalizers simple,start with a medium weght cutaway for knits and dense designs,a light weight tear away for woven fabric's, and a wash away stabilizer for doing lace.Come and visit my website to see a little of the embroidery work I have done.<br />swanriverquiltdesigns.com<br />pictures are on my blog.I love making quilt labels with my embroidery unit...they look so beautiful and professional<br />Denise<br />P.S...

Get a variety of stabilizers and don't hesitate to use a couple layers of it for dense designs :) Also, my absolute favorite place to get designs is http://emblibrary.com - they have the best prices and best designs and an awesome website that is easy to negotiate. Everybody that i know that embroiders also loves Embroidery Library :)Cascade Quiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05341289311392432737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878598761175876556.post-52250528477988082262011-05-04T16:51:45.488-06:002011-05-04T16:51:45.488-06:00I love my embroidery module and I have been embroi...I love my embroidery module and I have been embroidering for about three or four years now. I love to do things on towels for family members. I like to use a tear away for the backing to prevent the stitching being compromised with many washings. As opposed to a wash away leaving it to separate and the loopy towel fabric come through the stitches. Therefore distorting the design. Just one of many ideas. Have fun.Tennyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04407146182035353898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878598761175876556.post-61642173094682376882011-05-04T13:39:32.912-06:002011-05-04T13:39:32.912-06:00I have a Brother embroidery machine and I use PEDe...I have a Brother embroidery machine and I use PEDesign software. I also use 505 adhesive spray (I don't hoop what I'm embroidering ever) and OESC stabilizer. I luuuuurve embroitique.com, planetapplique.com for designs. I don't know much about tips or tricks, except always double check your placement and make sure you have things rotated the way you want- saves you a LOT of picking out! hahaLaurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05450995343383809343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878598761175876556.post-82260779779312643472011-05-04T10:54:39.055-06:002011-05-04T10:54:39.055-06:00I'm fairly new at machine embroidery too, but ...I'm fairly new at machine embroidery too, but I think you're off to a great start! Taking a class was very helpful. I think that using the appropriate stabilizer for your various projects was the most useful information for me. I'm still learning and I was furiously scribbling notes during class. When I first began, my entire family was fascinated with the machine while it was embroidering. It was funny to see them all gathered round -especially my husband in his boots and spurs and chaps. Do you know about www.emblibrary.com? Lots of great patterns and good deals to be found! Y'all enjoy your new adventure and share your projects with us!Dirt Road Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04686206587226283057noreply@blogger.com
