Watch for new tips
as they are added to the top of this list. |
- It is always a good idea to disable the jump thread cutter
before you load the designs. Otherwise, some machines will “think”
that the long threads are just jump stitches.
|
-
When ironing a monogram on table or bed linens, lay the monogram
face down on a towel and iron from the back. Use the appropriate
dry temperature setting for the fabric. Next, remove the towel,
turn the fabric over, and iron the surrounding area, avoiding the
monogram.
|
- Remember to use the correct needle for your fabric when you
are embroidering. If you can't remember the last time you
changed your needle, it is probably time to change it again.
|
- If you need to embroider over a piece of
fabric or an item too small to fit in a hoop, the way to embroider
it is to make the placing marks over the item or piece of fabric
first, then hoop the stabilizer. Draw placing marks over the
stabilizer and spray temporary adhesive to the stabilizer. Match
the placing marks and embroider.
