## Mama Sweater Materials:
- Sweatshirt
- Design template print-off
- Applique material
- *We recommend using an interface on the back of your applique fabric if you use a thin material. This reduces fraying.*
- [**Thread**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-threads/)
- [**Scissors**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-scissors/)
- Cutaway [**stabilizer**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-use-machine-embroidery-stabilizer/)
- [**Applique embroidery design file**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-designs/applique/) – we used our [**Mama applique design file**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/product/in-the-hoop-mama-applique-horizontal-10-05w-x-2-58h/) for this sweater
- *You can create your own designs with your **[embroidery software](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-software/digitizing/)**. Check out the [**Design Doodler**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-software/design-doodler/) to start creating your own custom embroidery designs without any digitizing experience!*
## Embroidering Mama Applique Design:
**Step 1:** Print out and cut your design template. Use the template to ensure your design fits within your hoop and achieves perfect placement on your sweater.
**Step 2:** Create a hole in the center of your “A” with the end of your scissors. This is so you can easily cut out the small shape after your applique fabric is down.
**Step 3:** Lay your paper template over your applique material. Pre-mark your two holes with a marker so you know where the placement should be.
**Step 4:** Cross over your applique fabric where you marked where your hole should go. Cut a small hole in the fabric. Do this to both marker spots.
*Put an “up” arrow so you know which way your fabric should face when you place it on your sweater.*
**Step 5:** Place your template on your sweatshirt in the proper position. You can determine this by pinning your template to your sweater and trying it on. Adjust the placement if needed.
*Watch the video above to learn how to gauge and preset your hoop for the best results.*
**Step 6:** Hoop your stabilizer and sweatshirt.
*Tip: Tape the stabilizer to your bottom hoop to prevent the stabilizer from moving when you try to hoop. Put your bottom hoop through the bottom waist of the sweatshirt.*
**Step 7:** Load your mama applique embroidery file into your embroidery machine & place your hoop in your machine.
*To avoid stitching on unwanted parts of the sweater, keep your sweater material away from the needle. You can use clips to hold loose fabric securely.*
**Step 8:** Embroider your design. You will start with a placement stitch.
**Step 9:** Lay your applique fabric over the placement stitch. Use painter’s tape to avoid movement.
*Cut small holes in the center of your “A”s on your fabric for applique. Make sure they are in the right spot for your lettering.*
**Step 10:** After you have finished stitching, take your hoop off your machine with extreme caution. Cut the extra applique fabric from your design. Carefully remove the middle of your “A” lettering. (Good thing you pre-cut your holes ? )
**Step 11:** Place your hoop back on your machine. Stitch the rest of the design.
**Step 12:** Remove your hoop from your machine and remove your sweater from the hoop.
**Step 13:** Use your scissors to trim a few loose threads and remove the stabilizer from the inside of the sweatshirt.
Congratulations! You’ve just completed your very own embroidered Mama sweatshirt using our mama applique design. This personalized piece is more than just a wardrobe staple—it’s a unique expression of your creativity! Don’t forget you can change your applique fabric and thread color to make customized looks.

**Step 1:** Insert your artwork into your Doodler design space
**Step 2:** Let’s use pathing to cover all these lines to have fewer trims. As shown, you will digitize around the outside first, then the straight lines. Use the running stitch and the straight line tool for the inside lines first, following the arrows shown.
**Step 3:** Now digitize around the outside and inside pentagram—use a satin (steil) stitch at 3 mm with the straight-line tool.
**Step 4:** Create a loose tatami fill to secure the sparkly mylar! Digitize a closed-filled object around the outside of the pentagram.
**Step 5:** Change the tatami fill to a spacing of 3 mm, change the “Traveling Route” to “Edge,” and “Remove Underlay.”
**Step 6:** Move the filled pentagram to the first position in your sequence (so it stitches first).
You’ve just created your very own origami star design!
Using the materials listed above, start stitching your design.
## Origami Star Tutorial – Embroidering
**Step 1**: Hoop your stabilizer.
**Step 2:** Using a very light mist of temporary embroidery spray, secure a piece of mylar in your hoop (to avoid making your hoops sticky, cover the sides of your hoop with a paper towel).
**Step 3:** Turn the hoop over and secure another piece of mylar. You can use a contrasting color. If necessary, secure more firmly with tape.
**Step 4:** Place your hoop in your machine and start stitching.
**Step 5:** Remove the hoop from the machine and pop out the stars. If necessary, use scissors to detach them.
**Step 6:** Trim the fuzzies from the edges of the star with scissors or use a flame.
You’re finished! It’s time to fold up your star.
You’ll need to understand a “mountain” fold, which looks like this!
Start by folding “mountains” on the “right” side of the star. The mountains will be the points of the star.
Strengthen the folds by sharply creasing.
Folding back and forth will strengthen the crease.
Flip the star over and make more mountains! These will be on the flat sides.
Flip it over, and you have a fabulous 3D sparkly star!
What should you do with your new sparkly project?
These are great for the upcoming Christmas holiday. They can be used as ornaments on your Christmas table, made into several to decorate your Christmas tree, or used on special occasions!
Want to switch up the look of them? Here are some variations you can try:
- Using A light patterned fabric on one side
- Try a fun fill-in-your-pentagram
- Use textured paper
Try this tutorial, and let us know what you think! We’d love to see your finished product or answer any of your Doodler questions in our Design Doodler Facebook group.

### [25 Embroidery Legacy Digitizing Software Features that Make it Unique](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-digitizing-software-features-that-set-us-apart/)
**Published:** September 11, 2026
**Author:** John Deer
**Content:**
If you’ve used embroidery digitizing software before, you probably already know the basic tools:
- runs
- satins
- fills
- editing points
- stitch directions
- and sequence controls.
Where software can make a difference is in how quickly you can get from artwork to a design that’s ready to stitch.
That’s what I want to focus on here.
Embroidery Legacy Digitizing Software speeds up repetitive tasks without taking control away from you. Some help you prepare artwork. Others improve pathing, editing, creative fills, or fabric-specific settings.
Here are 25 features worth knowing.
**Want to understand the theory behind the tools as well?** Start with our [**Free Embroidery Digitizing 101** ](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-classes/digitizing-education/free-101-course/)**[Course](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-classes/digitizing-education/free-101-course/).** Learning what underlay, density, stitch direction, pathing, and compensation actually do will help you make much better decisions no matter what software you’re using.
Want to see these features in action?
In this video, I will walk you through all 25 unique Embroidery Legacy Software features. Show you how they work and when to use them inside a real digitizing workflow. You’ll learn how the tools can help with artwork preparation, editing, pathing, stitch effects, and more.
## ****Start With Better Artwork and a Cleaner Workspace****
A good digitized design begins before you place your first stitch. Setting up your artwork correctly from the start can save you a lot of time later.
### 1. **Import and Prepare Your Artwork**
You can import artwork, resize it, rotate it, adjust its opacity, and position it before you begin digitizing.
The software supports both raster artwork and vector artwork such as SVG files.
Why does that matter?
Your artwork is your road map. If its size, angle, or placement is wrong when you begin, you’re building the embroidery from the wrong starting point.
New to digitizing? Our guide to [**preparing artwork for embroidery digitizing**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-digitizing-artwork/) explains how to get your artwork ready before you start.
### 2. **Streamlined Navigation**
When you’re working on a detailed design, zooming and panning make it easier to move around the screen.
Embroidery Legacy Digitizing Software provides several ways to navigate: - mouse-wheel zoom
- preset zoom levels
- panning
- and Auto Pan
The goal is simple: get to the part of the design you need without interrupting your digitizing rhythm.
### 3. **An Uncluttered Workspace**
Digitizing is visual. You need to see the design you’re creating.
Open the panels when you need them, hide them when you don’t, and move or resize them to give your design more working space.
That’s especially useful when you’re editing small details or following artwork closely.
### 4. **The Widget Tool**
The Widget brings common digitizing tools into one location.
You can access artwork, run, satin, and fill tools along with the properties that apply to them. You also have different drawing methods, including traditional input, Fast Draw, and Free Draw.
That means less time hunting through menus and more time working on the actual design.
### 5. **Artwork Tool and Convert Bar**
One of my favorite workflow ideas is separating **drawing the shape** from **deciding what stitch it should become**.
You can create an object first as artwork and then convert it into a run, satin, fill, Auto Satin, or another available stitch type.
That gives you room to change your mind without redrawing the whole object.
## **Edit Without Starting Over**
Digitizing isn’t a straight line from point A to point B. As you digitize, you may need to stop, review your work, and make a few changes along the way.
Good editing tools make those corrections much less painful.
### 6. **Snap to Anchor**
Have you ever ended an object before you meant to?
Snap to Anchor lets you go back to the previous point and keep working without starting over.
Small mistake. Small correction.
That’s how it should be.
### 7. **Corner Manipulation**
Corners can behave differently depending on their shape and stitch direction.
The software allows you to change corner styles
- Sharp
- Beveled
- and rounded treatments
And then fine-tune how individual corners are generated.
This is more than an artwork decision. In embroidery, stitch direction and object shape affect how stitches physically form.
### 8. **Rounded Corner Editing**
You can also select a corner and adjust its radius directly.
Select multiple corners at once to round them evenly across the shape.
### 9. **SVG Import and Conversion**
SVG files are especially useful because they use vector shapes that you can easily edit.
You can import an SVG, adjust the pieces, and convert them into embroidery objects without tracing everything by hand.
That doesn’t mean every SVG is automatically a finished embroidery design. You still need to decide what stitch types, directions, sequence, and settings make sense.
But it can remove a lot of unnecessary redrawing.
### 10. **Auto Satin**
Auto Satin can convert suitable artwork into satin stitches automatically.
The important part is what happens next: you can still edit the result.
After conversion, you can refine the inclination points, stitch direction, split lines, object shape, and other properties.
That’s an important distinction with automation. An automatic result can give you a faster starting point without taking away your ability to correct it.
### 11. **Split Line Editing**
Split lines help control how a more complicated satin object divides and changes direction.
You can reposition those lines to alter both how the satin sews and how it looks.
This is where digitizing stops being just tracing artwork. You’re controlling the flow of the thread.
### 12. **Advanced Object Editing**
Converted embroidery objects remain editable.
You can adjust anchor points, inclination points, object outlines, stitch directions, and start or stop positions.
So if an automatic conversion gets you 90% of the way there, you don’t have to accept the last 10%. You can go in and make the embroidery behave the way you want.
## **Make Appliqué, Sequencing, and Pathing More Efficient**
Some of the biggest time savings in digitizing happen when you stop looking at each object individually and start thinking about how the entire design will run on the machine.
That’s called pathing.
Good pathing plans how the needle travels through a design so you aren’t adding unnecessary jumps, trims, starts, and stops.
### 13. **Appliqué Tool**
The Appliqué Tool creates the main steps for an appliqué, including placement, tackdown, and finishing stitches.
Properties can then be edited when needed.
This turns a process that normally requires several separate objects into a much quicker starting workflow.
### 14. **Design Notes**
You can store notes with the native design file.
Design Notes let you save instructions, colors, fabric details, and other helpful information with the file.
The bigger your design library becomes, the more valuable good notes can be.
### 15. **Arrange and Color Sort**
A design made from many separate objects can quickly produce more color changes than necessary.
Arrange tools let you reorganize objects, and Color Sort can bring matching colors together when the design allows it.
The goal isn’t simply to make the sequence look tidy on screen. It also helps the embroidery run more logically.
### 16. **Smart Join**
Smart Join looks for efficient connection points between nearby objects.
When appropriate, it can adjust start and stop positions to help reduce unnecessary jumps, trims, tie-ins, and tie-outs.
Why should you care about a few extra trims?
Because production efficiency is part of good digitizing. Every unnecessary stop interrupts the machine’s flow.
You can learn more about the theory behind this in our guide to [**embroidery digitizing pathing.**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/pathing-design-embroidery-digitizing/)
### 17. **Digitize Before and After**
Forgetting an object doesn’t mean you should have to rebuild the entire sewing order.
Use Digitize Before or Digitize After to place a new object in the right spot in the design sequence.
Anyone who has noticed one missing piece after digitizing twenty other objects can appreciate this one.
### 18. **Auto-Branch**
Sometimes several separate objects create a series of jumps and trims between them.
Auto-Branch can connect appropriate objects into a more efficient sewing path.
Automation can help, but the machine still has to move through every part of the design you create.
A good digitizer thinks about that route instead of treating every shape like an isolated piece of artwork.
## **Create More Than Standard Fills**
Once the basic construction is right, you can start having some fun with the stitches themselves.
Embroidery is not ink. The thread has direction, texture, shine, and physical movement, which means [**fill stitch patterns**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/the-ultimate-machine-embroidery-fill-stitch-guide/ "fill stitch patterns") can become part of the artwork.
### 19. **Fill, Motif, and Fancy Fills**
Fill objects can use standard fill patterns, motifs, and Fancy Fills.
You can also adjust properties such as density and stitch length.
The useful part here isn’t simply having a large library of patterns. Previewing different stitch treatments lets you decide which one best supports the design.
### 20. **Gradient and Blend Fills**
[**Gradient fills**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-digitizing-color-blending/ "Gradient fills") let you vary stitch density across an object.
You can control how the gradient increases or decreases and can create two-color blend effects.
This helps you create shading and depth instead of using one flat fill of stitches.
### 21. **Wave Fills**
A Wave Fill allows stitches to follow a custom direction or curve instead of a standard straight fill angle.
You can create standard waves, gradient waves, and two-color wave blends.
The stitch direction itself becomes part of the visual effect.
### 22. **Jagged Edge**
Jagged Edge creates irregular stitch edges that can help simulate textures such as fur.
Add the effect to one or both sides of the object, then fine-tune the uneven edges as needed.
That’s a perfect example of where software should save you time on repetitive work.
## **Add Precision and Adapt the Design to Its Final Use**
The last few tools solve three different problems:
- precise object placement
- using embroidery artwork in other production methods
- and changing stitch properties for different fabrics.
### 23. **Snap-To Tools**
Several snapping options help you position points more precisely.
**Snap to Grid** lets objects follow chosen grid measurements.
**Snap to Guidelines** helps align artwork to reference lines.
**Snap to Objects** lets new points connect directly to existing objects.
These tools are helpful when working with small lettering, logos, or shapes that need precise alignment.
### 24. **High-Quality PNG Export**
Embroidery Legacy Digitizing Software can export embroidery artwork as a high-resolution PNG at 300 or 600 DPI.
Use the 3D embroidery view to create embroidery-style graphics for DTF or DTG printing.
This lets you use the look of embroidery without sewing a high-stitch-count design onto every item.
### 25. **Fabric Recipes**
Embroidery Fabric Recipes apply groups of settings intended for different fabric situations.
Depending on the recipe, properties such as underlay, density, pull compensation, and other stitch settings can change.
You can also change recipes partway through a design. An object stitched directly on fabric may need different settings than one stitched over existing embroidery.
But there’s an important lesson here:
**A fabric recipe doesn’t replace digitizing theory.**
Think of it like a cooking recipe. A recipe gives you a good starting point, but knowing how the ingredients work helps you make changes when needed.
The same is true with embroidery.
## **Automation Works Best When You Understand What It’s Automating**
Tools like: - Auto Satin
- Smart Join
- Auto-Branch
- artwork conversion
- and Fabric Recipes
Can save you time on repetitive tasks.
But embroidery software doesn’t change the physical rules of embroidery. - Thread still pulls on fabric
- Density still affects how much thread you’re putting into an area
- Underlay still builds a foundation
- Stitch direction still influences the finished appearance
- Pathing still controls how your embroidery machine travels through the design
That’s why learning digitizing theory matters.
The software should help you apply those principles more efficiently—not keep you from learning them.
And no matter how good the preview looks, remember one of the most important rules I teach:
**The proof is in the stitching.**
Stitch your design, look at what actually happened on the fabric, and make your final adjustments from there.
If you’d like to build that foundation, start with our **[Free Embroidery Digitizing 101 Course](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-classes/digitizing-education/free-101-course/).** It teaches the basics of stitch types, underlay, density, registration, and pathing to help you make better digitizing decisions.

## **FAQ: Embroidery Digitizing Software Features**
### **Can Embroidery Legacy Digitizing Software import SVG files?**
Yes. SVG artwork can be imported as editable vector artwork. Individual shapes can be separated or combined and then converted into embroidery objects, which can reduce the amount of manual redrawing required.
You still need to make digitizing decisions such as stitch type, direction, sequence, pathing, and appropriate settings.
### **Does Auto Satin mean I don’t have to edit satin stitches?**
No. Auto Satin can create an initial satin object from suitable artwork, but the resulting embroidery remains editable.
You can adjust the stitch direction, shape, split lines, and other settings to improve the result.
### **What is the difference between Smart Join and Auto-Branch?**
Both features can help improve the way objects connect, but they solve slightly different workflow problems.
Smart Join helps adjust start and stop locations so appropriate objects connect efficiently. Auto-Branch connects separate objects into a smoother sewing path with fewer jumps and trims.
Neither replaces understanding good pathing.
### **What are Fabric Recipes in embroidery digitizing software?**
Fabric Recipes are groups of embroidery properties intended for different fabric conditions. They can adjust density, underlay, and pull compensation to better match the fabric.
They are a workflow aid, not a guarantee that every design will stitch perfectly without testing.
### **Can embroidery designs be exported as PNG images?**
Yes. Embroidery Legacy Digitizing Software currently supports high-resolution PNG export at 300 and 600 DPI.
The exported graphic can use the software’s 3D embroidery rendering for applications such as DTF or DTG production.
### **Do automatic digitizing tools replace learning embroidery theory?**
No.
Automatic tools can save time, but good embroidery still depends on fabric, thread, tension, density, underlay, stitch direction, compensation, and pathing.
The final design should always be judged by how it actually stitches.

### [Embroidery Machine Tension: A Guide to Better Stitch Quality](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-machine-tension/)
**Published:** July 24, 2026
**Author:** Embroidery Legacy
**Content:**
Beautiful embroidery starts with more than just the right design or thread. One of the biggest factors affecting your results is embroidery machine tension. When your tension is balanced, your stitches look clean, your lettering stays sharp, and your designs sew out the way they were intended.
Many embroiderers think embroidery machine tension is simply a machine setting, but it’s really the balance between your upper thread and bobbin thread. When those threads lock together in the center of the fabric, they create smooth, even stitches that look great on both the front and back of your embroidery.
The good news is that you don’t need to memorize the perfect tension setting. Once you understand what balanced stitches look like and what influences them, you’ll know how to evaluate your embroidery and make small adjustments with confidence.
Machine embroidery is the process of using a specialized embroidery machine to stitch designs, lettering, and patterns onto fabric. If you’re new to machine embroidery, [understanding the basics](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-for-beginners/) will make it much easier to see how settings like embroidery machine tension affect stitch quality and your overall results.
## **What Is Embroidery Machine Tension?**

Think of your upper thread and bobbin thread as a team. When they work together evenly, your [embroidery design](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-designs/) stitches exactly as it was intended. If one thread pulls harder than the other, the stitch becomes unbalanced, affecting the appearance, quality, and durability of your embroidery.
The key thing to remember is that you’re not trying to achieve a specific tension number on your machine. You’re trying to achieve balanced stitches. That’s why experienced embroiderers evaluate the stitches themselves rather than relying only on the machine’s tension settings.
You can start by learning what a balanced stitch looks like. Once you can recognize it, adjusting your embroidery machine thread tension becomes much easier. For a visual demonstration, watch the video below before making any adjustments.
## **Why Embroidery Machine Tension Matters**
Embroidery machine tension does more than keep your stitches balanced – it affects the overall quality, appearance, and durability of every design you create. When the upper thread and bobbin thread work together correctly, your embroidery machine can produce clean, consistent stitches that match the original design. Balanced tension isn’t controlled by your tension dial alone. Thread quality, embroidery machine bobbin tension, needle selection, stabilizer, hooping, fabric, and machine maintenance all work together to produce the best results.
Balanced tension helps create: - Smooth satin stitches with crisp edges
- Clean, easy-to-read lettering
- Better stitch coverage and definition
- Stronger, longer-lasting embroidery
- Fewer thread breaks and less wasted thread
Even the best embroidery design can produce poor results if the tension isn’t balanced. Before adjusting your machine, it’s important to understand that tension works alongside your thread, needle, stabilizer, and fabric. When all of these elements work together, you’ll achieve more professional-looking embroidery with fewer adjustments.
Whether you’re embroidering a simple monogram or a detailed design with thousands of stitches, balanced embroidery machine tension gives every project the best chance of success.
## **What Does Good Embroidery Machine Tension Look Like?**
Instead of focusing on the tension number displayed on your machine, learn to recognize what a balanced stitch looks like. Experienced embroiderers judge tension by examining the stitches – not the settings.
A properly balanced stitch follows what’s commonly known as the 3:1 tension rule. When you turn your embroidery over, you should see:
- Top thread along one edge
- Bobbin thread through the center
- Top thread along the opposite edge
Each section should appear roughly equal in width. This tells you the upper thread and bobbin thread are locking together inside the fabric, where they should.
If the bobbin thread becomes too visible or the top thread wraps too far around the back, the tension is no longer balanced. Learning to recognize these signs makes troubleshooting much easier and helps you make small, accurate adjustments instead of guessing.
## **What Affects Your Embroidery Machine Tension?**
Embroidery machine tension doesn’t depend on just one setting. Several factors work together to determine how your stitches form, which is why the same tension setting won’t always produce the same results. These same principles apply whether you’re using a single-needle or multi-needle embroidery machine.
### **Thread Quality**
Not all embroidery threads behave the same way. Different brands, thread weights, and fiber types can affect how smoothly the thread flows through your machine. Using high-quality [machine embroidery thread](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-threads/) helps produce more consistent stitch quality and reduces unnecessary thread breaks.
### **Stabilizer and Fabric**
Your stabilizer supports the fabric while the machine stitches. If the stabilizer isn’t suited to the fabric or design, the stitches may pull, shift, or sink into the fabric, making the tension appear incorrect. [Choosing the right stabilizer](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-use-machine-embroidery-stabilizer/) is just as important as adjusting the tension itself.
### **Needle**
A worn or incorrect needle can affect stitch formation, making tension problems appear worse than they really are. Using the correct [machine embroidery needle](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-use-machine-embroidery-needles/) helps create cleaner stitches and more consistent embroidery results.
### **Fabric and Hooping**
Every fabric responds differently to embroidery. Lightweight cotton, denim, fleece, and knit fabrics all require proper support.
Correct [embroidery hooping ](https://embroiderylegacy.com/mighty-hoops/)is equally important. A securely hooped project allows the machine to produce even stitches and accurate tension.
### **Machine Maintenance**
Lint and thread build-up can affect stitch quality over time. [Cleaning your embroidery machine](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-do-embroidery-machine-maintenance/) regularly helps maintain consistent performance and reduces unnecessary tension issues. While you’re checking your machine, make sure your embroidery machine bobbin tension is correctly set before making significant changes to the upper thread tension.
### **Single-Needle vs. Multi-Needle Machines**
The principles of balanced tension are the same for every embroidery machine, but the way you check tension differs.
On a single-needle embroidery machine, you’ll usually adjust the upper thread tension first.
On a multi-needle embroidery machine, the upper thread and bobbin tension work together to produce balanced stitches across all needles.
Understanding these factors helps you troubleshoot more effectively and prevents you from adjusting the tension when another part of the embroidery setup needs attention.
## **How to Test Embroidery Machine Tension**
Testing your embroidery machine tension before starting a project only takes a few minutes and can save you time, thread, and fabric.
### **Gather Your Materials**
Use the same fabric, stabilizer, thread, bobbin thread, and needle that you’ll use for your project. Changing any of these can affect your embroidery machine tension.
### **Stitch a Simple Test Design**
Stitch a simple satin column or the letter “I.” A small test design makes it easier to evaluate your stitches.
### **Check the Back of the Embroidery**
Turn your sample over and compare it to the 3:1 tension rule. The bobbin thread should appear in the center, with the upper thread evenly balanced on both sides.
If the upper thread wraps too far around the back, your embroidery machine thread tension may need adjusting. If the bobbin thread shows on the front of the design, check your upper thread before adjusting your embroidery machine bobbin tension.
Some embroiderers use an embroidery tension gauge, but for most home embroiderers, learning to recognize a balanced stitch is usually all that’s needed.
## **How to Improve Embroidery Machine Tension**
Every embroidery machine is different, so avoid chasing a specific tension number. Instead, let the stitches guide your decisions.
If your tension is too tight, you may notice bobbin thread appearing on the front of your embroidery or frequent thread breaks.
If your embroidery machine thread tension is too loose, the top thread may wrap too far around the back of the stitching, creating loose or uneven stitches.
Before making significant adjustments, check that your embroidery machine bobbin tension, threading, needle, and stabilizer are all correct.
Always make small adjustments and test again before changing anything else. Patience produces far better results than guesswork.
## **Embroidery Machine Thread Tension**
Most embroidery tension adjustments are made to the upper thread, not the bobbin. If your stitches look unbalanced, adjust the upper thread in small increments and test after each change. Small adjustments are usually all that’s needed to restore clean and balanced stitches.
## **Embroidery Machine Bobbin Tension**
Your embroidery machine bobbin tension provides a consistent foundation for balanced stitches and rarely needs adjusting. If tension problems occur; first check your threading, needle, thread, and stabilizer before making changes to the bobbin case.
## **Common Embroidery Machine Tension Problems**
Most tension issues are easy to correct once you understand what the stitches are telling you.
Auto-Digitizing VS Professional Digitizing Problem Possible Cause Solution Bobbin thread showing on top Upper tension too tight Reduce the upper tension slightly and test again. Loose stitches Upper tension too loose Increase the upper tension gradually. Thread breaks Tight tension or worn needle Replace the needle, rethread the machine, and test again. Uneven satin stitches Poor hooping or incorrect stabilizer Review your setup before adjusting the tension further. If you’re still experiencing problems after making small adjustments, don’t assume the tension is at fault. Check your thread quality, stabilizer, needle, hooping, and machine maintenance before making further changes.
## **Good Habits That Improve Embroidery Results**
Good embroidery doesn’t happen by accident. Developing a few simple habits will help you achieve more consistent stitch quality over time.
- Test your tension before starting an important project.
- Replace your embroidery needle regularly.
- Use quality embroidery thread.
- Match the stabilizer to your fabric.
- Keep small test samples for future reference.
- Clean your embroidery machine to prevent lint build-up.
- Ensure your designs have quality [embroidery digitizing](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-what-is-embroidery-digitizing/).
- If you’re using a [multi-needle embroidery machine](https://embroiderylegacy.com/what-is-the-best-embroidery-machine-for-a-home-business/), include each needle in your regular tension checks to maintain consistent stitch quality.
These habits take only a few minutes, but they can save hours of troubleshooting and help you produce cleaner embroidery with every project.
## **Frequently Asked Questions**
### **What is embroidery machine tension?**
Embroidery machine tension is the balance between the upper thread and bobbin thread. When both threads lock together in the center of the fabric, they produce clean, balanced stitches.
### **How do you adjust embroidery machine tension?**
Adjust the upper thread tension in small increments, stitch a test design, and examine the back of the embroidery until you achieve a balanced 3:1 tension ratio.
### **How do you test embroidery machine tension?**
Stitch a simple test design using the same fabric, stabilizer, thread, and needle you’ll use for your project. Then examine the back of the stitching to check whether the threads are balanced.
### **Why is my bobbin thread showing on top of my embroidery?**
This usually indicates that the upper thread tension is too tight or the machine isn’t threaded correctly. Check your threading first, then make small tension adjustments and test again.
### **What is the correct embroidery machine tension setting?**
There isn’t one universal setting. The correct tension is the setting that produces balanced stitches for your specific fabric, thread, stabilizer, and embroidery design.
### **Do I need an embroidery tension gauge?**
Most home embroiderers don’t need an embroidery tension gauge. Learning to recognize a balanced stitch using the 3:1 tension ratio is usually all that’s needed. Tension gauges are more commonly used in commercial embroidery environments.
## **Final Thoughts**
Embroidery machine tension isn’t about finding the perfect machine setting – it’s about understanding how balanced stitches are formed.
Once you know what to look for, you’ll spend less time troubleshooting and more time enjoying successful embroidery projects. Test before you stitch, make one adjustment at a time, and let the stitches guide your decisions.
In embroidery, small changes can make a big difference. The more you practice evaluating your embroidery machine tension, the more confident you’ll become, and that confidence will show in every design you create.

## Embroidery Digitizing Services: How to Find Your Best Fit
Thinking about hiring an embroidery digitizing service and more of a visual learner? In the video below, John breaks down exactly what makes a clean, professional stitch file. From stitch behavior, underlay, and pathing, to fabric compatibility and file quality.
Learn how to spot red flags, avoid costly mistakes, and choose the best embroidery digitizing service for your needs. This guide is ideal for hobbyists, small business owners, and anyone serious about embroidery quality.
## **What Is Embroidery Digitizing?**
Embroidery digitizing is the process of converting artwork into a machine-ready file using specialized embroidery digitizing software.
A digitizer decides:
- Stitch types
- Angles
- Underlay
- Density
- And pathing
So the design stitches smoothly on the chosen fabric. Quality digitizing prevents issues like puckering, distortion, gaps, or those bulky “bulletproof” stitchouts.
And here’s the truth:
Good digitizing isn’t automatic. It takes training, experience, and an understanding of how stitches behave on real fabric. Good digitizing helps your machine run smoothly and produce clean, professional results. Poor digitizing, on the other hand, makes every part of your project harder than it needs to be.

## **Key Considerations When Looking for an Embroidery Digitizing Service.**
Proper embroidery digitizing requires careful planning and execution. The truth is, most embroidery problems don’t start at the machine; they begin with the digitized file.
Many embroiderers end up blaming themselves or their machines when the real issue is hiding in the embroidery files.
Digitizers understand how stitches behave on different materials. They consider all the elements of a good embroidery file before they begin. Creating embroidery digitized designs that stitch right the first time.
Below are key areas where poor digitizing causes the biggest issues.
### **Common Issues Caused by Poor Digitizing**
**Puckering:** Poor compensation or an incorrect underlay can cause puckering, making your embroidery look uneven and unstable. For more information on [**how to Stop Puckering,**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-puckering-prevention-in-machine-embroidery/) check out our complete puckering guide.
**Unnecessary trim cuts or jumps:** Too many trims or jumps slow production, waste stitch time, and create extra knots on the back of your design.
**Weak or missing underlay:** Underlay is the foundation of any embroidery design. Without it, your outlines can shift, fill stitches may pull apart, and details will lose definition. To learn more about[ **embroidery underlay stitches**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-digitizing-underlay-digitizing/), check out our complete underlay guide.
**Incorrect or inconsistent stitch direction:** Stitch direction affects texture, shading, and how the thread catches the light. Poorly planned stitch angles make designs lose their smoothness and visual appeal.
**No push or pull compensation:** Without proper push-and-pull compensation, your design can distort, shift, or stretch as it stitches. Want to understand how to prevent distortion in your designs? Check out our complete guide on[ ](https://embroiderylegacy.com/push-pull-compensation-embroidery-digitizing/)**[Push and Pull Compensation](https://embroiderylegacy.com/push-pull-compensation-embroidery-digitizing/)** for clear examples and practical tips.
**Bloated stitch counts (“bulletproof embroidery”):** Layering too many stitches on top of one another creates dense and “bulletproof embroidery designs.”
If you don’t know what causes these problems, you’ll often blame your stabilizer, thread, or even your machine.

## **What to Look For in an Embroidery Digitizing Service**
Not all embroidery digitizing services are created equal. Some have years of production experience. Others rely on shortcuts or auto-digitizing that can ruin your stitchout before you even begin. Here’s what to look for when choosing a digitizer you can trust.
### **Experience, Credentials & Portfolio**
A skilled digitizer understands how embroidery behaves on real fabric. Not just on screen.
When choosing a digitizer, always consider their experience, training, and portfolio. Someone who produces clean, professional files will gladly show examples of their work. Ask questions like:
- How long have you been a production digitizer?
- What types of projects do you specialize in?
- Can they provide examples of designs stitched on different fabrics?
Keep in mind: real expertise comes from hands-on production, not just software knowledge. A digitizer who has operated embroidery machines understands how their decisions affect your results. Digitizers need to see how stitches behave on real fabric before they can create quality embroidery designs.
### **Consistent Results Across Designs**
A digitizer should be able to produce reliable results, not just one lucky stitchout. When reviewing someone’s portfolio, I look for the same quality digitizing every time.
Signs like:
- Smooth stitch direction
- Controlled density
- Clean borders
- Even fill patterns
- Accurate small details
- Stable underlay
- Push-and-Pull Compensation
If their portfolio looks random, that’s a sign they don’t fully understand embroidery theory.
### **Test Stitchouts & Sample Files**
The best digitizers test their work before sending it to you. When a digitizer takes the time to test their files, they’re checking for things like:
- Density, underlay, or pathing adjustment.
- Verify clean edges and consistent pull.
- Ensuring small details are clear and legible.
If they don’t test their files, it will cost you time, thread, stabilizer, and potentially your reputation.
### **Access to Edits or Revisions**
Even great files sometimes need minor adjustments. That’s why a reliable digitizing service should have a clear editing policy. Before you hire someone, make sure you understand things like:
- How to request a revision.
- Estimated time of completion.
- Types of edits included?
- Are there additional charges for adjustments?
Waiting on basic edits can stall your production and reduce efficiency. Quick, accurate edits are a sign of a well-run digitizing service.
### **Pricing Transparency & Supported File Formats**
Transparent pricing prevents surprises and ensures you get what you need.
A good digitizing service will provide things like:
- A clear list of standard pricing upfront.
- An explanation of what affects cost (design complexity, size, stitch count).
- Provide the file formats your machine uses
- Optimized native files for the best stitch quality.
If pricing seems overly complicated, that’s a sign the digitizer is skipping steps or relying on automation.
### **Design Complexity Capabilities (Small Text, Detail, etc.)**
In my experience, complex artwork is what truly separates the best digitizing services from amateurs.
You should ask to see examples of:
- Small lettering
- Fine outline work
- Designs on textured fabrics
- Shading or gradient effects
- Logos with tight spacing
If they struggle to digitize these elements, they may not be the right fit for professional resu
## **Red Flags When Choosing the Best Embroidery Digitizing Service**
Not all digitizing services are created equal, and some can cause more harm than good. If you notice any of these warning signs, consider it a red flag:
- Poor communication
- No revisions offered
- Lack of pricing transparency
- Unrealistic turnaround times
- No portfolio or sample stitchouts
A reliable digitizer won’t shy away from questions. They will give you a clear, realistic understanding of what your artwork can—and cannot—become when stitched.
## **Auto Digitizing Embroidery Software vs Professional Embroidery Digitizing**
[Auto-digitizing embroidery software](https://embroiderylegacy.com/auto-embroidery-digitizing-software/) may seem like an easy shortcut, but embroidery isn’t a push-button process. Only a trained digitizer can tailor an embroidery file to ensure your design stitches out the way you expect.
Here’s how the two approaches compare:
Auto-Digitizing VS Professional Digitizing Features Auto-Digitizing Embroidery Software Professional Embroidery Digitizing Software Design quality tailored to the fabric and design ✖ ✅ Intricate, accurate, and detailed small text ✖ ✅ Full editing control of pathing, push/pull compensation, and density ✖ ✅ Best for achieving clean, professional stitchouts ✖ ✅ Ability to handle complex artwork ✖ ✅
Auto-digitizing may work for simple shapes, but for clean results, nothing replaces the knowledge of a trained digitizer.
## **Should You Hire Embroidery Digitizing Services or Learn to Digitize Yourself?**
If you need a one-off design or don’t have time to learn digitizing, hiring a digitizing service is often the easiest choice.
But if you’re any of the following:
- Embroidery enthusiast
- Hobbyist
- Small business owner
Then learning to digitize yourself can be one of the most valuable skills you’ll ever pick up. Modern [embroidery digitizing software](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-software/digitizing/ "embroidery digitizing software") makes learning digitizing easier than ever before. And when you understand the basics, you’ll be able to judge whether a file is high quality quickly.

## **How Much Do Embroidery Digitizing Services Cost?**
Digitizing prices can vary depending on the size, detail, and complexity of your design. A simple logo will cost less than a detailed full-back design. Every adjustment a digitizer makes — density, pathing, underlay — takes time, skill, and affects the overall price.
Understanding how pricing works helps you quote jobs accurately and protect your profit margins.
## **Common Factors That Affect Digitizing Cost**
- Size of the design
- Level of detail
- Stitch count
- Number of thread color changes
- Fabric type the design is intended for
- Required turnaround time
Digitizing involves far more than simply generating stitches. When done well, it ensures your embroidery runs smoothly and looks clean the first time.
## **Frequently Asked Questions**
### **What is the average turnaround time for embroidery digitizing?**
Most professional embroidery digitizing services complete standard designs within 2 to 24 hours. Simple designs like left chest logos are often delivered in as little as 2 to 4 hours, while more complex artwork, such as jacket backs or detailed artwork, may take longer. Rush services are available from most providers for an additional fee if you need a file quickly for production.
### **What file formats do embroidery digitizing services provide?**
Most services deliver files in all major machine formats, including DST, PES, JEF, EXP, XXX, HUS, and VP3. Always confirm your machine brand and model before ordering so the digitizer can provide the correct format. Some machines perform best with their native file format rather than a converted one, so it’s worth asking your digitizer what they recommend for your specific setup.
### **Can I request revisions if my design doesn’t stitch correctly?**
Yes, reputable digitizing services include free revisions as part of their standard offering. Before hiring anyone, confirm their revision policy. Specifically, how many edits are included, what counts as a minor versus a major change, and what the turnaround time is for revisions. A service that charges for basic corrections or is slow to respond to edit requests is a red flag worth taking seriously.
### **How do I send my artwork to a digitizing service?**
Most services accept artwork through an online upload portal, email, or order form on their website. For best results, send the highest resolution version of your artwork available. Vector files such as AI, EPS, or PDF are ideal. JPG or PNG files are also accepted by most services, though higher resolution gives the digitizer more to work with. Avoid sending small or heavily compressed images, as these can limit the accuracy of the final file.
### **Is embroidery digitizing a one-time cost, or do I pay per use?**
Embroidery digitizing is typically a one-time cost per design. Once you receive your file, you own it and can stitch it as many times as you like on any compatible machine. You only pay again if you need a new design created, a significant size change, or a major edit that goes beyond the included revisions. This makes professional digitizing a worthwhile investment for any design you plan to use repeatedly.
### **What artwork formats work best for digitizing?**
Vector files are the gold standard for digitizing. Formats like AI, EPS, CDR, and PDF give the digitizer clean, scalable lines to work from and tend to produce the most accurate results. If you don’t have a vector file, a high-resolution JPG or PNG at 300 DPI or higher is the next best option. Avoid sending logos pulled from websites, as these are typically low resolution and can result in a less accurate stitch file.
### **Can a digitizing service convert a photo into an embroidery design?**
Yes, but with some important caveats. Embroidery is not a photorealistic medium. A skilled digitizer can interpret a photo and create a stylized embroidery design that captures the essence of the image, but fine gradients, subtle shadows, and photographic detail do not translate directly into stitches. The cleaner and simpler the image, the better the result. Highly detailed or busy photos will need to be simplified during the digitizing process, and a good digitizer will advise you on what is and isn’t achievable before they begin.
## **Conclusion: Learn the Basics and Confidently Choose the Best Embroidery Digitizing Service**
Choosing the right embroidery digitizing services can save you hours of frustration and help you produce clean, professional results.

### [How to Digitize a Cap: Complete Embroidery Digitizing Guide](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-digitize-a-cap-complete-embroidery-digitizing-guide/)
**Published:** June 15, 2026
**Author:** John Deer
**Content:**
Cap embroidery is one of the most challenging areas of embroidery digitizing. When done correctly, it can produce some of the most professional-looking results.
Because caps are curved, structured, and limited in space, they require a different approach than flat designs. In this guide, you’ll learn how to digitize a cap step by step, along with the key rules that lead to clean, readable, and high-quality embroidery.
## What is Cap Embroidery Digitizing?
Cap embroidery digitizing is the process of creating embroidery designs that stitch correctly on caps and hats. To achieve clean results, the design must be planned for center-out stitching, proper spacing, and smooth stitch flow across the cap’s surface.
> ***New to Embroidery Digtizing?**
> Cap digitizing is a specialized branch of embroidery digitizing that builds on concepts like stitch types, underlay, pathing, and compensation. If you’ve ever asled yourself [**what is embroidery digitizing**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-what-is-embroidery-digitizing/), our complete beginner’s guide explains the fundamentals and provides the foundation you’ll need before tackling more advanced projects like caps and hats.*

## Why Cap Digitizing is Different From Flat Embroidery
Caps create physical challenges that directly affect how stitches behave during embroidery. Understanding these differences helps prevent distortion, gaps, and uneven stitching.
### Curved Surface of a Cap
Unlike flat fabric, a cap has a curved surface that wraps around the front panels. This curve affects how stitches lie and can cause distortion if not handled properly.
### Why Center-Out Stitching is Critical
Professional cap designs almost always stitch from the center outward. This keeps the design balanced and reduces fabric shifting during stitching.
If a design is stitched left to right or in a random order, lettering and spacing can become distorted as the cap moves in the frame.
### Limited Space and Design Constraints
Caps offer a much smaller embroidery space than flat garments, which limits how much detail you can include in a design.
Small text, thin lines, and intricate details often do not stitch cleanly on caps. Bold shapes and clean lettering usually produce the best results.
## Key Rules for Clean Cap Embroidery Digitizing
To get clean, professional results on caps, follow a few fundamental digitizing rules. These principles help control distortion, improve stitch flow, and ensure your design stitches cleanly.
- **Always digitize from the center out**
- This keeps the design balanced and reduces fabric movement.
- **Work from the bottom up**
- Starting near the brim helps stabilize the design as it is stitched upwards.
- **Keep designs wide and simple**
- Bold shapes and clean lettering work best on caps.
- **Control stitch direction and inclination.**
- Proper stitch angles help maintain smooth curves and clean edges.
- **Reduce trims and jump stitches**
- Efficient pathing improves stitch quality and creates cleaner embroidery.
- **Adjust for [push and pull compensation](https://embroiderylegacy.com/push-pull-compensation-embroidery-digitizing/)**
- Slightly adjusting shapes helps prevent gaps and distortion during stitching.

## How to Digitize for Cap Embroidery Step by Step
Digitizing a cap design required planning, precision, and an understanding of how stitches behave on a curved surface. Follow these steps to create clean, professional embroidery designs for caps.
1. Set Up Your Artwork and Center Guidelines Start by loading your artwork into your software and preparing your workspace.
- Add a vertical center line to mark the middle of the cap
- Reduce the artwork’s opacity so you can clearly see your stitches
- Align your design to the center guideline
This center line helps keep the design balanced as you digitize outwards.
2. Plan Your Stitch Sequence Before Digitizing Before placing any stitches, take a moment to plan your approach.
- Decide the order in which your design will stitch
- Follow a bottom-up, center-out workflow
- Identify areas where trims should occur
[Proper embroidery pathing](https://embroiderylegacy.com/pathing-design-embroidery-digitizing/) improves stitch flow and reduces jump stitches.
 
3. Start Digitizing the Base Element First Begin with the elements closest to where the brim meets the crown of the cap.
- Start near the lowest part of the design
- Build outward from the center
- Focus on creating strong, clean foundational shapes
This creates a stable base and helps reduce distortion as the design builds.
4. Use Satin Stitches for Clean Lettering [Satin stitches](https://embroiderylegacy.com/satin-stitch-embroidery-digitizing/) are ideal for most cap lettering because they create smooth, bold edges.
- Control stitch width and thickness carefully
- Use stitch direction (inclination) to follow the shape of each letter
- Keep edges clean and consistent
When digitizing small lettering, prioritize clean stitching over perfectly matching the original artwork.
5. Adjust Underlay for Small Cap Details [Underlays](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-digitizing-underlay-digitizing/) play a major role in how your design holds its shape.
- Use a center run underlay for small details
- Avoid heavy underlay on small lettering
- Keep the structure light to prevent bulk
For small elements, a single pass of underlay is often enough.
6. Use Run Stitches to Control Travel Paths [Run stitches](https://embroiderylegacy.com/running-stitch-embroidery-digitizing/) help guide the machine between elements without creating visible jumps.
- Use them to connect nearby objects cleanly
- Avoid long visible travel paths
- Minimize unnecessary trims
Efficient pathing improves both stitch quality and production speed.
7. Refine Stitch Direction and Overlaps Once your main shapes are in place, refine how stitches flow across the design.
- Smooth out curves using proper stitch angles
- Slightly exaggerate shapes to compensate for fabric movement
- Maintain a clean baseline, especially in lettering
These adjustments help prevent gaps and uneven edges in the final stitch-out.
8. Run a Redraw to Check Stitch Flow Before exporting your design, preview how it will stitch.
- Use the redraw or simulation feature
- Watch the stitch sequence carefully
- Look for unnecessary trims, jumps, or direction issues
This step helps you catch mistakes before stitching the cap.
9. Test the Design and Make Final Adjustments The final step is always testing.
- Review stitch count and overall efficiency
- Run a test stitch-out on a cap
- Make small adjustments as needed
Even strong designs often need small refinements after testing.
> Once your design is digitized, the final step is testing it on an actual cap. Proper hooping, stabilization, and machine setup all affect the final result.

## Common Cap Embroidery Digitizing Mistakes to Avoid
### Stitching Left to Right Instead of Center Out
Caps should always be stitched from the center outward. Stitching from one side to the other can cause uneven spacing and distortion.
### Using Too Much Detail on Small Designs
Small lettering and intricate details often do not stitch cleanly on caps. Simplifying artwork usually produces better results.
### Poor Stitch Direction Angles
Incorrect stitch angles can make lettering look uneven or distorted. Proper stitch direction helps maintain clean edges and smooth curves.
### Too Many Trims and Jump Stitches
Excessive trims and jump stitches can make a design look messy and increase production time. Use efficient travel paths whenever possible.
### What Embroidery Designs Work Best for Cap Embroidery?
Not every design works well on a cap. The best cap embroidery designs are usually bold, simple, and easy to read.
### Simple Lettering and Bold Shapes
Clean lettering and solid shapes typically stitch better than scripts of highly detailed artwork.
### Cap Logos and Hat Emblems
Logos and emblems-style artwork work well because they fit naturally within the limited embroidery area.
When digitizing logos for caps, simplify small details and widen narrow shapes to improve stitch quality.
## Final Tips for Professional Digitizing Results
Professional-looking cap embroidery comes from careful planning, clean digitizing, and proper testing.
Keep these final tips in mind before running your next design:
- Always test stitch your design before final production
- Use a proper stabilizer for the cap material
- Keep lettering clean and readable
- Prioritize clean stitching over excessive detail
- Review the stitch flow before exporting your file
Small adjustments during digitizing can make a major difference in the final embroidery quality.

## **Frequently Asked Questions for Digitizing on Caps**
### **What is Cap Embroidery Digitizing?**
Cap digitizing is the process of creating embroidery files specifically for caps and hats. Because caps are curved and space-constrained, designs must be digitized differently from those for flat embroidery to ensure clean stitching and proper alignment.
### **How do you digitize a cap without distortion?**
To reduce distortion, digitize from the center outward, use the proper stitch direction, minimize unnecessary trimming, and adjust for push-and-pull compensation. Testing on an actual cap is also important for identifying problem areas.
### **What stitch is best for cap embroidery?**
Satin stitches are commonly used for cap lettering and bold shapes because they create smooth edges and clean coverage. Fill stitches may also be used for larger design areas.
### **What size should a cap design be?**
Most front cap designs are typically 2 to 2.5 inches tall, depending on the cap style and embroidery area. Keeping the design simple and readable is more important than maximizing the size.

## What Are the Benefits of Sewing Applique Embroidery Designs?
> *In short: Appliqué designs are easily customised & take less time to sew out!*
>
> Author Name
>
> [Tweet](/)
Applique designs are rather popular as they allow the embroiderer a great deal of customization within a given project by allowing them to personally select the fabric type and pattern. This is a bonus as, from my own experience, younger children love applique due to the unique feel of different fabric types.
In terms of [**embroidery digitizing**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-what-is-embroidery-digitizing/), creating applique is a great way to reduce the stitch count in a design while still producing beautiful visual effects. Using an applique technique in your [**embroidery digitizing software**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-software/digitizing/) allows you to replace large fill areas with a simple sheet of fabric instead. *This means less run time on your machine without sacrificing the look of a design!*
## How to Stitch an Applique Embroidery Design
This tutorial will teach you the technique of how and when to place and cut the material needed in applique embroidery patterns:
**Step 1.** Pick your applique embroidery design and desired fabric. Hoop your stabilizer and fabric.
> *We are going to demonstrate this technique with “[**So Little So Loved Applique**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/product/embroidery-design-so-little-so-loved-applique/)” design. If you need help hooping, check out our [**full embroidery hooping guide**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-hoop-machine-embroidery-tutorial/).*

**Step 2.** Start sewing the design as you normally would on your embroidery machine. After the machine sews the outline/marking stitch, be sure to stop the machine.
**Step 3.** Place the material over the outline stitch. Make sure the square is big enough to completely cover the stitch. As an option, you can use light [**spray adhesive**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-use-machine-embroidery-adhesive-sprays/) to hold the material down,use various stabilizers available specifically for applique placement, or even just use painters tape.
> *Please note that some applique designs might come with SVG files that can be used on various cutting machines to pre-cut applique shapes automatically. This makes fabric placement fast, easy and perfect!*

**Step 4.** Place the hoop back in the machine & start the tack-down stitch. The tack-down stitch will now sew on top of the applique, securing it to the garment.
**Step 5.** The next step is to completely cut around the tack-down stitch. We recommend using applique scissors. Applique scissors prevent you from cutting through the garment by accident.
> *Our personal favorites for cutting applique are a 6” double edge curve. **[Learn more about embroidery scissors](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-scissors/ "Learn more about embroidery scissors")**, with so many shapes, sizes and types, there is so much know!*
>

> [Tweet](/)
**Step 6.** After you are finished cutting the design out, place your hoop back on the machine & continue stitching. The design will continue to sew, and you are done with the applique portion of the design.
**Step 7.** Once your machine has finished stitching you have completed your applique embroidery design!

### [What is the Best Embroidery Machine? 5 Multi Needle Tips](https://embroiderylegacy.com/what-is-the-best-embroidery-machine-for-a-home-business/)
**Published:** July 20, 2026
**Author:** John Deer
**Content:**
Many people starting an embroidery business or upgrading their machine often ask, “Which embroidery machine is the best?”
> *The answer slightly differs from the person. To give you an accurate answer, you first need to understand some basics and qualify your intentions.*
>
> Author Name
>
> [Tweet](/)
When choosing which embroidery machine is right for you, you must first consider several factors: - The advantages of a multi-needle over a single needle machine.
- Do you plan on using the machine for a home business or hobby?
- What do you plan on embroidering?
- What is the difference between home & commercial brands?
- Our recommended embroidery machine.
Before deciding which embroidery machine to buy, think about what you want to create today and where you want your embroidery journey to take you in the future. Choosing a machine that matches both your current needs and future goals will help you get the most value from your investment.
## **What Is an Embroidery Machine?**
An embroidery machine is a specialized machine that stitches digital embroidery design files onto fabric. Unlike a standard sewing machine, it can create logos, monograms, lettering, and decorative embroidery automatically. It works fast and delivers precise stitches with consistent quality.
Today’s embroidery machines range from compact home models for hobbyists to commercial machines for continuous production. While every embroidery machine serves the same purpose, they’re designed for different workloads, project types, and skill levels.
## **Why Choosing the Right Embroidery Machine Matters**
Choosing an embroidery machine isn’t just about features or price. It’s about selecting a machine that matches your embroidery goals today and gives you room to grow.
The right machine helps you produce better embroidery, work more efficiently, and tackle a wider range of projects. The wrong one can slow you down and limit what you can create.
One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned is that the machine and the design work together. Even the best [embroidery digitizing](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-what-is-embroidery-digitizing/) can only produce great results when paired with a machine that stitches accurately and consistently. That’s why understanding the differences between machine types is so important.
If you’re new to machine embroidery, our [Free Embroidery Course](https://embroiderylegacy.com/free-beginner-course/) will teach you the fundamentals and help you get the best results from your machine.
## **Single Needle Vs Multi Needle Embroidery Machines**
Are you wondering what the difference is? Both machines are computerized for embroidery. They have touch screens and automatic thread cutters. They also have USB ports for designs and fonts, along with other standard features.
However, single-needle machines have one needle with a flatbed under it, while multi-needle machines have 6 to 18 needles and tubular arms to stitch on.
Single-needle embroidery machines are a good choice for beginners or those unsure about machine embroidery. They are cost-effective and easy to use. However, multi-needle machines are the best option in the long run, giving you the ability to create more diverse projects and get the best results.
> *Note: If you like to do more than just embroidery, some high-end single needle machines can also quilt and sew. These machines offer multiple functions and may be a good choice for you.*

Choosing between a single-needle and multi-needle embroidery machine depends on your goals, budget, and the types of projects you want to create. While both produce beautiful embroidery, they differ in speed, workflow, and the projects they’re best suited for. Use the comparison below to help determine which machine is the right fit for you.
Feature Single-Needle Machine Multi-Needle Machine Number of Needles 1 needle 6–18 needles Best For Beginners, hobbyists, occasional embroidery Home businesses, growing businesses, high-volume embroidery Color Changes Manual thread change Automatic color changes Embroidery Speed Slower Faster, especially on larger designs Machine Type Flatbed Tubular arm Projects Flat items, towels, quilts, small projects Hats, shirts, jackets, sleeves, pockets, socks, bags, and more Tubular Items More difficult and requires extra preparation Designed for tubular items Productivity Requires more operator attention Runs continuously while you work on other tasks Versatility Some models also sew Designed exclusively for machine embroidery Long-Term Growth Best for learning and casual use Ideal for expanding your skills or business Regardless of which machine you choose, pairing it with [user-friendly embroidery software](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-software/) will help you get the most out of your embroidery projects as your skills grow.
### **Limitations of Single Needle Embroidery Machines:**
- Single needle machines are not meant for commercial use. They work on a flat surface, which makes it hard to embroider items like shirts or socks that are tubular in shape.
- When using a flatbed machine to embroider on sweatshirts you must turn them inside out and keep an eye on the embroidery area to avoid making mistakes.
- They have slower speeds and use rectangular hoops, which can affect registration and embroidery quality.
- These machines can only run one color at a time, requiring frequent stops for color changes, which reduces productivity.
### **The Advantages of Multi Needle Embroidery Machines**
- Multi-needle machines have 6 to 18 needles, allowing for automatic color changes and continuous operation.
- They run at higher speeds on heavier items and are more suitable for tubular items due to the tubular arm and rotary hook bobbin case.
- These machines allow you to embroider on a wide range of projects like caps, onesies, pockets, and socks.
- You can load the design, select the colors, start the machine, and walk away, freeing up time for other tasks or to grow your business.
## **Do you Plan on Embroidering for Business or Hobby Purposes? This will Determine your Attachments.**
Keep in mind that the use cases for both are different. Embroiderers who plan to use their machines for business will run them a lot more often and must prioritize saving time and being efficient. Those who plan to use their machines as a hobby will want to prioritize ease of use and the fun factor.
The most important reason you want to ask this question though is to determine what you plan on embroidering on, and whether you’ll need special machine attachments to do so.
As a hobbyist, it’s straightforward. Think about what types of embroidery projects you want to create, and choose a machine that will allow you. If you plan on embroidering pockets, make sure there is a pocket attachment.
If you’re starting or run a home embroidery business, ask yourself these questions and answer them carefully before choosing an embroidery machine that fits your budget:
- Who is my target market?
- What items/garments do they want to embroider?
- What hoop size and attachments will I need
To keep expenses low, avoid high-end bells and whistle features meant for hobbyists, as they are often unnecessary for business purposes. In my commercial embroidery factories, we produced over 10 million pieces of embroidered goods annually without these extras. Focus on essential attachments and max hoop size, like a cap attachment for hats or a large hoop for sweaters or jacket backs.

Many hobbyists quickly discover that their hobby can make them extra income.*

## **Home Vs Commercial Embroidery Machine Brands**
### **Home Embroidery Machine Brands**
To clarify, home brands like Brother, Janome, Bernina, Viking, and Babylock make good embroidery machines. These are some examples of popular brands that produce quality machines for home use. Home brands often cater to hobbyists and therefore often include many neat built-in bells and whistles.
Typically, home brands are more expensive because stores primarily sell them through dealer networks. However, they provide strong local support. That said, the main reason you may want to consider a home brand is if you think you’ll need lots of one-on-one assistance.
> *Tip: You’ll often find the best deals on home machines at a consumer show or at an event the dealer is hosting. You’ll usually get a great price, great financing, and a bundle of goodies including built in [embroidery designs.](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-designs/)*

***Thinking of purchasing a used home machine?*** *Buyer beware! You might be buying someone else’s problems. For local transactions, request to have the machine inspected by a local technician. If the seller has nothing to hide, they should have no problem with this. Purchasing a used machine from a dealer is usually a safer way to go, and you can find yourself a great deal. Many of the machines they sell are “last year’s model”.*
### **Commercial Embroidery Machine Brands**
> *Commercial or industrial embroidery machine brands generally offer
> less one-on-one support than home brands, but they are designed for high production. Like anything though, be careful because you often get what you pay for; a cheaper commercial machine may come with tension issues and a steep learning curve.*

From running a commercial multi-head embroidery company in the early 1980s, I’ve seen many multi-needle manufacturers come and go along with machine quality in general improve significantly. Years ago, I would only consider top commercial brands like Tajima, Barudan, and ZSK. These brands are still highly respected and worth the investment for their reliability, quality, and resale value.
Previously, most “offshore” machines had poor reputations, but quality has improved across the industry. However, cheaper emerging commercial brands often have additional hurdles, such as temperamental tension systems requiring much more adjustments and expertise.
While the lower price of these machines, sometimes under $8,000 USD, can be appealing, I wouldn’t recommend them for those without extensive embroidery experience.
> ***Tip:** Research thoroughly before purchasing any machine brand! Join Facebook groups, watch videos, and ask current users who run the machines as you intend to. Manufacturers and marketers make big promises, but customers give real feedback on the good and bad.*

## **Conclusion: What is the Best Embroidery Machine for You?**
The answer to this question depends on several factors. But overall, if you’re primarily focused on embroidery (not sewing or quilting), I’d strongly recommend a multi-needle machine. The tubular arm and various attachments make it easy to embroider on different types of garments. Just set it up and let it do the work.
Consider what you want to embroider and what your purposes are for the machine (hobby or business) before investing. This will help you ensure the machine you buy has the attachments for what you’d like to create.
The choice of machine brand depends on your support needs and budget. Home brands, though expensive because of dealer networks, often include in person training.
Commercial brands do not have as many bells and whistles, but they are designed for long-lasting use. This helps you make more money over time and maintain a high resale value. Overall, remember you often get what you pay for.

## **Frequently Asked Questions**
### **How do I choose the right embroidery machine?**
Start by thinking about what you want to embroider and how often you’ll use the machine.Hobbyists typically have different needs than embroidery businesses, so choose a machine that supports your current projects while giving you room to grow.

For most beginners, a home embroidery machine or single-needle embroidery machine is an excellent choice. They’re easy to use, affordable, and provide everything needed to learn the fundamentals of machine embroidery before upgrading to commercial equipment.

A well-maintained embroidery machine can last for many years. The lifespan depends on how often it’s used, the quality of the machine, and whether it’s cleaned and serviced regularly. Commercial machines are designed to withstand heavier production workloads than most home machines.
### **When should I upgrade my embroidery machine?**
Consider upgrading if your current machine no longer supports the projects you want to create, you’re spending too much time changing thread colors, you need larger embroidery fields, or your business has grown beyond your machine’s capabilities.
### **Are commercial embroidery machines better than home embroidery machines?**
Not necessarily, they’re designed for different purposes. Home embroidery machines are ideal for hobbyists and occasional embroidery, while commercial embroidery machines are built for speed, durability, and continuous production. The best choice depends on your embroidery goals, workload, and budget.

## What Does It Mean To Resize an Embroidery Design?
> Resizing embroidery designs is the act of using [**embroidery digitizing software**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-software/digitizing) to make an embroidery design file either larger or smaller without distorting it.

Most embroidery software allows safe resizing within a general range. But stitch types, density, and digitizing decisions ultimately determine how well a design will resize.
For best results:
- Use proportional (percentage-based) scaling
- Avoid extreme size changes without adjusting stitch properties
- Always check the stitch count and stitch length before running your design
Remember: resizing changes how stitches behave—not just how the design looks.
Many beginners run into problems when resizing embroidery designs. A design that looks fine on screen can suddenly cause puckering, thread breaks, and gaps once the machine starts stitching it.
The reason is simple: resizing doesn’t just make a design bigger or smaller, it changes how the stitches behave. Learning how to resize properly is one of the fastest ways to improve your embroidery results.
Over the years, one of the most consistent questions I’ve had is: “how much can you resize an embroidery design?”
I’m always amazed at the range of answers I hear. Some will say, “you shouldn’t resize at all,” some preach safely 10% up or down, others 20%, or 30%. Some resize to the point that there is no limit…
*The reality is that there is no one single correct answer. Every digitizer builds embroidery designs differently.*
Many embroiderers expect one design to run well on every fabric type. In reality, digitizers need to adjust underlay, density, and pull compensation based on the material they’re working with. Leather and pique knit require completely different recipes if you expect both to stitch properly.
But the real question isn’t what resizing is, it’s how much you can resize a design without ruining the stitch quality.

## How Much Can You Resize an Embroidery Design?
In most cases, you can resize embroidery designs within a reasonable range. But stitch types, density, and other [embroidery digitizing](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-what-is-embroidery-digitizing/) decisions ultimately determine how far you can push the design.
With a basic understanding of stitch rules, you can see how these limitations come into play.
In general, designs tend to have a much higher success rate when resized larger rather than smaller.
If a design contains fine details or small text, your ability to reduce the size is extremely limited. Shrinking it will often result in hard stitches and poor-quality results. For example, if a running stitch is already at a .5mm stitch length, reducing the size further can cause excessive stitch density and thread breaks.
The same problem can happen when you increase a design too much. If a design already uses long stitches, enlarging it can push those stitches beyond safe limits.
Double the size, and some stitches can exceed 12.1mm. When that happens, many machines automatically trigger trim commands, which can create sections of invisible embroidery.
But to understand these limits, you need to understand how digitizers build embroidery designs.
> The [**Free Digitizing 101 Course**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-classes/digitizing-education/free-101-course/) teaches the core fundamentals of digitizing so you can confidently resize, adjust, and improve your embroidery designs without guesswork.

## Why Some Embroidery Designs Resize Better Than Others
Digitizers build embroidery designs differently, which is why resizing isn’t as simple as choosing a percentage.
Two designs that look similar on screen can stitch out completely differently once the machine embroiders them.
To understand why, you need to look at the decisions the digitizer made when creating the design. Stitch types, density, and overall design structure all play a role in how well a design will scale up or down.
Many beginners assume that resizing is just a simple percentage change. In reality, you’re changing how stitches interact with fabric. That’s where problems like puckering, thread breaks, and gaps begin to appear.
I sometimes feel sympathetic for sewing machine dealers when customers leave with their first machine in hand. Many go online, download random free designs, and quickly run into issues like thread breaks and [**bird nesting**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-avoid-machine-embroidery-birds-nests/).
The problem isn’t the machine; it’s the design, and resizing a poorly digitized file will only make the problem worse.
That’s why it’s so important to understand the fundamentals digitizers use to build embroidery designs. When you know what to look for, you can quickly tell whether a design will resize well or cause problems.
All embroidery designs are built using three primary stitch types:
- **[Running stitch](https://embroiderylegacy.com/running-stitch-embroidery-digitizing/)**
- **[Satin stitch](https://embroiderylegacy.com/satin-stitch-embroidery-digitizing/)**
- **[Fill stitch](https://embroiderylegacy.com/the-ultimate-machine-embroidery-fill-stitch-guide/)**
Each of these stitch types follows its own set of rules. When digitizers push those rules too far, especially during resizing, the final stitch-out can show problems.
To keep this practical, let’s focus on one of the most important: the running stitch.
## Running Stitch Rules:
### **Minimums:**
With a running stitch, stitch length is the main setting you control. Stitch length determines how far the needle travels between each stitch.
Every running stitch has safe minimum and maximum limits, and fabric type can change those limits slightly. In most cases, .5mm is the absolute minimum stitch length before the machine starts creating hard stitches and thread breaks.
We need to remember that embroidery machines like movement within the frame. If the needle repeatedly stitches in the same spot, the machine will almost always break the thread. Also, small stitches will assist in creating stitch-intensive (or “bulletproof”) designs. This is one of the biggest culprits of poorly digitized designs, way too many stitch penetrations too close together!
*If .5mm is the absolute smallest, then 1mm is safe, and 1.5mm is what I personally aim for when I’m creating designs.*
I know a 1.5mm stitch will always embroider smoothly on my machine without creating any hard stitches. Now that we’ve covered the minimum, let’s look at the maximum.
### **Maximums:**
Maximum stitch length depends on how you plan to use the finished item. Wearable and non-wearable items follow different rules.
Wearable items go through frequent washing and wear. If the stitches are too long, the embroidery will eventually lose its shape and can look loose or loopy. That maximum stitch length you’d want to use on a wearable item is **7mm**. You can go longer, but it’s asking for trouble.
You can use stitches longer than 7mm, but I only recommend them for non-wearable items that won’t go through repeated washing. Most machines that have trimmers will automatically force a trim command when a stitch goes over 12.1mm in length. The machine will start making individual stitches, followed by trim commands, which create an effect known as invisible embroidery.
## **The Curveball when Resizing: Native and Machine Formats**
Now that I’ve gotten you to a place where you might be saying, ahh, I get it! I’m going to throw you a bit of a curveball.
Resizing becomes much more difficult when you work with machine file formats instead of native embroidery files.
> If you’re unfamiliar with [embroidery file formats](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-machine-embroidery-file-formats/), read our blog that breaks down the differences between them.
>

> [Tweet](/)
Machine file formats like PES make editing more difficult. They don’t store the same stitch information as native embroidery files.
While you can still make adjustments, resizing machine files often requires extra cleanup and editing to achieve good results.
Native embroidery files give you much more flexibility. Because the software can access the original stitch data, resizing and editing usually produce smoother results. If you digitize your own designs, always save your master files in your software’s native format.
This is exactly why understanding digitizing theory and using the right software matters so much.
## **You Need Digitizing Theory to Properly Resize Embroidery Designs**
*In conclusion, there is no magic percentage or ratio for resizing your embroidery designs. Instead, it’s important to remember the age-old theory behind creating smooth-running embroidery designs. Follow these rules to get machine-friendly results:*
### **Running Stitch Length Rules for Smooth Embroidery:**
- Minimum Stitch Length: **.5mm**
- Safe: **1mm**
- What I personally aim for when I’m creating designs: **1.5mm**
- Maximum Stitch Length: **7mm** on **wearable** items
- Most machines will automatically **trim** when a stitch goes over **12.1mm**.
Hopefully, now you better understand why the digitizing theory matters so much in machine embroidery. While embroidery software continues to evolve, the core rules behind thread, stitches, and fabric have stayed the same.
If you’d like to continue learning these fundamentals, check out our [Free Digitizing 101 Course](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-classes/digitizing-education/free-101-course/ "Free Digitizing 101 Course"). Even if you never digitize a design yourself, understanding the theory will help you make better decisions with every design you use.
The more you understand what happens beneath the needle, the better your embroidery results will become.

For example, you can digitize things like your kids’ drawings, a company’s logo, or an internet image.
Now keep in mind, there are some limitations in place. Unlike printing something, machine embroidery has more limitations in place because we’re dealing with physical mediums like [**thread** ](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-threads/)and fabric. That said, you couldn’t digitize the Mona Lisa onto a 2-inch patch and expect the same level of detail.
As a general rule, the smaller the size of the design, the less detail you can put into it. For tiny designs and logos, you must often adjust your artwork before digitizing to get good embroidered results.

Like any hobby, having proper instruction & experiencing positive results will reflect the amount of interest you have in learning. Things like underlay stitches, understanding the three basic embroidery stitch types ([**running stitch**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/running-stitch-embroidery-digitizing/), fill, and [**satin stitches**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/satin-stitch-embroidery-digitizing/)), push & pull compensation, and density are all key aspects that must be considered when learning how to transform artwork into an embroidery design.
I understand that some of these words (or all of them) might be new to you and seem foreign. The main thing to remember is that, like painting, digitizing is an art form that simply requires patience and, of course, a guiding hand from the right instructor.
## How to Digitize for Embroidery
Once you get the hang of it, embroidery digitizing follows a clear, repeatable workflow. The steps may change a little based on the type of embroidery design and fabric, but the main process stays the same.
### Prepare Your Artwork
Every digitizing project starts with evaluating the [**artwork for embroidery**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-digitizing-artwork/). Often, clean, simple designs are easier to digitize and stitch more reliably.
### Plan the Stitch Path (Mapping)
Before any stitches are placed, the design must be planned, or what digitizers call “[**mapping**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/pathing-design-embroidery-digitizing/).” This includes deciding stitch order, direction, and flow so the design stitches efficiently and holds its shape once sewn. Think of it like planning your errands before leaving the house. If you randomly drive from place to place, you waste time and energy. Good stitch planning works the same way by creating a smoother, more efficient path for the embroidery machine.
### Add Underlay Stitches
[**Underlay stitches**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-digitizing-underlay-digitizing/) form the foundation of a quality embroidery design. They help stabilize the fabric, support top stitches, and improve overall stitch quality, especially on textured or stretchy materials. Think of them like the foundation of a house.
### Choose the Right Stitch Types
This is where the real creativity and fun begin! Different parts of a design require different embroidery [**stitch types**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-digitizing-types-of-stitches/). Choosing the appropriate stitch type helps balance appearance, durability, and how stitches behave on fabric.
More of a visual learner? Watch the video below for a quick breakdown of the most common embroidery stitch types and how they’re used in embroidery digitizing:
### Adjust the Density and Compensation
Stitch density and compensation settings help control how thread interacts with fabric during embroidery. Different materials stretch, pull, and react differently under stitches, which means digitizers often need to adjust density, spacing, and [**push and pull compensation**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/push-pull-compensation-embroidery-digitizing/) to maintain clean outlines and proper shape. Proper compensation helps prevent common [**embroidery digitizing problems**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-digitizing-problems-how-to-avoid/) such as gaps, distortion, and puckering in the final embroidery design.
## What Do I Need to Start Embroidery Digitizing?
\#image\_title### Embroidery Digitizing Software
There are a few things you’ll need to start your digitizing journey, but first and most importantly, you need embroidery digitizing software. Choosing the right embroidery digitizing software is one of the most important parts of learning how to digitize embroidery successfully. The best embroidery digitizing software should simplify the learning process while still giving you the control needed to create clean, professional embroidery files.
We highly recommend **[Embroidery Legacy as a beginner-friendly embroidery digitizing software](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-software/digitizing/)** because it was specifically designed to make digitizing easier, less cluttered, and more intuitive without sacrificing the powerful tools serious digitizers need.
> *After teaching over 100,000 embroiderers how to digitize through online education and in-person workshops around the world, I saw the same frustrations come up again and again with traditional software.* Embroidery Legacy Digitizing Software *was created to overcome those hurdles by simplifying the technical side of digitizing and automatically handling much of the embroidery theory for you behind the scenes.*

The result is a smoother, more intuitive experience that helps you focus less on complicated settings and more on what matters most: your creativity.
### Embroidery Equipment
Aside from that, a computer and access to an [**embroidery machine**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-digitizing-how-your-embroidery-machine-thinks/) are essential. Without stitching out your digitized designs, you will not see where your errors are. As I always say, what you see on your screen isn’t always the same as your stitched outcome. Trial and error will be your new motto!
### Proper Education & Support
Finally, you’ll need proper training and a supportive community for when questions come up. Digitizing has a learning curve, but the right guidance can dramatically speed up the process. Education is something we’ve specialized in for decades through workshops, online training, and hands-on lessons for embroiderers around the world. Whether it’s [**YouTube tutorials**](https://www.youtube.com/@EmbroideryLegacy), online courses, embroidery groups, or communities like our [**Digitizing Made Easy Facebook Group**](https://www.facebook.com/groups/EmbroideryLegacy), learning from others and getting feedback on your designs will help you improve much faster.
## The History of Embroidery Digitizing
Although [**embroidery software**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-software/) and [**embroidery file formats**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-machine-embroidery-file-formats/) are new and constantly evolving, the age-old rules of how thread interacts with fabric are not. In fact, they’re thousands of years old!
Now keep in mind that machine embroidery (compared to hand embroidery) is still somewhat new, starting in the nineteenth century. But still, contrary to popular belief, embroidery digitizing didn’t start with computers.
No, machine embroidery used to be done on Schiffli looms that were 10-15 yards long and produced hundreds of pieces at a time. These machines were operated by Schiffli master digitizers who manually commanded and traced each stitch in live time (each master apprenticed for 10 years to learn their trade)!
I’m proud to say that as far as I know, I am the last Schiffli master digitizer still alive and teaching in North America (I know most of you know my story, so I’ll stop it there)…
The point I’m trying to make is that although these days the right software makes things A LOT easier by putting most of the digitizing process on “autopilot” for you, embroidery is an art form dealing with the physical mediums of thread and fabric which are governed by rules.
Because of this, there is some basic embroidery theory that every embroiderer should learn to really understand how [**machine embroidery designs**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-designs/) are created and how to get the best results, even if you don’t want to learn how to digitize fully!
## How to Start Learning Embroidery Digitizing

## **Embroidery Digitizing FAQ**
### **How to digitize a logo for embroidery?**
Digitizing a logo for embroidery involves converting artwork into a stitch-based embroidery file using embroidery digitizing software. The process includes sizing the logo correctly, choosing the right stitch types, adjusting underlay and compensation settings, and optimizing the stitch path so the design sews cleanly on fabric. Small lettering, fine details, and fabric type all play a major role in how a logo stitches out.
If you want a full step-by-step walkthrough, check out our complete guide on **[how to digitize a logo for embroidery](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-digitize-a-logo-for-embroidery-step-by-step-guide/)**, where we cover artwork preparation, stitch planning, fabric settings, logo text, trims, and professional digitizing tips used in commercial embroidery.
### **Is embroidery digitizing hard to learn?**
No, it’s not hard, but it does take practice. Embroidery digitizing becomes easier when you learn it step by step. The challenge comes from understanding how stitches behave on fabric, not in using the software itself. With a strong foundation, digitizing becomes a rather simple, logical, and repeatable process.
### **Can beginners learn embroidery digitizing at home?**
Yes. Beginners can learn embroidery digitizing by starting with the fundamentals. Learning stitch behavior, fabric interaction, and basic digitizing theory early makes the process far more approachable and reduces frustration.
### **Do you need special software for embroidery digitizing?**
Yes. Embroidery digitizing requires dedicated embroidery digitizing software that can create stitch-based files for embroidery machines. We recommend Embroidery Legacy Digitizing Software for its ease of use.
### **Is auto-digitizing good for professional embroidery?**
[**Auto-digitizing software**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/auto-embroidery-digitizing-software/) can produce quick results, but it’s not fully reliable on its own. Because it can’t account for fabric behavior and stitch interaction, auto-digitizing often requires manual adjustments to achieve clean, professional embroidery.

[Download Artwork](https://embroiderylegacy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/DesignDoodler_3DReindeerArtwork.jpg)
## Digitizing 3D Embroidery Christmas Reindeer
**Begin by inserting artwork:**
- Select the Load Backdrop icon.
- Navigate to your artwork location.
- Select your file name.
- Open the Properties Tool and select (click) on your artwork image.
- Resize to 13 x 17 inches (remember the actual artwork is smaller than the sheet of paper.
- Change the opacity to the desired level.
**Digitize the outlines:**
- Open the color palette and select your desired color.
- Select the Bean Run Stitch (triple stitch).
- Choose the Free draw option and Doodle around the edges of the Objects.
**Add the colored dots or your own embellishments:**
- Open the color palette and choose your color (we chose red).
- Select the fill brush.
- Choose the circle option and doodle a few spots.
We did red first and then repeated the process with green.
**Create the reindeer eyes:**
- Open the color palette and choose black (or whatever color you wish).
- Select the Fill brush.
- Choose the circle option.
- Put eyes on your reindeer head.
**Save your file:**
- Click the Save File icon.
- Navigate to your desired location.
- Name the file and click save.
## Embroidering 3D Embroidery Christmas Reindeer
**Step 1:** Hoop a piece of medium-weight tear-away stabilizer and lightly spray with temporary embroidery spray.
**Step 2:** Place one of the felt squares down.
**Step 3:** Insert your file into the machine and stitch the entire file.
After you finish stitching, remove the felt from the hoop and tear away the extra stabilizer. Make sure to leave all the stabilizers in the centers of the objects.
**Step 4:** Use a hot iron to adhere the fusible bonding material to the back side of your stitch-out.
We used old collar stays to strengthen the legs and provide additional stabilization. Lay them on the legs and press slightly. The bonding material is slightly sticky and will hold these in place until you iron on the top layer.
**Step 5:** Carefully lay the second piece of felt over the prepared felt and iron it.
**Step 6:** When cooled, carefully trim the excess from around the objects, about ⅛ inch.
*Tip:* To provide additional stabilization, use Terial Magic or another fabric stiffener. You can also use leftover water-soluble topper pieces dissolved in water as a fabric stiffener!
Lay flat to dry.
**Step 7:** Carefully clip the notches in placement as shown in the artwork.
**Step 8:** Assemble your reindeer.
Congratulations! You’ve just brought a 3D reindeer to life using the Design Doodler. Whether you’re displaying it as part of your holiday décor or gifting it to someone special, this design will spread joy and festive vibes. Don’t forget to experiment with colors, embellishments, and personal touches to make it one-of-a-kind.

**Step 5:** Hoop a t-shirt using a medium-weight cutaway stabilizer.
**Step 6:** Place your embroidery hoop in your machine and stitch the placement line and the filled stem.
**Step 7:** Remove the hoop from the machine and use placement lines to place the left and right fabrics (purple and orange). Use adhesive spray on the fabrics to hold in place on your garment before stitching.
**Step 8:** Place your white O (for the ghost) over the center O.
**Step 9:** To hold the fabric back, fold the edges and secure them with tape.
**Step 10:** Return the hoop to your machine and stitch through the green spiderweb.
**Step 11:** Stitch through the orange pumpkin’s eyes and the green spiderweb on the letter B. After it is finished stitching, remove the tape to release the middle O’s edges.
**Step 12:** Stitch the ghost eyes and replace the tape to hold back the white fabric.
**Step 13:** Stitch the final black outline of the B and the O on the right.
**Step 14:** Remove the tape and finish the black outline stitch on the ghost.

### [Purr-fect Cat TP Holder Tutorial with Design Doodler](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidered-cat-toilet-paper-holder-design-doodler-tutorial/)
**Published:** August 11, 2025
**Author:** Embroidery Legacy
**Content:**
Hey, Embroidery Legacy family! Are you ready to create a fun and practical project that will make you smile?
Create your own cute cat toilet paper holder using the Design Doodler! This step-by-step tutorial will guide you through designing and stitching an adorable cat motif that turns a simple toilet paper holder into a fun bathroom accessory! Whether you’re a cat lover or just looking for a fun new project, this tutorial is purr-fect for you!
## Materials for Toilet Paper Holder
- Vinyl 7″ x20″
- Scissors
- Craft felt in any color 7″ x20″
- Heat ‘n Bond (or other heat-activated bonding material) 7″ x20″
- Black disposable tablecloth material 4″ x4″ inches

[Download Cat Artwork Now](https://embroiderylegacy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/CatTPHolderDoodlerArtwork.png)## Creating Embroidered Cat Toilet Paper Holder on the Design Doodler
**Step 1:** Insert your artwork in your Design Doodler software.
**Step 2:** Use the fill tool to draw around the outline of the cat artwork. Set your fill density to .60 mm and your stitch length to 4 mm.
**Step 3:** Draw the crescents of the eyes using the steel (satin) stitch at 2.5 mm width.
**Step 4:** Create the highlights of the eyes using the circle fill tool in satin.
**Step 5:** Create the rectangle box using the satin stitch tool in a square pattern.
**Step 6:** Create the lettering for the phrase you want using the Text tool.
**Step 7:** Your design is finished! Save it as a “native” **.jdx** file and your desired embroidery machine format.
## Embroidering Cute Cat Toilet Paper Holder
**Step 1:** Hoop a piece of stabilizer. (You can add a center line if you need it for proper positioning.)
**Step 2:** Using a temporary spray, lightly mist the vinyl or the stabilizer.
**Step 3:** Adhere the vinyl to the center of the hoop. The edges will hang over your hoop. (You will need this material as it will wrap around the back of the toilet paper roll).
**Step 4:** Insert your hoop into the embroidery machine and stitch the outline.
**Step 5:** Stop the machine and place a black disposable tablecloth over the cat head portion. We do this to “blackout” vinyl that shows through since we use a lighter-density fill to prevent rippling.
**Step 6:** Return your hoop to the machine and stitch the black cat.
**Step 7:** Remove it from the machine and remove excess material from the cat design.
**Step 8:** Return your hoop to the machine and stitch through the end.
**Step 9:** Remove from the hoop and tear away the stabilizer.
**Step 10:** Iron on heat and bond onto your craft felt.
**Step 11:** Remove the paper backing and iron onto the *wrong* side of the vinyl. Never *iron on the good side of vinyl, and always use a pressing cloth to prevent the material from melting.*
**Step 12:** After the felt is adhered, use scissors to trim around the edge of the design, leaving ¼ inch.
**Step 13:** To create the closure, glue on or sew a velcro closure.
Your cute embroidered cat toilet paper holder is complete and ready to add some fun to your bathroom decor!

### [From Thread to Fur: Create Stunning Custom Pet Embroidery Portraits](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-digitizing-pet-portrait/)
**Published:** August 11, 2025
**Author:** Embroidery Legacy
**Content:**
Have you ever wondered how to add a touch of realism to your dog and cat embroidery portraits? If you want to learn how your thread can resemble lifelike details like fur and hair, you’re in the right place!
Texture is vital in embroidering people’s and animals’ fur and hair. We will build on the skills we learned in our first embroidery portrait article.
> *We suggest reading our first article of this series, [**Easily Create Custom Pet & People Portraits with your Embroidery Machine**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-digitizing-people-portrait/) before continuing. This will help you understand the subject better.*

We’ll look at a few ways of filling your outline and creating some texture. Our goal is to use less fill when creating designs to avoid excessive stitching, resulting in bulletproof embroidery. Instead, we will use color blocking and embellish the fills with additional textural lines.
> *In this article we’ll be using the Design Doodler, which is an [embroidery software](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-software/digitizing/) that is as easy as creating a design in the click of a button!

## Embroidery Texture Accents
Texture accents are when you add a few more lines to accentuate something in your portrait. It makes a beautiful addition to your line drawing!
In a few strokes, it can take line-drawn dog embroidery to a fluffy furry friend.
## Embroidery Texture Fill
Texture fills are basically more lines added in to flesh out the design. Try this after working through the general outlines. These will provide detail and can bring the subject to life. Using texture lines is effective in creating a 3-dimensional face.
Let’s discuss an easy way of picking what you will accent and how much to do.
Start with an outline you like. We suggest choosing a simple animal with short or medium hair with only a few colors.
We’re using Mille, a super cute Shih Tzu, for this example. Here are the steps we took:
1. Choose a good-quality photo (not a thumbnail; you might need to resize it larger).
2. Insert the photo into your [**Design Doodler Software**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-software/design-doodler/).
3. Create a basic outline.
1. Draw around the perimeter.
2. Draw in the eyes (just the iris and outline of the eye. Right now, we will not color the iris and pupil).
4\. Outline the nose; simple is all you need.
5\. Choose several features to outline
- Chin
- Ears
- Snout
- Any fur feature that makes your furry friend unique.
- ***Remember, less is more!*** Experiment with the *least* amount of detail you can use.
## Adding Texture In Embroidery
With this simple outline, we can create fill and texture with lines! Adding texture using lines can simulate a couple of things:
- Depth and shadow
- Color
Let’s explore both of these techniques.
Look back at Millie; she has recessed eyes, neck, and ears, and her nose is sticking out. You can fill in more to show depth.
> *Fill in more on the areas farther away from you and leave the ones closer less filled.*

Look at Millie again; she has basically three colors on her face: black, grey, and white.
We can use more line fill to show darks and lights. Fill darker colors more, fill light colors less, or even leave them blank!
Practice with a basic pet picture. Add more fill for darker colors and recessed areas to make your stitching come alive. Let’s check out color blocking!
## Embroidery Color Blocking
Color blocking in fashion changes how the body looks without changing the body itself. It involves using clothing as a canvas to create bold and contrasting colors.
We will use this theory to fill in and reduce stitches while still creating a great portrait. We can find the “color blocks” and turn them into digital form. Then, we can use our line technique to fill and add texture.
One of the first ways to color block is to change how we look at pictures. When you get right down to it, pictures are just areas of color, some large and some small. We will stay on a huge scale. We have a couple of tricks to make it easy for you.
If you have not heard of a “cartoonizer,” check them out online. Free versions can get you started. A cartoonizer is a graphics program that takes a picture and adds filters. Some will allow you to color block.
Here is what Millie looks like when she is color-blocked.
If we break this down into three colors (light, medium, and dark), here is how the cartoonizer helps.
Using this information, this is what she looks like as a filled digitized dog.
Different variations of this technique exist, but here are things to keep in mind:
- Your color blocks don’t *have* to touch each other; sometimes, a little gap helps give the design some interest.
- You can leave areas blank if you’re stitching on white.
- Use a less dense fill. Shade these areas, but they don’t necessarily need to be covered.
- You can use loose fills and overlap them to blend.
- Remember that your fill does not have to all go in the same direction. Changing the stitch direction will create some nice texture and 3D effects.
## Putting them all together
Whether you choose one or all techniques, they can produce a great result! Here is what Millie looks like with all the techniques together.
In future articles, we will discuss eyes and other features like noses in further detail. However, here are some examples of eyes and noses.
A colored area (the iris) and a dark (almost black center that looks into the eye (the pupil) exist. Because it is a wet sphere, you will often see a glint of light or white. Please be careful adding these. The satin stitch is your best choice, and ***please*** keep it ***minimal!***
Also, remember that accents are not in the same place on each eye! If you are working from a photograph, use that for guidance.
Here is the order you build your eyes:
1. Lay down a crescent of color for the pupil.
2. Digitize your pupil (the dark part) and make sure they overlap; it is one place we want saturated color.
3. Add your glimmer of the eye using the satin stitch.
Here is another take on the eyes.

Great use of black and white and just colored eyes to make them pop!
## Other tricks to create embroidery fur
Let’s look at different types of fur…
- The picture above displays short fur, which you can achieve with just a single line. You can use short zig zags or hash marks for the slightly longer hairs.
- Exceedingly long fur, like Miss Kitty, requires a combination of color block fill and hair texture.
You can see the beige underlay under the long hair.
- To create curly fur, you can draw out the curls and fill the tips or darker areas.
## Other ideas!
We have absolutely NO end to the possibilities! Your imagination is the only limit to what you can create.
**Many other ideas you can try!**
- Create easy fur using applique! A fun fabric, fur can create beautiful textures and patterns.
- Use a coarse woven fabric and fray the edges for a more 3D fur appearance.
- Experience with different colors. Who says a Doberman must be black and white, not purple and green?
- Try out permanent watercolor pencils and see what a little imagination and an iron can do!!
Check out what permanent watercolor pencils did to our portrait of Mille.

## Conclusion: Create Your Own Dog and Cat Embroidery Designs
Of course we had to share what Miss Millie would look like and all the techniques we just went over together.
We have covered a lot, but there will be more in future articles about pets and people. We will focus on eyes, noses, and other unique features to make your portraits great!
Here are some of the main takeaways we have for you:
- Less is more! We tend to do too much, which muddies the portrait.
- Use computer aids until you are more adept. Try using a cartoonizer or other graphics program to simplify your design.
- Create your own take on the portrait. Each artist has their own unique point of view. You may create a Millie design in a whole new way!
Remember to start slow. It takes time to learn how to make portraits with the Doodler or other software. Starting simple makes the process easier.

## Creating Embroidery Designs From Photos
It seems daunting to imagine creating your own embroidery from a photograph, but it’s easier than you think! Tracing a line from a picture is simple with a regular mouse, pen mouse, pen monitor, or Apple pencil.

Let’s discuss things to keep in mind while working with photographs.
1. **Keep it simple while you learn,** and don’t try to recreate *everything!* Start with the basics until you learn, and add more detail. Starting your portrait journey will be easy if you learn how to create a solid outline. Practice on more simple photos and develop your style.
2. **Develop your style.** Your point of view, tastes, and skills are unique to you. Stick to the steps we’ve outlined to help you structure your drawing so it works for you.
3. **Don’t try to add all the details.** At one point, there will be *too many* details.
A great rule of thumb in embroidery is “your brain fills in the details.” You don’t need every detail to know it is a dog or a flower. If you think you put in too much detail, you probably have.
4. **Be patient with the process.** This type of embroidery can take time to perfect. So, friends, dig deep, try something new, and practice.
## Types of Embroidery Portraits
We made different drawings, from easy to hard, but here are four ways to use a photo for an embroidery portrait. These creations are made from a starting photo and can be created using [**Design Doodler**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-software/design-doodler/free-trial/). The creation process requires a pen monitor or pen mouse.
***The only skill you need is tracing!***
### 1. Outline Portrait Embroidery
Outline embroideries are popular, and they are fairly easy to do! You can create pets, people, buildings, or anything you’d like! Many of our Design Doodler Facebook members have done bride and groom outlines for gifts, outlines of family and friends, pets, and more!

Let’s talk about pet portrait embroidery. This darling little Frenchie is a great beginning point. Even with just lines, you can tell who he is; there is even character in his face and stance.
Here are the steps we took to create this playful pup!
1\. Insert good quality artwork at the “finished size” into your workspace. Your artwork must be the size you want for your stitching.
2\. Trace around the entire outline of the subject. Theoretically, you can stop here, but there are a few items you can add.
3\. Eyes: or at least a little of the eyes. You will have expression even if you include the upper eyelid and the iris/pupil.
4\. Eyebrows: pencil-thin eyebrows are not (currently) in fashion for people, but they sure work on embroidery portraits! They help establish the face and expression.
5\. Nose: to find the bottom of the nose, draw a line between the nostrils and circle the tip. This helps define the nose and add detail to our character.
6\. Mouth: an easy cheat is to draw the line between the lips, and if the lower lip is full, a second, smaller one under that.
7\. Laugh/frown lines: ladies hate them, but they give character.
Pets all have these lines, too, so make sure to try out these techniques.
> *Less is more in outline drawings.* Your brain fills in the rest! Avoid putting too much detail, or it can ruin your portrait.

### 2. Texture Fill Embroidery
Texture fills are more lines added in to flesh out the design. We suggest trying this after working through the outlines. These will provide detail and can bring the subject to life.
To add more detail:
1. Be sure to zoom in. For example, you will often get a better result if you look at an eye as a series of lines and shapes.
2. To create fur texture, try *not* to fill in all the lines of the fur. Pick some of the darker areas and make the lines of your fur more dense. It serves two purposes: it implies color and shows shadow.
3. You don’t want to add too much to make fur texture on white fur. Only place a line or two to show the direction of the strands.
4. To make short fur, use small strokes or zigzag.
### 3. Color Block Embroidery
Color blocking is choosing *how many* colors to use and applying them to a simplified picture. Different from painting. Many people use an editing “cartoonizer” program that simplifies the colors for them!
Primary colors range from extremely dark to light. Using those colors, we can lay down a background. Make sure that these overlap; this creates a more stable base.
Generally, tatami stitch is the best fill stitch. Still, we recommend lessening the density and removing the underlay (we want color coverage but not dense fill).
> *Do you know what a tatami stitch is? Learn about the three main stitch types with our [**free Digitizing 101 Course**.](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-classes/digitizing-education/free-101-course/)*

We use black-and-white images with color blocks to show highlights and low lights. Here is another example of how that works:
Adding the dark and light brings this bunny to life!
Color blocking
1. Run your photo through a cartoonizer or editing program to create color “fields.” Or, as we did, digitize a fill of the entire subject within the outline using the most prominent color you see in the picture.
2. You can color block both if your subject is multicolored (a dog, for example) in black and white. When using black, we have found it helpful to move up one color to charcoal and then use your black highlights over it.
3. When you have a base color for your subject, you can return and add overlays of the other colors you see in the picture. ***Make sure to lessen the density of every layer you put on going forward.*** You want to have some of the base colors show through.
4. Place your outline over the color-blocked background and see how it looks.
Let’s look at our Frenchie…
We decided where dark and light were on our own, but a program would work here, too!
Remember that in this portrait, we don’t *have* to fill every space, but you can! Include the fur colors white, black, and grey.
In a future lesson, we’ll discuss drawing eyes. But for now, we drew the colored part and added a small white dot to make it look shiny.
> *Remember that the highlighted reflections (the white) are not in the same place on each eye. Eyeballs are not round, so where that reflection hits will be different on each eye.*

Let’s move on to putting them all together.
### 4. Texture and Color Block Embroidery
We’ve taken the outline, the texture we added, and the color block to put our little pup together. We were not trying for a photographic result; we wanted to capture his character!
Let’s recap how we created this fabulous Frenchie!
To create the outline, these are the steps we took:
1. Insert a good-quality picture into your [machine embroidery software](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-software/digitizing/), we recommend using Design Doodler®.
2. Using a pen mouse, a pen tablet with a stylus, or Apple pencils (for our Mac users), trace an outline of the subject. You will have a better result if you zoom in.
3. To add more details, we suggest selecting two or three things that help to define the subject. Remember that *less is more*.
4. Remove your artwork by hiding it, and check out your result.
This is a line drawing while using permanent ink pencils. Super simple, as you draw and activate with water!

## Commercial vs. Home Embroidery Hoops
Having come from the commercial side of embroidery, I must admit that one of the things that shocked me most when entering the home or hobbyist embroidery industry was the shape of the hoops
You see, in the commercial embroidery industry, the shapes of most hoops are circular & round. While in the home embroidery industry, most hoops are square or rectangular which is why you get sizes like 5 x 7 hoops.
Now logically, the commercial (or circular) hoops do make more sense. The reason is because with the rectangular hobbyist hoops, there are 4 corners where the fabric is held securely. However, the long straight areas of the hoop between the corners are not held as tight or securely. This leads to the fabric becoming loose and causing issues like design misregistration & puckering.
Now with the commercial hoops being circular, the material is held down securely and evenly within all areas of the hoop. Instead of only having 4 strong corners, the pressure is evenly dispersed throughout the entire hoop which makes the fabric less likely to become lose & pull inwards. Think of it like a drum: a drum is circular so that the drum skin (as they call it) can be stretched evenly across the drum to make it tight.
> *Round hoops are most stable as fabric is held consistently and evenly around the entire surface.*
> *Rectangular and square hoops hold best on the 4 corners and can promote movement in the long/straight pathways.*
> *Keeping that in mind, magnetic hoops, whether square or round will hold fabrics more consistently because the magnets have an even hold.*

To this day, I personally do prefer to use circular hoops over square or rectangular-shaped ones because it does a better job of holding your fabric & stabilizer securely in place. However, it is in no way a must. Some home and commercial crossover machines do come with circular hoops. But you’re often able to custom order circular hoops for most home machine brands, too.
Once again, you in no way need to have circular hoops. I’ll show you some helpful tips & tricks on how to secure the long straight areas of rectangular hoops in the *Hooping Tips, Tricks & Techniques* section below. But first, let’s cover some hooping basics with a quick tutorial.
## Machine Embroidery Hooping Tutorial
Properly hooping a garment will increase the correct registration of a design, and reduce puckering and movement.
> I often see embroiderers take a screwdriver & tighten their hoops as much as they possibly can after hooping. Do not do this on materials you care about! It will cause hoop burn, making the fabric look stretched and worn. Instead, try following these hooping instructions.

### Step 1: Get Your Hoop & Fabric Ready
The first step towards proper hooping is to grab the piece of material that you’ll be stitching on, fold it in half, and give it a tiny bit of pressure. This will give you a measurement of how thick the fabric is when folded and gives you a visual guideline showing you how to properly pre-adjust the space between each half of your hoop.
The idea is that when you pre-adjust the hoop to the right size beforehand, you won’t play around tightening it after the material is already hooped, which causes hoop burn on the material.
You will then take your hoop and pull on the corner that has the adjustable knob and loosen or tighten it to make the separation between each piece of the hoop roughly the same size as the visually measured folded fabric.
### Step 2: Hoop Your Material
Next, you will place the bottom half of your hoop on the table in front of you so that the adjustable corner with the knob is the furthest away from you.
After properly laying your material and stabilizer on top of the bottom half of the hoop that is on the table, you will take the top half of the hoop and in one swift motion, push it forward and down into the bottom half of the hoop to pop it into place. If pre-adjusted properly, there should be a little bit of resistance, but you shouldn’t be fighting with the top piece of the hoop to press it in.
> *Remember to not tighten the hoop by adjusting the knob after the fabric has already been hooped. I see this all the time with embroidery beginners; they first hoop very loosely, then aggressively turn the knob to tighten the hoop. Many even take screw drivers & tighten the hoop to the max. This is a huge waste of time, causes fabric burn, and is harmful towards your embroidery stitch out.*

Instead of tightening the hoop by turning the knob afterward, while the hoop is still on the table grab the material sticking out of the longer sides of the hoop and pull it gently. Then pick up the hoop and push the corners of the hoop in slightly, making it drum-tight and machine-ready.
That’s it, now you’re ready to place your hoop on your machine and start stitching!

## Hooping Tips, Tricks & Techniques
Now that you know how to hoop and the difference between commercial & home embroidery hoops, here are some helpful techniques and tricks that’ll help you tackle any embroidery hooping project:
### 1. Use the Correct Hoop Size
Simply put, you will always get the best results if you use a hoop that is closest in size to the [embroidery design](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-designs/) you are running. For example, if your design is 3.5 x 3.8, use a 4 x 4 hoop, not a 5 x 7.
This is a basic principle but surprisingly, quite a few embroiderers don’t follow it.
### 2. Use T-pins for Large Rectangular Hoops
If you ever need to secure your fabric in a large rectangular hoop, I suggest you use T-pins to hold the fabric securely in place.
> *Please note that this technique should only be used on stabilizers or fabrics that are not overly important to you as the T-pins may leave holes and mark them.*
>
> Author Name

> [Tweet](/)
For this technique, you’ll hoop your fabric as you normally would (see the tutorial section above for more details). Once this is complete, you’ll use T-pins to secure the stabilizer or fabric in place & stop any potential movement. The T-pins should be inserted where the stabilizer or fabric sticks out between the two hoop frames after being hooped. They should be inserted flush with the frame. This way, when the stabilizer or fabric begins to pull in around the loose areas of the frame, the T-pins will be there to catch against the frame and stop any movement.
We recommend inserting these T-pins around the long straight areas of hobbyist hoops as these sections are not held as tightly or securely. The corners will not require T-pins.
Here’s a quick video to show you the technique in action:
### 3. Use Double Sided Tape
Using double-sided tape is a great technique when dealing with sheer, slippery, or stretchy fabrics. The reason being that the stabilizer which touches the outside part of the hoop does its job as stated, its stability holds to the plastic part of the outer hoop. The issue of puckering within a design often occurs when the material touching the plastic of the inner hoop doesn’t grip the material. So, when you have one part holding securely and the other slipping, the result is distortion and puckering within the design.
Applying double-sided tape to the outside of the inner hoop where the material touches the hoop eliminates the slipping between the stabilizer and fabric and will give you much better results.
The best part is, the tape will work for multiple hoopings, until it loses its stickiness, then you simply remove and reapply a new piece. I’ve also found that it doesn’t harm or leave any residue to most fabric types. Essentially it does almost the same job as the t-pin technique but is less invasive to the fabric.
This technique is a win-win in my books.
Here’s a quick video to show you the technique in action:
### 4. Don’t Over-Tighten the Hoop
Remember not to over-tighten the hoop by aggressively adjusting the knob after the fabric has already been hooped. I see this all the time with embroidery beginners; they first hoop very loosely, then aggressively turn the knob to tighten the hoop. A finger-tight turn or two may sometimes be needed but never take a screwdriver & tighten the hoop to the max. This is a huge waste of time, causes fabric burn, and is harmful towards your embroidery stitch out.
Instead of tightening the hoop by turning the knob afterward, while the hoop is still on the table grab the material sticking out of the longer sides of the hoop and pull it gently. Then pick up the hoop and push the corners of the hoop in slightly, making it drum-tight and machine-ready. Remember that a simple finger-tight turn at the end may sometimes be required but not always. You don’t want a loose hoop allowing the fabric to slip but you certainly don’t want to damage your hoop or fabric by over-tightening.
## Floating Embroidery vs. Hooping: What’s the Difference?
I’ve seen a big movement recently where people are floating their embroidery. Floating in machine embroidery essentially means that the user hoops a piece of stabilizer and then places (floats) the material/item being embroidered onto the stabilizer.
I’m not a big fan, as this is not a one-size-fits-all way of hooping. My rule of thumb is if you can’t hoop an item, or if it is specifically digitized as an in-the-hoop project that requires you to float pieces of fabric, then you should float it. But as far as I’m concerned, it should be a last resort if the application is directed to a finished garment.
You will always get better results if you securely hoop your stabilizer and fabric. One of the biggest registration problems I see is things not lining up on well-digitized designs because the item was floated and not hooped securely.
If you need to float an item or material instead of hooping it, I strongly suggest extra measures are taken to ensure better results. These can include:
- **Hoop your stabilizer and pin your material to the hooped stabilizer.** It is simple and quick, but pins can leave marks on delicate fabrics, and slinky or stretchy materials need more support.
- **Hoop your stabilizer and tape your material to it.** This works well for small items like patches.
- **Hoop your sticky stabilizer.** Cut a window slightly larger than your embroidery area and stick down the fabric. This works well but can be costly.
- **Basting stitches.** This is an easy, stable way of aiding floating in the hoop. Simply digitize a framed running stitch around your embroidery area. Using long stitches makes it easier to remove them after your garment is finished embroidering.
*Be careful*; this can often cause damage to the base material. Stitching a basting box works well but remember, if you are working on vinyl, leather, or other materials, a basting box can leave marks.
- **Fusible stabilizer.** You hoop this stabilizer and then use a mini iron to secure the garment or project to the base in only that spot. *Caution:* this is permanent, so triple-check before that iron goes near the fabric!
- **Adhesive spray.** Be sure to spray on your stabilizer before hooping it. Spray adhesive and sticky stabilizers can leave a residue that gum up your machine and remain on the fabric. Always ensure you follow the package’s directions or can for the best results.

### When To Use The Floating Method In Machine Embroidery
If you decide to float your garments, here are some things to keep in mind:
- Float smaller projects such as patches, quilted pieces, socks, etc.
- Large garments are too heavy for floating and can get caught in a flatbed machine. Of course, you can float your garment but remember to keep watch throughout the stitching process to “tend” the garment.
- Floated in the hoop (ITH) projects

### [5 Main Types Of Machine Embroidery Thread & When To Use Them](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-threads/)
**Published:** August 11, 2025
**Author:** Embroidery Legacy
**Content:**
> Everything you need to know about thread when you’re just getting started

Machine embroidery is exciting, yet daunting for a newcomer. Beginners tend to overlook the importance of understanding the different machine embroidery thread types and how to use them. You’re here because you want to know more, to be better, and to improve your creative knowledge and abilities. You’ve come to the right place. We’ll cover polyester, rayon, cotton, silk, and the slightly notorious metallic threads, and when to apply them in your work.
## Think of Embroidery as a Recipe, and Threads as an Ingredient
Before we dive into threads, it is critical to understand that not all threads are alike, and not all machines are alike. Matching thread brand to machine and needle is like finding the perfect recipe. Some thread types and brands will work better with certain machines and needles.
It’s crucial to test your thread on a scrap of fabric first rather than your partners favorite shirt. Ensure that the material you’ll be testing on is the same as the material you’ll use for your project. Order a small amount of thread first for proper testing to see what works best with your machine and your creative intent.
### Polyester embroidery thread
> Polyester thread has become the industry standard and for a good reason. It is strong, durable, colorfast, and can even withstand chlorine bleach.

Polyester thread provides a sheen that makes your embroidery look professional and feel professional. This thread comes in a wide variety of colors and is known to run smoothly.
It is an excellent choice for general embroidery, especially outdoor clothing or children’s garments. We all know children are mess-free little angels but when they do make a mess, polyester will withstand the cleaning process.
The last thing any embroidery machine wants is a thread that continuously breaks. Your machine will be happy when using polyester thread in your projects. However, a polyester thread shouldn’t be used for all of your projects. I’ll explain further below.
### Rayon embroidery thread
> Rayon thread is a common choice due to its incredible selection of colors and high sheen, even more so than polyester.
>

> [Tweet](/)
Its only weakness is its strength when compared to polyester. Polyester has a much higher breaking point than rayon. That is why it is essential to test different rayon thread brands with your machine to see how they hold up with stitch intensive designs and high-speed stitching.
Generally, rayon thread still performs well during high-speed stitching. It is softer than polyester and is more suitable for intricate work or work with[ freestanding lace](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-tutorial-free-standing-lace/).
### Cotton embroidery thread
Where polyester and rayon pride themselves on a high sheen look, a cotton thread has a beautiful soft sheen. You can order cotton threads with a matte finish to further your creativity. It performs well in most machines, but again, it’s good to test it out to make sure it runs smoothly.
Cotton threads can be purchased in standard thickness, but they also come in very fine varieties, suitable for incredibly intricate and delicate work. Keep in mind that the finer the thread, the more likely it is to break while embroidering.
### Silk embroidery thread
Silk is luxurious and sought after in the fashion world, and is considered equally luxurious when it comes to machine embroidery. Silk thread is strong and fine, yet has a sheen and softness that is unmatched by both polyester and rayon.
For these reasons, silk thread can be expensive, and it might be challenging to acquire specific colors. It’s the thread you’ll want to use for high-end projects or embroidering on deluxe fabrics.
### Metallic embroidery thread
Ah yes, the thread that keeps on breaking. Metallic threads are notorious for breaking during embroidery and this can cause frustration!
Check out our video on how to change your thread without having to rethread the needle, save the irritation!
This problem can be easily fixed with a few adjustments to your spooling technique and by making sure to use a needle specific to metallic thread embroidery. **Click here to see a detailed explanation of how you can avoid metallic thread breakage.**
Metallic threads are composed of a central core that is wrapped in metals or foils and then dyed with the desired color. These strands tend to fall apart easily, which is where the integrity of the thread seems to fail. Picking up the high-quality metallic threads will reduce breakage when embroidering, and are worth the extra penny.

## A Brief Lesson on Machine Embroidery Thread Thickness
In the machine embroidery world, thread thickness is referred to by weight. The larger the number, the finer the thread, the easier it will break. Finer threads are good for heirloom quality embroidery, and thicker threads are better for general work.
For example, the standard thickness for rayon thread would be referred to as 40 wt thread. A 20 wt thread would be thicker, and a 60 wt thread would be finer. When choosing thread weight, it all depends on the desired result or purpose of your project.
For high quality, high detail designs over a small surface area, you might use a finer thread. For larger designs, maybe for materials that will be outdoors or in constant use, you might want a thicker thread.
> However, in general, 40 wt thread should be your normal go-to as most embroidery designs (including ours) are created with this thread weight in mind.

## So What Thread is the Best Machine Embroidery Thread?
If you’re hungry for an answer, it’s polyester. If you’re hungry for the right answer, it’s whatever thread you need to give your project the embroidering integrity and creative genius it deserves. Polyester is an excellent all-rounder, but rayon is more suitable for softer work. A metallic thread might break easily, but it’ll give your piece that additional flair it needs. Silk is expensive, but it’ll add a luxurious look and feel to your projects.
When it comes down to choosing the correct thread for your work, remember to test it first. It is always best to have all the colors you need from a brand you trust. It’ll save you time, money, and headache. [**To learn more tricks and tips regarding embroidery thread watch our video here.**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPSOp5NTey0&t=)
## What is a Bobbin Thread? Why Does it Matter?
Without a bobbin and its thread, you wouldn’t have a stitch. It’s an essential piece of any machine, and you cannot embroider without one. A bobbin is located directly under the needle. When the needle plunges through the fabric, the bobbin wheel creates a loop with your main thread and wraps it around the bobbin thread, then pulls it tight. That’s how you get a stitch.
Bobbin thread can be a different color than your embroidery thread, but you’ll want to be sure it matches or is close to matching the color of your piece. Bobbin thread is seen on the underside of your embroidery, and can sometimes shine through your design. Have you ever turned over some embroidery and seen that the color of the thread on the bottom doesn’t necessarily match the top?
Depending on what you are embroidering, there are a few different options in terms of colors for your bobbin thread. Generally, you want the color of your bobbin thread to match the color or color tone of your piece.
If you are embroidering a dark design, perhaps navy blue or black, you’ll want dark bobbin thread. If you’re embroidering a pale yellow or white, you’ll want a light bobbin thread. You can buy pre-wound bobbin thread in black and white to save time – you won’t have to wind it yourself.
If you want to ensure that your piece is flawless, you’ll want to use the same thread and color for your bobbin as you’d use for your embroidery. It might be hard to purchase pre-wound bobbins with the same thread as your embroidery thread, so you’ll have to wind it yourself. Most machines come with a bobbin winder, but if not, you can order one on Amazon.

## Which Machine Embroidery Thread Brand Do We Recommend?
After testing multiple thread brands over the past 60+ years, we’ve narrowed down our favorites to a few different brands we like best.
Currently, our top brand is Simthread. Although this brand may sound new to you, I can almost guarantee you’ve used their thread in the past… You see Simthread “white-labels” thread for a number of the industry’s most popular brands. So, instead of purchasing thread through one of these other companies and paying a mark-up because of the brand name, ordering through Simthread allows you to go “factory-direct.” Being industry tested for over 30 years now, Simthread comes in a range of beautiful colors and doesn’t break easily.
The best part? It’s also available on Amazon Prime so you can save on shipping costs and get your thread delivered quickly!
> [**Click here to learn more about Simthread using our official sponsor link**](https://amzn.to/3RmtB5L) (if you do end up ordering, please be sure to use this link so we get a small kickback… You’ll also get some free designs as an added bonus!).

Now our second favorite thread would be Robison Anton. Much like Simthread, it comes in a beautiful array of colors and is durable. What sets them apart in our books is that as far as we know, they’re the only thread brand still manufactured in the USA. So if you’re able to spend a bit more, why not support local?
## What’s Next? Start Testing Thread on Your Embroidery Machine
Now that you know how and when to better use some of your ingredients, you can start your recipe! Of course, before you can choose your thread type, you have to know what design you’re going to stitch out. But, please keep in mind:

### [Embroidery Digitizing Problems: How to Fix and Avoid Them](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-digitizing-problems-how-to-avoid/)
**Published:** May 1, 2026
**Author:** John Deer
**Content:**
Ever spent hours creating a design… only to stitch it out and see gaps, shifting outlines, tangled jump threads, or thread breaks? These are some of the most common machine embroidery digitizing problems. The good news is they usually come down to a few fixable settings.
This is a high-level overview of the most common digitizing issues in embroidery, so you can identify what’s going wrong fast and apply a quick fix.

- [The Fastest Way to Improve Results (Without Guessing)](#improve-results)
- [FAQ](#faq)
## Start Here: Match the Symptom (Quick Diagnostic)
Use your stitch-out symptoms to pinpoint the digitizing setting that needs adjustment. These symptoms usually point to a specific setting (or combination of settings).
- **Tangled “spiderweb” threads**: jump stitches + excess trims
- **Gaps / thin coverage**: push & pull compensation
- **Shifting / misaligned outlines**: underlay + stitch order + compensation
- **Thread/needle breaks**: density + overlap (also check tension)
- **Puckering / wavy fabric**: density + underlay + stitch angles
## Jump Stitches & Excess Trims
Jump stitches happen when the machine has to move from one area of the design to another without stitching in between. Trims are the thread cuts the machine makes to end one section before moving to the next. A few jumps and trims are normal — but too many can lead to messy results and slow stitch times.
**What it looks like**
- Excess trims and jump threads
- Tangled “spiderweb” thread between sections
- Messy cleanup on the back of the design
- Longer stitch time (especially frustrating on single-needle machines)
**Why it happens**
Most of the time, it’s a pathing issue:
- Pathing isn’t optimized from shape to shape
- Start/stop points aren’t aligned between objects
- The design keeps “stopping and jumping” instead of flowing logically
**Quick Fixes**
- Reduce trims by improving pathing and connecting shapes logically
- Use short travel stitches to connect areas where stitches will be covered later
- Digitize in a logical order (finish a section before jumping to another)
### **How to fix it faster in Embroidery Legacy Software**
While creating in your **[Embroidery Digitizing Software](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-software/)**, smart tools like these can speed up cleanup:
- Smart Join
- Auto Trim
- Auto Lock
Smart Join automatically adjusts start and stop points to improve connections between objects. This reduces unnecessary jump stitches and trims.
## Gaps and Thin Coverage
Gaps happen when coverage shrinks during stitching. Even when your shapes look like they touch on-screen, real fabric and thread tension can pull stitches inward.
**What it looks like**
- Visible gaps where shapes should meet
- Coverage looks thin or incomplete
- Satin columns don’t “seal” cleanly against edges
**Why it happens**
Most gaps come down to **[push-and-pull compensation](https://embroiderylegacy.com/push-pull-compensation-embroidery-digitizing/)** not being applied enough. In embroidery, thread tension and fabric movement are real, so your design needs compensation to stitch out as intended.
Fabric matters too: stretchier fabrics usually show the problem more.
**Quick Fixes**
- Increase pull compensation slightly and test
- Don’t “fix gaps” by blindly increasing density first
- Test on the real fabric + stabilizer combo you’ll actually use
### **Use Recipes to Stop Guessing**
One of the fastest ways to improve coverage (especially for beginners) is by using recipes. Built-in presets in Embroidery Legacy Software that help you start with proven settings instead of guessing.
Professional presets can save time because you don’t have to rebuild your setup from scratch every time.
## Misalignment and Shifting Outlines
Misalignment is when outlines don’t land where you expected, details drift, or shapes look “off” even though your artwork looks correct.
**What it looks like**
- Outlines don’t sit cleanly on top of fills
- Details drift or look offset
- Shapes shift during the stitch-out
**Why it happens**
This is usually caused by a combination of:
- Not enough (or incorrect) underlay
- Poor stitch pathing or stitch order
- Compensation issues that make movement more noticeable
### **Underlay basics**
Think of **[embroidery underlay](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-digitizing-underlay-digitizing/)** as the foundation of a house. It stabilizes the fabric and gives top stitches something to “hold onto,” especially on larger shapes.
In general, bigger shapes often need more underlay than small shapes.
### **Underlay types (keep it simple)**
Different underlays serve different purposes depending on the object:
- **Center Run / Edge Run** (light support for satin stitches and fine details)
- **Zigzag / Double Zigzag** (often used for extra support on wider satin stitches)
- **Tatami / Double Tatami** (commonly used under fill stitches)
## **Thread Breaks and Needle Breaks**
Thread breaks can feel random… but in digitizing, they often trace back to one thing: too much stitch stress in the same area.
**What it looks like**
- The thread snaps mid-stitch
- Needle breaks
- The thread pops out of the needle
**Why it happens**
Common digitizing causes include:
- Too many stitches are stacked in the same spot
- Overlapping fills that create extreme density (“bulletproof” designs)
- Underlay that’s either missing (unstable) or excessive (too thick)
**Quick Fixes**
- Avoid stacking duplicate fill shapes on top of one another
- Use a baseline density: **0.4 mm is a common fill starting point**
- Use an underlay where needed — not missing, and not excessive
**Don’t ignore the machine setup**
Some thread breaks are also caused by the embroidery setup:
- Machine tension
- Stabilizer choice and hooping stability
Digitizing and embroidery setup work together — fixing one without the other can still leave problems.
## **Puckering and Wavy Fabric**
[Puckering](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-puckering-prevention-in-machine-embroidery/) occurs when stitch tension draws the fabric inward, creating ripples around the design. It might not look terrible right away, but it often becomes more obvious after washing — especially on shirts.
**What it looks like**
- Fabric pulls and ripples around the design
- Warping or “wavy” areas after stitching
- Looks worse after washing/drying
**Why it happens**
Most puckering comes from:
- Density that’s too high for the fabric
- Missing or incorrect underlay
- Stitch angles and segments “fighting each other” (pulling in different directions)
**Quick Fixes**
- Reduce density to give stitches breathing room
- Use the right recipe for the fabric
- Keep fills consistent — a single fill direction/angle can stabilize the design
## **The Fastest Way to Improve Results (Without Guessing)**
Most machine embroidery digitizing problems trace back to five core settings. When you know what each one controls, troubleshooting becomes straightforward:
- **Connections** (reduces jump stitches and trims)
- **Compensation** (improves coverage and limits gaps)
- **Underlay** (stabilizes shapes and supports clean alignment)
- **Stitch order** (limits movement and distortion during stitching)
- **Density** (prevents thread breaks and puckering)
To achieve consistent results across different fabrics and designs, the fastest path is to learn the underlying digitizing theory. The [**Digitizing 101 Course**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-classes/digitizing-education/free-101-course/) breaks these settings down step by step so you can make confident adjustments rather than guess.
### **Next step: Use tools that simplify the process**
When you’re ready to apply those principles with less manual setup, **[Embroidery Digitizing Software](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-software/digitizing/)** was built with embroiderers in mind. It keeps the workspace clean and includes time-saving tools and presets that help streamline connections, underlay, and setup—without clutter.
## Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my embroidery design have so many jump stitches?
Poor pathing and weak connections create too many jump stitches. The design keeps stopping, trimming, and jumping between objects instead of flowing from one shape to the next.
What causes gaps in machine embroidery?
Gaps are commonly caused by insufficient push-and-pull compensation. Fabric movement and thread tension can shrink coverage, especially on stretchy materials.
What is pull compensation in embroidery digitizing?
Pull compensation expands the edge of a shape so stitches still meet cleanly after the fabric pulls during embroidery.
Why are my outlines misaligned?
Misaligned outlines usually come from three issues: underlay, stitch order, or compensation. When one is off, shapes can shift during stitching.
Why does my design keep breaking the thread?
Thread breaks often happen when the density is too high or when stitches overlap heavily in the same area. Machine tension and stabilizer/hooping stability can also contribute.
How do I stop puckering on t-shirts?
Reduce density, use the right underlay and fabric recipe, and keep stitch angles consistent. Shirts are stretchy, so stable settings matter even more.

### [Beginner Embroidery Guide to the Running Stitch](https://embroiderylegacy.com/running-stitch-embroidery-digitizing/)
**Published:** August 11, 2025

> In the beginning, there was the Running Stitch, and from that single stitch, all the other stitch types were formed.

Putting all theatrics aside, that statement is very true. Thirty-seven years ago, when I was trained as a Schiffli puncher (on the pantograph machine shown below), we produced designs one stitch at a time. Everything from outlining objects to satin stitches to fill stitches was done with a single stitch type, the running stitch! Even the creation of underlay in its various types was constructed one stitch at a time.
*Although today running stitches are mainly used for embroidery techniques like outlining, detail, and redwork embroidery designs… EVERY stitch type in existence stems from the basic running stitch.*
I know the thought of creating designs that way may seem to have been mind-numbingly dull, but the truth is it was anything but that! Every aspect of an embroidery design and each movement on the pantograph had to be thought out carefully to produce visually pleasing designs that were also production-friendly.
It’s important to realize that the theory behind the simplest stitch type in existence is now present in all the automated stitches that our software creates today. Keep in mind that machines are now far more precise than the Schiffli looms of yesteryear.

Considering that the Schiffli looms at that time had been manufactured in the 1930s and 1940s, they didn’t move with nearly the precision or speed that today’s machine frames do. This is mainly because these looms embroider on 20 yards of fabric at a time.
One of the most important things I had to consider as a Schiffli puncher was to ensure the machine always had adequate movement (minimum stitch length of 1.5mm) and never stitched in the same place more than once. Why? Because this creates what we call embroidery birds nests.

Having the loom stitch in the same place was a lot more of a critical issue than one you might experience nowadays. Currently, if you see a machine stitch in the same spot multiple times, you might get a little worried that you’ll create “hard” stitches on your machine, which could potentially lead to ‘birds nests’/thread breaks.
Today thread breaks are very irritating, and no one enjoys re-threading a machine, but it meant potentially creating hundreds of thread breaks simultaneously in the old days. I’m sure you can imagine it was pretty nerve-wracking. Plus, we used rayon thread back then, which is nowhere near as strong as polyester thread (currently the most popular and used thread of choice).

## Basic Rules of the Running Stitch In Machine Embroidery & Digitizing
> *Slowly but surely, my rules of working with the running stitch evolved over the years to adapt to today’s software and technology.*
>
> Author Name
>
> [Tweet](/)
Instead of 1.5mm of movement between thread penetrations, it is now .5mm. I do consider .5mm to be in the red/danger zone as when your machine stitches as the mass of the thread and needle is approximately .3mm. Too many .5mm stitches close together will eventually create hard stitches and unfriendly or distorted designs.
I like to consider 1mm of movement the yellow zone, it will get you out of the danger zone, but for the most part, I’m always trying my best to create 1.5mm of movement between stitch penetrations. 1.5mm is what I like to call the green zone, and it promotes production-friendly designs with minimal hard stitches.
There is a difference between the maximum stitch lengths of a running stitch, depending if you’re stitching on a wearable or non-wearable item. The maximum for wearable items is 7mm, any longer, and the stitches could snag if you were to lean against any rough objects, like a brick wall. The maximum for non-wearable items is 12.1mm. If you go over 12.1mm your machine’s trimmer will activate and cause your machine to stitch out “invisible embroidery”!
## How To Achieve The Perfect Running Stitch
As we’re now familiar with the running stitches’ minimum and maximum stitch lengths, we still have to keep in mind how stitch lengths are affected by the type of fabric the design is sewn on. This is especially relevant when it comes to underlay stitches (which once again are running stitches).
For example, the underlay stitch length on a cotton fabric would significantly differ when applied on terry cloth. The shorter stitch length applied to cotton would disappear into the knap of the terry cloth, making the underlay ineffective.
> *One word of advice I do have when it comes to controlling stitch penetration of the running stitch with today’s software is, you need to know how left-click (which are straight points) and right-click (which are curves) react while creating your running stitches.*
>

> [Tweet](/)
I’ve found that I have far more accurate control of the exact placement of my stitch penetration when I use my left click/straight inputs. When I use the curve/right-click, the software tends to input more stitches to account for the curve of the objects.
Here’s a quick video tutorial showing how this technique can improve the quality of your embroidery designs using your mouse or pen. Check out the video below:
I know this almost goes against what you learned if you’re familiar with using graphics programs for print, but always remember, ink is not our medium; thread has a physical mass and weight.
## The Running Stitch: Is Digitizing Theory Important?
I’ve always kept up with digitizing software, and I must admit that I’m blown away by what it’s evolved into! I wouldn’t believe you if you told me about today’s software’s capabilities back when I first started on that Schiffli loom all those years ago. Today’s software is now object-based in the same way graphics programs are.
> *Yes, objects, stitch types, and properties can be changed with the single click of a button now in embroidery software programs. Yet, you still need a solid foundation of old-school digitizing theory to understand what those properties are, what they do, and how to use them to create designs properly.*

To clarify, in the old days, I used to do details and realistic effects using running stitches as my fine tip paintbrush. The only issue is that when you want to resize a running stitch design 100% larger, it is still a running stitch and doesn’t account for the details needed for the increase in size. So now I find myself using the automation in the software to create objects that will translate more accurately. Am I throwing away the fundamental theory I learned when I was 17? By no means! I’m adapting to the tools within the software and controlling the stitch length (running stitches) within those properties. Why work harder when you can work smarter?
Knowing the old school theory behind embroidery and combining it with today’s modern software allows me to embroider without limits; virtually anything is possible! Even with the advances in today’s software the theory I was taught is still very relevant. Maybe even more so now, software developers are doing a great job at automating processes. But when things go wrong, and they will, it’s the old school theory that is needed to fix the issues. I wouldn’t be creating the designs I’m doing today without the theory I learned before embroidery software was even available.
I consider being born when I was an incredible blessing. It was a perfect time as I got to experience how embroidery was done 100 years ago yet also grow with the explosion of today’s modern software and technology. One thing I’m sure of is that the theory of yesterday is the foundation that empowers you to drive the software of today. Understanding the basics, even of the simplest stitch type/running stitch, is the first step to becoming an Embroidery Artist.
I even created a grand prize-winning design within the commercial industry using only the Running Stitch! It took me three days to draw and plan and a full day to digitize. Check out the video below:

### How Can You Learn The Running Stitch Theory?
Now I’ve been telling you how important it is to learn the theory behind the running stitch, but have you been wondered where you can learn it?
Digitizing can be scary for some. Maybe it’s new and intimidating, or perhaps you’ve been too overwhelmed and gave up. But we’re here to help! Anything is possible with the right education and teacher. We’ve taught thousands of beginners, just like you, all across the world how to digitize their own designs and use the running stitch, and we can teach you too!
Every existing stitch type is a variation of 1 of 3 stitch types; the running stitch, the satin stitch, the fill stitch. But to run, you must first walk. Learning about the running stitch and its theory is essential to using any other stitch type.
If you’re interested or looking to start your Digitizing journey, we’d be happy to assist you with making sure your footing is right to learn how to walk and then run. We highly suggest enrolling in our [**Digitizers Dream Course**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-classes/digitizing-education/) where we discuss the why and when to do things, while also teaching the age-old theory and secrets behind creating smooth running designs in a way that’s easy to understand.
One of the best parts is this course is done at your pace and there is no time limit to complete it, so don’t worry about feeling rushed. We’ve taught almost 10,000 people how to digitize (including a 93 year-old student!), so you can learn too!
We hope you’ll join us in our [**Digitizers Dream Course**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-classes/digitizing-education/) to learn how to digitize with the three primary stitch types, as we dig further into theory, to help you create embroidery designs creating visually stunning results.
## Conclusion: The Running Stitch Is Most Basic Embroidery Stitch Type… But Incredibly Important!
In conclusion, the running stitch is the most basic of stitch types. Mainly used for embroidery techniques like underlay, outlining, detail, and redwork embroidery designs.
It’s important to remember the rules of the running stitch, and it’s stitch lengths:
**Red Zone: .5mm** -The mass of the thread and needle is .3mm, remember too many stitches close together at .5mm, and you’ll create a bird’s nest / hard embroidery!
**Yellow Zone: 1mm** -1mm is playing it somewhat safe, and it will get you out of the danger of hard embroidery designs.
**Green Zone: 1.5mm** -1.5mm is your safest bet. As it truly promotes production-friendly designs with minimal hard stitches.
Remember, there is a difference between the maximum stitch lengths of a running stitch depending on if you’re stitching on a wearable or no wearable item. If you’re stitching on a **wearable item, 7mm is your max stitch length**. If your stitches are any longer than 7mm they could snag if you lean against any rough/coarse objects, like a brick wall, for example.
If you’re stitching on a **non-wearable Items, 12.1mm is your max stitch length**. If you were to go over 12.1mm, your machine’s trimmer will automatically activate and cause invisible embroidery!

Whether you’re going trick or treating or just doing a candy hunt in the backyard, you’re going to need something to keep all that candy in. If you’re looking for a quick, easy, and budget-friendly Halloween trick or treat bag, keep reading…
## Why create this embroidered DIY Halloween trick or treat bag?
This easy Halloween trick or treat bag will hold the most important thing for your child this Halloween. Their candy!
Each child picks out their own unique Halloween costume, so why not make them a unique and personalized trick or treat bag to go with it? You can choose a custom fabric and embroidery designs based upon your child’s costume. If your child is going out as a creepy-crawly spider, you could create a yellow fabric bag with spider web and bug embroidery designs on it. If you have a magical princess, you could use purple fabric with some cute mylar pony embroidery designs.
An extra touch would be to embroider your child’s name or initials onto their trick or treat bag. It’s easier to guess who’s candy bag is whose, which will save you from the dreaded “no, this one’s mine” fight. Plus, making instead of ordering and buying a custom bag, can save you a lot of money. (Keep scrolling as we share an easy way to add quality embroidered lettering with just a few clicks of a button!)
Making this easy personalized trick or treat bag from home is budget-friendly, and you can ensure the quality is to your standards. If you need to get fabric from your local sewing store, you won’t need much material to create this project. Creating this bag can be very cost-efficient if you already have a fabric stash (I’m guilty too!), where you can grab fabric pieces you may have leftover from previous projects. If you don’t have enough of one kind of fabric, use two different fabric styles to make your trick or treat bag even more unique. No one will know, and because they’re intended for fun, it’ll look intentional.
Making your own Halloween trick or treat bag will also save you a run to the store. Although shopping used to be a fun pastime, events have changed in recent months, and doing whatever you can from home can be safest.

### [Machine Embroidery Terms and Definitions Every Embroiderer Should Know](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-digitizing-terms-and-definitions/)
**Published:** August 11, 2025
**Author:** Embroidery Legacy
**Content:**
Hello class! Take your seats. It’s time for a little classroom time on embroidery terminology. Be prepared to learn whether you are new or old to the embroidery world! Knowing the terminology is important to participate in discussions, ask questions, get answers and fully understand the context discussed.
This article is not to provide all the terms to you (though we will!) or to replace valuable tools like our free Digitizing 101 Course, but to build your education and make you the best embroiderer you can be.

Let’s discuss where terms come from, machine embroidery definitions, and how to find more information to deepen your embroidery knowledge. So put on your thinking caps, get your bag lunches ready, and recess will be at your machines having FUN!
## Machine Embroidery Terminology
Names for embroidery stitches both by hand and by machine are as different as there are stars in the sky! They come from what stitches look like, the machines that make them, and what they do.
### Machine Embroidery Historical Terms
We have all heard stitch names we did not understand. Some we figured out, like “bean stitch” (looks like a bean) or satin stitch, but many of the older names for embroidery stitches are drawn from the world around us.
Historical embroidery terms were most often drawn from the world around us and described what we saw. Tatami stitch looks like the tatami mats in Japan used on the floor. Vermicelli is another great example; not just a plate of yummy Italian pasta, Vermicelli (worms in Italian) is the name for a meandering fill stitch.
### Machine Embroidery Modern Terms
Modern embroidery terms often come from the machine that stitches them. Merrow Machines, for example, create a wonderful clean edge on patches and emblems. Likewise, Schiffli machines create lace, Cornely Machines create chain stitch and chenille; all have inspired embroidery stitches in modern machines.
Though we can’t define ALL the terms you will encounter, let’s attempt to round up all those definitions and put them in a handy place where beginners and old-timers alike can refer to them. We have amassed terms and divided them into categories to make them more easily found and understood.

### [How to Spot Bad Embroidery Artwork (Before Wasting Time)](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-digitizing-artwork/)
**Published:** August 11, 2025
**Author:** Embroidery Legacy
**Content:**
If you’ve just started learning how to digitize, you’re probably starting with the lesson artwork while you learn the tools. Then the real moment hits: you want to digitize your own artwork (or a customer’s logo).
Here’s the truth: Artwork that looks perfect on screen can stitch poorly because embroidery uses thread, not ink. Unlike screen printing, the thread has thickness and limitations, so detailed artwork often needs to be simplified or given more space to stitch cleanly.
In this guide, I’ll give you a fast, repeatable way to judge artwork before you digitize, so you get cleaner stitch-outs with less frustration.
> Want to start digitizing? Our **[Free Digitizing 101 Course](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-classes/digitizing-education/free-101-course/)** teaches the core digitizing theory step by step.

## What Artwork Works Best for Embroidery Digitizing?
The best artwork is simple, high-contrast, and built from clean shapes with clear borders. Embroidery uses thread, not ink, so you often need to simplify small details so they stitch properly.
Most artwork is print-ready, not stitch-ready. Think of it like trying to paint the Mona Lisa on a matchbook: when the space shrinks, the detail has to change.
## **The Digitizer’s Biggest Question: Is the Artwork Machine-Friendly?**
Corporate logos can be some of the trickiest designs to digitize. You can’t “redesign” them without risking brand consistency – especially with bigger companies that protect every detail.
I’ve seen that firsthand while working with larger brands like John Deere and Harley-Davidson. Oftentimes, for corporate customers, they’ll review stitching, spacing, and tiny details differently depending on whether it’s going on a cap, a left chest, or a jacket back.
I actually remember Harley-Davidson pulling out a ruler on the finished items to make sure their logo was spaced perfectly when stitched. But with so much power behind their brand, I understood why.
At the same time, the design still has to run cleanly and efficiently on an embroidery machine. When artwork isn’t embroidery-friendly, you’ll see it in the stitch file: awkward mapping, extra tie-ins, and too many trims. Trims don’t just affect the look; they also slow production, which can affect profitability.
So the question I’m always asking is simple: is this artwork machine-friendly? If it isn’t, the fix usually starts long before you touch a stitch setting in your software; it starts with the artwork.
## Stitch Friendly Artwork Checklist
Before you spend time digitizing (or quoting a commission), run the artwork through this quick checklist. If you can’t confidently say “yes” to most of these, expect to clean up the art first.
Checklist Item What you’re looking for If it fails, what to do ✅Clean outlines/borders Clear edges you can follow with stitches Add/clean an outline, simplify jagged edges ✅Limited tiny details Details are visible at the final size Remove micro-details or increase design size ✅Strong contrast The subject stands out from the background Increase contrast, remove busy background ✅Simple shapes Shapes read cleanly without shading Convert shading into shapes or simplify areas ✅Text legibility at final size Letters stay open and readable Increase size, use a simple font, thicken strokes ✅Consistent stroke thickness Lines aren’t hair-thin in some spots Thicken lines, reduce overly thin strokes ✅Minimal overlapping micro-elements Elements don’t stack in tight areas Merge shapes, reduce layers, create spacing ✅Work at intended dimensions They still look good at the final stitch size Resize art first, then adjust details to match
**Verdict: Based on Your Checklist Results**
✅ Digitize as-is
- The artwork is clean, bold, readable, and already fits the final size.
👀 Digitize with refinement
- The artwork is workable, but needs cleanup
🔧 Recommend redesign/ different style
- The artwork is workable, but needs cleanup
## **One Rule That Fixes Most Problems**
If you remember only one thing, remember this:
The thread can’t hold tiny details at small sizes, so overly detailed art won’t stitch cleanly.
That means you have two smart options:
1. Simplify the artwork (fewer tiny details, thicker lines, clearer shapes), or
2. Make the design larger so the details have space to stitch cleanly.
## How to Prep Artwork Before You Import It
Prepping artwork before you import it saves time and prevents frustration. Most digitizing problems start with the artwork, but a few smart adjustments can prevent most issues.
### ***5 Prep Moves That Fix 80% of Problems***
1. **Simplify tiny details**: If a detail only reads when zoomed in, it likely won’t survive being stitched out in thread.
2. **Increase contrast:** Make the subject clearly stand out from the background.
3. **Thicken thin lines:** Hairline strokes often break up or disappear in stitches.
4. **Remove background noise:** Remove textures, shadows, gradients, and clutter behind the subject.
5. **Confirm the final size first:** Set your artwork to the final stitch size before you digitize. Smaller sizes need simpler shapes and wider spacing, and digitizing at the intended size gives you cleaner, more accurate results.
## **What Kind of Artwork Do You Have?**
Different artworks require different approaches; use the guide below to pick the right next step.
- **Photos**
- *Realistic results usually require simplification or larger sizes.*
- **Line Art**
- Clean, stitch-friendly designs (Redwork, sketch styles).
- **Cartoons**
- Bold shapes and strong outlines that read well at smaller sizes.
- **3D Puff**
- **[**Digitizing 3D Puff**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/3d-puffy-foam-embroidery-digitizing-tutorial/)* creates a raised dimension using simple shapes and strong borders.*
- **Logos**
- *Crisp edges and readable text; brand consistency matters* when **[digitizing logos.](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-digitize-a-logo-for-embroidery-step-by-step-guide/)**
- **Floral**
- **[Digitizing floral embroidery](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-digitizing-flower-embroidery-designs/)** designs uses natural shapes that translate well into satin and fill stitches.
## Conclusion
Great embroidery begins with one smart choice: the artwork.
When you choose stitch-friendly designs (or prepare them properly), digitizing your art becomes cleaner, easier, and far more predictable. When you adapt artwork to the realities of thread, fabric, and size, you can digitize almost anything.
Stop guessing and start creating cleaner stitch-outs with confidence. Our [Free Digitizing 101 Course](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-classes/digitizing-education/free-101-course/) teaches the core theory that makes designs stitch well. From artwork prep and stitch types to underlay, density, and smart pathing. Building the foundation behind reliable, professional results.

### [Push & Pull Compensation | Embroidery Digitizing](https://embroiderylegacy.com/push-pull-compensation-embroidery-digitizing/)
**Published:** August 11, 2025
**Author:** John Deer
**Content:**
You’ve heard of push and pull compensation in machine embroidery, and you know it’s essential, but when someone talks about it, do you feel like they’re explaining rocket science to you?
It can sound confusing, but it’s really not! We’re here to help explain! Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced digitizer, learning theory is critical to producing quality stitched out embroidery results.
> *There is a general rule in digitizing a design: What you see on screen isn’t what you’re going to get when the design sews out! In fact, if the design looks perfect on screen, you can almost bet that it won’t sew out properly.*

## What is Push and Pull Compensation In Embroidery Digitizing?
Since the early days of embroidery, all machines have created stitches in the same manner. There is a top thread and a bobbin thread which both have tension. Once both these threads intersect with the timing of the machine’s needle scarf and bobbin hook, they pull on each other to create a flat stitch.
Without tension on both the top and bottom threads, the embroidery would not sit flat and have a loose and loopy appearance. This is known as embroidery distortion and occurs due to tension issues on the embroidery machine.
**Distortion happens because of how the top and bobbin threads react to each other when applied to different fabric types. The name of this reaction is most commonly referred to as “push and pull compensation.”**

Stitches in a satin column have a pulling effect, making the column slightly thinner when it sews out. The open end of the satin column, which is any that you could slide a pin under, is where the push effect will come into play. When push and pull come into play, the width of the thread and the density of the stitches distorts the fabric.
Are you more of a visual learner? Watch our YouTube video below as John dives into push & pull compensation in embroidery digitizing.
## Pull Compensation for Embroidery Digitizing
Pull compensation is a tool that is built into your [**embroidery software**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-software/digitizing/). When it’s activated, your software will overthrow the width of the column stitch.
With most software programs, you’re able to control the amount of pull compensation you want for the designed object you’re digitizing. You must understand when and why you need to adjust this setting.
**The rule of thumb is, the wider the stitch, the more pull compensation you need to apply.** Why? Because the wider the stitch is, the more the tension of the top and bottom threads will increase to create a flat stitch on the fabric.
The image above shows how as the column width increases, you also need to increase the settings for the pull compensation. You’ll notice that a 2mm column width has only .15mm of pull compensation applied and will incrementally increase to the point that the 7mm column has a .3mm of pull compensation.
The wider the stitch, the more pull compensation you’ll need to apply. Please keep in mind that these rules are not set in stone. Another factor that will affect the amount of pull compensation is the type of material being embroidered on. As an example, denim will require much less pull compensation than stretchy terry cloth.
Pull compensation is an excellent tool within your software because it makes digitizing much easier if you understand the theory behind it. In the days before software, we manually overthrow every stitch to adjust the column width. I remember it being a very tedious process.
## Push Compensation for Embroidery Digitizing
The “push” that occurs is, unfortunately, something that the software does not control automatically. The trick for learning how to control the “push” takes a bit of time and practice to grasp and is largely tied into digitizing at a consistent scale.
> *For this reason, and if you haven’t already, I highly suggest you [**click here to check out my Digitizer’s Dream Course.**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-classes/digitizing-education/) It’ll teach you my “golden rule” for digitizing designs at scale and how to master applying for proper push compensation by interactively creating designs yourself.*
>

> [Tweet](/)
When you manually adjust “push compensation,” you need to cut or pull the object nodes back a bit into the direction of the stitches being created.
So the question is, how much do I cut back the node of the object from the open end while I’m digitizing on screen? Usually, the rule is you want to place your inputs about one stitch short (approximately .4mm) from how the artwork appears on the screen.
By digitizing at a consistent scale, the amount you cut short always stays the same, and you won’t be guessing as you would if you were constantly zooming in and out at different scales on screen.
Like most of the rules associated with embroidery, this rule can change in different circumstances.
For instance, let’s say you are creating a satin stitch and then placing a running stitch around it to create the effect of an outline in a different color. In this circumstance, you would cut back the satin stitch nodes by two stitches (approximately .8mm) and then digitize the running stitch, placing your running stitch points exactly to the artwork.
If you cut back the satin stitch too much, you might see a gap between the two colors of stitches. That satin stitch thread might extend past the running stitch and look like mistakes if you don’t cut it back enough. **Again, much of this is covered more in-depth in our [Digitizer’s Dream Course](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-classes/digitizing-education/), but for now, please understand that there is no one size fits all approach to every design you plan to create.**
## Practice Push and Pull Compensation Yourself
**One of the easiest exercises to practically understand push and pull compensation is to digitize a perfect circle using a long satin stitch.**
Remember: the longer the stitch, the more it pulls. First, digitize your points following the artwork exactly; you will see a perfect-looking satin stitch circle on screen. Now take this design and run it on your machine; the result will be an object that stitches out looking like an egg! The embroidery has distortion because of the push and pull compensation.
Now I want you to digitize the circle again. This time I want you to cut back on the open ends on the top and bottom and exaggerate the points on either side of the direction of the stitch. On screen you’ll see what looks like a sideways egg; now, when you run this file on your embroidery machine, guess what? It will stitch out looking like the original artwork, and the result will be a perfect embroidered circle.
## Push and Pull Compensation in Action
One of the easiest ways for me to see if a digitizer understands push and pull compensation is to examine the lettering they have digitized. I’m not talking about keyboard text or fonts that are built into your software or machine.
If you don’t use the push and pull rules when creating lettering, you end up seeing text that looks very sloppy and uneven. We call it a dancing baseline. This is when all the letters look uneven, and some appear larger and smaller than others. The point is, you can’t digitize the text exactly the way you see them on your screen. The letter “L” has two open ends, a “T” has three, a “P” has one, and an “O” doesn’t have any.
This is the reason why the majority of software keyboard lettering sometimes works and sometimes doesn’t. What people forget is that someone physically digitized that font in the first place.
Depending on the software they used, it could just be an [**embroidery font**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-fonts/) that is made up of stitch files that have been converted to keystrokes (like font packs sold as stitch files or the majority of the keyboard fonts out there). When those types of fonts are resized, they tend to lose their visual integrity quickly.
Any created font is only as good as both the digitizer and the software they use. If the digitizer is inexperienced and hasn’t correctly applied the push and pull rules, then it goes without saying that the quality of the embroidery design will be compromised.
**Push and pull will affect fill stitches more dramatically because fills are used for covering large areas—the larger the area, the more stitches.**
The more stitches, the more the design will distort when applied to fabric. This is usually why digitizers will try to put a satin stitch border around a fill area, to compensate for how a fill can distort an object. Even when you digitize a fill with a border, you should still make “push and pull” adjustments for the fill before you digitize the satin stitch.
In the example below, no compensation or overlap was applied to the fill area. The result is poor registration: you can see the fabric showing between the two stitch types because of the pull.
Now, look at the next example. Even though it’s overlapping about halfway around the satin stitch, you could experience the same problem as the first example if you are embroidering on sheer fabrics or fabrics with a lot of stretch.
In this last example, you can see how I exaggerated my overlap to coincide with the direction of the stitches and cut back the shape in relation to the open ends.
My nodes on the open ends line up to the bottom of the satin stitches. I know there will not be any gaps where fabric shows through. The laws of “push and pull” assure me that the top and bottom “push” will fill in the blanks. I’m also exaggerating the fill almost to the outer edge of the satin stitch, which means I’ll be safe no matter what type of fabric I want to use.
**With regards to satins with running stitch borders as well as fills with satin borders, the key to success is always to keep the outlines and borders true to the artwork. Always adjust the “push and pull” compensation with the stitches that are on the inside.**

Hopefully we’ll all agree that choosing embroidery and applique over silk screening definitely has more visual appeal on a set of team jerseys. Unfortunately, we’ll also agree that the pricing differences are also just as dramatic.
Like anything within embroidery production, the first and most important step is within the digitizing process. A proper understanding of how it will relate to in-house production is the key. If you are presently immersed in the corporate mindset when digitizing designs, you’re probably producing embroidery files that are programmed for left chest and cap applications. It’s funny but smaller corporate logos are for the most part more critically scrutinized and need appropriate densities, details and outlines to be considered quality work.
If you digitize athletic uniform designs with the same techniques as your corporate work you’ll find that your designs might be visually appealing but not cost effective for this market, as stitch counts get quickly out of control. When I digitize for this medium the standard logo is usually 14 inches in width and I find myself switching gears when this type of work comes in-house. You need to first look at your artwork and discern how you can keep quality while keeping the final stitch count as low as possible.
## The Applique Solution for Keeping Stitch Counts Low
Some of you may not like the sound of this, but in this market using appliques is your best friend for staying competitive. Our first step is to assess the artwork for large coverage areas that can be replaced with multiple appliques as opposed to using fill stitches.
## Key Digitizing Techniques to Reduce Stitch Count
The major things to consider when digitizing is that you don’t need as much underlay for these large designs within your fill and column stitches, if you digitize these logos with the same values as you do left chest designs you’ll find that you can add thousand of unnecessary stitches. You can also slightly decrease your densities within your stitch types as well, because these designs are so large and the applique fabric is very stable you’ll find that using too much density will actually work against you by promoting movement. With corporate logos I’m always looking to outline my fill areas with column stitches to promote clean edges, this can also at times be overlooked to help keep the stitches down.
## Using Tackle Twill and Zig-Zag Stitch Methods
Probably the most cost-effective way is to use the tackle twill or zig-zag stitch method whenever possible. This can enable you to do a 14-inch full front design while keeping the stitch count extremely low, the Densmore design has under 7000 stitches.
Even multi-color appliques tend to usually fall under the 15000-stitch mark, making it an easy sell to the customer. Digitizing tackle twill is pretty unforgiving, with little margin for error; extra care needs to be taken while laying down your points. The only other bits of advice that I have for effectively using tackle twill is that you should use your column tool with a low density as opposed to the zig-zag tool within your software. The reason being is that the zig-zag function doesn’t always properly assess your corners or places that meet to a point, it has a tendency to miss crucial stitches. While using your loose column stitch you will also need to make sure that you also double up your stitches at any points with straight edges, this will ensure the long-term wear-ability of the design.
## One-Step vs Two-Step Production Methods
It all comes down to how much the customer is willing pay for the work being done. Using a column stitch applique looks cleaner and is easier to program for, but the stitch count will increase.
Multiple applique column stitch designs can often be done as a one step process directly on your garment making them more production friendly.
In other situations more detailed designs with multiple appliques and higher stitch counts may need to be done in two steps, these designs may need to be run in their entirety as a patch that will later be stitched onto the garment. If you are embroidering through three or four layers of applique material you have a greater tendency for hard stitches while embroidering it as one process directly on the garment can run the risk of damaging goods. Running these designs on a piece of Pelon first and then creating an applique file to apply them to the garment afterward is much safer.
## How to Digitize Split Front Designs: The 14-Inch Rule
Now for the part everyone’s been waiting for, the dreaded split front. If any of you have had to start from scratch I’m sure you might have spent a couple hours and a lot of machine time playing with formulas that work consistently. When I start dealing with embroiderers just getting involved with doing split fronts, I try and get them in the mindset of a 14 inch rule whenever possible. Having consistency with setting up and digitizing for split fronts will save you time, especially when setting up the artwork. This method has worked consistently over the years and is easy for the machine operators to adapt to.
The most important step as always is properly prepping your artwork; a 14-inch design will always end up being 15 ¾ inches for digitizing and production purposes. First you need to set your split line on your artwork, which tells the machine operator where to lay down both sides of the garment. The right side of the garment is what you will digitize first, digitizing 7 ¾ to allow for ¾ overlap when the garment is buttoned up.
When you split the artwork leave 1 of space to allow for the buttoned seam area of the left side of the garment, then finish digitizing the left side, which is a 7-inch area. The extra ¾ inch area that you digitized first on the right side will end up covering the same distance on the left side when its buttoned up and you’ll have a perfect split front. I’ve included detailed images of the art setup measurements and a captured jpeg of the stitch file to further explain the process.
The only part of the process that you’ll need to do after the garment comes off the machine is to fold over the applique material at edge of the right seam and manually stitch it with a zig-zag machine.
This can be attempted while on the embroidery machine but it’s generally more trouble than it’s worth.
Many new embroiderers might feel intimidated to get into this market because of the size of the designs and the seemingly complicated process. But if you take the time to learn to properly digitize for the medium and how to apply it to production, it’s yet another great way to tap into a lucrative niche market.

## What You’ll Need for Your Potato Pocket Project
Materials include:
[](https://embroiderylegacy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/PotatoMaterials.png)- Four pieces of 10×10 inch Neutral or “potato brown” cotton fabric
- An old towel cut into two 10×10-inch pieces
- One 10×10 inch piece of contrasting cotton lining material
- Embroidery stabilizer – we used cutaway
- Embroidery thread – please do NOT use metallic thread as it can not be used in high-heat settings
- Temporary embroidery spray
## How to Create Your Potato Pocket in Design Doodler
**Step 1:** Open a new workspace in your Design Doodler software. Doodle a potato-shaped outline using a run stitch. We’re using a 10×10-inch hoop and positioned it diagonally to make it larger. (You can make your potato as small or large as you’d like)
[](https://embroiderylegacy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/potatodoodlerstep1.jpg)**Step 2:** Doodle your SPUD eyes! We used a fill free-form fill shape and drew them.
[](https://embroiderylegacy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/potatodoodlerstep2.jpg)**Step 3:** Insert lettering from the lettering tool. We select the lettering tool, and in the “properties” tab, we edit the text from “TEXT” to “SPUD”. You can grab it and move it in place, and use the rotation arm to align it the way you want.
[](https://embroiderylegacy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/potatodoodlerstep3.png)**Step 4:** Duplicate the first potato-shaped outline in the running stitch. This line will come last and act as a tack-down line. We chose a double-run stitch for more stability.
[](https://embroiderylegacy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/potatodoodlerstep4.png)[](https://embroiderylegacy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/potatodoodlerstep4a.png)Save your design as your required machine file format.
Pretty easy, huh? It is *just* as easy to stitch this cute spud out!
## How to Embroider Your Potato Pocket
**Step 1:** We’ll start by hooping a piece of cutaway stabilizer to create the two sides of the back.
**Step 2:** Cut one of the 10×10-inch towel pieces in half, resulting in two 5×10-inch pieces.
[](https://embroiderylegacy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/potatoembroiderystep2.jpg)**Step 3:** Lightly spray one of the 10×10-inch brown/neutral cotton fabric squares with temporary embroidery spray, then lay the towel piece halfway. Fold over the fabric, and you’ll have a towel piece sandwiched by fabric.
**Step 4:** Create two of these flaps and set them aside.
[](https://embroiderylegacy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/potatoembroiderystep4.jpg)**Step 5:** For the body, hoop a medium-weight cutaway stabilizer.
**Step 6:** FLIP the hoop over and secure the lining material on the back of the hoop using temporary spray and tape if needed.
**Step 7:** Lightly spray with a temporary spray and place the remaining 10×10 inch towel piece on it.
[](https://embroiderylegacy.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/pocket-potatoes.jpg)[](https://embroiderylegacy.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/pocket-potatoes.jpg)**Step 8:** Place a square of the neutral/brown material in the hoop over the towel piece (the hoop is still upside down).
**Step 9:** Insert into the machine and stitch through all but the last tack down line.
[](https://embroiderylegacy.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/potato-pockets.png)**Step 10:** Remove your hoop from the machine and lay the two back flaps diagonally over the stitching surface (these will be your opening pockets).

Have you noticed the days are getting shorter and the nights are cooler with the anticipation of seeing beautiful fall leaves? Can’t wait for the fall leaves? Neither can we!
We’ve got a “twofer” for you today; some gorgeous autumn leaves you can make in a free-standing lace style and use as stylish jewelry.
Today we have a project that uses very simple materials to make a dangling leaf necklace and an elegant cuff bracelet adorned with the best autumn colors.
## Why Create These Easy Colorful Autumn Leaves
With holidays of every kind coming up, we often turn our thoughts to gifts we can buy for people we care about. The holidays, however, have become an Olympic sport of buying, wrapping, and hiding gifts; seeing who can get the best deals on the most “stuff.”
Holidays are traditionally a crafter’s paradise, so why not combine amazing gifts with your artistic skill and make really *meaningful* gifts for those on your list?
The beauty of these two projects is that you don’t need expensive materials; in fact, you might find some materials you would normally discard, but they can be repurposed. Once you get the hang of this technique, you will have endless possibilities. So if you are ready to dive into autumn projects, so are we!!
These leaves can be easily created and stitched out with several designs in the hoop to save fabric, stabilizer, money, and time, so make sure when you set up your leaves that you fill your hoop and get the most out of your space.
## Supplies Needed For These Easy Embroidered DIY Autumn Leaf Necklace and Cuff
- Organza fabric
- Water Soluble [**stabilizer** ](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-use-machine-embroidery-stabilizer/)
- Polyester [**embroidery thread** ](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-threads/)
- Gold **metallic ****thread**
- Craft felt
- Crafting chain of your choice
- Pre-made neck wire necklace (usually comes in a 3-pack)

We used some organza left over from Valentine’s Day in this project! It came wrapped around a pot but looked too good to toss out. We used a bright fuchsia color which you might think is a crazy choice, but have you *looked* at autumn leaves? They are FULL of color! Pinks, yellows, green, purple, red, and brown in every combination.
Remember that when you put these all together, the crazy green outline over pink, or the brown over pink, will all be part of a colorful necklace.
We pulled out some shiny gold woven material for the gold cuff bracelet. When stitched out with gold metallic thread, these leaves are lush and rich and can be used on more than today’s project. Truly *almost any* fabric could be used on this free-standing lace so never say never when looking at potential materials.
## Colorful Autumn Leaves Free Standing Lace Jewelry Tutorial
We’ll start with how to set up your project.
In this project, we used several [**3D** ](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-design-collection/3d-effects-fall-leaves/)**embroidery **[**leaves**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-design-collection/3d-effects-fall-leaves/), which we resized slightly for the necklace. The leaves come in 2 sizes, large and small; you can use one large leaf as a statement piece or as many smaller leaves of varying sizes to create your jewelry masterpiece.
### How To Digitize 3D Leaves For Your Jewelry Project
1\) Choose and download your **3D Autumn ****Leaf**** design**
2\) Insert the design into your [**embroidery software**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-software/digitizing/).
3\) Resize the design.
> *On this particular design, you may resize up to 25% but no smaller as it can affect the satin lines. In general, do not resize designs more than 10% for best results*

4\) Digitize a small satin stitch loop and place it on the leaf in the best placement for hanging the leaf.
5\) Fill your hoop with leaves to make the best use of your materials but leave at least ½ an inch in between the leaves, so you have room to cut them out.
6\) Make sure to order the stitch sequence out so all the green, red, etc., are grouped- this will save time during your stitch out.
That is it! These are “Plug and Play” designs that can be used over and over again!
Once you have your design set up (save it for later with your designs), you are ready to hoop the fabric for your leaves. We have decided to use some leftover pink organza material that covered an orchid pot on Valentine’s Day.
### How To Hoop & Embroider Your 3D Leaves
7\) Lay your hoop base on a stable surface.
8\) Lay a piece of organza on the hoop.
9\) Lay a piece of water-soluble stabilizer over your first layer of organza.
10\) Lay the second piece of organza on top of the stabilizer to create a fabric “sandwich.”
11\) Apply the top hoop and place it in the machine (try not to over-stretch the material).
12\) Stitch your design.
13\) When completed, remove the fabric from the hoop and hold it under warm running water to dissolve the stabilizer.
> *Do not wash out all the stabilizer as you need the stiffening effect to make lovely, crisp leaves.*

14\) When they’re dry, carefully cut out your leaves as close as possible to the leaf edge but do not cut through the stitching.
### Assembling Your 3D Embroidery Leaf Necklace
1\) Measure 5 pieces of craft chain; 2 short, 2 medium, and 1 long. In this example, we used 3, 5, and 7-inch long pieces.
2\) Attach your leaves using pliers and jump rings to the craft chain one every 1-2 inches. You can alter this to your taste.
3\) When your chains are complete, attach them to the neck wire alternating with a bead. If they are too close, use two or more beads to space them out.
4\) THAT’S IT!!! You’re ready to hit the town or be the best-dressed person at the office.

### How To Embroider Your Cuff
1. Digitize an outline rectangle 2 inches wide and 8 inches long. (Remember, you can do more than one at a time!) This will be your placement line (we make ours red to start).
2. Copy that (or those) outline(s) and paste them in place. These second lines will become your outline.
3. Change the second running stitch outline to a 4mm (0.15 in) satin line and change to the color of your choice
4. Digitize a smaller running stitch outline inside your border and change it to a Leaf Motif found in the “Outdoors” section of the leaf motifs. These motifs change a single line to wonderful pre-designed shapes and objects to really jazz up your design.
Your design sequence should look like this:
5\. You’re ready to stitch!
### To Stitch Out Your Embroidered Cuff
1. Hoop a piece of medium-weight tear-away stabilizer.
2. Cut a piece of vinyl that is 3×9 inches.
3. Place in the machine and stitch out the placement line.
4. Using temporary embroidery adhesive spray, tack the vinyl using the placement line as a guide.
5. Return the hoop to the machine.
6. Finish your stitching.
 7. Remove from the machine.
8\. Remove the excess tear-away stabilizer.
9\. In a well-ventilated room ***away from your machine,*** spray the back of your vinyl cuff with ***permanent*** adhesive spray. Also, spray the piece of felt, which is 3×9 inches.
10\. Allow them to become tacky and stick these together.
11\. When dry, carefully trim to the edge of your satin border.
**To place your liquid gold leaves on the vinyl or leather cuff**
1. Select 3-5 leaves
2. Sew them down using gold (non-metallic) thread onto the vinyl cuff (we used black bobbin thread). You can attach these using a single stitch line; this way, they can bend and stand up, creating a lovely 3D look.
3\. Add plastic or metal snaps in the four corners, and you are ready to go!
## Conclusion: Fall Jewelry Is Easy & Budget-Friendly
Making jewelry is only one example of using these versatile and beautiful leaves. The limit is your own imagination.
The main takeaways we have for you when working on these delightful free-standing leaves are:
1. **Stop thinking two-dimensional**! These leaves can be bent, curled, and displayed on more than a flat surface.
2. **Try some metallic**. Many people are afraid to use metallic thread because it might break or won’t look good, but with some simple tricks, you can stitch some metallic beauty!
3. **Save your scraps!** Sometimes the things we throw away are the best materials for a small project, and you don’t have to make an expensive trip to the fabric or craft store.
Always remember, we love seeing your stitch-outs and take on our projects! Feel free to post them in our [**Digitizing Made Easy Facebook group**](https://www.facebook.com/groups/EmbroideryLegacy) .

If you’ve seen and felt beautiful embroidery, you will know nothing compares. Now, imagine being able to create the perfect embroidery design to match any occasion & personalize any project. Imagine the look on your friends/families face when you say, “I made it from scratch.” Chances are, if you’re reading this article, you’re ready to dip your toes into the waters of machine embroidery.
However, you may be asking yourself, “I have no idea where to start” or “I’m not even sure what I need to start stitching designs.” In this article, we’ll go over the basics of what you’ll need to start stitching and more importantly, start your own Embroidery Legacy. This article will cover:
- Embroidery machines for beginners
- Embroidery thread for beginners
- Embroidery stabilizers for beginners
- Embroidery designs for beginners
- Embroidery hooping for beginners
- Embroidery digitizing & software for beginners
## Embroidery Machines for Beginners:
Number one on our list is, of course, the embroidery machine. Without your embroidery machine, you can forget about embroidery. It really is the most important piece to this puzzle. There are tons of machines on the market varying in all shapes in sizes, from single needles to multi-needle machines. Let’s briefly go over each of these machine types:
### Single Needles:
Single head embroidery machines are generally more user-friendly and are mainly used for basic sewing and digital embroidery designs. Can you guess why it’s called a single needle machine? Because a single needle stays in place while the embroidery arm moves over the flatbed and embroiderers the design you’ve chosen. A small downside to the single needle is that you have to switch the thread every time you have a color change. These machines are widely available within most shopping centers and sewing stores and will most likely be the easiest machine type for you to find.
Although these machines are user-friendly and great for the hobbyist embroiderer, if you’re looking to start a business or make money with your embroidery, this won’t be the right machine for you. The largest hoop size for most single needle machines is 8×12. This means that embroidering jacket backs, hats & caps, bags, and other larger / uniquely shaped items are extremely difficult or impossible to embroider.
### Multi-Needles:
While they can be slightly more challenging to master, multi-head machines are the “say all be all” for embroidery. Using a multi-needle machine unlocks unlimited potential for your embroidery. Although there is a learning curve when first starting on a multi-needle machine, it’s nothing you can’t handle, especially with all the great educational resources available online these days. These machines contain 4-16 needles, each of which sews its own thread color. This is a huge benefit, as you’ll save tons of run time without switching colors manually.
Another huge benefit to a multi-needle embroidery machine is the hoop sizes. Commonly, multi-needle hoops start at 4×4 and go up to jumbo-sized hoops (jacket backs, etc.). Most even have cap frames that allow you to embroider hats/caps. [**Click here to learn how to hoop and embroider on hats.**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-embroider-hats-caps-tutorial/)
Not only are these machines more useful than a single needle for production, but they also create incredibly precise and detailed embroidery. Plus, they’re fast, which saves you time and allows you to output more embroidery.
> Because these machines are often higher quality and have more capabilities than a single needle machine (keep in mind that this also does depend on the brand), they do often come at a steeper price point. In my opinion, if embroidery is your primary focus (not exactly sewing), a multi-needle is well worth the money you put in.

It’s important to find the right machine for you. While shopping for a machine, remember to ask yourself, “How often will I be using my embroidery machine?” or “What products do I plan on stitching?”. You’ll likely need a multi-needle machine if you plan on stitching on larger or unique items like hats or jackets. Also, if you plan to use your machine for business purposes, a multi-needle is a must to increase production and more easily embroider tubular items (like shirts). Learn the [**best embroidery machine to start a home embroidery business**.](https://embroiderylegacy.com/what-is-the-best-embroidery-machine-for-a-home-business/)
Be sure to do lots of research when looking for a machine. What’s right for someone else may not be right for you if you have different embroidery projects in mind.
## Embroidery Thread for Beginners:
It’s no secret that your embroidery machine uses thread to stitch out your designs. With so many threads to choose from (rayon, polyester, cotton, metallic, etc.) It’s hard to know which one to choose as well as where to start. Before we begin, it’s important we choose and understand our thread weight.
> *Thread weight is a little bit complicated as it doesn’t exactly work the way it sounds. For example, a low thread weight number means a heavy, thick thread. In contrast, a higher thread weight number is thinner and finer. Industry-standard embroidery threads are usually a higher thread weight number (Between 30wt-40wt).*

The good news is that almost all machine embroidery designs are digitized for standard 40wt thread. There are some exceptions, but most websites will specify what thread weight they recommend you use within the design description.
Now that we understand thread weights, let’s jump into the different kinds of threads:
**Polyester**: This is the most affordable and popular form of machine embroidery thread, hard to break, simple to use, and available in every color imaginable. This easy to use thread is a great choice due to its strength and attractive shiny look. This synthetic thread type will last the test of time compared to rayon. Polyester thread is machine washable, making it a great choice for embroidered goods that will need lots of washing (clothing, towels, bedspreads, etc.)
**Rayon**: Rayon thread is not as synthetic as polyester, and because of this, it’s not quite as strong. This can cause multiple thread breaks with designs that weren’t properly digitized, so I recommend using this thread type with designs from reputable vendors. Rayon is noticeably soft to the touch and produces a beautiful look & feel. Unfortunately, however, it can be run down over time, especially if repeatedly washed. I always recommend using rayon for stitching out [our vintage 1950s free-standing lace (FSL) designs](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-designs/free-standing-lace/) to get a beautiful finished product. **[Click here to learn other tips on stitching free-standing lace.](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-tutorial-free-standing-lace/)**
**Cotton**: The advantage of using cotton is it gives a more hand-embroidered look and feel to your designs. This makes cotton threads great for rework designs, quilts, and cross stitch designs.
**Metallics:** Metallic thread gives an incredible look, and a hard wire feel to your designs but can be quite tricky to master. The reason most people struggle with metallic thread is because of all the thread breaks. A lot of the time, people often get too frustrated and give up on metallic thread.

## Embroidery Stabilizers for Beginners:
> *Stabilizers, another must-have to start embroidering. Stabilizers (also known as backing) are used to support your fabric while your machine embroiders. The stabilizer prevents the fabric from puckering and stretching. It’s important to use the correct stabilizer for the embroidery you’re doing, as using the wrong one can completely ruin a design/project. There are many stabilizers on the market, including Cut-Away, Tear-Away, Wash-Away, etc.*
>

> [Tweet](/)
**Cut- Away:** Cut-away stabilizers are the strongest and most stable. While it can be used on any fabric type, it’s best when stitching on stretchy or knit fabrics. The reason it’s called cut-away stabilizer is because of how you remove it. After your design finishes stitching out, you simply cut away the excess stabilizer left around your stitches. Make sure you leave the stabilizer underneath of the stitches in place, as that will keep your stitches in place indefinitely.
**Wash-Away / Water Soluble:** Wash-Away stabilizers are great for designs/projects that can’t have any trace of stabilizer once the design is finished. A good example of this would be freestanding lace, or a design that will be looked at from the front and back. This stabilizer isn’t as strong as the others but works wonders. Plus, it’s magic… Simply rub water onto the stabilizer and it will disappear! Hence the name wash-away.
**Tear-Away:** Tear-away stabilizers are used when you need to remove most of the stabilizer on the back of your designs (between stitches and open areas). Tear-away can be used on almost all fabrics, but exclude stretchy and knit fabrics. To remove this stabilizer, all you have to do is simply cut or find an open end to the stabilizer and tear it away.

Now that you know what you need to start embroidery, you’ll need designs to embroider! Now, you might be thinking, “I can find embroidery designs anywhere online, so why not just use the free ones?”… Well, let me tell you that this isn’t always the best approach. While you can do that, I’m going to let you in on a little secret that will save you tons of time and agony on your machine.
If it’s a free design on a non-reputable website, don’t download it! I often hear of people downloading free designs, but what appears on their computer screen and what stitches out are two completely different things. Not only can the design look like a disaster, but it can have disastrous results on your machine! If the digitizer didn’t know what they were doing, it can cause multiple thread breaks, bird nests, and sometimes even broken needles.
> *Simply put, not all designs are created equal and often, you get what you pay for. If an embroidery design wasn’t created properly in the first place by someone who knew what they were doing, you can’t expect it to sew out well on your machine.*

I feel 100% confident recommending our designs because each and every design was digitized correctly by John Deer, the world’s most awarded embroidery digitizer.

### Machine Embroidery Design File Formats for Beginners:
Now, if you’re starting with machine embroidery, you will notice that there are many different formats with embroidery designs. File types like .pes, .jef, .art, etc. Your embroidery machine will take a specific type of [**machine file format**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-machine-embroidery-file-formats/). These are file formats that your embroidery machine can read like the ones listed above. If you don’t yet know which file format your machine takes, [click here](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-machine-embroidery-file-formats/) for a chart.
Beyond machine file formats, there are native file formats that embroidery software reads and expanded file formats mainly used by commercial embroidery machines. Don’t worry too much about these for now, as you’re just starting. However, when you do have a free couple of minutes, I suggest you read our article on [**Understanding Machine Embroidery File Formats**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-machine-embroidery-file-formats/) to understand file formats in the embroidery world better. Or, check out the video we created to help educate you below:
## Embroidery Hooping for Beginners:
Hooping really is the first step when it comes to getting your fabric onto your embroidery machine. If you hoop your fabric too loose and it moves around while in the hoop, you’ll end up with puckering and a finished project that looks horrible. On the other hand, if you hoop your fabric too tight, you will end up with what embroiderers call “fabric burn,” which is when your hoop leaves a permanent mark/indent on your fabric. Hoop burn can be particularly damaging to more fragile [**fabric types used in machine embroidery**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-use-main-machine-embroidery-fabrics/) such as silk.
Hooping really isn’t too complex once you get the hang of it. Generally speaking, we recommend presetting your hoop to the right size before you actually hoop your fabric. We also suggest you avoid fighting the hoop after the fact, once again, to prevent hoop burn.

## Embroidery Digitizing & Software for Beginners:
Create
Embroider
Impress
Finding designs online is great. However, it can often feel impossible to find exactly what you’re looking for. As an embroider, when I have a project idea, I often envision exactly what I want before I can even begin searching for a design to use online. In situations like this, learning to create your own embroidery designs is incredibly useful. However, it does take time.
If you want to learn how to create your own embroidery designs (i.e to learn embroidery digitizing), it’s important to understand the theory behind digitizing first. Knowing what’s happening behind the scenes on your machine and within your software is key to optimal results!
If you want to create or edit your own embroidery designs, I would highly suggest starting with our [**free Embroidery Digitizing 101: Cheat Sheet PDF & video course**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-classes/digitizing-education/free-101-course/). As of right now, it’s 100% free and will teach you some basic digitizing theory that’ll improve EVERY aspect of your embroidery. [**Click here to enroll in the course now.**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-classes/digitizing-education/free-101-course/)
If you don’t yet have embroidery software, there are many free trials out there. Always try before you buy!

## In The Hoop Embroidery Bookmark Tutorial & Video
By the end of these 10 easy steps, you’ll have created the perfect embroidered gift (or maybe you’ll have decided to save it for yourself).
More of a visual learner? Watch our step-by-step video below to for an easy-to-follow bookmark tutorial.
Take the fabric you want to use for your bookmark and lay it so that the wrong side is facing up. You’ll also want to iron down the fabric first so that it lays completely flat onto your surface.
Place the fusible no-show mesh backing onto the fabric with the fusible side down. Iron the two pieces together.
### Step 1: Fuse no-show mesh to your fabric
Take the fabric you want to use for your bookmark and lay it so that the wrong side is facing up. You’ll also want to iron down the fabric first so that it lays completely flat onto your surface.
Place the fusible no-show mesh backing onto the fabric with the fusible side down. Iron the two pieces together.
### Step 2: Hoop your fabric
Flip the fabric over so that the fabric is facing up. Hoop with a 5”x7” hoop.

### Step 3: Embroider the first file of your bookmark
This will be the decorative front of your bookmark.
### Step 4: Load the b file and sew out the back of the bookmark
Here, you can add lettering or customize however you wish.
### Step 5: Remove your hoop and carefully cut out the front and back of your bookmark
Cut as closely as you can to the outside edge without cutting the stitches.
### Step 6: Secure your tassel to the bookmark
Take the back of your bookmark (maybe it has a name embroidered on it) and lay the embroidered side down on a table. Use a small piece of invisible tape to secure your tassel to the bottom-center of the design. Make sure to leave enough space between the tassel head and the embroidered border.
### Step 7: Use adhesive spray to stick your bookmark pieces together
Take adhesive spray and spray the back of both pieces of your bookmark. Then, carefully line up the bookmark pieces and stick them together.
### Step 8: Run the placement line for your bookmark
Take a piece of water-soluble backing and hoop it into a 5”x7” hoop. You’ll also want to change the bobbin in your machine to a bobbin that will match the outside border color of your bookmark. Use the “C” file and run the placement line for your bookmark.
Then, lay down your bookmark as perfectly as you can within the placement line. Run the second color of the “C” file. This will secure the bookmark and embroider the border which will hold the bookmark together. If you find that your tassel is getting in the way, simply tape it down.
### Step 9: Cut out the water-soluble backing from your bookmark
Remove your bookmark from the hoop and cut the water-soluble backing around the bookmark. Try to cut as close as you can without cutting into the stitches. Make sure the tassel is out of the way as you cut off the backing.
Once you finish cutting around the bookmark, flip it over and cut out the backing from the inside of the bookmark’s border. Cut as close as you can to the inside of the border without cutting the stitches.
### Step 10: Dissolve the water-soluble backing from your embroidered bookmark
Almost done! Take a bowl of warm water (as warm as possible, but not boiling). Add a drop of dish soap and dip your finger into the water. Slide your finger around the edges of the bookmark to dissolve the water-soluble backing. You will need to repeat this step until the backing is completely removed.
That’s it! Your new bookmark is ready to hold your place in your next page-turner.

### [A Complete Guide to Machine Embroidery Stabilizers](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-use-machine-embroidery-stabilizer/)
**Published:** August 11, 2025
**Author:** Embroidery Legacy
**Content:**
As any experienced embroiderer knows, if you’re looking for beautiful results, stabilizer is a crucial component when creating almost any embroidery project. Taking the time to truly understand stabilizers and the different types available can help make your embroidery look better and “pop.” When it comes to stabilizer, we are frequently asked many questions here at the Embroidery Legacy, these include:
- What brand of stabilizer should I use?
- Why did my design pucker (Why is stabilizer is so important)?
- What are the main types of stabilizers and when should I use them?
This guide will help answer these questions and more to help you get more professional results and become a better embroiderer. Now if you’re more of a visual learner, this embroidery stabilizer and toppers video is a great resource as well:
## What Brand Of Stabilizer Should You Use?
> In general, we recommend that you order your stabilizer from a reliable embroidery source online based on price point, or support your local dealer and use the brand they sell.

Now, in most cases, we shop for stabilizers based on price point, rather than who they’re made by because most stabilizers are created by a handful of main manufacturers and then white-labeled by different embroidery brands. Of course, there are some exceptions to this rule. Mainly, avoid purchasing stabilizers from “big box stores” (such as Walmart or Michaels). Sure, you can get stabilizer probably at a cheaper cost, but when you are contemplating buying from the “big box stores” always keep in mind that old adage, “You get what you pay for”. As a general rule of thumb, if you look at a stabilizer and see lighter areas and darker areas, you can be assured you won’t get a consistent stitch.
## Why Is Stabilizer So Important?
> Stabilizer is the foundation of your embroidery and is a necessity to support your fabric and thread. Without the use of the proper stabilizer the registration of the design may be off, you might have puckering, and your fabric may distort. Your choice of stabilizer can “make or break” your stitch out.

Commercial embroiderers always used a Tear Away or Cut Away backing, and they used a wash away product on top of fabrics that had a nap or raised fibers. Home embroiderers knew they needed something to stabilize their fabric, so they became very creative. They used coffee filters, typing paper, saran wrap, paper towels, wrapping paper, etc. and wondered why their stitches didn’t line up correctly and their fabric puckered. Usually, the first thought is to blame the machine or the way the design was digitized. Although a poorly digitized design is often the culprit, remember that you will always struggle to get quality results if there is a lack of proper stabilization. To this day, we still hear of embroiderers using those products and wonder why they skimp on one of the most important aspects of embroidery.
## The Main Types of Embroidery Stabilizers and When to Use Them
> Technically, there are only three types of embroidery stabilizers:
>
> Author Name

> [Tweet](/)
1. **Tear Away**
2. **Wash Away**
3. **Cut Away**
**Each of these three types of stabilizers may also be available as a fusible and or tacky**. **When making your decision on which type of stabilizer to use a good rule of thumb is to:**
- Use Cut Away stabilizer if the fabric has any stretch – t-shirts, sweatshirts, knits, etc.
- Use a Tear Away Stabilizer if the fabric is stable woven.
- Use a Wash Away if using a sheer fabric or freestanding lace design such as our **[Vintage Lace](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-designs/free-standing-lace/)**, **[3D Flowers, 3D Butterflies, or 3D Leaves, etc.](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-designs/in-the-hoop/3d/)**
- And whenever possible, fuse your stabilizer to the fabric.
In addition to the three types of stabilizers, most brands also have specialty products to use in your embroidery. This includes fabric preps that help stabilize fabrics that unravel, distort, or pucker. However, it adds stitch counts to your fabric, so it’s ideal to use with a heavy stitch count design. There are also products that add varying textures. They add a firm shape or a soft foam shape, which help with applique without adding any bulk, and cover the stitches so they won’t irritate your skin. These products do not replace stabilizer by any means, but can all be used with tear away or cut away stabilizers.
### 1. Tear Away Embroidery Stabilizer
> Tear Away stabilizers are used for any stable woven fabric that doesn’t stretch. It is what you want to use for towels, leather, vinyl, etc.
>

Most Tear Away, tears away very clean (hence the name). Just make sure when you start tearing it away, you place your finger on the stitches and tear it away from the stitch instead of toward the stitch. Like Cut Away stabilizers, Tear Away comes in different weights. Use a heavier stabilizer with a thicker fabric and higher stitch count design. Use a lighter stabilizer with a lightweight fabric and lower stitch count design.
Most brands have water activated and tacky tear away for holding hard-to-hoop items in place, such as towels, the corner of napkins, collars, cuffs, or any fabric that might be damaged in the hooping process. It’s great to use when making bags and In-the-Hoop projects.
### 2. Wash Away Embroidery Stabilizers
> Wash Away stabilizers are used for any sheer fabrics, like organza, that you wouldn’t want stabilizer to shadow through. It’s the perfect choice for freestanding lace, 3D, and cutwork designs. [Click here to see some of our designs](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-designs/).

When you have finished embroidering, trim away the excess stabilizer and rinse the design in warm water. There are different types of water, some are harder than others, and that could have a bearing on removing the stabilizer. To test yours, put the stabilizer under running water. If the stabilizer doesn’t start disappearing immediately, you can add a bit of hair conditioner, Calgon bath powder, or fabric softener to your warm water to aid in removing the stabilizer.
For [**freestanding lace designs**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-designs/free-standing-lace/) you would want to remove the entire stabilizer so the lace is nice and soft. Click here for a complete tutorial on how to properly embroidery freestanding lace designs. For a [**3D project embroidery designs**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-designs/in-the-hoop/3d/), you may want to remove just enough of the stabilizer so you don’t see it.
### 3. Cut Away Embroidery Stabilizers
> Cut Away Stabilizers are the most stable of all of the stabilizers and are permanent. They will continue to support your stitches for the life of the project. Cut Away is always a good choice for any project that will be worn and washed regularly.

Most brands have different weights of Cut Away – Heavy, Medium, or Mesh. The heavier the stabilizer, the more stitches it will support. Different brands base the type of stabilizer you should use and the number of layers of stabilizer with the stitch count of the design. In our opinion, you should never have more than three layers of product under your fabric. If you [check out our **Large Legacy Designs**, which can be found by clicking here](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-designs/premium/), you will see some of our designs have upwards of 300,000 stitches (given the incredible amount of detail digitized into them). The last thing you would want is to add a heavy stabilizer to an already heavy design, but you need the support more than ever, so what do you do? One of our [fan-favorite designs is the Dolphin Scene, which can be found by clicking here](https://embroiderylegacy.com/product/embroidery-design-embroidery-art-dolphin-scene-4-sizes/). It has 280,954 stitches in the 13”x15” design… no, that’s not a typo, it really has 280,954 stitches. We wanted to stitch the design on a Quilter’s Cotton, so the first thing we did was fuse a fabric prep to the back of the fabric to help prevent puckering. We also fused a Mesh Cut Away to the fabric.
> Fusing the stabilizer not only prevents puckering but helps with keeping the registration or alignment of your stitches aligned*.*

Remember, fuse your stabilizer whenever possible. After we hooped the fabric, we decided to float another layer of Mesh Cut Away under the hoop by gently lifting the hoop’s corner and sliding the mesh under the hoop at a 45° angle. We then secured the topper in place. When the design finished stitching, beautifully I might add, we trimmed away the mesh that was floated close to the stitching line. We then gently released the fusible mesh and trimmed it close to the stitching and left the fabric prep in place. If you have issues releasing a fusible stabilizer, you can lightly press it to release it.
### Mesh Cut Away Stabilizer
With most apparel, our go-to stabilizer is a Mesh Cut Away. When embroidering on any fabric with stretch, you always want to use a fusible mesh to prevent the fabric from stretching and puckering. You have two options for hooping a stretchy fabric (like t-shirts, sweatshirts, onesies, etc.)
- You can cut your fusible stabilizer the size needed for your hoop. For instance, if you are using a 5″ x 7″ hoop, you would cut your stabilizer 10″ x 12″ and fuse it to the back of your garment and place it in your hoop.
- Another great method is to cut our mesh stabilizer a few inches larger than the design. Turn your t-shirt, for instance, inside out and fuse the stabilizer to the back of the t-shirt where the design will stitch. Hoop a Tacky Tear Away Stabilizer drum-tight, score the protective paper, and remove it from the hoop. You now have a tacky surface to hold your t-shirt in place. With the t-shirt still inside out, line it up with the markings in your hoop and smooth it out. You can then tape or pin the fabric out of the stitching area without worrying about stitching the front to the back. Place your topper of choice over the area to be stitched, secure it in place, and stitch your design. This is a great solution if you’re worried about hoop burn, pinholes from hooping too tightly, or damaging the garment somehow.

## Embroidery Toppings
The most important specialty product is Toppings. Toppings can be Water Soluble or Heat Away and are both used to place a barrier between your stitches and the fabric, so your stitches don’t disappear. You shouldn’t hoop your topping, but you do have to secure it. We suggest cutting a piece a bit larger than the embroidery design, and then securing it to the area to you’ll be stitching. You can do this by moistening the water soluble topper, pin it, or, as we prefer, tape it in the corners to hold it in place. A water soluble topping tears away very easily and disappears completely once it has been wet. A heat away topping also tears away very easily but requires direct heat from an iron or a press to disappear. For that reason, heat away is our topping of choice.
> Get in the habit of using a topping on everything you embroider, and you’ll see a huge difference in your finished product.

We know that with washing and drying, our design is still supported, so the nap of the fabric can’t work its way through the design. If you have small areas of a design, such as the letters; o, b, or d, it can be hard for you to heat press the topping. We suggest to use the tip of your iron set on a silk setting and touch those areas. Then the topping will disappear.
## Guide Conclusion: You Need All 3 Types of Embroidery Stabilizer
Stabilizers come in different sizes and colors, and are used for different fabrics and design types. Depending on what you embroider, you do need the 3 main types of stabilizer:
1. **Tear Away:** used for any stable woven fabric that doesn’t stretch, such as leather, towels, vinyl
2. **Wash Away:** used for any sheer fabrics, such as organza, freestanding lace, 3D and cutwork designs
3. **Cut Away:** used for products that are worn and washed regularly. The most stable and good to use for heavy designs with large stitch counts.
As you’ve now learned, using the proper stabilizer is a crucial step towards achieving a perfect sew out and by applying the knowledge found in this guide, you too can get great results!

The 3D puff foam used for your embroidery stitch-outs can be made with embroidery foam or crafting foam.
The process may seem intimidating but remember to have fun with it. Embroidery is an art form, and like anything, practice makes perfect.
To help you better understand 3D embroidery foam, keep reading below to find out how and when to use it, what stabilizer we suggest, how to easily make your own 3D foam project, and steps on how to digitize your own custom 3D puffy foam embroidery designs.
## How Far You Can Take 3D Puff Foam Embroidery
Back in the early 90’s was the first time I saw 3D Foam hit the market when we ran a contract embroidery house and did customer work for some large licensing manufacturers, so we, of course, had to learn and invent techniques for utilizing foam.
It was one of the most challenging forms of digitizing I’ve ever had to master. It’s not natural to stick a foreign object under an embroidery machine while it’s running. By the time 1997 rolled around, I feel we were one of the best companies about who did work with foam.
So, I did a foam piece that, to this day, I think is one of the best to have ever been created. The commercial industry was also impressed as my Foam Bulldog cap won my first Grand Prize with EMB Magazine in 1998.
> *Watch this fun video showcasing a three-layer foam bulldog cap that won me my first digitizing Grand Prize with EMB Magazine in 1998.*

It’s hard to believe that I digitized that design over 20 years ago! I remember when we ran it on the 24-head Tajima machine it was like embroidery magic when it was done. The reason why? I used three pieces of 2mm foam and built up the design dimensionally. The eyes are set back right onto the surface material of the hat, then building it up 2mm, then 4mm, and finally up to 6mm which is just the dog’s jowls, brows, and top of his ears. When the design was finished on the machine that was all you saw, and when the foam was torn off the entire dog appeared… embroidery magic!
Two other things I’d like to mention about the process. We only ever did one run on the machine. Only 24 of these hats are in existence. The reason why is, when you put 6mm of a foreign substance under the needle of a machine, it sounds like a rocket ship taking off to the moon. So please take my advice and **“DO NOT”** try this at home… your machine may not survive!
Second is, this design was done as a panel program. Many years ago, baseball hats were manufactured in North America; sadly, this is no longer the case. At that time, we worked with the manufacturers, so the cap peak and crown were sent to us before they were constructed. Please NEVER try to sew through the peak of a finished hat; this also will break your machine guaranteed!

## 3D Puffy Foam Embroidery Designs
As with many other special embroidery techniques (such as **[mylar](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-designs/applique/mylar/)**, **[applique](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-designs/applique/)**, and **[in-the-hoop projects](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-designs/in-the-hoop/)**), 3D foam embroidery is embroidered specifically to incorporate foam in your design and use it with your embroidery machine.
Due to the nature of 3D foam, we highly suggest only using foam with embroidery machine designs specifically digitized for their use. This will ensure the safety of your machine and garment.
When choosing your desired embroidery design, you want to **make sure the 3D foam embroidery designs you choose has a perforated border**. Make sure you have needle penetrations in all directions of the object so it tears away properly.
You can think of it like baking cookies. If you have a cookie-cutter that has a little notch out of it when you put it into the dough and pull that dough away, it’s not going to pull away cleanly—same idea with foam embroidery. You have to have a shape that’s cut out around the edge for that crisp, clean look.

## What Stabilizer Should I Use for 3D Puffy Foam Embroidery?
This answer depends entirely on what garment you’re embroidering on.
If you’re embroidering 3D foam onto hats, I would suggest using a tear-away stabilizer. Because it’s a hat and doesn’t have much flexibility, it’s easiest to tear the stabilizer away (hence the name). Hats are also generally not laundered much, which helps with the longevity of the foam. The less you wash, the greater the lifespan of the foam.
If you’re using 3D foam on any wearable item, I would suggest using cutaway mesh. As I always say, “if you wear it, don’t tear it.” I would use no show mesh, so you don’t see it through the garment.

## How to Embroider 3D Puff Foam: Steps & Overview
How to Embroider 3D Puff Foam: Steps & Overview
1. **Run the regular embroidered elements first** -With “foam” designs, you need to run the regular embroidered elements first; all *Embroidery Legacy* designs are created with this in mind.
2. **Stop the machine** -Once all regular embroidery colors are completed, your color information sheet will give you a suggested thread color and say the word “foam” after it. When reaching this color change, the design should move to the top of the design, and you should stop your machine.
3. **Lay the foam** -At this point, you will lay the foam down within the areas to be embroidered. (Always try to use the same color thread and foam whenever possible).
4. **Sew the tack-**down stitches -The first stitches to be placed down are “tack-down” stitches to secure the foam to the fabric.
5. **Continue sewing –**Then, the design will proceed to finish all the areas to be done in foam.
6. **Remove the foam** -Now you’re ready to pull the foam off, it should tear away easily with designs that have been digitized properly.
7. **Done! –**You now know how to do foam embroidery.

## How To Digitize 3D Puffy Foam Machine Embroidery Designs
Digitizing 3d puff foam embroidery designs is quite different from digitizing regular embroidery designs as you’re adding another physical medium to the mix (foam) instead of just fabric and thread.
Using foam to create stunning 3-D effects on garments is visually appealing, but brace yourself for some potential frustration along the way.
If you were hoping I would explain all the properties of foam embroidery and give you a foolproof formula to digitize foam flawlessly, you might as well save your energy for a better cause.
To me, “Foam” is the four-letter “F” word of the embroidery industry. Much like its literary equivalent, it should not be used lightly and only when you really deem it necessary. Remember that if you know little, little is expected of you. If you know much (or claim to), much is expected of you.
Well, be prepared for one of the biggest learning curves in digitizing that you will ever experience. True, it can create novel 3D effects on caps and other substrates, but getting eye-pleasing results can be quite a challenge, one that requires you to consider thread angles, tension, and density, among other issues.
There are a few things to do when digitizing 3D foam embroidery. Finding a good source for foam that stitches well is your first priority. When I first started 3D foam embroidery designs, we were going through so much of the stuff I started sourcing it myself. The end result was a “not open to the public” craft warehouse outlet where I bought foam by the case, at a fraction of the price. When I first found them, I received some strange looks of curiosity as I cleared out their entire inventory.
Next, evaluate your designs and troubleshoot your artwork before you begin digitizing. This step will save you a lot of grief. Foam works best on large columned objects and text. Give your customer realistic expectations of what elements can be done in foam and what element should use regular stitching.
Like any technique in digitizing, it’s only by making repetitive mistakes that skills are refined. Only with foam, you need to add more than the usual frustration into the equation! If I’m speaking to a group regarding foam, I tell them that you better be prepared to digitize the design and then edit it at least two or three times before you’re happy with the results. You should also charge more for foam digitizing, taking into account the extra time involved; we do!
The following brief step-by-step foam application – on a cap, in this example – should help get you started in understanding this potentially tricky process. So as you follow along, keep in mind that my approach for embroidering foam isn’t the only way, nor is it necessarily the best way; it’s just my way.
### Step By Step How To Digitize 3D Puff Embroidery
Ok, let’s get down to business. We will walk you through a relatively simple design –a logo for a restaurant called “Zeyda’s” which has both regular and foam embroidered elements.

**Step 1.** Digitize the regular embroidered elements of the design first, laying down the filled areas and the white lettering as you normally would. Once you finish these elements, program a stop at the top of your embroidered field. This allows you to lay down the foam while the sewing head is out of the way. If you were insistent on trying to do finished hats, you would program your stop toward the peak of the cap, so the sewing heads are out of the way.
**Step 2.** Before placing the foam down, give it a quick shot of adhesive spray to lessen movement when tacking down. Remember foam comes in a wide variety of colors; try to match your foam and thread colors as closely as possible.
**Step 3.** Using a manual stitch, I will usually tack down the design moving inside out. In regards to the “Zeyda’s” logo, I loosely ran a manual stitch on the “d” and “s” to stabilize the foam elements before actually starting the “Z.”
**Step 4.** Once you tack down the “Z” you need to carefully apply underlay about .2mm away from the outside column. The value of the underlay should be set to 1mm; this will help perforate the foam before the column stitching goes down.
**Step 5.** With foam, you not only have to worry about the primary column, but you also need to “cut” the ends of your columns. This will give you a clean cut when you remove the foam. Digitizing your “ends” should be done before you start your columns.
**Step 6.** Density is the key to clean foam. Everybody’s software talks slightly different language values, so I’ll try to address it by percentage. If your normal value were 100%, the foam would require 50-40% density, over double the amount of normally needed stitches. A couple of other key things to watch out for are; shorts stitches may need to be modified (increasing the amount of stitches and elongating the short stitches, so there is enough density and coverage in your corners). Overlap your columns where they meet. Foam tends to gap, showing large bits of foam if you don’t overlap. Add a little more than your average pull compensation; foam generally looks and runs better on larger columns.
**Step 7.** Repeat these steps for each letter or element until all your foam areas are done. As you can see, there are many more steps, and precise execution of underlay and columns are critical. The digitizing process alone is more labor extensive than regular digitizing; never mind your editing sessions afterward.
**Finalizing the Foam**
If you’ve made it this far, congratulations! As you can see, there are many more steps than regular embroidery requires, and precise execution of underlay and columns is critical. The digitizing process alone is more labor-intensive than regular digitizing; never mind your editing sessions afterward.
Tearing off and finishing your foam is also a matter of preference. We would steam the panels before tearing off the foam. I’ve also heard of companies using heat guns to try and shrink the foam slightly. Both these methods can only help promote finished quality, so give them a try. Once the foam was torn off we would have a team of people using pointed but slightly blunt objects to push in the foam wherever needed. Foam seems to have a mind of its own; it never comes out the same twice.
One of the most frequent complaints I receive is that there may be a lot of looping on the finished product. A couple of possible solutions if you are experiencing these problems are; your underlay is to close the edge of your column and that your machines need to have the top and bobbin tensions increased. That is the beauty of doing large foam runs; it usually takes about three or four runs to get the bugs worked out. Tensions need to be a little tighter than your usual embroidery to allow for the mass of the foam between the needle bar and the needle plate. Switching back and forth for small runs has the potential of producing a lot of damaged goods.
After digitizing their first foam design for them, the most frequent comment from customers is, “If I had known how much work it was, I would have charged more.”
To those of you that I haven’t scared off, working with foam can be very creative and profitable if you are willing to get past the learning curve. There is something to be said for having a reputation for doing a difficult technique well; you can charge for it! If you do it properly, it doesn’t need to be a loss leader and can get business in your door that you might not have otherwise seen.

### [Best Tips For Washing Embroidery Items](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-wash-embroidery-clothes/)
**Published:** August 11, 2025
**Author:** Embroidery Legacy
**Content:**
Imagine you’re at lunch wearing your favorite new shirt with a cool design that you have embroidered and/or digitized. You’ve gotten so many compliments!
You’re just sitting and taking it all in when…. splat!
That delicious chili you ordered is now on your shirt and your embroidery! Tragedy. What do you do now?
There are many reasons why embroidered garments require more care. Not considering them can lessen the life of your item or ruin your garment completely. You are not *only* dealing with the unique properties of the embroidery but *also* with the garment’s fiber content, the backing, how dense the stitching is, etc.
Let’s roll up our sleeves and get to the laundry!
## Embroidered Garment Stains
Stains can be organic (like dirt or blood) or inorganic (like petroleum, paint, ink). You need to identify the type of stain first.
Organic stains can use soaps and water; inorganic stains generally require solvents and stronger cleaning products. They come from everywhere in all forms, but here are some of the issues you will find:
- **Food:** Food particles have dual problems: removing the actual food and removing the residual stain. They can be oily, gritty, and colored (many people who use tea/coffee/beets to dye fabric know they are permanent).
- **Oil**: Regularly oiling the bobbin casing can cause staining if you are too aggressive when you oil. Oils can be organic, like olive or animal fats, or inorganics, like motor oil or sewing machine oil.
- **Cosmetics:** These are problematic because they are *meant* to color. We need to deal with these quickly so they do not set.
- **Perspiration:** If washed right away, it is manageable, but if ironed, it can set the stain in.
- **Inks**, **dyes**, and **paint** are all inorganic and require different handling than organic stains.
- **Blood**: Surprisingly, saliva is the best way to clean it. (Although we don’t recommend licking your clothes).
## How To Wash Embroidery Designs: Considerations
For washing [**embroidery designs**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-designs/), two methods of laundering exist: machine washing and hand washing, each with pros and cons. Machine washing is handy, and it works well if you follow simple rules.
Handwashing is the best because you can see if your solution works and control what happens with the garment. There is also dry cleaning, which we will discuss later. So that said, here are some key issues to consider.
- **Thread:** Very important to consider. You can’t use bleach on **silk** thread, or you will end up with a beige mess. Unless you test a portion of the thread in an inconspicuous place, do not attempt even with “nonbleach alternatives.”
- **Rayon** also can be damaged by bleach and peroxide (bleach alternatives). Know what is in your thread before you start.

- **Snagging:** Satin stitches in long runs over 7mm can catch hidden hazards in the machine, such as clothing with zippers. Rubbing on other rough materials in the washer or surfaces in a sink can also cause them to become abraded.
- **Curling:** Depending on the backing, the density of the design, how you clean it, and how you dry it, it can cause your design to curl up or ripple if not treated right.
- **Drying:** In addition to the curling issue above, properly drying can lengthen the life of your garment.
- **Ironing:** This is a *hot-button* issue! You can steam backings and make them wave or melt, melt adhesives, melt stitching, and more.
- **Color Bleed:** Color bleeds can happen in hand laundering, but when using a washing machine, you usually won’t notice color bleeding until the end, when your white shirt is now pink.
## Should You Wash Fabric Before Embroidery?
Polyester embroidery is durable and stands up to the washer, dryer, etc. (though natural drying is best). You should wash rayon embroidery, silk, and wool by hand, but they require special care.
> Embroidery on polyester, cotton, or nylon clothes is strong, but wash them before embroidering, especially cotton. Cotton, unless pre-shrunk, can shrink, distorting your stitching. Even if a garment claims to be prewashed, you may still want to wash it. Even a polyester garment may have threads, linings, etc, which are cotton and can shrink.

Many embroidered bags, tote bags, backpacks, etc., are designed to be durable and washed. Unless there is a question of color bleed, you can launder (keeping in mind the cautions for different embroidery) without any problems. Specialty bags such as raffia, leather, and others are a no-no in the washer, so always consult the care label.
### How To Avoid Shrinking When Washing Embroidered Garments
Rayon is made of wood cellulose and is quite porous, making it soft and shiny, but when submerged, you may panic when it curls and becomes hard. Rayon thread can (and usually will) shrink when wet*. The cells release water when it dries*, and the overall stitching will relax.
> *If you need to iron rayon thread, always use a medium iron with no steam, a pressing cloth and iron from the backside.*

> *Whether washing by hand or by machine, hotter is not better. If you have to make a choice not knowing anything else choose cool or cold water.*

### Different types of shrinkage:
- **Felting** occurs with clothing constructed of animal hair fibers, like wool or mohair.
- The strands of hair have microscopic scales along their surface that, exposed to heat, water, and abrasion, can cause them to felt together. Human hair is the same, by the way, and the locking of these scales together is how people dread their hair into locks.
- **Consolidation shrinkage** occurs when moisture, heat, and agitation during washing and drying are combined.
## What Embroidery Can’t Be Washed?
There are two types of fabrics: natural (like wool and silk) or man-made (like polyester or nylon).
- As mentioned above, Silk cannot be laundered with harsh chemicals, **never** with bleach or bleach alternatives.
- Some rayons act strangely in washers; they are technically man-made from wood cellulose, but the natural wood has many absorbing properties. Man-made fabrics are extremely durable but remember; your embroidery may not be even if they are.

As an example of the difference between natural and man-made fabrics, you could put a packet of colored drink mix in your washer and end up with a strawberry-colored silk shirt and a perfectly clean polyester one. Likewise, you can put synthetic dye into a washer with the same silk or wool shirt and poly shirt and end up with a perfectly clean silk shirt and a dyed polyester one.

## Should I Dry Clean My Embroidered Garments?
Dry cleaning still involves liquid, but clothes are instead soaked in a water-free liquid solvent, which dissolves the bonds of oil, etc., and helps to wash it away. Many people avoid dry cleaning due to residual chemicals and expense, and it is not recommended to attempt to dry clean at home or use solvents as they can be hazardous to your body, and if you mix the wrong things, it is disastrous.
Home-use products are on the market, but it is better to take your garment to a reputable dry cleaner and allow them to professionally clean it than risk ruining your garment if you are unsure of the chemical being used. Yes, a cost is involved, but it is worth it if the garment is unique or sentimental.
> *When going to your dry cleaner, you will want to ask them to spot clean specific stains and then turn the garment inside out. Make sure that you tell them the fiber content of the thread and request that they dry clean inside out and only use a medium iron with no steam from the backside of the stitching.*

## How To Dry and Iron Machine Embroidery
**Naturally drying** is always best. Yes, it takes longer, but it is worth it in the end. Using a dryer has extremely high heat and agitation, which can wear out your embroidery and cause shrinkage. If you must dry in the dryer, use the lowest heat setting (or no heat at all, just air) and only tumble till lightly damp.
**Ironing** can make your garment look wonderful and also ruin it. Fifty years ago, irons were only a few settings and could be very hot. Newer irons have many options and features, but they can also be powerful enough to damage your ironing board.
Please make sure not to use the steam setting. The goal is to flatten and *not* brutally scrub the embroidered piece until it is shiny and flat. Embroidery has a natural loft, which is this puffed-up quality, making it three-dimensional and lustrous.
Polyester, nylon, and other fibers (like stabilizers) melt under high temperatures, making your embroidery a solid melted mess. Be careful when using hot temperatures.
Most stabilizers are man-made and can be melted. Iron-on stabilizers, backings, etc., can cause problems for embroiderers if they are ironed too hot. This is because it makes them ripple.

**Pro Tip: Use a pressing cloth.** When finishing your cleaning, do not directly iron. Other than squashing your loft on your stitching, you can overheat the stitching if you use steam or it is wet. An ironing cloth provides a nice buffer between the heat and the garment.
Putting your iron on a plastic wrapper or something dirty by mistake can get on your stitching. Using a plain cotton pressing cloth, pillowcase, or sheet can save your garments. Avoid using colored or textured cloths.
## How To Wash Machine Embroidery
Okay, so how do we go about this? Well, here is a minimally invasive method for laundering your embroidery.
- Inspect the garment and determine if it has any debris that you can brush off with a soft brush.
- Check the label on your garment; make sure that you follow the maker’s directions.
As a general rule, start with this:
1. **Gently wash in tepid soapy water**. Handwashing is best. Dish detergents work well but require more rinsing than laundry products.
2. We suggest using a mild detergent and remember, “Less is More,” as you only need a small amount and can add more later if you need.
3. **Rinse in cool or tepid water until there are no suds.** You can hold the embroidery under gently running water without high-power sprays (less is best).
4. **Do not wring.** Wringing causes creases; it pulls embroidery stitching and backing out of shape and sometimes can break threads.
5. **Place the garment on a clean towel and lay it flat.** When you do this, let it lay naturally, and do not pull or tug. Smooth out with your hand. After the garment is flat, roll the terry towel with the garment up into a “jelly roll.”
6. **Gently squeeze the towel roll.** This allows the terry cloth to absorb extra water.
7. **Let air dry until slightly damp.**
8. **Check for stains or marks** (If you find any, repeat steps 1-6)
9. **Iron from the backside with a medium iron, no steam.**
10. **Iron with the garment laid on a clean, dry towel.** The toweling absorbs more water and supports the stitching.
11. **Allow to finish air-drying.**
If machine washing is necessary: 1. **Turn inside out.**
2. **Do not wash with studs, snaps, metal zippers, or other objects that would snag.**
3. **Wash on cold or cool.**
4. **Do not wash with new-colored clothing, especially cotton or silk, as these can bleed.**
5. **Dry same as above.**
### Laundering Machine Embroidery with Beads, Sequins, Bangles
Though we won’t discuss this in detail, the main points you need to keep in mind are:
- Always follow the supplier’s instructions on your garment.
- Hand wash inside out.
- Do not dry in the dryer.
- Dry flat.
- Do not iron (spangles, beads, and sequins can be plastic, which can melt).
## Removing Bad Stains On Embroidered Items
You will inevitably come across a stain that simply will not release. Unless you can live with it, here are some inventive ways of making treasure out of trash.
- Cover the stain with an adornment, applique, or other feature. Attempting to over-embroider can create dense stitching with its own problems.
- Buttons are a fun way to cover a small spot.
- Cut out the embroidery and applique a new object over it (remember not to cut out knits).
- Fabric and other paints can also be a creative way to cover up a troublesome stain.

### [Machine Embroidery Software Training](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-digitizing-software-training/)
**Published:** August 11, 2025
**Author:** Embroidery Legacy
**Content:**
If you’re like most people, you probably didn’t realize how much time you’d be spending on your computer when you purchased your first embroidery machine. On the bright side though, sitting in front a of a computer saves you from having to do it all by hand!
The one big issue of course, is that learning your new embroidery software can be tough & confusing. There are so many options, so many buttons, & for a lot of you, so many new terms. Not familiar with density, underlay & other settings? Don’t worry! You’ll get there with the right help.
## **Every Software Program Has a Different User Interface**
Now please understand that there are many different software brands out there. In fact, new software brands are popping up left right and center & they can be hard to keep up with. For this reason, it’s hard to write one article that covers all aspects of every software brand. Different brands place tools in different places which creates a totally unique user experience depending on which brand you’ve purchased. Although the program layout may be different, majority of the time the different programs have the same tools.
## **What Do You Need Training On?**
With the above being said, there are often two main areas people want to be ‘trained on’ for their software, & they should be taken in the following order:
### 1. **How to navigate the software & learn where tools are located:**
If you’re brand new to your software, the first step towards mastering it would be to learn how to navigate it. Learning the rules behind using certain tools will do very little for you if you don’t know where these tools are in the first place. In other words, you’ve got to learn how to crawl before you can walk. Now a very important thing to keep in mind during this stage is that you DO NOT need to pay for education on this. There are various Youtube channels, Facebook groups & websites dedicated towards guiding you through the interfaces of almost every software brand. Want something a bit more physical? Check out your software programs manual. If you’ve lost it, there’s often a free printable PDF version which can download from the software itself or find on the internet.
### 2. **How to properly use the tools in your software:**
Here’s where things get fun. Once you’ve learned where the tools are in your software, the next logical step is learning how to use them properly. Some basic tools like ‘view or manage designs’ don’t require much explanation, whiles others like ‘Digitize Blocks’ do. As soon as you start getting into editing embroidery designs, or even digitizing (i.e creating) your own, this is where getting proper education & training makes a HUGE difference. ***In the simplest of terms: Using majority of the tools in your software requires an understanding of the age-old theory behind creating & editing embroidery designs***. You may not know this, but before embroidery software those who digitized embroidery designs apprenticed for 10 years to learn and master their trade (in those days it was called punching). Why so long? Because certain rules govern the different stitch types & change based on the different fabrics they’re embroidered onto. This means that the tools in your software must be used in a specific way to produce production friendly results for your machine.
## **Where Can I Find Quality Training & Resources on Embroidery Theory?**
Thankfully learning the beautiful art of manipulating stitches to create custom embroidery designs no longer takes anywhere close to 10 years given how advanced today’s embroidery software is.

### [Embroidery Monograms | Your Complete Guide for Best Results](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-use-monogram-embroidery-design-fonts/)
**Published:** August 11, 2025
**Author:** Embroidery Legacy
**Content:**
You know those wonderful symbols which stamp an item “forever mine” and look pretty good doing it? That’s right; I’m talking about the monogram! Monograms create something personable and are a prestigious way to mark something your own, which can be why they are so expensive. We’re going to show you how to create your own monograms without the hefty price tag.
This article will cover:
- [What monograms and ciphers are, where they came from and where they can go](#)
- [Embroidery monogram fonts](#)
- [Some ideas to personalize your own monogram using embroidery software and ways to create monogram embroidery into something uniquely your own](#)
- [Tips when creating monograms](#)
- [And finally, how to digitize custom monogram designs](#)
## What Is A Monogram?
A monogram is a motif made by overlapping, intertwining, or combining two or more letters to form one new symbol. Monograms combine the initials of an individual or a company, and these can be used as recognizable symbols or logos.
Want an easier way to think of it? When you combine letters, and each one depends on the other to contribute a portion, it is a Monogram (mono=one). It makes up one new symbol.
Want to make it a little more complicated?
Ciphers! They bring to mind ultimate spy movies and code-breaking but sorry, this kind of cipher is a bunch of letters on your gym duffle bag. A cipher also combines letters, but they don’t have to be layered or overlapped, and if you took one out of the set, it would be readable. A series of unconnected initials is properly referred to as a cipher and is not a monogram.
Need a visual?
A monogram looks like this: (2 or more letters intertwined to make a new symbol)
(Thomas Jefferson) Look carefully…
Need a bit more help?
Johann Sebastian Bach
Many monograms were letters from the owner’s name intertwined forward and backward.
A cipher (remember it is the opposite of what you have always thought) is two or more letters and are not woven together, however, they can overlap. Such as the image below.
This image was made using our [**ESA font Diamond Monogram 50 mm** ](https://www.wilcomembroideryfonts.com/product/diamond-monogram-50mm-font/).
> It sounds confusing, but **nowadays, “monogram” has also come to mean anything sewn, painted, engraved, embroidered, or embossed on clothing, luggage, books, and as many things as you can imagine. They are intended as a mark of ownership, some simple and some plain.**

Now that we know a bit about the differences between monograms and ciphers. **Let’s look at the history.** You will probably know more than you think about them and might be surprised if you poke around in history books to see how many you already know!
Monograms first appeared on coins as early as 350BC. The earliest known examples are of the names of Greek cities which issued the coins, often the first two letters of the city’s name. Monograms have been used as signatures by artists and craftsmen on paintings, sculptures, and furniture, especially when guilds enforced measures against unauthorized participation in the trade.
### What Are Monograms Used For?
Some companies and organizations adopt a monogram for a logo, usually with the letters of their acronym. So that we don’t overstep copyright, we will not name them here but let’s say that numerous sports teams and designer companies have monograms. **Fashion** is a heavy user of monograms. There are three major purse designers that all use ciphers for their logos (remember, a cipher is a grouping that allows you to read the individual letters). These have all become internationally known “logos” for these brands.
### Problems With Monograms
I want to introduce you to my good friend Beauregard Pernicious Robespierre. (not his real name…) Let’s think about the letters BPR. Should we take these letters and stack them one on top of another, you end up with a B with a bit of tail on it.
Not really readable, right? So if this is a monogram (intertwined letters to form a new symbol), this just does not work. To have a monogram, you sometimes have to get creative with it! You could try this.
Not super readable either, right? If you glance at it, you see B with a bit of tail. You can also turn letters around (a famous handbag and clothing designer comes immediately to mind).
Better but now reading as B and R. Sometimes the choices are not there, so you have to go a different direction. How about this?
> Now, this is a cipher. It is readable; I can take one letter out, read it and still see the other letters. There is a Large R in the middle- **generally speaking (but not a rule), the middle letter represents the last name, the left the first name, and the right the middle (or maiden) name.** This cipher is the most common type for shirt cuffs, pockets, collars, bags etc.

Please note that in some [**embroidery softwares**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-software/digitizing/), these are called “monograms,” even though we call them ciphers in this article. The use of the word monogram is okay because that is in the English vernacular.
## Embroidery Monogram Fonts
There are many different ways to embroider a monogram, but the most effective ones require some form of embroidery software.
Yes, you can purchase [**finished monogram embroidery designs**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/?s=monogram&post_type=product&type_aws=true&aws_id=1&aws_filter=1&product_count=150), but most professional embroidered monograms are made with keyboard fonts whether they be ELF, ESA, BX or Truetype formats ([**click here to view a complete guide on the different embroidery font types**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-fonts/)).
### How To Create A Monogram
You can create a Monogram (one set of intertwined letters) in several ways…
Choose 2 or 3 (or more if you are adventuresome) letters in a font you like. Remember not to choose a complicated font because the more details you add, the harder it will be to read the letters. Here is a simple one: KAK
Here is a monogram for Karen Kirkegaard Autumnbow (famous International jetsetter and international spy). Be inventive!! You will notice that together the Ks are symmetrical- if I turn one around, they can sit back to back and read well! The A is also symmetrical on its own, so it is perfect in the center.
Here are the two Ks together.
Here is the A added in.
Pretty cool, huh? The combinations for Monograms are endless!
**Remember that you need to work with each of these letters separately so that each letter is an individual unit that you can move around and manipulate. If you enter them all three together, you will have a cipher; they will be locked together and not be as creative.**
### Fonts For Embroidery Monograms
The hardest part is choosing your font and the layout of how you want to stylize your letters. Each different font and single tweak to a design can greatly impact what your outcome will look like. This is fun because no matter what you change, it will look different! You’re able to personalize monograms more than you know.
Did you know at Embroidery Legacy we offer more than 1,000+ Embroidery fonts (including ELF, BX, ESA and Stitch File fonts)? We believe the more embroidery fonts equals more creative potential. Each of our fonts have been tested and inspected by John Deer, the world’s most awarded embroidery digitizer. We guarantee every one of our fonts will give professional results each time!
> Did we mention we have several font categories to choose from? Our categories range from applique, basic, 3D, gothic, monograms, holidays, script, just to name a few! [**Click here to check out our over 1,000 embroidery fonts we offer.**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-fonts/)

Now things can get interesting…
We have a pretty cool arrangement; it looks interesting and flows well, but we can do a little more… *and a little more is a good thing*. Why not try adding an element- a branch, leaf flower, swirls, anything that expresses “you!” Here is the same monogram but with two simple elements added.
-
Simple, clean, and nice. It should be noted that when you start, start simple! Less is usually more, and you have to remember that these are generally not used in a large format like a full back piece on a jacket. Until you know what works be very simple. When using nature elements, keep in mind that natural things grow in natural ways. They do not have to be symmetrical or perfect.
### Tips To Creating Monograms For Embroidery Machines
Now that we have looked at these basic ways of doing ciphers/monograms, let us look at the most challenging. Want to go crazy? Digitize your own! A monogram done by you is the most personal thing you can make. With a few simple guidelines, you can be up and running creating your own history. Start by deciding what letters you need and what characteristics they have (symmetrical, circles, triangles etc). Look at examples other artists have done throughout history. Ready?
When designing a monogram, you can take three letters (or so) and sketch them out. Here is a monogram for EBH in the sketch (on the back of an electric bill)) and how it ended up. There is an E and a B, and two H’s crisscrossed to make a nice framework. He was looking for a shape he liked and then fit the letters in.
Tips to creating the perfect monogram:
1. **Start simple.** Use a simple font; if it is too complicated, you will be the only one who knows what it says. Start simple, learn what works for you and then develop your skill.
2. **A little planning goes a long way!** Plan a shape, a theme, a “skeleton” to build on.
3. **Less is more** when you have a working copy, print it out, and stand back. How does it look from 10 feet away? If I walk in the room and see linens, will it look good from farther away than a computer screen?
4. **Add elements sparingly.** Too many small elements will give you bullet-proof embroidery.
Here are some ideas from our very own, Linda Rayburn. She has brought so many beautiful and inventive uses of the historic monogram combined with the modern twist frames, borders, and fills. Besides being beautiful- her monograms are extremely stitch-friendly. They could have only a few trims which make for a soft and supple stitch out. It seems intimidating at first, but with practice, this becomes a sort of game to be the fewest trims possible.
Beautiful GA example.
MM This is a very inventive example, if you have two letters that are identical, why make them the same? Combining here gave a lovely example.
## How To Digitize Monograms Designs
Here are a few great tips from our very own Linda Rayburn, known for providing great tips for your digitizing needs!
- Always print the artwork.
- Find the objects that are furthest back in the design and start there.
- Use a pencil or colored pencils to path the design and make notes of challenging areas.
- Properly path the underlapping and overlapping Satin objects with Run stitches for efficient stitching.
- Always test stitch your design and watch it sew out. Stop your machine when you see a section that could be changed or improved, and make a note of it on your artwork. Go back and revise the design
- Start with simple designs and have fun!
- Linda applies the theory of properly pathing designs and digitizing lettering she learned in [**John Deer’s Digitizer’s Dream Course**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-classes/digitizing-education/) whenever she creates Monograms and Ciphers.

### [How to Embroider Mylar Designs: Tutorial](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-mylar-machine-embroidery-designs/)
**Published:** August 11, 2025
**Author:** Embroidery Legacy
**Content:**
Mylar embroidery designs have gained popularity recently as they’re a great way to add some sparkle to your next embroidery project! Rather than using metallic embroidery thread, using **[mylar embroidery designs](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-designs/applique/mylar/)** is a more affordable alternative that adds a glitter-like appearance.
## What are Mylar Embroidery Designs?
> If *you’ve never personally seen a mylar design, they are really a cool creative idea. M****ylar is shiny & reflective; by putting a sheet of mylar into an embroidery design partway through the sewing process (much like an applique), more light reflects off the design & gives it a beautiful sheen.***

> [Tweet](/)
Mylar itself is a shiny plastic film used for many things, not only embroidery. When purchasing mylar for embroidery, you want to buy the thin sheets. Do not purchase mylar balloons & try to use these for machine embroidery. It is far too thick & will not yield the same results.
> *Add a dazzling touch to your embroidery projects with* [***mylar embroidery sheets.***](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-equipment-products/)
>

>
> [Tweet](/)
The true beauty of using mylar is that in terms of color, it has a one size fits all approach. You don’t have to buy separate colors of mylar. Instead, mylar picks up whatever color of thread you’re using on top of it! This means that after initially tacking the mylar down, you can let your machine run without having to add in multiple pieces.
## Are Mylar Embroidery Designs Digitized Differently?
Mylar embroidery designs are digitized with a thinner density specifically for the thin film of mylar to be added underneath the fill areas and allow light to penetrate between the stitches and create a beautiful glitter-like effect. Like an applique design, digitizing mylar requires a tack-down running stitch to hold the material in place.
That being said, you can embroider mylar embroidery designs without inserting a sheet of mylar however, you can not embroider a regular embroidery design with a piece of mylar.
## Tutorial: How to Embroider A Mylar Embroidery Design
Trying any new embroidery technique can be daunting at first, but it’s almost always worth it! Remember the first time you stitched out an applique design? Follow the steps in this tutorial when sewing out a mylar design:
**Step 1:** Find a mylar design you want to embroider.
> **[Click here view our collection of mylar embroidery designs now](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-designs/applique/mylar/).**

> [Tweet](/)
**Step 2:** Run your regular embroidery element until you reach the “Placement Line,” which will stitch a single running stitch outlining the shape for mylar placement.
**Step 3:** Place one piece of mylar film over the “Placement Line,” use painter’s tape if needed to hold mylar in place.
**Step 4:** Start your embroidery machine and stitch “Tack Down” single running stitch.
**Step 5:** Embroider all the loose-fill stitch elements on the mylar film.
**Step 6:** Before embroidering the finishing outline stitch, tear away the mylar film.
**Step 7:** Once the mylar film has been completely removed, embroider the finishing outline stitches within the design.

## Can I Add Mylar To Existing Embroidery Designs?
Can I Add Mylar To Existing Embroidery Designs?
One of the questions we often get asked regarding mylar is, can existing embroidery designs be edited for mylar?
The answer is yes! However, you need to determine if your editing time will be worthwhile.
To assess if it’s worth it, we highly suggest having both embroidery and digitizing experience. Also, having the native file format for the software you own will help determine how easily adding mylar can be done.
Check out our YouTube video below as John shows you how he edits a fairy design he digitized years ago to be able to stitch out perfectly with some mylar shine.
## Tips when Embroidering with Mylar
1. Don’t put the finished item in the dryer on high heat when embroidering laundered items with mylar. Laundering, in general, shouldn’t cause issues (except the normal wear and tear).
2. Use [**quality embroidery designs**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-designs/applique/mylar/) that were digitized properly for mylar. Don’t forget to check out our large collection of mylar designs!

### [How To Fix Embroidery Machine Bobbin Thread From Showing On Top](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-fix-embroidery-bobbin-thread/)
**Published:** August 11, 2025
**Author:** Embroidery Legacy
**Content:**
Step right up, folks. It’s the embroidery horror show! Got your attention? This topic lurks under the surface but rears its ugly head in the wrong places from time to time…
What is that scary situation? It happens when you see the bubbly bobbin thread on top as it peeks at the edges of letters and objects. How can we stop it, and why does it happen?
If you have ever used a black bobbin thread under a white stitch-out, you may have seen those annoying little loops of black bobbin edging your white design. If this has happened, you’ve experienced bobbin problems. Your bobbin thread should not be showing on the top of your design.
Bobbin thread showing on top of your design can be caused by a few factors, including when you stitch very narrow satin stitch or narrow tatami stitch lines and when there are tension or lint debris issues with your machine.
## Bobbin Thread In Embroidery (what it’s Used for & Why)
Sewing and embroidery machines use a “lock stitch,” which twists the top and bottom thread together by turning the bobbin past the needle as it dips into the machine to create an [**embroidery design**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-designs/). The bobbin is usually plastic for home machines and metal or paper for embroidery machines.
Bobbin thread is relatively thin, generally 60 wt (remember the higher the number, the thinner the thread), and most often sold pre-wound in white or black. It is very strong and usually not twisted like other threads; it is a single long strand called *monofilament*.
## Why Is My Bobbin Thread Showing On Top?
There are many reasons why your bobbin thread can show on the top, but here are the top three reasons:
- **The bobbin is incorrectly seated**, going the wrong way, and not correctly running through the tension spring. Refer to your manual, but a good rule of thumb is that it doubles back on itself. Here is what it usually looks like:
- **The bobbin tension is too loose** (or the top tension is too tight). This is a tricky one! There is a friendly tug of war in a sewing or embroidery machine, and the goal is for the bobbin to be a bit greedy and pull that top thread down underneath a little! Don’t try to adjust your settings without consulting your manual, and if the problem is severe, check with your dealer or repair shop.
- **Know about your machine’s tension.** A simple “H test” will tell you a *lot* of information about what is going on under there. Many embroidery machines have this available within the machine. If not, you can create an embroidery file with Capital Hs.
- - When stitched out, you will check the back of the stitched sample and gauge how far under the top thread is being pulled.
- You should have 1/3 bobbin thread in the middle and 1/3 of each top thread on either side.
- If they meet in the middle, the top thread is too loose or your bobbin is too tight. (It’s getting pulled together).
- If the top thread barely shows on either side, then the top thread is too tight, or your bobbin is too loose and will eventually pull the bobbin thread up
> *Though the H test will not tell you exactly **what** is happening, it will tell you **if** something is happening. Every embroiderer should have this file to test and use regularly.*

## How Do I Stop Bobbin Thread From Showing On Top?
Here are three ways to improve your stitching and get better results:
### 1. Keep your bobbin case and area clean and free of lint and dust.
Although getting out that can of compressed air sounds good- **leave it on the shelf**! Blowing, even at lower pressures, can drive fuzzies and dirt down into your machine, and you will not be able to reach them.
Little fuzzies can also drag the bobbin thread or force the tension flap spring open. Pay attention to your top tension in single-needle machines or your multi-needle too. Routinely check the bobbin area and thread path for debris and dust off with a soft brush. Making a dust cover for your machine will keep it clean and ready.
For the multi-needle users, make sure the tension flap on the bobbin case is clean. Slipping a business card under the flap is an easy way to remove lint and dirt. Please make sure not to bend the flap but this will help dislodge anything holding it open.
For our multi-needle friends, always follow the machine manual on oiling your machine. Dry-dragging bobbins can create problems too! A word of caution regarding oiling, more is *not* better. Over-oiling can also leave a puddle of oil which can slow things down.
### 2. Slow down your machine.
Just because your machine *can* go 800-1000 stitches per minute does not mean that it will produce the best stitch-out. The faster the machine goes, the less “rebound time” for the thread. The top thread can then pull up your bobbin thread.
### 3. Use bobbin thread for your bobbin.
It is designed to be thinner, adding less bulk to your stitch-out and allowing it to glide easily. Most bobbins come pre-wound in black or white. Magnetic bobbins are also an option for multi-needle machine users; the magnetic hold on the metal bobbin case reduces the “rebound” of the bobbin and allows the thread to be evenly released.
## Conclusion: Bobbin Thread Mistakes Can Be Easily Prevented
Of course, this scratches the surface, but if you have to have a takeaway from this session- keep your embroidery machine clean and educate yourself about how it works! The more you understand how the stitches are made and the components of your machine, the better an embroiderer you will become.

Want to add a touch of personality to your garments? Pocket embroidery design makes it easier than you might think (with no sewing involved)!
If you’ve ever glanced at an item and thought that could use something extra, you’re not alone! Embroidering pockets is a great way to add creativity and style to your projects.
You can use them on pants, and they are also stylish and functional for shirts, bags, and placemats!
## How To Machine Embroider A Pocket
You can personalize your pocket with your thread color and the fabric you’ll use as your applique!
There are pocket embroidery designs with all the different embellishments that make it so easy to upcycle your garment!

The process of making a pocket design is quite simple!
Items you’ll need: - Iron-on fusible no-show mesh stabilizer
- Tear-away stabilizer
- Fabric for your pocket
- Matching embroidery thread
- [**Pocket embroidery design**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-embroider-a-tee-shirt-tutorial/)
> Our pocket patterns include two files. The first file allows you to embroider the pocket, and the second attaches your embroidered pocket to your garment.

Tips to consider: - **Pre-wash the applique fabric before stitching it onto the shirt.** Manufacturers typically make T-shirts from knit fabric that doesn’t shrink. The cotton applique on the pocket may shrink if you embroider it onto the shirt and then wash it.
- **Apply HeatnBond to the applique fabric** before tacking it down to help the design stay in place. It also keeps the fabric from unraveling around the outside edges.
Let’s start!
## Embroidery Pocket Tutorial
**Step 1:** Place the applique material upside down and iron on fusible no-show mesh stabilizer (this helps avoid fraying later on in the project).
**Step 2:** Hoop your tear-away stabilizer. Add your design file to your embroidery machine. After your first tack-down placement stitch, stop your machine.
**Step 3:** Place the very end of your applique material and no-show mesh fusible sandwich over the placement stitch and run the following placement stitches.
**Step 4:** Fold the applique material tightly over the placement stitch (you can use painters tape to hold the end down), then run the tack down and decorative stitches.
**Step 5:** Remove your design from the hoop and cut closely along the stitch line.
**Step 6:** Tear away all the stabilizer.
**Step 7:** Hoop the garment you’ll be applying your pocket to with a cut-away stabilizer. (Using a T-pin can help mark the center of your hoop and placement stitches.) Add your second pocket file to your machine.

### [Reverse Applique Machine Embroidery Tutorial](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-embroider-reverse-applique-machine-embroidery/)
**Published:** August 11, 2025
**Author:** Bethany Deer
**Content:**
Using different techniques within your embroidery can create some amazing results! Among the many techniques, one often forgotten is reverse applique embroidery. It’s not only fun but also creates one-of-a-kind garments. Although it’s similar to regular applique, do you know how to embroider it?

Reverse applique is very similar to regular [**applique embroidery**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/applique-embroidery-designs-how-to-techniques/). Regular applique involves placing the fabric on the TOP of the garment. On the other hand, reverse applique involves placing fabric BEHIND the garment. Reverse applique adds depth, texture, and dimension to your project by revealing fabric underneath your embroidery design.

Here’s a few of our favorites:
Don’t forget to check out our large selection of 3,000+ [**embroidery applique designs**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-designs/applique/) you can use this technique on.
## When Should I Use Reverse Applique In My Embroidery?
Do you have a favorite shirt or pants that fit perfectly but have a stain from dropped mustard? Maybe your daughter or grandson had a few too many falls, and the knees in their new pants are wearing thin. Don’t throw them away! This is a great cause to use the reverse applique technique.
From stains and holes to making something new, this technique can enhance your garments as you want.
## Stitch Types For Creating Reverse Applique Embroidery
You can create this technique by using either of the two different stitch types: the running stitch and the satin stitch.
When you use the running stitch, it will show the raw edge of the fabric.
When you use the satin stitch, it will show a clean edge. Before embroidering your last satin stitching, you need to cut away the top fabric.

Put the applique fabric (dark blue fabric in this photo) underneath your garment to embroider (canvas material in this example). Hoop the garment this way and place it on your machine. You don’t need a stabilizer since the design only consists of running stitches.
### Step 2: Embroider Your Reverse Applique Design
Each design should be fairly quick to embroider. After it finishes embroidering, take the embroidered garment off the hoop.
### Step 3: Trim The Applique Fabric From Behind
Turn the garment inside out and trim the applique close to your design using applique scissors. When we finish the project, you will not be able to see the inside of the design.
### Step 4: Trim Your Garment Material
Flip the clothing so it’s right-side-up, and separate the fabric from your material using two fingers.
Carefully trim along the inside edge of the running stitch, only cutting your garment material. This will reveal the applique fabric underneath for a reverse applique effect. How much of an edge you leave will depend on the look of the edge you want. Leaving space makes a long fringe; cutting close causes short fraying of the fabric.
### Step 5: You Have Completed It!
This is what the design will look like before you launder it. After you launder the garment, the exposed edges will fray depending on the garment material you embroidered on.

## How To Embroider Placemats
There are a few ways to create beautifully embroidered placemats with a pre-made blank.
Let’s look at two types.
**Double layer placemats**
These are just finished ” bags ” like sewing shut a pillowcase). You can open the edge of these and embroider on them and close them back up! This way, the back side of the embroidery is covered and not seen.
**Single layer placemats**
Sometimes it’s hard to open up a placemat but don’t worry! It is possible to embroider it.
## Stabilizer/Hooping Embroidered Placemats
Placemats are more durable than clothing. Therefore, it’s not necessary to live by the “if you wear it, don’t tear it” motto.
**Placemats covered with a backing: use tear-away stabilizer**(so the back side of the embroidery doesn’t show).
For **placemats that don’t have a back covering: use wash-away (**so you don’t show any stabilizer left behind).
Hooping is easy; we’ll follow our regular rules—hoop with the smallest hoop available for the embroidery design you choose.
Lay the placemat on the hoop and hoop naturally without overstretching. Feel free to float your placemats (lay them on an already hooped stabilizer) since they are fairly small and not heavy.
## Embroidery Design Placemat Placement
This is *so subjective!* Placement is truly up to you. The center, sides, and corners are all fair game. Before deciding on a placement, consider whether the embroidery will remain visible once the plate is set down.

### [Expert Guide: Embroidering Terry Cloth Towels Tutorial](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-embroider-on-towels-terry-cloth-tutorial/)
**Published:** August 11, 2025
**Author:** Embroidery Legacy
**Content:**
When I finally got brave enough to take my embroidery machine out of the box, the first item I embroidered was a towel. I figured, how hard could it be? Well… it wasn’t quite as easy as I thought, and I managed to make plenty of mistakes.
But, it’s been about 10 years since that first attempt, and since then, I’ve learned from all my mishaps. At this point, I could probably monogram a towel in my sleep. Having done this for so long, I now know what I need to do to achieve the best results.
Although there are a few tactics to keep in mind, embroidering a name, monogram, or a design on a terry cloth towel is still an appropriate project for a beginner. The terry cloth material is fairly easy to work with because it doesn’t stretch and tear. Plus, towels are flat, so they are easy to embroider without excess fabric getting in the way. And, finally, towels (especially dish towels) are pretty inexpensive. So, if you screw one up, you’re not out too much.
Once you master embroidering on terry cloth materials, there are loads of projects you can tackle beyond adding a simple name or monogram on a towel. And, they all make fantastic gifts for a variety of recipients on many different occasions.
## Personalizing All Types Of Terry Cloth Items
### Monogrammed Bath Towels
A monogrammed bath towel set is an inexpensive and thoughtful gift for a newly engaged or married couple. What better way to celebrate their combined home and shared initial? You can even purchase the towels off their registry and add a monogram. What couple wouldn’t like that gift? Looking back on the towel collection my husband and I owned when we were first married, a monogrammed set of bath towels would have been a huge upgrade.
If you decide to monogram a set of towels for a couple, you can either do a traditional monogram or a more modern-looking single initial. If you choose a traditional monogram, it is customary to place the last name initial in the center, the woman’s first name initial on the left, and the man’s initial on the right.
> *The type of* **[*embroidery font*](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-fonts/)** *you choose can make or break a project! Choose from over 1,000+ different font types to perfectly embellish your next project!*
>

> [Tweet](/)
If, on the other hand, you choose a single initial monogram, there are a lot of options. I really like the look of a single initial flanked with a decorative border.
### Personalized Luxurious Terry Cloth Robes
Another great gift for a bride and groom is personalizing a coordinating set of monogrammed robes. Once you master embroidering on a terry cloth towel, a terry cloth robe is really no different. And, if they are a newly engaged or married couple, it’s unlikely that they have matching robes yet.
### Hooded Bath Towels Are The Perfect Baby Gift
Another type of towel that you can personalize with your embroidery machine is a hooded bath towel – the perfect baby gift! Hooded towels make it so easy to bundle up the baby when getting out of the bath. When our kids were babies, I think hooded towels were the only ones we used on them.
There are tons of fun appliqué designs that can be stitched on the front of the hood, like monster faces and other characters, but a simple monogram or name is also a great option to embellish a hooded towel.
### Beach Towels Are Great Kid Gifts
If the kids you’re stitching for are too old for hooded baby towels, consider personalizing a beach towel on your embroidery machine. each towels are useful throughout the year for hot tubbing, indoor swimming, and swim team practice. Plus, when the kid inevitably leaves their towel at a friend’s house or a public pool, they will more likely get it back if their name is stitched on it.
You can usually find high-quality beach towels at places like Costco or Sam’s Club. But, the availability (at least in the Midwest) is seasonal, so you need to stock up in the summertime to be able to give personalized beach towels year-round.
### Hand Towels Are Great For A Hostess Gift Or Home Decor
If you’re looking for a fun and easy personalized host/hostess gift as you hit the holiday party circuit, pick up some hand or dish towels at your local Marshalls or TJ Maxx and stitch out a festive design with the family’s name.
There are some pretty elegant, hilarious, and festive designs that you can purchase and then personalize by adding the last name of the house onto the bottom.
## Challenges Of Embroidering On Terry Cloth Towels
Now that I’ve convinced you that terry cloth items make great gifts for just about anyone, you may be wondering what you should know before embroidering on this type of material. The primary challenge you will encounter is proper placement of the embroidery design on the towel (or robe) and getting the embroidery design to cover this highly textured fabric. Terry cloth material has a significant nap, and the fibers of the fabric will want to poke through the stitches of your embroidery design.
For this reason, successful embroidery on towels begins with choosing an appropriate embroidery design. If you are stitching letters (such as a monogram) on a towel, choose a typeface with strokes that are not too thin. Very thin letters will get lost in the surrounding nap of the terry cloth fabric.
If you are stitching out a decorative design, a well-digitized design that includes a crucial layer of stitching to help tack down the fabric fibers before the final layer of stitching will yield the best results. Designs digitized with this extra layer of underlay look more polished once they are stitched out.

Also, considering this blog is about embroidering on towels, not digitizing on towels, I’ll spare you from some more in-depth details about digitizing on towels. However, if you want more details, check out the article I wrote called **[*Embroidery Digitizing for Towels*](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-digitizing-towels-terry-cloth/)**. Anyways, back to Julie’s wonderful article!
## How To Embroider Towels With Your Embroidery Machine
### Choosing The Appropriate-Sized Design
Ensure the embroidery design you select to stitch out on your towel is an appropriate size for the towel you are stitching on. A teeny tiny design on a large bath towel will get lost in a sea of terry cloth. And a design that is too large, for example, on a hand towel, will not be adequately displayed when folded in thirds and hung over a towel bar. Typically, a 4” x 4” design is an appropriate size for a hand towel.
The monograms that I embroider on large bath towels are typically about 4 inches tall by 4 inches wide. For the coordinating hand towel, I will stitch out a monogram about 3” x 3”.
### Hoop or Float A Towel For Embroidery
One method I’m a fan of is floating the towel instead of hooping it. Hooping a towel (or something made of terry cloth material) can be difficult for beginners because of the thickness of the material. Plus, forcing towels into the hoop can distort and stretch the knap of the fibers. Floating means that you hoop the stabilizer, then stick the towel to the hooped stabilizer.
Adhesive-backed tear away is my stabilizer of choice when embroidering on towels. I simply hoop it with the glossy side up and the hooping tight enough that I could bounce a quarter off of it. Then I score around the inside edge of the hoop with a pin to allow me to peel away the paper, exposing the sticky surface.
Regular tear away stabilizer also works well for embroidering on towels; you will just need to spray the hooped stabilizer with a temporary adhesive. It’s a good idea to make a simple cardboard mask to cover your embroidery hoop while you spray the tear away with temporary adhesive. It keeps your hoop from getting sticky.
### Placing The Design On The Towel
Centering the design on the towel is simple once you have the tear away stabilizer hooped. On the hooped stabilizer, draw a line marking the center line both horizontally and vertically. If you are using regular tear away and spray adhesive, draw the lines before spraying the adhesive. However, if you use adhesive-backed tear away, draw the lines on the tear away after exposing the sticky paper.
Now you have to decide where you want to place the center of the embroidery design on the towel. I typically center a monogram on a large bath towel about 8 inches up from the bottom edge of the towel. For a hand towel, I would use a distance of about 5 inches from the bottom edge. You may need to adjust this distance if your towel has a decorative border. When this is the case, I make sure that the bottom edge of the design is at least 1” from the border so that the design or monogram has a bit of breathing room.
The next step is to line up the center point of the hooped stabilizer with the center point of your desired location of the embroidery design. To do this, I first mark the center point of the bottom edge of the towel and the center point of the design using a pin. Then I fold the towel along that vertical line with right sides together. Line up the pin by marking the center of the design with the center point of the stabilizer and aligning the fold of the towel with the vertical line drawn on the stabilizer. Once one half is stuck to the stabilizer, unfold the towel and smooth it out.

### Floating A Water-Soluble Topper On Top of The Towel
To ensure your stitching looks continuous, always float a piece of water-soluble topper over the towel before you start stitching. To help prevent this topper from bunching up while stitching, place the topper smooth side up.
> *A water-soluble topper prevents towel fibers from poking through the stitching*

If you are working with towels with a very thick nap and are concerned about towel fibers poking through your stitching, you can also cover your towel with a piece of tulle. After you stitch out your design or monogram, simply tear the tulle away from the stitched area.
I usually use white bobbin thread when stitching out all my embroidery designs. However, if you want the back side of the towel to look more “finished,” you can match your bobbin thread to your top thread. Of course, the monogram will read backward on the back of the towel.
## Cleaning Up Your Stitching For A More Polished Look
Once you finish stitching out your design or monogram, you can remove the towel from the hoop and clean it up. Trim all your jump stitches with a nipper. Peel away the water-soluble topper from the front side of your towel and as much tear away stabilizer as possible from the back side of your towel. Spritzing the front and the back of the towel with water and letting it soak in a bit will make your topper dissolve on the front and make the tear away come off the back of the towel more easily.

### [How to Embroider on Toilet Paper: Complete Tutorial & Tips](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-embroider-on-toilet-paper-guide/)
**Published:** August 11, 2025
**Author:** Jesse Deer
**Content:**
I’ve got to be honest; when I first heard of embroidering on toilet paper, I thought it was a crappy idea (yes, pun intended). It seemed like home embroiderers were grabbing random household items and stitching on them. I mean, what’s next? The carpet?
After realizing its potential, we decided to join in on the fun of embroidering toilet paper. So why would you want to embroider on toilet paper?
The method we use to embroider on TP may differ from other ways you’ve seen, but we’ve found this less likely to break! Don’t forget to scroll to the bottom for a free embroidery design for toilet paper to try this method yourself!
## Why Put Embroidery on Toilet Paper
Embroidering on TP is a great way to add a personal embroidered touch to your bathroom. Whether you’re decorating for the holidays or just giving your guests something to chuckle about while going about their business, it is just plain old embroidery fun.
Embroidered toilet paper can also make an excellent gift for someone hard to buy for, especially if it’s personalized. Who can say they have a personal roll of toilet paper? You can create a personalized roll for any occasion, from a new house owner to a birthday bash; you will never be without a gift!
Did we mention it’s super easy and quick to embroider, too?
## Supplies Required for Embroidering Toilet Paper
- Toilet paper (of course)
- No show mesh embroidery stabilizer
- Embroidery hoop
- Exacto knife
- Binder clips
- Felt pads
- Embroidery designs –[**Tinkle All The Way**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/product/embroidery-design-tinkle-all-the-way-tp-3-01w-x-2-97h/) was used for this project

**Tip:** Use a higher ply of toilet paper to embroider on. Not only does it feel better to use, but it is also stronger, decreasing the likelihood that it will break while embroidering. Both ways, it’s less of a pain in your rear end (OK, seriously, I’ll stop with these jokes now).
With the items above, you’ll want to add a felt pad to one side of your binder clips (you’ll need 4). This allows the toilet paper to slide on the machine’s surface rather than catch it.
## Embroidering On Toilet Paper Tutorial
**Step 1: Hoop your no-show stabilizer and run the placement stitch.**
- Once your stabilizer is hooped, place your hoop on the machine and embroider the design placement stitches.

>

>
> [Tweet](/)
**Step 2: Cut slits around the placement stitch to insert clips.**
- Use your exacto knife to cut four small slits around the placement stitches, as shown below. This allows the clips to be inserted.
- Line the toilet paper to the placement guide stitches.
- Carefully take the clips you created and slide the felt piece underneath the slit, leaving the top binder clamp on top.
- You’ll do this four times, once for each of four of the slits you cut to hold your piece securely in place.
**Step 3: Embroider your design.**
- Be super careful not to tear your project when placing your hoop back on the machine.
**Step 4: Remove the stabilizer and roll up your toilet paper.**
- Take the hoop off your machine and carefully remove the clips.
- Remove the stabilizer from your hoop (we can’t stress enough to be careful!)
- Once you remove the hoop, take a pair of scissors and cut away the excess no-show mesh stabilizer from the back of your design.
- Roll up the toilet paper and carefully clean up any loose stitches that might be showing by cutting them away with scissors.
- Thats it. Congratulations, you’ve just embroidered on toilet paper!

### [How To Easily Machine Embroider On Breathtaking Lightweight Fabrics](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-embroider-on-thin-light-fabrics/)
**Published:** August 11, 2025
**Author:** Embroidery Legacy
**Content:**
Everyone loves chiffon, tulle, and light, fluffy fabrics, but when it comes to embroidery, who loves to actually *embroider* on them?
There are many times in which you would love to put some of your creativity to use for a bridal, cocktail, and other special occasions, but when you try, you end up with a wadded mess and ruined fabric.
Chiffon, satin, tulle, and other sheer fabrics can be challenging to sew, much less embroider. These are some delicate fabrics, so let’s tackle a tricky problem. Let’s discuss suggestions to make embroidering these fabrics easier and how to get the best results possible. Let’s look at which designs do and do not work, how the thread and machine used affects the finished results, and what types of aids you can use.
## What Are Tulle, Chiffon, Organza, and Satin Fabrics?
### Tulle Fabric
Tulle is created using fine silk or cotton thread wound on bobbin lace bobbins and twisted together by hand, effectively creating a fish net.
> *The advantage of the bobbinet was that it did not unravel since it was knotted and, if torn, could be repaired.*

### Chiffon Fabric
Chiffon is an airy and light fabric. Originally created in silk, this is a woven fabric that uses highly twisted threads woven with the thread twist alternating back and forth in warp and weft. The twist in the crepe yarns puckers the fabric slightly in both directions after weaving, giving it some stretch and a slightly rough feel.
> *Since this is a woven fabric, it will fray and unravel and needs to have rolled seams to finish.*

### Organza Fabric
Organza is a woven fabric originally made of silk. Its quality is also measured by holes per inch.
> *Like chiffon, it uses tightly twisted threads; they are combed and treated with acid to give a stiffer feel. Organza is now made from polyester but requires additional care.*

### Satin Fabric
Satin is not sheer, but it is tricky! It is also a weave but really a weave on top of another weave. Scattered in between warp threads, weft threads skip over several warps to produce a smooth layer on the top of the fabric with longer jumps of shiny thread.
> *This produces a matte backside and a luxurious top side.*

## Considerations When Embroidering On Tulle, Chiffon, Organza, and Satin Fabrics
When designing a [machine embroidery design or pattern](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-designs/) for sheer fabrics and execution, there are many things to consider. Remember that even with the best planning, there may be occasions when it is just not possible, but we’re going to get you a good foundation. Let’s look at the main points to remember when planning your project.
### Embroidery Designs For Sheer Fabrics
You’ve thought of your project, your fabric or garment, and you are planning your design. Of course you know that embroidering on chiffon is nothing like denim!
Here are three considerations for you as you plan!
**1) Stitch density** – Having a stitch-dense-filled design works on denim and other fabrics, but light and airy fabrics like tulle do not have enough material to support them.
> *Choose designs that are not filled with tatami or satin but rather designed for lace. Interested in learning more about [**embroidering freestanding lace? Click here**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-tutorial-free-standing-lace/) to a tutorial and tips!*

Lace designs are planned so a border is filled with a light zigzag fill. These shapes are connected with connectors so that the stitching has a good structure.

**2) Lines** – You may have a design that has long lines, stems, or other elements. Make sure to choose longer running stitches and avoid long lines of satin as these require many stitches to complete, and the structure of the tulle or other fabric will not support them. When the piece is released from the hoop, long satin lines will pucker and ripple, ruining your effect.
**3) Size** – Opt for smaller designs or objects connected with running stitches is always smarter. Think small or small groupings when planning for tulle, chiffon, or satin. Don’t plan to put that 80,000 stitch back patch on it.

## Considerations When Machine Embroidering On Light Fabrics
You have your fabric and now your design. You’ve taken into account the density and size; now what?
You will have some more considerations waiting for you at the hooping station and machine. Sheer fabrics are not used to being roughed up and require a soft touch when handling. Let’s look at hooping, floating, and stabilizing these fabrics.
### Hooping Light Fabrics
- You can easily hoop tulle chiffon and satin in magnetic hoops, but you will need to be gentle when hooping in standard hoops.
> *When choosing a hoop, use the smallest hoop you can to fit your design. Want more tips & tricks for [**embroidery hooping? Click here**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-hoop-machine-embroidery-tutorial/) to learn more.*
>
> Author Name
>
> [Tweet](/)
- Larger hoops will let the fabric travel. Don’t stretch them too tightly, or you will tear organza, chiffon, and tulle, and be sure to leave a little slack when using standard hoops.
- Satin will get damaged if you squish the fabric between the bottom and top hoop. With satin, particularly when you crush the fabric, you are actually moving the thread out of alignment, which will cause disfigurement. *Use tissue paper or paper towel to prevent hoop burn.*
> *Want to hoop without the struggle? [**Mighty Hoops**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/mighty-hoops/) make hooping easier than ever, providing perfect accuracy without hoop burn or material shifting. They work seamlessly with various multi-needle machines, so why not save yourself the frustration?*

### Floating Light Fabrics
- Floating (when you hoop only the stabilizer) your fabric is possible, ***but*** remember that pinning or stitching the fabric to stabilizers will leave marks. Your goal is to leave no trace or marks behind.
### Stabilizers For Light Fabrics
- Stabilizer is a MUST when working on light fabrics but not cutaway or tearaway for chiffon and tulle. The goal is to support the material while stitching and help keep the fabric from slipping around (*there is a trick coming up below…*). Let’s look at each fabric.
- **Satin:** for most satin projects, you can use **no-show mesh** but remember to consider what the garment is for; a prom dress with a square of cutaway stabilizer under the design will absolutely show and will ruin the flow of the fabric.
- **Tulle/Organza:** is now a nylon or polyester lace, so you will want to avoid iron away stabilizers as they could require an iron setting too hot for the fabric. A **heavyweight wash away** is excellent for this type of work, or two layers of medium or lightweight if you don’t have heavy weight.
- **Chiffon:** can go either way! If you can wash out the stabilizer, **the wash-away stabilizer** is an excellent choice since it lets the fabric remain supple. If you must use a “nonwash away” stabilizer, a no-show mesh trimmed close is a perfect choice.
> *NEVER use tear away stabilizer on chiffon fabric as this will create a crunchy stitch out on really soft material. [**Click here for more tips & tricks about embroidery stabilizer**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-use-machine-embroidery-stabilizer/).*
>
> Author Name
>
> [Tweet](/)
- **Iron Away Stabilizer:** this is a wonderful product, but unless you know the content of your material and if it can tolerate the heat needed to remove it, it’s best to use water-soluble.
- **Water Soluble:** there are many weights of water-soluble stabilizers; remember there is a difference between a topper (plastic wrap-like feel) and a heavyweight (cloth-like feel). Generally, the fabric-like materials can leave residue, and the plastic-like films can leave a sticky gel if not washed out thoroughly.
### Embroidery Thread For Light Fabrics
- Most use polyester thread because it is durable and versatile, but why not try rayon? Anyone who has worn a rayon garment knows they are soft and luscious, and rayon thread is the same. While not as durable, rayon thread is perfect for laces and soft, airy stitch-outs.

### Embroidery Machine Speed For Light Fabrics
- **Machine Speed –** Modern machines are capable of up to 1200 stitches (per minute), but we’re going to dial it ***waaaaay*** back. Yes, it takes a lot more time, but lightweight fabrics will contract when you stitch at high speed since they cannot handle the stress. SLOW is the way to GO!

## Tricks and Tips for Sheer Fabric In Machine Embroidery
Well, we’ve got our plans set, but here are some handy tips to keep in mind when working with these fabrics. Remember that **Free Standing Lace** has its own set of stabilizing rules. Today we are discussing embroidery on clothing, veils, and other soft flowing projects.
- Temporary Adhesive spray- a VERY light spray on your fabric of temporary spray will help it to adhere to the stabilizer. Don’t use too much as the residue, even though temporary, can remain. Always remember LESS IS MORE.
> *Want to learn more about using adhesives with your embroidery? [**Click here to read our Embroidery Adhesives article**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-use-machine-embroidery-adhesive-sprays/) to explain the pros and cons of different kinds available and to help you master using them without headaches & problems.*
>

>
> [Tweet](/)
- When cleaning polyester or nylon sheer fabrics of stabilizer or adhesive residue, try following a thorough rinse in warm water with a bit of alcohol. Remember to follow manufacturer instructions for the stabilizer, and then if that does not remove all reside a little isopropyl alcohol on a cotton ball and tease away the rest.
- When rinsing away the stabilizer, start by trimming away excess stabilizer (save it for later or make stabilizer spray!) and then immerse in warm water, gently moving the fabric. Try to only rinse the section with the embroidery. If it’s not too delicate, hold the fabric under a stream of running water.
> *Remember that some wash-away stabilizers have cellulose fibers, so make sure not just to rinse next to the stitching. Once dried, you may not be able to remove residue.*
>

> [Tweet](/)
- Occasionally we will have a project which cannot move; wetting your fingertip and touching the stabilizer lightly, and then laying down the tulle and allowing it to dry will tack the net down. Be VERY careful, though; too much water will dissolve your stabilizer.
- Use tissue paper to protect your tulle or other fabric when hooping.
> *Tip: Lay a piece of tissue over the netting and hoop, then cut away a window for your embroidery to help prevent marks and scuffs.*

## Conclusion: Don’t Be Afraid To Embroider Sheer Fabrics
Lots of information here, right? The only way you can find out if this delicate embroidery process is for you is to try it out. We suggest starting with used bridal veils, smaller pieces of sheer fabrics, or thrift store materials (make sure they’re newer as poorly preserved netting will not be easy to work on) until you feel comfortable to venture out onto important garments.
Here are a few things to remember:
- Know your fabric fiber content, and get to know each fabric.
- Be gentle! These are delicate fabrics, and they need a light hand.
- Work slowly. Slow your machine down. It’s better to stitch longer and have a usable piece.
- Be mindful of the embroidery design you choose. Use lighter, less stitch-intensive designs; for longer lines, use a running stitch.
There is much more to learn when using these gentle fabrics, but this will get you started in the right direction! Happy stitching!

### [How To Easily Machine Embroider Ribbon With Great Results](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-embroider-on-ribbon-tutorial/)
**Published:** August 11, 2025
**Author:** Embroidery Legacy
**Content:**
What do this article, a birthday present, and a Christmas gift all have in common? They’re all wrapped up with a bow! Embroidering on ribbon is often overlooked, but it is fun and can be used for more than just gift wrapping!
Many embroiderers, new and experienced, shy away from using ribbon. It produces a great result, but *how* do you do it? With care, you can create beautiful and creative gifts!
Let’s further discuss embroidering on ribbon. Throughout this article, we’ll discuss the two most popular types of ribbon and their pros and cons with embroidery. We’ll discuss some tips and tricks on how to embroider on ribbon, problems that can occur and how to avoid them, and we’ll also give you some cute embroidery ideas you must try!
## Machine Embroidery On Ribbon
Machine embroidery on ribbon has been around in the commercial industry for a long time but is now becoming quite popular with crafters, designers, and embroiderers.
Ideally, it would be best if you used the best quality ribbon you can find, but until you become more skilled at working with ribbons, less expensive craft store ribbons will work and be great practice.
- ***The Grosgrain ribbon*** is sturdy and does not show as many marks. It is a great place to start. It’s been around since the 1500s, it has been a woven ribbon with warp and weft threads of different sizes, producing the “lines” across the ribbon.
- ***Satin Ribbon*** is soft and slippery. It is more difficult to embroider and requires more careful preparation. It can show marks from hooping or (if you like to use it) tack down stitches. (In this blog, we are just talking about floating with adhesive, but you may choose to tack down your ribbon.)
- ***Acetate ribbon*** is an extremely cheap crunchy version of satin ribbon. It is pretty stiff and can be used for crafts or gift baskets, but it is not soft to wear.
Is it possible to machine embroider on ribbon? Absolutely! However, it does require more preparation and careful measuring. But once you practice and find a method that works, you’ll be up and stitching quickly. The two main considerations in ribbon embroidery are:
- **Slippery, slithery fabric**. Satin ribbon is beautiful but slick and will move around as it is being embroidered. You will need to focus on how to hold down the ribbon while stitching out.
- **Stitching straight lines**. This might be the hardest part of your stitching process, but we have some ideas for you! You must line up your ribbon so your name or design stitches out correctly.
## How Do I Machine Embroider On Ribbon?
Because the ribbon movement is so challenging, we’ll start there. You can float or hoop ribbon, and there are advantages to both.

### Hooping Ribbon For Machine Embroidery
Many people opt to hoop their project for longer stretches of embroidery, so it is anchored down. When hooping, you need to secure the ribbon to the stabilizer first and then hoop the stabilizer/ribbon in the hoop, measuring the distance from the sides so that it is completely straight in the hoop. Anything less will create crooked lines.
Hooping this way is easy; you stick your ribbon down by lightly spraying the stabilizer with temporary adhesive spray and placing the ribbon down on that stabilizer.

The whole thing is then hooped using the edge of the hoop as a guideline. You can draw a straight guideline or use a straight edge to ensure it is not wavy.
> *This method is best done in a square or rectangular hoop as you need the edge of the hoop as a guideline.*
>

#### How To Hoop Ribbon For Machine Embroidery
This method is suitable for longer, wider strips of ribbon. Here are the materials you will need:
1. Square or rectangular embroidery hoop
2. Tear Away stabilizer (medium weight)
3. Ruler
4. Marking pencil
5. Temporary adhesive spray
To embroider your ribbon, you will need to center the ribbon in your hoop.
Follow these steps:
1. Lay your stabilizer on your workspace and draw a single line using the ruler from right to left.
2. Measure your ribbon (for this example, we will use a 1.5-inch ribbon).
3. Divide the measure of the width of your ribbon in half (it should be ¾ inch on each side of your center line.
4. Using the ruler, mark a guideline for each side of your ribbon.
5. To create the line for the edge of the hoop, use your centerline, mark 2 points that are ½ the height of the hoop, and draw a line to use for aligning the hoop.
6. Lightly spray your stabilizer down the center line.
7. Carefully lay down your ribbon between the two guidelines you drew.
8. Carefully hoop your ribbon/stabilizer in the hoop using your guidelines. Your ribbon should run down the center of your hoop.
> *You can also use your [**embroidery software**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-software/digitizing/) to create these lines by hooping a piece of stabilizer and stitching the guidelines- un-hoop, tack down your ribbon, and re-hoop using the top guideline to ensure the hoop is aligned correctly. Always make sure to center the needle in your ribbon for best results.*

9\. EMBROIDER!
### Floating Ribbon For Machine Embroidery
Many people find floating easier, and a little preparation will produce a great result! It would be best if you used a tear-away stabilizer (sticky backed or regular), some temporary adhesive spray, and either a ruler or digitize a guideline in your embroidery software.
#### How To Float Ribbon For Machine Embroidery
Floating ribbon is generally an easier method of embroidering for most people. It is not as secure as hooping, so you will not want to try long lines of lettering, but it can be done. This method also requires measurement and preparation, and, like the hooping method above, the more care you take, the better the result.
Follow these steps to embroider on ribbon:
1. Hoop a piece of medium tear-away stabilizer in a hoop.
2. Stitch guidelines.
3. Remove the hoop from the machine and lightly spray between guidelines stitched onto the stabilizer.
4. Lay the ribbon between your guidelines and return the hoop to the machine.
5. Stitch your ribbon!
Some people like to use sticky-backed stabilizers, but there are pros and cons. To use a sticky back, hoop the stabilizer, and then use a pin or needle to score the paper inside the area you want to expose and peel back the paper. You can then stick down your ribbon in the exposed area and stitch. A sticky back can have some residue remaining.
If you are working with a ribbon that will not be on clothing or as a hair accessory, you can iron on a stabilizer and embroider. There are many, many different options for strengthening the ribbon.

## Problems You Can Encounter When Embroidering Ribbon
*Unfortunately*, life is not always perfect, and you could encounter problems with ribbon embroidery until you learn what works best for you and your materials. Here are some examples of things you might see:
- **Wavy Edges** are caused by the needle catching the weft threads (horizontal). Avoid wavy edges by using a new needle and not stitching too fast. The greater the tension, the greater the pull. Much of this can be removed by a good steam iron (from the back), pulling it firmly while ironing.
- **Pulled Stitches** can also be caused by a dull needle and too much speed. You will also want to make sure that you aren’t trying to embroider too large a letter or object; otherwise, you will need an additional stabilizer. Unfortunately, with satin ribbon, this will happen- good ironing with steam from the back will also help to lessen the look.
- **Curling ribbon** often occurs with satin ribbon and is most often caused by insufficient adhesive. Without an adequate stabilizer and not being secure, the ribbon contracts where the stitching is and leaves a curly edge. If you have a longer line of stitching, switch to hooping.
## Machine Embroidered Ribbon Projects
When ribbon comes to mind, you may just think of wrapping up a gift, but so many possibilities come to mind for us!
Let’s explore some creative options:
- **Bows and Hair bows**: embroider the ends of Grosgrain or satin ribbon to make a cute hair bow; perfect for pep squads, kids, pups, and more! Embroider the ends of the ribbon and tie it over a ponytail or create a looped wired ribbon with creative ends.
- **Bag handles:** embroidering a Grosgrain ribbon with a name or object is an easy way to personalize a tote bag!
- **Keychains**
- **Create your own ribbon**: did you know you can create your OWN ribbon? Pick a fabric you like, embroider satin or motif edge in straight lines and then embroider on a name or image. Make sure to use sturdy WOVEN fabric as knits will move too much.

- **Embroidered beaded edge:** you can create a wonderful effect by embroidering an edge where the ribbon will be cut and then carefully cutting close to the stitching. If you feel brave, use a lighter or stencil cutting iron to sear the extra fabric sticking out
- **Ribbon treat bag:** these make great goodie bags that you can decorate seasonally to fill with your favorite snacks or to keep your change in.
## Conclusion: Embroidering Ribbon Doesn’t Have To Be Hard
So much information! We know you are going to take this and run with it! Embroidering on ribbon is a skill, and you will need to start small on inexpensive materials first and then try your hand at one of the projects above!
This should get you going for now, but let’s review some key points for you to remember:
1. **Measure carefully!**
2. **Adhere well**
3. **Take your time**
These basic guidelines will help you have straight embroidered names and soft, supple stitch outs. You may be frustrated when you begin to do ribbon embroidery, but time and practice will get you where you need to be.

### [Step-by-Step: Machine Embroidery on Paper for Best Results](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-embroider-on-paper-tutorial/)
**Published:** August 11, 2025

**Content:**
Christmas, birthdays, well wishes, … what do these special occasions all have in common? They generally start with receiving a card! Have you ever wanted to transform a simple piece of paper into a masterpiece with meaning? Making your own unique embroidery card can create cherished memories and a heartfelt message.
Did you know it is easy to embroider on paper? Discover unique ways to use paper and embroidery. Let’s discuss helpful tips for achieving the ideal outcome to make your own custom embroidered card and projects.
## What is the best embroidery design paper?
Let’s look at the difference between two paper types (poster board and watercolor paper) with the same design.
Poster Board is highly processed cardstock with more wood fiber than rag or linen, so it tears more cleanly and evenly. When you stitch closely and continually perforate the cardstock, it will more easily tear on the perforated line.

Watercolor paper has a high rag content and is less likely to tear.

## Should I hoop or float paper with embroidery?
This is *one* occasion in which you *always* float. Hooping paper would crease and bend it, so floating is your best option!
You should hoop your stabilizer, lay down your heavy paper, and stitch for best results. You will then trim it and cover the backside with decorative paper to hide the stitches and tails.
## What stabilizer should I use when embroidering paper?
For stabilizer, we recommend medium-weight cutaway.
Most cutaway is polyester, consisting of fine fibers that mimic fabric. Tearing is not easy and is not as affected by the needle perforation.
The no-show mesh works well for light paper (and bathroom tissue).
Tearaway stabilizer is *meant* to tear, so it will not provide the support you need for more dense designs.
We never recommend using a wash away stabilizer because removing it with water ruins the paper.
An option for less stable papers is a lightweight fusible stabilizer! Use a dry iron on medium heat and tack it down. Continue to stitch as usual.
## Machine embroidery designs for cards
What types of designs work for paper embroidery?
Look for designs with fewer stitches to avoid poking holes in the paper multiple times. Choose linen paper over recycled wood fiber paper for a fabric-like surface.

Here are the *basic guidelines* for paper embroidery:
- Less is **MORE**! Choose lighter designs with fewer needle points.
- Lighter designs would include more running stitches and more open spaces. You can use tatami and satin, which we will discuss below.
- When choosing a design, edit it to remove the underlay.
- Underlay is important, but removing it is critical because you don’t wear or wash it, and we want fewer stitches.
- Change the density to lessen needle points. Here are the recommendations for two types of stitches.
- Tatami stitch: remove underlay and change the density to 1.0-1.2 mm space (Hint hint… same settings as using mylar!) Depending on the paper, you can increase the density for a full color.

> [Tweet](/)
- Satin stitch: usually, your satin stitches will be in the form of lettering. Using less density will get the best result and not ruin your paper. More dense can create too many needle points.
The image below is what your satin stitch will look like. Depending on the type of paper you use, you may adjust, but a good guideline is a 0.50 mm spacing between stitches.
We have removed the underlay here, but it does not affect the finished product.
The thread is entirely up to you. We used 40-weight poly neon thread and white bobbin thread for these examples. Matching your bobbin thread to your paper is important, but white is usually the best choice.
## How to finish the back of your embroidered card
You can finish the back of your stitching to hide the bobbin thread and tie-offs. You can use so many different materials, including:
- Gift wrap
- Mylar
- Brown or kraft paper
- Card stock
- Fusible stabilizer covered by the above coverings.
## Machine embroidery cards on paper or cardstock tutorial
This tutorial will help you create cards, tags, postcards, and even paper dolls! While the results are different, the basic method is the same.
### Materials needed
Here is the list of supplies you’ll need:
- Your choice of paper: watercolor paper, piece of cardstock, handmade paper, or pre-made cards
- Medium-weight (2.5 ounces) cutaway stabilizer
- Temporary spray adhesive
- Colored paper or gift wrap to cover the back of your work
- Ruler
- Pencil
- Optional: glue stick, colored pencils, crayons, ink sticks, permanent markers
We urge you to experiment, and don’t get discouraged! Embroidery on paper is a lot of trial and error, but we know you will master this.
As we said above, start with watercolor paper. You do not need to purchase the most expensive kind; start inexpensive and learn.
Most watercolor paper has two different sides. One is textured, and one is smooth. You can embroider on either, and each has its merits!
> *A note about temporary spray: use spray sparingly! Though it is temporary, there may still be residue which can trap fibers or fuzzies.*
>
> *You will use spray only to tack down the paper, but you can also use painter’s tape. Learn more about how to [**master embroidery adhesives**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-use-machine-embroidery-adhesive-sprays/).*

### Step-by-step how to make embroidery cards
Since our card will be 5×7 inches, we will use the *12×8* inch watercolor paper. We are leaving additional length on the edges to trim later after we have applied the backing. If using pre-made cards, make sure to measure carefully.
Here are the steps for creating a gift card:
1. Digitize your object; remember, we recommend removing the underlay and lessening the density.
2. Digitize a guideline for the fold of your card. Ideally, this is 1 inch longer on both sides so you can see how to line up your card.
3\. Hoop a piece of medium-weight tear-away stabilizer in a hoop large enough for your card *when it is folded.*
4\. Stitch out your guideline on the hooped stabilizer *without* the card and remove your hoop from the machine.
> If you have a big hoop for two cards, put them with the “open” sides facing each other. This will prevent damage to the other half of the card.
>

> [Tweet](/)
5\. Place half of your folded card along the guidelines and secure it with non-stick tape. Do not use sprays or adhesives as it will leave residue on your card
> *Remember that your card needs to be laid down front side up to stitch the design correctly. It is helpful to take a pencil and place a very light arrow on the front of the card pointing up for reference.*

6\. If you’re using a handmade card, create a fold by laying the card on a soft surface (we used leather) and run the back of a pair of scissors along a ruler after measuring (don’t press too hard or you’ll break the paper).

7\. Monitoring your machine while embroidering the design is crucial, and please **slow down your machine.** Do not be alarmed if you see some loopy stitches with your stitched design; it is not uncommon when working on paper. Also, watch for **flagging,** which is the bouncing of the frame and hoop (caused by the flaps of the card sticking up).
8\. After your design is finished, please resist the urge to pull or tug on the card while removing it from the hoop! Use a pair of craft scissors and trim the stabilizer about ¼ inch from the edge of the stitching.
9\. Stick a colorful or shiny backing onto your card design, like gift wrap or mylar. Even kraft paper can be cool! You can use spray or a glue stick, but you may find that the glue stick is easier to control.
10\. After you have glued on your backing, let it dry, or if your card wasn’t pre-made, trim it. Voila! You’ve created your own embroidered card.
Here are a few things to remember when lining your card:
- When you spray, fold the card backward to ensure you do not spray the “message surface.” You can also tape a piece of paper over that surface.
- Use a thin paper, mylar, or fabric to close your card.
- Using an adhesive spray or stick will allow you to correct any wrinkles.

### [How To Fix Embroidery Mistakes | Complete Guide](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-fix-embroidery-mistakes/)
**Published:** August 11, 2025
**Author:** Embroidery Legacy
**Content:**
Oh my gosh! You threaded the wrong color. The hoop moved. The machine stopped. You can’t start over…. We have all had these “oops” happen. Instead of living in dread, there is hope, my friends! Fear not, as we will discuss some solutions to common embroidery mistakes below! While we can’t fix everything, you will find some solutions for making up for life’s minor accidents.
In this blog, we will look at embroidery mistakes and some ways to solve them, the tools you should keep on hand, and how to approach correcting problems. We touch upon stains and dirt and how to remove or lessen their effects, and we also share some tips to avoid mistakes from happening in the first place.
## How To Remove Stitching In Embroidery Mistakes
Let us start by talking about why you would want to take the time to remove stitching.
Why should I try to remove the stitching?
Stitching the wrong name, wrong size, or the wrong color on an expensive item like a shirt or backpack is frustrating and very expensive! Having to replace items costs you money if you can find them; working on heirlooms and one-of-a-kind items is even more frightening!
Likewise- you might have a garment you want to hand down from one person or another or have found a garment you love at a store that has embroidery or monogram you wish to remove. Whatever the case, when you decide to remove embroidery, you have to go in fully armed with information about what needs to be done.
Sometimes you can’t remove the stitching, and the garment becomes a tester or, better yet, stitched material upon which you can practice.
### When Can You Remove Embroidery?
**Let’s start with the good news…**
- Stitching on Woven fabrics (the heavier, the better).
- Less dense stitching. The less dense the stitching, the fewer stitches you take out. Also, the fewer previous needle penetrations leave a mark.
- Satin stitch. If you have to make a mistake, a satin stitch will be your friend. Satin stitch has back and forth threads anchored down on the backside of the stitching and are the easiest to remove.
- Longer stitch tatami. Tatami stitch is a dense fill with short off-set stitches which mimic the tatami floor mats found in Japan. Due to the density and the pattern of the stitch, you need to remove this differently, but it is possible!
### When Can You Not Remove Embroidery?
**Okay, now for the bad news…**
Often there are situations in which you can’t remove embroidery, or if you remove it, there is an irreparable mark left on the garment.
- Ultra-dense designs. If you have an ultra-dense design with too many stitch points, it may have irreparably damaged the garment, and it will leave you with a hole. Now, of course, you can apply interfacing and restitch, but the garment structure may not allow for that
- Slinky sheer or loose weave fabric. Gauze, silk, lightweight knits, and the new microfibre and performance knit only begrudgingly give up stitches and depending on the garment, it may be more cost-effective to start anew. These fabrics can only tolerate having stitching put in, much less taken away, and attempting this might leave holes or tears.
- Leather and vinyl. Unless you plan to re-embroider with a larger design, leather and vinyl will have holes that can’t be fixed, and in some cases, vinyl and other artificial “pleather” can tear apart as the needle points are like a perforated edge.
## Tools Needed To Fix Embroidery Mistakes
So what do we need?
- Patience!
- Clipper style stitch eraser (many people also use mustache trimmers, eyebrow shapers, etc.)

- Good [embroidery scissors](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-scissors/)
- Tweezers
- Patience
- Lint roller to remove fuzzies and threads
- Seam ripper
- Razor or surgical blade (If you are careful and gentle)
- Did I mention patience….
Hopefully, you will not have to become an expert on removing stitches, but to do the best job, you need to understand how the stitches are formed and where to cut for best success. First, here are some things to keep in mind…
ALWAYS *always* ***always*** start from the back. Why? Because there is a wonderful protective layer of interfacing between you and the garment. This acts as a barrier you can work against without fear of damaging the garment.
> *If you have not read our **[Complete Guide To Machine Embroidery Stabilizers](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-use-machine-embroidery-stabilizer/)**, it is a must! You will learn what stabilizer is, why it’s so important, and what type should be used when. [**Click here**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-use-machine-embroidery-stabilizer/) to read more.*

Patience is perhaps your most valuable tool. It takes time to remove machine embroidery, and you will need to weigh the time it takes against the value of the garment. If it is “ruined” already, you may want to use it for practice stitch removal. You will be tempted to use a razor or scalpel but please, resist that! You will have better success with patience, a seam ripper, and tweezers.
## Removing Embroidery Stitches
Let’s talk stitches.
The goal in stitch removal is to take out the bobbin thread. Commercial embroiderers primarily use black and white bobbin threads, making it fairly easy to see where to clip, but many working with smaller machines can wind their own bobbin with matching threads. Though the stitches may be different, the method is similar. Here are the three most common stitches you will see:
1. Satin stitches
2. Tatami stitches
3. Straight stitches
### How To Remove Satin Stitches
Large satin stitch objects and letters applied to heavier woven fabrics are by far the easiest to remove. The satin stitch is made by a long back and forth of the top thread on the top of the stitching and a bobbin lock stitch below.
If you have ever done an “H” test to check for bobbin tension, you will recall that looking at **the back** of the stitching reveals columns of top thread and bobbin thread. Cutting the bobbin stitch below will allow you to pick out the released stitches above. From the BACK side, the stitches should look something like this.
If you have a stitch eraser (several different banded erasers like a barber’s clipper), follow the manufacturer’s directions, and gently work the eraser back and forth over the backside until you see the stitches being clipped. When it’s properly done it will look like fuzz. Periodically stop and check the top to see how much success you have had and return to the back to clip more as needed.
Remember that you will not remove all the stitches from your garment on your first pass, but you can remove most and then return with tweezers or embroidery scissors to finish the job. Please remember that any of these methods can cut your fabric if you are too aggressive.
If you only have small embroidery scissors or a seam ripper, you can accomplish the same results but work a few threads at a time. Try not to slide the scissors or ripper along in one big push as you can poke through your garment.
### How To Remove Tatami Stitches
Okay, tatami is a bit different, but it is possible to remove with patience. Tatami is made with a brick-like stitch. Even though the stitches are off-set, you will find the same type of top and bobbin threads but tipped at an angle.
A stitch eraser works very well on tatami and other patterned stitches but work slowly and carefully from the back. Since the tatami stitches are usually smaller, you may have to remove stitches and then remove the fuzz with a link roller to see your progress. Tweezers will help pull bobbin threads and tease apart wads of thread.
### How To Remove Straight Stitches
If you are lucky enough to have caught your mistake and just have lines of basting or straight stitch, you can use fine scissors or tweezers to periodically clip the bobbin thread (on the backside) and pull it out. That will give you a satisfying reward of simply pulling the top thread and watching it pop out!
Got frustrated and pulled on threads? Tore the material or made a knot? Have stitch marks that won’t come out?
When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. Sometimes things just do not work out, and you need to be creative. Here are some ideas to help you salvage your garment.
- Carefully apply iron-on backing to a hole in a garment. If the hole is large, you can patch it with similar material and then embroider it with a different or larger design.
- Applique a piece of material onto the garment- it requires you to change your design but can save the day.
- Have a large hole? Make a larger one and embroider a cutwork design. Sometimes these oops are happy accidents! Interested in quality cutwork designs to help conceal those areas you need to cover?

## Tips For Stain Removal In Embroidery
Stains happen! Everything went well; you look down and… an oil spot! Or you stabbed yourself and have a blood spot (ouch!). Now you are in stain removal territory. Please remember to test any methods on an out-of-the-way area on your garment since different fabrics and dye methods can be disturbed by stain removal.
Different types of stains
- **Oil**: the most common. The goal here is to absorb the oil. **Do not rub!** You will spread it. Baby powder, baking soda, talcum powder, chalk, cornstarch, or waterless mechanic’s soap can be sprinkled over the oil and let sit for 30 minutes to absorb as much oil as possible. Then, use a spoon to scrape the oil and powder off the garment.
- **Dirt**: depending on what kind, damping a cloth and blotting (not rubbing) will be your best option.
- **Blood**: is made up of proteins, so anything which breaks it down will help. Surprisingly nature gave you the best solution- saliva! The enzymes in your saliva break down protein, and if you don’t mind licking your fabric, that is an excellent first option. Remember, if you wet the fabric, never use hot water because it will set the proteins or bleach. You can also use hydrogen peroxide, but it is pretty harsh and can bleach out the color. Pre-soaking the fabric with a laundry pre-treater and then washing in cold water helps.
- **Stabilizer**: if it is water-soluble, a good soak in cold water will help. If it is iron-on, do not try to iron it further! If you want to soften the adhesive, hold the iron *above* the fabric for a few seconds and gently peel off the stabilizer. To further remove the adhesive, apply a damp piece of fabric over the adhesive, press, and immediately remove. Repeat this as many times as needed. Make sure to use a new piece of fabric every time.
- **Pen marks**: if it is a ballpoint pen, use hairspray- this “oldie but goodie” works well.
- **Scorch marks**: the key here is to work quickly! The sooner you remove the stain, the more fully it will come out. Primarily in linen and cotton, scorch marks will come out with lemon juice or hydrogen peroxide, but these must not be left on for long, and peroxide can bleach out colors. The least invasive way is to soak the item in ice water for 24 hours.
## How To Avoid Embroidery Problems
Wouldn’t it be easier not to make a mistake? Sure! Here are some tips to help you avoid most of the problems above and develop your embroidery skills.
- **Stitch-outs.** Practice, practice practice. If you can save $50 by garment by testing on a 50 cent scrap of cloth, why not? Please make sure that your test material is similar to your finished garment. You can save old or “oops” garments for testers.
- **Good quality embroidery designs** are one of the best ways of ensuring success! Always purchase designs from a reputable digitizer who offers embroidery designs tested and checked for problems.

## Conclusion: Take Mistakes As Learning Opportunities
As with anything, the more you know, the fewer mistakes you will make. The same goes for embroidery. Although mistakes do happen, and believe me, they happen to everyone, they do come to be a great learning lesson. The more educated you are, the less likely you will make those mistakes again.
As you’ve read, fixing embroidery mistakes can be easily done. You can remove stitches based on the stitch type used, fix embroidery mistakes by using scissors or other embroidery tools, or if you’ve stained your garment or embroidery, there are stain removal techniques based on the supplies you’ve used.
We also offered several tips to avoid having to encounter embroidery problems. These include working slowly. If you’re removing stitching, understand what stitch type is used to remove them best. Test your design before you hoop an expensive garment, work cleanly and have an organized workspace, and lastly, use quality designs from a reputable digitizer!

### [How to Get Flawless Embroidery By Stopping Puckering](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-puckering-prevention-in-machine-embroidery/)
**Published:** August 11, 2025
**Author:** Embroidery Legacy
**Content:**
When I embroider, I really don’t want my project to have puckering, so I’m willing to do anything to prevent it. When I first started embroidering, it was a huge issue for me. After many mistakes, I’ve learned ways to avoid it when I’m embroidering a design.
## What Is Embroidery Puckering?
OK, so maybe you are new to embroidery, and you’re thinking, “What is this puckering she speaks of?” It is when a bunching of the fabric around the stitched area of your embroidery design. When you have puckering, the material no longer lies flat; you see folds in the fabric.
A great example is this windbreaker with my daughter’s monogram. (Fortunately, I don’t have to take credit for this terrible monogramming job.) But I shouldn’t criticize too much here because windbreakers tend to pucker.
Do you see the fabric not lying flat around the stitched letters? This, my friends, is classic puckering and exactly what we want to avoid.
## Why Does Machine Embroidery Puckering Occur?
Puckering happens when your fabric moves around during the embroidery process.
There are three types…
### The Bunching Pucker
This occurs when you “trap” fabric and stabilizer within an area. If you embroider from the outside of the design to the inside, the needle foot will cause the fabric to move forward. This makes the fabric get trapped until it has nowhere to go, causing you to experience puckering in the middle of the design.
Imagine working on a construction site. The person opposite you pushes dirt towards you, causing a pile to form.
### The Stretching Pucker
This occurs when you pull the fabric super tight when hooping. The stabilizer holds the fabric in place and looks great, but it snaps back when you remove it from the hoop. All that stretched fabric relaxes and locks the center flat, resulting in distorted fabric.
### The Density Pucker
Tightening an area of stitching causes this because of a really dense design. This one will have puckers in between two sides of stitching. The fill contracts the fabric and stabilizer. Lessening the density will greatly help.
**So why does puckered embroidery generally happen?**
If the fabric moves while your machine stitches, it will bunch up instead of lying flat. Therefore, keeping your fabric in place while stitching out an embroidery design is the secret to avoiding puckering.
But for some fabrics, this is easier said than done…
**How to become a pucker detective!**
While puckering is frustrating, learning to be a pucker detective is still important! When you look at the puckers, they vary, which can help you learn how to solve them.
## Which Fabrics Are Most Likely To Pucker?
Slippery fabrics like nylon and satin are prone to puckering because they can slide around on the stabilizer. The monogrammed windbreaker is a great example of a slippery fabric that is challenging to embroider without any puckering.
Knit fabrics like t-shirts and polos can also be problematic because they stretch. It may pucker if you stretch the fabric excessively or do not adequately support it on the hoop during embroidery. You will see fabric puckers when you remove your garment from the hoop.
Another tricky category of fabrics that can easily pucker is very lightweight textile-like broadcloth or linen. Because they are flimsy and thin, they can bunch up while embroidering, which leads to puckering.
The solutions vary for these fabrics to prevent puckering as they are very different, but let’s discuss them now!
### How To Keep Machine Embroidery From Puckering On Slippery Fabrics
Your strategy in preventing puckering with satins and nylons is to stop the fabric from slipping in these tightly woven fabrics. Running a basting stitch to prevent the design from moving may seem tempting, but it’s likely not a good idea. After you remove the basting stitching, you will likely still see holes in your piece of fabric. Pinning the nylon windbreaker on a floated stabilizer in the hoop is probably not a good idea for the same reason.
One of the best ways to prevent slippage is to hoop and not float the fabric. We recommend hooping when embroidering two layers of fabric to prevent the top layer from shifting. This is especially important when working with a windbreaker, which typically consists of a lining and a top layer. Hooping your garment will hold the layers in place and ensure a better-stitched result.

To keep both layers from moving, use a cutaway stabilizer on the back while hooping them.
Stitching with a new, sharp needle can also improve your pucker-free odds. An old, dull needle can snag and bunch up the fabric, making it pucker. In addition, using a water-soluble topper can also help.
If you try embroidering on a slippery, satin ribbon, you will face additional puckering challenges. The thinness of the ribbon prevents it from being hooped properly. You can attach it to a stabilizer and tape it down to keep it in place.

### How To Stop Embroidery Puckering On Knit Fabrics
Hooping helps prevent puckering on slippery fabrics, but it may not be the best choice for embroidering on knits. If you hoop a knit fabric too tightly, you can stretch it while stitching. Then, when you take it off the hoop, the fabric relaxes and bunches up around the stitching.

Instead, place a piece of fusible poly mesh on the wrong side of the fabric (underneath the design). Then, hoop some tear-away stabilizer and float the knit fabric on top of it. Stick the knit fabric to the tear-away material using a spray adhesive or self-adhesive tear-away stabilizer.
You can pin the knit fabric to the stabilizer around the design area. Knits are forgiving and won’t show pin holes. Finally, float a piece of water-soluble topper over the design area.
You can improve your overall results with a couple of additional precautions. Fusible poly mesh can shrink, so it’s a good idea to wash and dry it before use. You should also embroider knits using a stretch needle. Regular needles break the fabric fibers, and needles designed for stretch fabrics push them out of the way.
### How To Avoid Embroidery Puckering On Light Natural Fabrics
Embroidering on hankies and light materials is challenging because of their delicate nature. The stitching can bunch them up and cause puckering.
So, the secret to preventing puckering with the lightweight fabric is temporarily giving it some heft. You can do this in a couple of different ways.
Spraying it with heavy starch is a good way to start. Then, use at least one layer of tear-away stabilizer, although most people recommend two. Adhere the layers of stabilizer to the cloth using temporary adhesive and hoop it all together.
Light cotton broadcloths behave like knits in that they can stretch a bit. Avoid over-stretching them in the hoop. Unlike knits, though, they are best embroidered with a smaller and very sharp embroidery needle and not a stretch needle.
## Which Embroidery Designs Are Most Likely To Pucker?
Did you know your [**embroidery machine speed**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-set-embroidery-machine-speed/) can affect your embroidery results?
> A note from John:
>
> *“From my experience, poorly digitized embroidery designs are one of the top reasons why puckering occurs.*
>
> *After all, the quality of any embroidery design depends on how well it was digitized or created. If the digitizer didn’t know what they were doing, or if a design was simply auto-digitized using embroidery software, chances are you might run into some issues (puckering of course being one of them).*
>
> *If the correct type of underlay wasn’t used by the digitizer when creating the design, no solid foundation is stitched into the area in which the design will be sewn. This can cause registration issues and make the design pucker.*

## How To Fix Puckered Embroidery
Fortunately, there are a couple of ways to rescue a project if you notice puckering is happening. Stop the machine and stick a layer of tear-away stabilizer underneath your hooped fabric, then resume stitching.
This extra layer of stabilizer may be the solution to fixing the puckering while it’s happening. Good ironing can sometimes minimize puckering after completing a project.
Puckering is a pain we all deal with, so be sure to take precautions and use professionally digitized embroidery designs.
I hope these suggestions have been helpful.
Happy stitching,
Julie

### [How Machine Speed Affects Your Embroidery Results](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-set-embroidery-machine-speed/)
**Published:** August 11, 2025
**Author:** Embroidery Legacy
**Content:**
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZOOOOOOOOMMMMM sounds fast, doesn’t it? Not safe for interstate, and certainly not for a school zone! By the way…. Not good for embroidery either! Today we are going to jump into speed and what it means for embroidery!
Just because your car can drive 220 mph doesn’t mean it should. The same goes for your embroidery machine.
We recently had someone send us a picture of a piece she was working on that was just not great. It was scrunched and puckered. She was at her wit’s end until we asked her how fast she was stitching. She was not sure and had not explored adjusting her machine speed.
Subsequent stitching at a significantly reduced speed produced a stunning result, and she gratefully resent her results. In this case, speed was the culprit. Though speed is not always the problem, it is important to discuss how to look to your “gas pedal” for solutions.
A majority of home embroidery machine manufacturers produce machines capable of adjusting speed, and all commercial machines can slow down and speed up with recommended operating speeds. These adjustments are put in place so that it is possible to account for fabric type, thread content, placement, and other factors.
In this article, we’ll discuss:
- How fast embroidery machines can go
- How fast should embroidery machines go
- How speed affects your project and the machine
- Other options for keeping up the pace and saving materials
## Why Is Machine Speed Important?
So let’s get right to it! Why do we care about speed? Aside from the best part of ourselves, which wants to see our beautiful creation “right now,” most people don’t want to spend a lot of time waiting. Commercial embroiderers care about the time it takes because time is money, and the faster you get that cap off the machine and another one loaded, the more money you make.
### Embroidery Production Time
Production time is the time it takes for each piece to be hooped, placed in the machine, and embroidered, and then removed and trimmed or finished. The amount of time varies on the number of stitches and how the design was digitized.
To figure out production time, simply take the number of stitches divided by the speed at which you are stitching. Remember, the “speed” is just an average; machines don’t just jump into stitching at light speed. They ease up to the selected number.
> NUMBER OF STITCHES ÷ SPEED OF MACHINE = STITCHING TIME IN MIN
> EX: 12500 STITCHES ÷ 650 SPM = 19.2 MINUTES
> Keep in mind that things like color changes on single needle machines, needle or thread breaks etc. can lengthen the time.

## Factors That Lessen Production Time
### Poorly Digitized Embroidery Designs
Good digitizing has a significant effect on production time, and using well-thought-out designs makes a big difference. A thoughtfully digitized design has been created with the least amount of stitches, trims, color changes, and more. Skillfully digitized designs will save you more money than the cost of purchasing the file if you will be duplicating it or using it often.
To get the best results, use good quality designs that are digitized for production or invest in learning digitizing to understand how designs stitch out and can recognize problems before they cost you time and money.

### Thread Breaks
We all hate thread breaks! The machine is going along, all is well until….snap! Most home machines have a thread break detection function. It operates like a “deadman switch” on a train engine. If the Engineer was overtaken by a hijacker, ill, or lost his footing and his foot left the switch, the train comes to a screeching halt. All newer commercial machines have this feature, and older commercial machines vary since they assume there is a tender standing by.
So many factors can cause thread breaks but we’ll stick with the main ones. Thread quality is very important. Cheap inconsistent thread tends to break as well as old or out-of-date thread. Yes, thread does have a shelf life, so pass up any offers of “old” thread since it will cost you more in the long run. Also, remember that thread does not like super dry and hot or damp and dark; if you would not live there, do not store your thread there.
Another factor is thread content. Polyester thread is the most consistent and durable thread, so it has less of a tendency to break. On the other hand, Rayon thread is a synthetic fiber made from wood cellulose, and though it looks beautiful, it can be difficult.

Perhaps the leading cause of thread breaks concerning speed is that the thread cannot withstand the stress and strain caused by the speed.
One more note on thread breaks, keeping your machine tension discs clean and free of lint is beneficial. Many operators use a few drops of silicone lubricant on a cone of thread to periodically lubricate the discs and make the thread glide more easily (and we do mean a drop or two!)
### Nesting
Nesting is a wad of thread bunched up under your embroidery on the bobbin side and can occur in many ways, but the main culprits are:
- Incorrect threading of the upper thread
- Tight bobbin tension and loose top tension combined
- Small bits of thread or dust
- Bouncing of the hoop (called Flagging)
- Speed too fast for material

### Push and Pull & Their Relation To Speed
Push and Pull compensation is where a tiny bit is added to the overall size of an object to be stitched. Usually, these objects are long stitches or large tatami fills that begin to pull the object out of shape when stitched out. The added size of the object compensates for the shrink of a lot of stitches facing the same way, but it does not make the machine “stitch looser.”

When you rush the machine, the problem is that pull and push become even worse due to the added energy put into the stitching. If you walk back and forth between two rows of trees and carry a rope, the tension is pretty even, and the rope lays down.
If you *race* through it as you round each tree, it is pulled tight while you race to the next. As you stitch sections, they contract and distort areas of the fabric, and when you move to a new section, you are working at a disadvantage because your new work surface is already distorted.
### Missing Stitches
Have you ever been stitching and look down to find skipped or missing stitches? Speed could have played a part. By running too fast in certain applications, you skip stitches because you are not giving the machine enough time to recover and move to the next stitch.
High speed also causes the needle to deflect and miss the hook. Commercial machines are designed to operate within these conditions.
### Fine and Light Fabrics
Unless you are trying to smock your lightweight fabrics, speed will cause a lot of puckers. Please be gentle with the silks, nylons, tulles, and other fabrics. A slower machine will put less energy into the stitching and allow the fabric to lay more naturally with fewer puckers.
## Recommended Machine Speed For Your Embroidery Project
**So we have discussed so many speed factors, but just *what*** **is the best speed for your project? As with everything in life, it depends. A safe bet for standard fabrics in typical situations would be around 600-700 spm.** A slower speed will give you a neater result, and unless you have to run 1000 hats, why not slow down and have it stitch out well the first time!
Lighter fabrics like lace (or making [**free-standing lace**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-tutorial-free-standing-lace/)) or netting, silks, and light nylon slow it down as much as possible. The energy and force put into the thread is simply too much and wads up the fabric. Leather and vinyl are similar; take care with those fabrics since you cannot re-stitch them.

An additional consideration when choosing speed is *what* you are stitching. Lettering and details do much better when the machine is slowed down. Truly the only way to find the best speed for you is to test. You will get to know what your machine likes and adjust accordingly.
## Benefits Of Choosing The Right Speed
You will find as you embroider more and more where you can “push the limits” of speed and where you cannot. Here are some things to keep in mind when deciding to dial that speed down:
### Embroidery Machine Life
In this day and age of disposable items, here is one time when the care in the maintenance of your machine will prevent you from an unneeded, costly purchase. Today’s commercial machines (like the Tajima, ZSK, or Barudan) are designed to be 24/7/365 workhorses that can easily run at speeds up to 1200 spm. They are adjustable, so when you need to slow down (lace, tulle, nylon, etc.), you can, and when you need to get that job done with an eye to speed and quality, the potential is there.
There are fewer plastic parts on commercial machines because metal has less wear and tear, and there is less distortion with higher speeds. High speeds in commercial machines and some home machines produce a significant amount of heat in the bobbin race, so oiling on each bobbin replacement is mandatory in commercial machines.
**Frame vibration:** If you have ever tried to thread a needle in a car driving down a bumpy country road, you know the agony your machine feels if it vibrates while trying to stitch. Called “flagging,” with higher speeds, your hoop or frame will vibrate and bounce, adding additional movement and energy to your machine and producing distortion.
**Fewer needle breaks:** When your machine stitches, the needle plunges into the fabric, and the rotating hook passes by picking up the thread on the backside of your needle. **(Always remember to put the “scarf” \[the indented side of the needle eye\] on the side of the rotating hook and rotate it a few degrees to the right on most commercial machines.)**
As the needle rises out of the fabric, the frame is moved to the next location your needle will pierce. If your machine is careening about your design, needle deflection is created. The needle is bowed slightly out of place because it is not done rising out of the fabric when the frame starts to move. Now, some of this can be from machine adjustments, but the minute amount of deflection caused by speed compounded over hundreds of stitches is evident.
## Other Factors To Consider
Of course this is only touching the tip of the iceberg but let’s discuss a few other things which arise and are affected by speed.
### Thread Tension
Home machines have tension adjustment discs and can be adjusted to improve stitching. For commercial users, long-time operators can pull on thread through the needle and determine tension by that alone. For the rest of us, there are wonderful tension gauges, either mechanical or digital available from most thread dealers. Make sure to always check your owner’s manual for recommendations geared specifically for your brand.
For our commercial operators, a majority of machines have three sets of tension discs. Did you know that the largest tension set at the bottom is **not** the strongest? It is the first tension set on the top. That set accounts for 50% of the tension adjustment in commercial machines. The second spot accounts for 30%, and the final (largest) set for 20%. Again, consult your tech or your manual for more information geared toward you.
### The H Test
If you have not done an “H” test, it is simple! Create several capital H letters in satin stitch. A good starting place is a letter that has ¼ to 1/3 inch wide sections so that you can see the top and bobbin thread on the back. Stitch out one for each needle and then turn it over and check the back. The bobbin thread should be the middle 1/3, and the two sides should be equal thirds of the top thread, which has been pulled to the backside.
This test is a must for all of us and your first stop when there are tension problems. Make sure to check how your speed affects your stitching by running an H test at different speeds.
## Conclusion: Embroidery Machine Speed Effects Design Results
We have touched on several speed factors; you will find some of these more important to your work than others but let’s recap the highlights for you to take away from today’s blog.
- Start with a reputable design from a known source of quality designs. Our designs at Embroidery Legacy are perfectly suited for your work and stitch out soft and supple. These are designed with production in mind and will stitch out well at higher speeds.

[**Check out our free Embroidery Digitizing 101 Course to learn the basics of digitizing for yourself by clicking here**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-classes/digitizing-education/free-101-course/).
- Slow the machine to the correct speed. There are different speed limits for various fabrics, threads, and applications! Do some testing to see what works best for you and your machine. A safe bet for standard fabrics in typical situations would be around 600-700 spm.
- Make sure maintenance is done, and hooping is correct. Learn to check tension and adjust the speed of your machine. Use the right size hoop for the project to reduce “flagging”.
Remember, obey the speed limit and keep on stitching until we meet again!

Now that you know about some of the amazing resources we’ve created to help you start and thrive with your embroidery business, **read the tips below on how to start setting up shop to best optimize your workflow**. Even if you’re not looking to start an embroidery business, these useful tips and tricks will still help you optimize your embroidery workflow and best utilize your crafting space (particularly small spaces).
## Efficiently setting up shop for your home embroidery business
One of the first issues one might face when just starting is where do I set up shop? Unfortunately, when starting a business, most of us are not loaded with cash! Leasing an office / retail space is almost always out of the picture. So in this article, we’re going to show you how you can easily set up your embroidery workspace at home without taking up much space!
For many people starting in embroidery, setting up in a spare bedroom is the most economical way to get a business up and running. If you don’t currently own the property you’re living in, you may not want to remodel a bedroom knowing that you will move into a new location sooner or later. Instead of remodeling an entire room, we are going to be taking advantage of the closet!
Setting up an embroidery workspace in your closet can save you tons of space and help to keep a small area uncluttered. If you’re creating physical items that you plan on sending to your customers and making a profit with your embroidery, it’s more than likely you will have numerous embroidery tools and items to store. Keep in mind, you will need a majority of these items close by as you will be using them regularly.
### How to organize your embroidery work space
Thread, stabilizers, hoops, orders to be finished, and orders ready for pickup are just a few things to find a place for. Most bedrooms have a two sliding door closet. You can remove the doors for easy access or keep them on to hide your work area while you are not working. This closet is a huge benefit behind setting up in a closet. Unlike dedicating an entire room to your workspace, it’s easy to close the doors and keep out of view!
By dividing your work area into three sections, you can have all the materials you’ll need to fulfill orders. I would recommend using the first section for stabilizers, the second for items ‘to be embroidered’ and some space for supplies, and the third for your thread stash (don’t lie, we all have one). Although this is how I recommend setting up your embroidery space, feel free to organize your work area according to your own space and needs!
### Embroidery stabilizers
Let’s start with the stabilizers. When you’re embroidering to make profits, it’s important to remember that every penny counts! You don’t have to buy lots of different sizes of precut pieces of stabilizer. Buying in rolls is usually a more cost-effective option, plus you can customize sizes yourself with the rolls!
Placing wooden dowel rods for hanging the stabilizer rolls will keep them up, giving you easy access to them and making them extremely easy to cut. Having both white and black in cut-away and tear-away is the ultimate way to go. I highly suggest storing a few precut sizes of stabilizer you commonly use on shelves below the rolls.
> Make a small slit in the dowel rod and place a measuring tape in it and you can pull the backing down and cut the exact length you need. Place a slit on each rod and move the measuring tape when you need to cut pieces from another roll.

As I mentioned earlier, when starting a business, you want to save as much as possible! Watch for local and online specials and buy your rolls of stabilizer when they are on sale. Sometimes purchasing a bigger roll is the best buy. If you’re looking to order online, most online supply companies give free shipping for orders over a certain amount, so why not wait until you have a large enough demand and save on shipping? Here’s an example of a layout for the stabilizer portion of your workspace:

### Materials to be embroidered
Having a few different T-Shirts, hoodies, hats, among other items you can embroider on and sell in high quantities, is going to be a big portion of how you make your money. Therefore it’s important to always have some on hand. Do your best to keep track of what items, sizes, and colors you are using the most. Again thinking with your wallet and buying them when they are on sale saves you money and saves you time when you need the items in a hurry! If you are purchasing shirts/hoodies in one color but different sizes, you can turn the shirts in another direction, so you know how many of what size you have on hand.

Now because we’re working in a smaller space, organization is key! You will need a designated area for machine supplies and items such as machine oil, spray adhesive, scissors, extra thread socks, stitch erasers,[ hooping stations](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-hoop-machine-embroidery-tutorial/), and other tools. I can’t stress enough how important it is to be organized! Misplacing items can put a bullet in your productivity and workflow!
Having space for orders waiting to be embroidered should be out of the way, so they don’t get mixed with orders you are already working on. When all items ordered for a particular customer have arrived, place them in a box with the order number or name of the customer and store them until you are ready to work on that order. Do the same with orders you have completed. Keep them separate from items you are waiting to work on! You don’t want to start mixing up orders as not only will it make your job a lot harder and more stressful, but mixing up orders won’t give you happy customers! Ensure all boxes are marked, so finding what you want when you need it will be easy to do. I’m sure you can agree that not finding something, where it should be, can be quite frustrating!
Here’s an example of how you could set up this section of your workspace:
### Embroidery thread
Now that we’ve covered the other two sections of the closet, all we’re left with is the thread!
Here’s a helpful thread tip for you: many people aren’t aware, but the best way to store thread is hanging it in an area away from light and dust. If you have it where the sun hits it, it can cause your thread to dry, and it will cause more thread breaks while stitching. Also, keeping it consistently at the same temperature can add to the lifetime of your thread. If the thread warms up then cools down, it may not get completely dry before it gets hot again, leaving the thread down inside the cone damp and causing it to rot away. Try your best to keep your thread in a dry area free of dust and light.
A great way to keep your thread organized is by either purchasing or creating a pegboard! Having a pegboard to organize your thread is incredibly helpful as it not only gives you easy access to your thread but also gives great visibility of your colors. I would recommend putting your “every day” threads on the pegboard board and store other threads such as metallic or rayon in a separate area.

## Apply these tips when setting up your home embroidery business
These are just a few ideas of ways you can use your closet as an embroidery workspace. The best way to design your space is to measure your work area, draw a to-scale picture of the space and then divide it into the spaces you will need. This way, you will be sure everything will fit before you place dividers and shelves. You may even be able to move your entire setup to your new space when you move.
Starting a business takes a lot of time, dedication, and hard work. However, if you love the work you’re doing, you’ll never work a day in your life.
Good luck with the start of your business! The next step of your Embroidery Legacy starts here with ours.

## Understanding the three personalities of every new business owner
> Before diving into our 5 crucial steps/secrets, there are some things you need to know. In Michael Gerber’s book, E-myth Revisited, Gerber writes about the importance of understanding the three personalities you have as a business owner. The technician, the manager, and the entrepreneur.
>
> Author Name
>
> [Tweet](/)
The journey of starting your business begins by wearing the hat of the technician.
### The Technician
This is the part of you that fell in love with embroidery in the first place. You enjoy doing the work, creating the art. You are the technician. You’ve honed your skill and, at some point, decided that you should get paid for it.
### The Manager
This is the part of you that craves order and organization. The manager puts systems and processes in place to ensure that things get done efficiently.
### The Entrepreneur
The entrepreneur is the reason why you’re reading this article in the first place. This is the part of you that has the vision to learn how to start an embroidery business, to start taking names and kick butt. The part of you that knows you can get more out of your hobby by turning it into a hustle.
### Understanding how they work together
The problem is that these personalities don’t always get along, and that’s when a business typically fails. The technician dislikes doing managerial work. The technician wants to create art and be left in peace.
The manager doesn’t always get along with the technician. The manager wants the technician to do things in an orderly way, and the technician doesn’t always agree because it’s getting in the way of the art.
The entrepreneur only shows up in the beginning, gives you that spark, and leaves you to figure out the rest. The entrepreneur drags the technician and manager towards bigger and better things, whether the technician and manager are prepared for it or not.
### When learning how to start an embroidery business:

This is the key to applying the following points properly. When starting a business, we forget that working on the systems that drive your business is just as important as the craft of machine embroidery itself. You must approach the systems that run your business with as much enthusiasm as you approach embroidery.
Having a hobby that can earn you money is a dream for most people. It’s challenging to find something that you like to do with your time and earn an income from it. This doesn’t mean that you need to quit your job and begin your embroidery business, no. It means that you can start small and begin to grow and adjust as demand for your work increases.

Chances are, if you’ve invested this much time, energy, and money, you owe it to yourself to start generating a return. There are a few essential secrets that you need to know before embarking on your journey, things that will help you figure out precisely what you need to learn before moving forward.
## 1. How to start an embroidery business: Create a website
> Having a web presence is crucial to growing a business. Word of mouth is a powerful thing, but amplifying it through the internet is a must if you want to grow your business and brand.

Yes, it can be disconcerting to try and wrap your head around the process, but these days it’s much easier to build a website than you might think. If you can set up your machine, digitize your designs, or embroider garments for friends and family, then you can build a website.
Easy to use drag and drop website creators like Wix and Squarespace allow you to put a fully functioning website together in a short amount of time. Still uneasy about building your own website using these tools? Sites like Udemy provide cheap courses that will teach you to build your website in a day. You’ll surprise yourself, your friends, and your family.
Remember to upload some high-quality images of your work and add contact information on the front page. There is no use in having a website if people can’t see your work and don’t know how to contact you.

## 2. Find a Niche by letting it find you
This is important if you want to grow and increase your income over time. Contrary to what many people believe, offering embroidery services in all sectors of the market will not land you more customers.
Think of the phrase “Jack of all trades, master of none.” If you try to cater to everyone, your marketing message won’t be clear, and you won’t be catering to anyone. Having a clear niche allows you to target a specific audience and provide the specific services the audience requires. Here are just a few examples:
- Athletic teams/Schools
- Weddings and bridal parties
- Moms/Moms-to-be/Grandparents
- Focused Niche Market
It might be hard to find a niche right away. This is because you haven’t experimented enough. Start broad. Yes, finding a niche is crucial, but first, you must start broad and then narrow it down.
In the beginning, do precisely the opposite of niching down. Then find out what sort of machine embroidery you like most and can generate a decent profit. That’s the secret. When you’re just getting started, don’t worry about finding a niche immediately. It will eventually come to you – just don’t stay broad.
## 3. Invest in embroidery software that saves you time
One of the hardest things for new entrepreneurs to learn is to walk past a small pile of money to get to a bigger pile of money. I’m talking about reinvesting your dollars on software or systems that do time-consuming tasks for you and generate more income in the long term.
For example, these days, you can have your groceries delivered to your front door. Some people might scoff and say, “I’m not that lazy to have someone else deliver my groceries for me!”- those people aren’t entrepreneurs. Bear with me.
The entrepreneur understands that time saved is time that can be reinvested into the business to improve its systems and generate more profit. Paying someone to deliver your groceries might cost up to $10 and take over an hour.
What if instead of doing it yourself and saving $10 an hour, you pay someone $10 to do it for you, and make $50 an hour embroidering at home? Not only have you enjoyed embroidering for an hour, but you’ve also made $40 working for a customer.
## 4. Invest in an embroidery machine that you can rely on
To produce consistent results and guarantee the same high-quality work on all of your orders, you need a machine that can deliver. It is one of the most critical aspects of your business. The more time your machine is up and running, the more value you can offer to your customers, and the more money you can earn.
Many embroiderers learn to embroider on low to mid-range machines, and it’s completely understandable. However, if you plan on turning your hobby into a business, this is a necessary investment – a machine that is reliable and will last you a lifetime.
> **Think about it this way, if you’re doing some renovations at home you can likely get away with a common screwdriver. But if you choose to become a professional handyman, you’d need to invest in a drill to save you time and streamline your workflow.**

There are many options to choose from, and it can be quite intimidating. I want to make it easy for you. If you’re going to take your business seriously and rest assured that your machine will deliver what you promise to your customers, I highly recommend using a multi-needle embroidery machine to increase your workflow. Now when it comes to making money with multi-needle machines, there are a ton of factors to consider so I suggest checking out our article **[What is the Best Embroidery Machine for a Home Business](https://embroiderylegacy.com/what-is-the-best-embroidery-machine-for-a-home-business/)** if you’d like to learn more.
Remember, you are the artist, and your customer trusts you to put their vision onto fabric. If your tools can’t deliver your promise, well, it’s a recipe for disaster.

### [7 Easy Ways To Recycle Your Leftover Embroidery Stash & Fabric Scraps](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-use-and-recycle-leftover-embroidery-stash-fabric-scraps/)
**Published:** August 11, 2025
**Author:** Embroidery Legacy
**Content:**
Save money and get more creative while saving the environment! Sounds like a pretty great deal right? If you’re looking for ways to clean up the clutter, dump the debris, and use up/self recycle some embroidery leftover pieces and recreate them into usable items we’re here to help!
Your embroidery leftover stash maybe or may not be as jumbled as the one above, but whatever state it’s in, we’re here to give you tips to organize it into a usable stash!
Our first piece of advice is to use the Depression mindset (not the depressing mindset)!
They had a saying in the Depression, “Use it up, wear it out, make it do or go without.” When thinking about your ugly goodies, always keep in mind using them up. Ideally, we should not have anything go into the garbage, but if it does, make sure you think before you toss.
Using some creativity will make you something even better and result in you feeling good about it! Let’s go over how to clean up your fabric stash, how to store your stash, and how to be creative and use your embroidery mistakes!
## Cleaning Up Your Fabric Stash Clutter
What you might have in your “stash”:
**The bin of shame.** We have it; everyone has one! That bin of ‘oops’ shirts, accidentally trimmed the shirt and not the stabilizer, wrong place, wrong size, and just….wrong. It is important to save these items because even if they embarrass you, the material they are on or even the embroidery themselves can be useful to you and save you money.
**Do not cut up these garments** until you know you can use them. Cutting them up to save room may take away from a larger project you need them for later. Lay as flat as possible and, if possible, sort into fabric type or color.
**Save usable embroidery.** A piece of embroidery on a *garment* that got ruined is still good embroidery! You can cut these out and applique them onto new garments or bags and still save the day!
**Save notions like buttons, pockets, and zippers!** It might take some time to “harvest” these items, but pockets and zippers can be used in whimsical ways (hint… embroider pockets by floating them and then applique them onto garments). You can put them in fun arrangements or even use them on a quilt. It is fun for children and adults.
**Stabilizing the world** (just because you *can* have all the stabilizers doesn’t mean you can store it)
Stabilizer costs a great deal, so we always want to get our money’s worth. As a rule for non water-soluble stabilizers, do not save pieces smaller than your smallest hoop. Water-soluble stabilizers can be used in several ways, as we will discuss below. Store stabilizer by labeling large zipper food storage bags with the type and then lay flat.

**Bobbins.** For anyone who uses magnetic bobbins, read the back of your box! Many manufacturers will take bobbin cores (with or without thread) and recycle and rewind them. We will talk about some exciting projects to use these up below.
## How To Store Your Embroidery Fabrics Scraps & Stash
- **Bins** – Buying large plastic bins is a fantastic idea but do it in a smart way! Remember that bins store better if they are all the same shape and size and clear so you can easily see what is inside. If you want to label them, put the label on the inside of the clear type boxes to not pull off if moving.
- **Bags** – If you are going to store in bags you may want to rethink that idea. Paper bags get old and torn and have a lot of acid in the paper, whereas plastic bags and totes can be slippery and won’t stay stacked for long. Bins are the way to go!
- **How to rock, roll, and fold your stash** – However you decide how to clean up your scraps, find a way to fold them all the same way. Need be, use a cardboard cut in the desired size and fold your fabric using that as a guide. The fabric will be easier to fold, store and see. If you have not thought about rolling your scraps (especially vinyl), try rolling them up and standing them *in* a bin.
- **Environmental**– consider reusing things to keep them out of a landfill! Vinyl material, many fabrics, and more are not biodegradable, and if you can use them in a quilted square to make a bag, please do!
- **Labeling** – Consistency is the key! Make sure that your labels read the same way and contain basic information. You can buy printable labels at any office supply store.
- **Storing items, so they play nice** – encourage your items to play nice by putting the heavier boxes or containers lower and the lighter ones higher. Make sure to store them away from heat and sunlight as that can damage the fabric and other materials.
## How To Use & Recycle Extra Fabric, Scraps, Notions, and Embroidery Mistakes
Here’s where it gets good! We talked about some of the materials you might find in your stash, let’s think about ways to use them up because we all know there will be more. Take ideas from these and create your own “use up plan.”
**1. Make Stabilizer Spray** – when you wash away the stabilizer, where does it go? Down the drain, of course, but when you are getting ready to toss that in water, tear away the excess and save it. Water-soluble stabilizer is made with polyvinyl alcohol and is unstable in water and washes away.
To repurpose this, save your scraps, mix with water in a spray bottle, and use as a fabric stiffener. Some brands will have slightly different properties, but they all work the same. The brands which feel like cloth rather than plastic will have cellulose fibers that wash away but do not dissolve. Those will not go through a spray bottle as easily as polyvinyl. But you can still soak a fabric, a holiday ornament, or other projects and use this as a stiffener. Remember to make your solution as you need it.
**2. The “Unusable” Stash** – We realize that there will be things too small, not right, ruined, etc, which cannot be used conventionally. Take a recent suggestion in our Digitizing Made Easy Facebook group about stuffing scraps into an old pillowcase and making a pet bed. You can use them, donate them, or create fun “pet presents.” Depression Era seamstresses would use fabric scraps to line pockets, shoes, and other things. You may not see them, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t being used!
**3. The Usable Stash** – These are pieces large enough to make small things. Eyeglasses cases, phone cases, necklaces, lip balm holder, pint and quart jar covers, key fobs, ornaments, bookmarks, bowties, napkin holders, and more! Your useable stash can be sorted as discussed above, or you can donate these pieces to groups that make quilts for good causes. Make a new fabric! Take small scraps, and instead of quilting them together, quilt *over* them! Use a lace-like texture pattern and embroider over the scraps. You can then use that for a pocket on a t-shirt, cellphone case, or key fob.

**4. The “Embarrassing” Stash** – you may not want to think about the things at the bottom of that stash, but there are some great ideas in there. Have a positive attitude and be creative. Let’s say you have a shirt that shifted in the frame- your design is crooked or ruined. Embroider a few more of those designs (unless they are too big) and scatter them about the garment. You can make it *look* like you planned it that way, and no one will know. Likewise, if you have a large design that did not quite make it to the end and something happened. Don’t cry! Cut that design up into smaller shapes and applique them to a new garment. Make covered buttons or a book cover. You won’t be able to tell what the design was, and you may end up with something even better. Create a new fabric. Take little scraps of your “embarrassing embroidery” and lay them on a piece of the base fabric. Embroider over them such as mentioned above and use this heavier durable fabric for key fobs.
**5. Tramp Art** – Tramp art in the late 1800s and early 1900s arose as folk art created from old cigar boxes carved with a penknife. Although not intended to “use up” materials, Tramp Art objects could be picture frames, boxes, toys, and more. The process involved layering materials such as wood, glue, nails, and things found along the road. You can make your own jewelry (remember those magnetic bobbins?), make refrigerator magnets, fabric beads etc. Tramp Art thrives on creativity, and your workroom will have plenty of suitable materials.
**6. Crazy Quilt** – Crazy quilts originated in the USA after the Japanese exhibition at the Philadelphia Centennial Exposition of 1876. It featured a type of quilting from Japan called Shasiko embroidery, which used small fabric scraps to cover holes or reinforce clothing to extend its wear. It was generally indigo blue cotton with embroidery in running stitch, creating geometric patterns. Crazy quilts were made first by upper-class ladies out of silk, velvet ribbons, and more. Make your own crazy quilt squares with your scrap fabric (and more!) and see your creativity and thriftiness come to life.
**7. Repurposing Garments** – Thrift stores are fantastic to get clothes for projects! Think of your embarrassing stash as a source for sleeves, pockets, shirts, etc. You can take sleeves from one garment to make another- use fabric for stuffed animals (t-shirts are especially good), make bags, and so on. Remember to look at these garments not as they *are* but what they *might* be. There is so much potential waiting in these dumpster-bound treasures.
## Be Creative With Your Fabric and Notion Stash
- **Be Creative**– Creativity does not just happen; you need to work at it. Surfing the internet and looking at “idea boards” or sites can give you a lot of info. Make a list of things that interest you and save it for when you look through the “stash of shame” for quick and easy projects.
> *The image above demonstrates how to use scrap fabric onto your buttons, changing the fabric used on buttons can bring a whole new look to your garments.*

- **Look for ideas in all the wrong places-** Ideas can come from crazy places—for instance, the news. You might see a news piece about a new trend or artist or clothing. Look at magazines and craft boards. Fashion magazines are fun because you see new styles and trends, but for us as embroiderers, using those materials in creative ways can get you thinking.
- **Hide your mistake in plain sight-** It is said the best way to hide is in plain sight. Let’s say you embroider a dog on a shirt, and “arrrrgh” something goes wrong on the face. Go to the local craft store and buy “googly eyes,” turning your dog into a whimsical critter. Having something go wrong in a large design in the middle? Applique over it or cut it out and applique behind—glitter, fabric glue, buttons, beads- bling your mistakes out. No one needs to know it was a mistake but you.
- **Embroider over your mistake-** Recently, a member had an error on a very expensive jacket. She changed the design and embroidered over the old mistake. Problem solved!
- **Take a logo or design- break it apart**– capitalize on creative design. A mistake on a design is a perfect way to take a piece of it and repeat in creative ways around it.
- **Cutwork-** if you can’t fix it, make cutwork! Place the item back in the hoop and embroider a satin edging (remember to be careful working over bullet-proof embroidery) then cut out the offensive stitching. If you are worried about modesty, you can cover the back with lace or sheer material.

If you’re an embroidery beginner this article is for you! You’ve finally found the perfect embroidery design online and can’t wait to see how it will stitch out. However, here’s the tricky part, you don’t know how to transfer the design from your computer to the embroidery machine!
Stay calm and stitch on! Let’s discuss how you can transfer your embroidery designs from your computer to your machine in three simple steps.
## Step 1: Finding Your Machine Embroidery Design
I’m sure we can all agree that finding quality embroidery designs online can be either a hit or a miss. Not all embroidery designs are the same. What looks good on your computer screen may not look good when embroidered (and no one likes bulletproof designs!).

Did you know at Embroidery Legacy we have 30,000 quality designs to choose from? From applique and mylar to true vintage lace, we have something for your next embroidery project!
After browsing the site I’ve decided on this “[**Elephant with baby**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/product/embroidery-design-elephant-with-baby/)” embroidery file.
Now that I have my design selected I’ll simply add it to my cart and proceed to check out. After I successfully download my new embroidery design it will appear as a zip file in my downloads section.
To see the different file formats included in the zip file, simply double-click the folder.
Choose the stitch file format needed for your embroidery machine brand.
## Step 2: Downloading Embroidery Designs to USB Stick
Now that we have our design downloaded to our computer we’re going to need a USB stick thumb drive. The brand/type of USB does not typically matter as long as it has enough free space on it for the design.
Plug your USB thumb drive into your computer via the USB port and open it. As you can see, it appeared as “TOSHIBA” on my computer
Next, you will select the design file format you need from the zip folder we downloaded. Because I’m using a Babylock machine, I’m going to select the PES file. *Make sure you select the correct file type for your machine.*

Click your selected file and either copy and paste it onto the USB folder or drag and drop it.
Now that our design is on our USB drive we’re ready to put it onto our machine!
## Step 3: Transferring Embroidery Designs to Your Machine
We can now put the design on the embroidery machine! Ensure that you connect the USB and switch on the machine. Now look for the USB logo on your machine, here’s what the USB port looks like on mine.
Plug the USB into the machine.
For the final step, click the USB logo on the screen of your machine.
Now, you can browse through the files loaded on the USB stick. Select the design you put onto the USB, select your design colors, hooping your garment, and you’re ready to begin stitching!

### [The Ultimate Guide to Mastering Embroidery Adhesives Like a Pro](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-use-machine-embroidery-adhesive-sprays/)
**Published:** August 11, 2025
**Author:** Embroidery Legacy
**Content:**
Let’s talk about a truly sticky situation (pardon the pun)! For anyone who has had fabric slip, slide and slither around the hoop, or a cap creep around on the stabilizer, this article is for you!
We’re talking about adhesives. The sometimes savior of our projects, but caution my friend- even the best adhesives can turn against you if they are not used correctly. Let’s explore why we use adhesives in embroidery, the different kinds of sprays, stabilizers, and iron-ons available, and the pros and cons. Ready? *Hold tight*– here we go.
## Why Use Adhesive Spray with Machine Embroidery?
Spray adhesive can be a very valuable tool in machine embroidery if used correctly. It is useful in keeping slippery fabrics in place, minimizing wrinkles, and helping to keep the fabric from creeping while embroidering. It is valuable in placing stabilizer while hooping, resulting in a nice, even surface.
Adhesives are used in many ways in the garment industry, but we are interested in machine embroidery. We will focus on spray adhesive, heat-activated adhesive, and other types you will commonly see.
- ***Spray Adhesive*** – was first available when manufacturers could contain glue in a pressurized canister. It produces a fine to medium mist and an even coating. The difference between this type of glue and, say, your basic liquid school glue is that most spray adhesives are contact cement which means that you can spray two pieces of material, let the glue tack, and then stick together for a great bond.
- ***Temporary Embroidery spray* –** These sprays do not sink into the fabric. They are designed to land on it and allow you to hold fabrics together long enough to embroider and then wash away. These are not petrol-based and will dry quickly, so make sure to follow the instructions on the can. This is excellent for helping with small wrinkles.
- ***Quilting, Pattern, and Basting sprays* –** thought these were the same as Embroidery spray? NOPE! They are designed to have a longer bond.
- ***Iron On*** – Iron-on Adhesive is like a glue stick thinned out onto a sheet. You warm it up; it gets sticky, then it cools and holds two pieces together.
- ***Other adhesives*** – Glue sticks, bottled glue, cyanoacrylate (“super” glues), and more are not appropriate for fabrics. Even though the container or box may say “for use on fabrics,” that intent is that you will NOT want your ghost cutout falling off your Halloween costume.
- ***DIY Glue* –** There are a lot of recipes you can use for DIY glue, which is water-soluble from gelatin to paste-based, but those are not recommended for use with your embroidery machine.
## Types Of Machine Embroidery Adhesives
- ***Sprays*** – EMBROIDERY “Tacky Spray” is generally a fine mist of adhesive which allows you to stick a piece of fabric or **mylar** etc. on another piece of fabric. It is designed to wash out. “Temporary” sprays are water-soluble and will dissolve the first time you wash your clothing. It is recommended to get a machine Embroidery Spray from a reputable vendor- most large thread and embroidery stabilizer companies have sprays that will work for you.
- ***Permanent*** – There are permanent adhesive sprays- these are not water-based; they are simply contact cement in a can, and as soon as that spray comes in contact with the fabric, *something* will stick to it, be it the paper on your table, another piece of **[embroidery fabric](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-use-main-machine-embroidery-fabrics/)**, dirt, etc.
-
- ***Stabilizers***
- ***Iron on*** – these are heat-activated (think glue stick) sheets that can be bonded to another fabric or sold as a mesh/web that will fuse two fabric pieces. If you would not use a glue stick on your t-shirt or pillow, avoid anything iron on! Many of these have very fine coatings of adhesive and are designed for clothing, but remember that once that iron hits the fabric, you are committed. There are ways of removing excess glue if you make a mistake, but there is no guarantee that you will not be left with a mark.
- ***Water soluble*** – There are many types of wash away stabilizers that have a sticky back, and they will wash away in the laundry. Still, they leave a cellulose or cotton fiber residue behind, which can take several washings to remove.
- Here are a few examples:
***No show mesh fusible***: fusible side is shiny, non fusible side looks matted
***Fusible tear away stabilizer***
[***Tacky patch***](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-make-custom-embroidery-patches/): fusible tacky backed stabilizer
**Water soluble tacky backed stabilizer**
[***Post patch***](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-make-custom-embroidery-patches/): fusible iron on stabilizer
***Sheer fusible adhesive fabric interfacing***
### When Should I Use An Adhesive In Machine Embroidery
- ***Hooping***: When you have a slinky fabric that slides on your stabilizer or a small piece you are appliqueing.
- Remember, do not spray near your hoop or [embroidery scissors](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-scissors/). Lightly spray your stabilizer or iron ***onto your stabilizer*** or fabric, then hoop. Remember that spraying with a more permanent spray near the edges of the hoop will force the glue into the fibers of your garment under the pressure of the edges of your hoop.
> **Pro tip:** If you do accidentally do get adhesives on your hoop we’ve found the best way to get it off is with baby wipes! As John Deer likes to jokes around: “They’re great for cleaning a mess off a hoop, or a baby’s bum!”

- ***Floating:*** If floating, lightly spray the area you are floating with a mask and then lay your garment over. A basting stitch can aid in securing it.
- ***Patches***: You can use an adhesive spray or stabilizer.
You can pre-cut buckram-backed twill fabric and then carefully lay them into a pre-stitched placement line (yup, this is also one instance you will spray the fabric and not the backing). Or you can use **[Tacky Patch Fusible](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-make-custom-embroidery-patches/)**, which is a double-sided adhesive stabilizer that eliminates the need for any sprays and is very simple to use.
These adhesives helps keep that patch shape in place while you tack it down with stitches.

## Embroidery Adhesive Problems
- ***Accidental bonding*** – It happens to us all. You have everything set, and you put down adhesive and bond the wrong side, the wrong piece, or worse. The FIRST rule is to stop and not try to do *anything* until you have read the label on the product. Do not immediately try to heat it more or try a cleaner as you can make your problem worse. A visit to the company website will tell you how to remove the product and if it is possible. Permanent petrol-based adhesives are removed by solvents (caution; some of those are oil-based and can leave a stain) and will not wash out. Washable adhesives will not come out with solvents; some need detergent, and others not. It is too difficult to give you a hard-fast rule except to stop and research.
- ***Needle gumming* –** you would not think a needle becomes hot, but they do! They can get just warm enough to slightly melt heat bonding and create a residue on the needle, which will cause [embroidery thread](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-threads/) breaks and bobbin troubles. Always check your needle, and if using a heavy heat bond material, slow your machine speed down a bit.
- ***Permanent stains*** – as we said above, you can get stains depending on the nature of the adhesive. Petrol-based spray glues can leave oily stains. Also, keep in mind that many spray and other adhesives have coloring (generally yellow), which will not come out and show in white fabric.
- ***Sticky workstations*** – Okay… Hands up for everyone who has over sprayed their embroidery adhesive and their hooping station or work table looks a bit fuzzy…. If you see grimy residue on your equipment or work area, you are spraying too much and TOO large! Only spray as much as you need to cover your embroidered area up to your hooped fabric (even less if you can). You can easily make a paper mask out of plain paper (not colored) to catch over spray.
- ***Other issues*** – for those of us with asthma or other breathing difficulties, sprays can be harsh. Work in a well-ventilated room. It goes without saying but NEVER EVER spray any type of adhesive near your machine!
## Machine Embroidery Adhesive Tips
1. ***Machine drying*** – Remember how you heated up your adhesive to adhere to it? Well, a good hot dryer can do the same thing. Occasionally you will get distortion of the embroidery from overheated adhesive. Additionally, overspray on a garment can stick to the inside of your dryer. You will not notice it right away, but eventually, you will see “grime” inside your dryer drum from fabric fibers of all colors sticking to it like a lint roller.
2. ***A little test goes a LONG way!*** – It takes a little time but please test your spray on a small portion of fabric to ensure they work together to produce the effect you want.
3. ***Chemicals*** – As we said above, chemicals can be harsh for breathing, but you will want to read the label for other ingredients.
4. ***Repositioning fabric –*** Remember that sprays are put on the stabilizer, not the fabric. Using too much spray or spraying on both sides can create a good bond, but you may have difficulty repositioning your fabric and can distort it in the process.
5. ***Removal*** – We touched on this above but do not ***rub, scrub, wash, clean with solvent or soap, scape, heat etc.*** until you have consulted the label. Getting in there and scrubbing will work into the fabric you want to take OUT!
6. ***Consider a tack down stitch –*** Some applications just will not work, and pinning or tacking with a tack stitch will do the trick.
7. ***Not a substitute for poor digitizing –*** Unfortunately, sprays and adhesives are used to make up for a poorly digitized design. When choosing [embroidery designs](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-designs/), always make sure that you select good quality designs from a reputable digitizer since these should stitch out well with little aids.

## Conclusion: Adhesives Are A Valuable Tool In Machine Embroidery
This can be a lot to take in, but we’re pretty sure it will *stick* in your brain… In case it didn’t, here are a few things you will want to remember:
- Only use embroidery adhesive spray as that is generally temporary and water-soluble
- Use a VERY light mist and only spray your backing
- DO NOT spray near your machine or work area
- Work in a well-ventilated room
- Remember that sprays and adhesives are not substitutes for good hooping or digitizing.
Don’t forget, as hooping is one of the most important components of producing good embroidery, be sure to check out our **[Complete Embroidery Hooping Guide by clicking here](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-hoop-machine-embroidery-tutorial/)** for tutorials, tips, tricks, and aids.

When that embroidery machine arrived at your door, and the tech started it up for the first time, did you stand there and marvel at all the engineering and technology that must have gone into the precise timing involved in creating stitches at such high speeds?
Amazingly, one of the primary functions that make it run so smoothly is that with each revolution the machine makes, the tiny needle that carries the top thread needs to precisely interact with the rotary hook on the bobbin casing, creating a perfect loop as the two pass each other.
The truly amazing thing is that this happens while the machine runs at speeds of 700 to 1200 stitches per minute!
If you take the time to look closely at a needle, you soon realize the incredible amount of engineering that has gone into a disposable item that is changed so frequently. The needle itself is made up of many components that are shown below:
Notice that the front and back of the needle are very different and need to be placed in the machine with a fair bit of care and accuracy.
If you’re placing a new needle on the machine and you don’t line up the “eye” of the needle, so it’s perfectly straight, you will change the distance of where the “scarf” (back of the needle) meets the rotary hook, and it will greatly affect the performance of the machine. I know this should fall into the “common sense” category. Still, I can’t tell you how many times when I was running contract embroidery, that my seemingly experienced operators would make this mistake and then wonder why that head wasn’t embroidering well.
Another simple mistake I saw repeatedly was that the “butt of the shank” wasn’t pushed up into the machine, which again changes the distance of the “scarf and hook timing.”

## Needles For Machine Embroidery
If we get right down to the basics, the smaller the needle, the more detailed the design with less penetration to the fabric, causing weakening. The larger the needle, the heavier/denser the fabric, producing larger holes.

Pretty easy, right? Needles come in sizes ranging from 60/8 to 110/18; the larger the number, the larger the needle, with 75/11 or 80/12 usually the most standard size.
Looking at all the codes and system numbers for needles can quickly become confusing. The basic idea is that the numbers refer to the length of the needle, the eye size and location, and the eye-to-tip distance.
The needle below is an example of the dimension and shape of a DbxK5 needle.

Changing needles for that “difficult” job once in a blue moon was necessary, but I never went overboard, trying not to cause a great deal of confusion and unneeded downtime in production.
For the most part, we wouldn’t even change our needles if we were running on leather; I would instead make sure the design was modified at the digitizing stage, creating a file with less underlay and density before it got to production. Time is money, and if you’re changing needles for 3-4 colors on 24 heads, that equates to excessive downtime!
If you are a shop that uses varying thread sizes, you’ll probably want to try and use a needle with a larger “eye” size to accommodate them, but in my experience, keeping it as simple as possible is a much better way to go.
## What Needle Should I Use For My Embroidery Machine & Fabrics?
At this point, I’m sure I have a lot of people adamantly disagreeing with me! Changing your needles for varying applications is how it should be done, but it will give you a lot more to consider.
The first thing a lot of you must have thought was, “he used a sharp point needle for everything? Aren’t they just supposed to be used on woven materials?” Using a ball point or universal needles is much better for specific applications and absolutely necessary for others if we get technical.

**A ball point needle will push aside the fabric rather than puncture through it and prevent damage on knit goods; if you do very intricate work on fine satins**, let’s say geared to the lingerie industry, you’ll need to switch to ballpoint. Then within the “ball point” family, you can choose light ballpoint, medium ballpoint, special ball point, and heavy ballpoint. Varying for fabrics from lightweight knits and satins to extremely bulky sweaters and everything in between.

**If you are trying to run your designs on leather without modifying them, you’ll probably need to switch to a “narrow wedge point” needle.** The idea behind this needle is that as it perforates the leather, it leaves enough distance between the stitches in the embroidery to maintain the strength of the leather. You might be able to punch out the design after embroidering if you don’t.

**If you’re having trouble running metallic threads, switching to a needle with a larger eye or a needle particularly designed with an eye-shaped like a rectangle will aid the passage of the thread through the needle’s eye.**

Again, I cheated and kept my thread saturated in silicone rather than going through changing needles.
## Specialty Embroidery Needles
Various manufacturers offer needles with different coatings that make them unique. Single-head machines will run considerably faster than their multi-head counterparts. A machine running at 1200 stitches per minute will create heat and friction that can cause synthetic threads to break and melt holes through some types of synthetic fabrics.
Standard needles are chromium-plated, and as they heat up, synthetic material may stick to the needle. Teflon TM coated, and “Cool-Sew” finishes on these needles help alleviate the sticking and heat-buildup problems.

**Needles with a titanium-nitride ceramic finish make them more wear-resistant, extending the life of the needle 3-5 times longer, and can also be helpful when trying to embroider through very tough fabrics.** They maintain their needlepoints longer and maintain overall strength with a reduced deflection at high speeds.
## Machine Embroidery Needle Life
> It’s said that the average needle life is approximately 2 million stitches.

If we try and break it down to just how long that is, it might look something like this:
Speed 650 stitches/m
=39,000 stitches/hr
@ 100% run time= 312,000 stitches/day
@ 80% run time= 265,200 stitches/day
2,000,000 / 265,200 = **7.5 days**
Now that’s a nice little equation on paper, but try and keep track of it if you have an 18-head machine with 9 needles… that’s 162 needles to keep track of! We had a simpler strategy in production; if it isn’t broke, don’t fix it! An experienced operator can tell by the visual look of the embroidery and the machine’s performance if a needle life has expired.
## Skipped Stitches?
Skipped stitches can generally occur if the needle groove and size of the eye are not appropriate for the thread’s size or characteristics. Improper rotary hook timing can also cause this effect. It’s much easier for the operator to first solve the problem by checking the needle than it is to start right away messing with the rotary hook timing.
## Caution with Embroidery Needles
Above all else, maintain a healthy respect for that little piece of metal. Operators tend to get a little cocky as time passes by…thinking their ability to clean stray threads while the machine is running is a measure of their experience.
Over the years, I’ve taken my fair share of employees to the emergency room. I used to try and lighten things up by saying, “you’re not a true embroiderer till you’ve gotten a needle through your finger.”
I’ve had it happen twice, so I don’t know if that makes me a really good embroiderer or just stupid! The second time it happened, I hit a bone. Did you know that the needles shatter into many pieces when that happens? The funny thing is it happened the day my eldest son was born. I was downstairs having my finger dissected while mom was upstairs in labor; meanwhile, the staff kept us both updated with each other’s progress. I did make it to the delivery room with time to spare, and it’s not hard to forget the last time I put a needle through my finger. I highly do not recommend it!

### What Are The Different Types of Embroidery Machine Needles?
First off, machine embroidery needles are not the same as sewing machine ones though they may look identical. The eye on a machine embroidery needle is larger, allowing the thread to pass through and not cause a drag on the thread, which can fray it. There are two basic types of needles:
- **Round Point or Sharp needle:** This is the most common needle. It has a sharp point is which is suitable for most fabric types. These needles can be used in embroidery machines.
- **Ball Point:** Ball points are not as sharp as a round point (but they still hurt if you run one into your finger!!). They are designed to go in between fibers as it pierces and not cut them. These work well on slinky materials, knits, performance wear, and other fabrics which are manmade and have many, many microscopic fibers in each strand of thread or yarn.
Embroidery needles are most commonly the ones above. Still, they can have added features such as titanium coating, making for a more durable needle or a needle with a “non-stick” coating for working on rubber or other more tacky materials
### What Is A Needle System?
Use a recommended “system” to ensure you have the right needle for your embroidery machine. Think of it as a cartridge in a printer. Brand A always uses this system (shape or type of cartridges), and brand B uses another system.
Your dealer or owner’s manual will advise you on the system for your machine, and you will then be able to select your perfect needle. The shape of the needle shank determines the system; some are round, some flat. For example, a home sewing machine uses a flat shank, System 130 needle.
### How Do I Read A Needle Pack?
Like all things, needle packs have their own language, and once you learn it, you will understand what you are seeing.
The needle pack will tell you the needle type (embroidery, universal, denim etc.), the size, and the system. We won’t get into how system names came about, but the needle size that looks confusing is not.
These numbers can range from 65/9 up to 100/16. For example, 75/11 is the same size expressed in 2 ways! 75 is the European size in mm (.75mm in diameter), and the 11 is the US standard size. The larger the numbers, the heavier the needle.
Oh Drat! The needle is not in the pack! Have no fear! The size and system of the needle are stamped on the needle, and after you secure a magnifying glass, you will be back in business.
### How Do I Store Embroidery Needles?
Like anything metal, needles like to be stored in a dry, cool place where they will not be disturbed. If possible, please keep them in their packs so you know what type they are and so the tips, eyes, or shanks are not damaged.
While it is a good idea to sort currently used needles that are not in the machine on a divided board, pin cushion or other surfaces you stab into- remember that penetrating a rough or tough surface will damage your needle. They are best stored in small sandwich bags or bottles labeled with the type and size. You can add a cotton ball in the bottom to secure them, so they do not roll about.
### How To Clean Embroidery Needles
Do embroidery needles get dirty? Absolutely! Remember that wonderful sticky spray you used to tack down that last project? Well, microscopic bits of that tacky goo can become lodged in the eye, stuck on the shank, or gathered at the top of the needle and must be cleared away. Use rubbing alcohol (remember your gloves in a well-ventilated room!) and wipe them clean.
### How Can I Tell If My Embroidery Needle Is Dull
Many embroiderers can hear the machine begin to pound as the needles get dull but here are some signs you need to change out needles:
- Shredding thread
- Puckering fabric or pulling threads
- Skipped stitches or uneven stitches
- Needle not able to stitch through dense material and hitting needle plate
If you have a 6 needle or less machine, it is not a tremendous expense, but many people change out all needles at the same time. For those with 15 needle machines, it can be more. Many people change out the black and white needles as those are often used the most. A reasonable practice would be to keep a notepad with dates you change needles and try to stay around the 2 million stitch mark noted above.
### Why Do My Embroidery Machine Needles Keep Breaking?
Needle breakage can come from many sources, but here are some of the top ones:
**Poor quality needles.** Yes, there are luxury brand needles and bargain-basement varieties, but this is a simple rule of thumb: plan to use the most expensive needle you can afford. In the end, they are not that expensive, and ruining a garment or damaging a machine from trying to save a little bit is not worth it.
**Dull needles.** See the discussion above about changing needles; as they get duller, they will not work in dense embroideries and can break.
**Nesting.** All of us have seen a bird’s nest from time to time, but often you don’t see the hidden damage. A bird’s nest can bend or break a needle while it gathers. Make sure your machine is clean and threaded properly.
**Flagging.** Sounds great in a parade but walking by and seeing a hoop waving at you while stitching should set off alarm bells! Flagging is the material being pulled up and pushed down by the needle and thread loop, and the vibration of the hoop is started. Too large a hoop can cause a banging hoop for the project and the material bounces, floating material, machine maintenance etc.
While it is tempting to buy every type of needle offered for your machine- a reasonable practice would be to use 75/11 round or ball point, and after you get to know your embroidery machine and the fabrics you will use, invest in more specialized needle types.
## Conclusion: Choose The Right Needles For Your Machine Embroidery
With all this information and diagrams we’ve gone over, it appears there is more to a needle than just the appearance of being a small sharp metal stick.
It’s best to know when to change your needles to avoid losing money if you’re doing big production projects or knowing when to change your needles on your home machine based on the embroidery or fabric you’re using.

### [The 3 Main Fabric Categories Used In Machine Embroidery](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-use-main-machine-embroidery-fabrics/)
**Published:** August 11, 2025
**Author:** Embroidery Legacy
**Content:**
With so many different fabric types available to the modern embroiderer, it can be hard to know which type of material is best to use with your [**embroidery designs**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-designs/) and when to use them. Well thankfully, this article will help answer those questions and more!
When it comes to fabrics used in machine embroidery, there are 3 main categories based on how certain fabrics are produced:
- **Nonwoven fabrics**, such as felt
- **Woven fabrics**, such as cotton, linen, silk, wool, and polyester
- **Knitted fabrics**, such as yarn and French terry cloth
When the first home embroidery machines hit the market, it was fascinating. These machines had small embroidery field dimensions, and designs were either preprogrammed into the embroidery machine or design cards were placed into them. At this time, there were no designs you could buy online from the comfort of your own home; everything happened through a physical dealer. Times sure have changed.
Because not many people had [**a guide to machine embroidery stabilizers**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-use-machine-embroidery-stabilizer/) or knowledge of how to stitch out their designs properly, most of their embroidery designs were only embroidered onto felt. Felt was used as the fabric of choice because it was easy, and the overall stitching outcome turned out great.
Although stitching out your embroidery designs on felt to admire your work is fun, it is a lot more pleasurable to stitch out your embroidery designs for a purpose. But if you don’t know what fabrics to use for your embroidery, how will you create something both visually beautiful and functional? Thankfully, this embroidery fabric guide is here to help!
## The 3 Main Categories Of Embroidery Fabric
The 3 main categories of fabric used in machine embroidery can be broken down in relation to how the fabrics are produced. These fabric categories include **nonwoven** made produced with a felting machine, **woven** produce with a weaving machine, **and knitted fabrics** produced with a knitting machine.
> *When an embroidery design is stitched onto each fabric category, the design will react differently due to the fabric’s creation process and fibers being different. The fibers that are used to make the fabric are natural, synthetic, or a combination.*

### Nonwoven fabrics with embroidery
Nonwoven fabrics include acrylic and wool, which make felt. Nonwoven fabrics have fibers that are layered and then bonded together. They can bond together mechanically, chemically or with heat.
> *After nonwoven fabrics are made, there will be no spaces between the fibers; this will make the fabric thicker and denser. Because of this, felt takes embroidery well, but with its properties, it has no drape and depending on the fiber used, it may pill.*
>
> Author Name
>
> [Tweet](/)
Pilling happens when different lengths of fiber separate from each other, and then there is a little ball of fibers on top of the fabric. The uses for it in embroidery are limited, but it works very well when you do use it.
This is a sample of a design that was sewn on acrylic felt with no stabilizer. This same design, as shown in the images below, is used to compare how this design will also sew out on woven and knitted fabric. It was sewn in a 4X4 hoop and has 1514 stitches. The fabrics are all hooped with the same type of needle and thread. The design sewed out very well without stabilizer, but stabilizer would typically be used.
### Woven fabrics with embroidery
**Woven fabrics include cotton, flax (linen), silk, wool, rayon, and polyester.** They are made with fibers that are spun into yarn and then woven into a fabric. When they are spun into yarn, they could have a loose twist or a tight twist, and that matters because if they are loosely twisted, they will have more movement, which could affect your embroidery. Fabric is woven together on a loom. The loom uses two sets of yarn to form a fabric. One set of yarn runs the fabric’s length and is under tension to keep it taut while weaving. Those yarns are called the warp. The loom’s action will raise some of the warp threads, which will make a shed, and the weft yarn will be passed through the shed and beaten down to make the fabric.
The way the yarns are woven will give different weaves. The most common weaves are the plain weave and the twill weave. A plain weave is where the weft yarn crosses over one yarn and under the next. This is the weave that we see the most; quilter’s cotton, linen, and silk dupioni use this weave. In a twill weave, the yarns cross over two yarns and under two yarns and then offset the next row to give the diagonal line in the fabric. This weave occurs in denim fabric.
Regarding a plain weave, the spaces between the yarn can depend on how close the yarns are placed together. The wider the spaces, the more the fabric will move when it is being embroidered. The twill weave is tighter and does not leave much space between the yarns, which means less movement.
This sample has no stabilizer. It is a tightly woven quilter’s cotton, and you can see a little puckering around the middle of the design. The stitching is irregular because the fabric is not stable and is pulling.
> *This sample was embroidered with a cutaway stabilizer. It didn’t pucker and stitched evenly. The stabilizer is nonwoven so that it can hold the stitches well. This is a well-digitized design, so there are no extra stitches.*

### Knitted fabric with embroidery
**The knitted fabric seems to be the fabric that gives embroiderer’s the hardest time.**
> *Knitted fabric is formed by interloping one yarn. It has a lot of stretch and can have large spaces between the loops. Some knits are tighter than others, but they all stretch. The movement of the knit is what needs to be controlled when embroidering.*

This is something you would never do, but it gives you an idea of how a knit fabric embroiders without stabilizer. This fabric is French terry cloth; as you can see, it is stretched a lot and has skipped stitches. I stopped the machine when the fabric was being pushed into the throat plate. This is a disaster waiting to happen. It was time to stop before the machine stopped for me. We know from the other sew outs that this is a great design and sews out well, so the problem is the fabric and because we didn’t add any stabilizer.
This is the same fabric after adding stabilizer. It is a great stitch out. **A piece of cutaway stabilizer was used to stabilize the knitted fabric** of this French terry cloth.
## Have Extra Fabric Scraps? Try Applique!
A great way to utilize some of your small pieces of spare fabric is for[ **applique embroidery designs** ](https://embroiderylegacy.com/applique-embroidery-designs-how-to-techniques/)

Here’s a gift for you! You can [**download the cute tiger applique design shown above for FREE** by clicking here](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-software/design-doodler/free-designs-041575/).
There are a lot of different fabrics used for applique designs. The most popular is even-weave cotton, it is easy to stabilize with spray starch, and after it is placed down on the placement stitch and tacked down, it is easy to trim.
Vinyl has become a popular nonwoven fabric for applique. It is best if it has a woven back on it, so it does not perforate with the satin stitch. Vinyl is not always the easiest to trim, so if you have a cutting machine, the SVG files are great, so the vinyl can be cut to the perfect size. After the placement stitch is sewn, the applique piece can be placed and sewn down without trimming. Of course, you are able to use the SVG files with woven fabrics also. The SVG files and a cutting machine make applique fast and enjoyable. [Check out our large selection of **applique embroidery designs** here](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-designs/applique/).
## Embroidery Design Files Should Be Changed Based Upon Fabric Types
Why is this important? From an [**embroidery digitizing**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-what-is-embroidery-digitizing/) standpoint, you should digitize designs (i.e. create them) differently for different fabric types. If you don’t want to ruin your fabric and want clean looking embroidery, you would use very different density and underlay settings if you were digitizing a design to be sewn on felt rather than leather. You could learn the different settings & recipes used for different fabric types by learning **how to digitize your own embroidery desig****ns**, or you could get intelligent software that automatically changes these settings in finished designs for you.
## Don’t Forget Stabilizer For Your Fabric
Another factor affecting your embroidery design quality is which stabilizer you use. As was shown in the photos above, using the correct stabilizer can make a BIG difference in how your project turns out. There are many different brands of stabilizers, but types include cutaway, tear away, and water-soluble. Many companies have charts that will help you choose the right one for your project. View our **complete guide to machine embroidery stabiliz****ers here**.
Alongside stabilizers, **[needles](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-use-machine-embroidery-needles/)**, [**thread**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-threads/), to [**hoop your embroidery**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-hoop-machine-embroidery-tutorial/), or not to hoop, there are many factors that must be considered, but the type of fabric you use has many variables.
## Conclusion: Takeaways For The 3 Main Fabric Categories

Its uses are limited; if you find a fabric you like and know it will not take embroidery well, make a patch with the nonwoven and attach it to the material for better results.
> *Woven fabrics have many variables; the fibers used to make the yarns, the weave used, the thickness of the yarns, and how close the yarns are. All of these factors change how much movement there is in the fabric.*

The more movement there is, the more likely the fabric will move when it is embroidered on. Using spray starch and ironing on lightweight interfacing can make the woven fabric have some stability.

### [New to Machine Embroidery? 5 Mistakes You Should Avoid](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-beginner-mistakes/)
**Published:** August 11, 2025
**Author:** Embroidery Legacy
**Content:**
Machine embroidery can be a fun and rewarding craft, but it can also be tricky. Whether you’re a seasoned embroiderer or just starting, it’s easy to run into a few common embroidery mistakes. Don’t worry!
We will walk you through five of the most common mistakes embroiderers make—and, more importantly, how to avoid them to achieve flawless results every time.
## **1. Not Using the Correct Embroidery Stabilizer**
**The Mistake:**
One common mistake in machine embroidery is not using the right stabilizer for your fabric. I get it; many stabilizer options exist, and choosing which one can be confusing. But using the wrong type of stabilizer can cause puckering, uneven stitches, warped material, or broken threads.
**How to Avoid It:**
Always match the stabilizer to the fabric you are embroidering on.
- **Tear-away stabilizers** are used for any woven fabric that doesn’t stretch.
- Towels, leather, vinyl, etc.
- **Wash-away stabilizer** is used for sheer fabrics, like organza, that you wouldn’t want the stabilizer to shadow through since it dissolves entirely in water.
- Freestanding lace, 3D, cutwork designs, etc.
- **Cut-away stabilizers** are used for knitted or stretchy fabrics and any project that will be worn and washed regularly. They are the most stable and permanent stabilizers.
- Jersey material, sweat, stretch fleece, knit, etc.
**Tip:**
If unsure, try a test stitch-out on a scrap piece of fabric. It can save you tons of frustration by saving your embroidery fabric later on!

## 2. Not Testing Your Design Before Embroidering on the Final Product
**The Mistake:**
Stitching the design directly onto your final fabric is tempting. But this can lead to costly mistakes, especially when working on expensive or hard-to-replace items like garments or gifts.
**How to Avoid It:**
Before starting your main project, always test your design on a scrap piece of fabric similar to the one you’re using for your project. This will let you check for design issues like thread tension, alignment problems, or issues with your design. No one wants an unpleasant shock on their final project!
**Tip:**
Test stitch-outs don’t have to be perfect; they’re just for checking for potential problems without risking your actual project. If all goes well, you can also use this stitch-out for a future project, so you won’t waste any fabric, thread, or time.
> *Another key to great results? Start with a high-quality design! Cheap or poorly digitized designs can cause stitching problems no matter how well you prep. Buy from a reputable embroidery design company to ensure smooth, professional results.*

## 3. Using Low-Quality Embroidery Thread
**The Mistake:**
We’ve all been there—you find a cheap pack of embroidery thread, which seems like a great deal. But then the thread keeps breaking, the colors bleed in the wash, or your stitches don’t look as crisp as they should. Low-quality thread can ruin an otherwise perfect embroidery project.
**How to Avoid It:**
Invest in high-quality embroidery thread from trusted brands. We’re not saying you need to spend a lot of money.
However, buying a good product will save you time, frustration later and avoid wasting materials. Good thread is designed to handle high-speed stitching without constant breaks and tangles, keeping colors vibrant wash after wash!
**Tip:**
If you’re unsure which thread to use, test a few brands and see what works best with your machine. You can also ask your fellow embroiderers, like in our [**Machine Embroidery & Digitizing Made Easy Facebook group**](https://www.facebook.com/groups/EmbroideryLegacy)!
> Buying high-quality thread is only half the battle—you must also store it correctly! Improper storage can cause thread to weaken, tangle, or even fade over time. Read our article on **[thread storage tips](https://embroiderylegacy.com/thread-storage-embroidery-project/)** to keep your thread stash in great shape!

## 4. Improper Hooping
**The Error:**
Let’s be honest: not many people enjoy hooping. However, if you hoop incorrectly, it can really affect your embroidery. This can lead to crooked or gapped designs, or even ruin your entire garment.
**How to Avoid It:**
Smoothly stretch the fabric and evenly place it within the hoop – like a drum. It’s important not to over-tighten the hoop. Doing so can warp the fabric which may cause messed-up stitching or hoop burn on your fabric. The goal is to have the fabric just taut enough to keep it smooth without causing tension that could affect the stitch-out.
**Tip:**
A perfectly hooped garment saves so much stress later on. We’ve got you if you need help learning how to hoop correctly! You can watch our [**YouTube video about Hooping**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLGdOWpBnxk). John shows proper hooping techniques and gives his top tips to achieve amazing results!

## 5. Skipping Regular Embroidery Machine Maintenance
**The Mistake:**
I get cleaning your machine isn’t the most exciting part of embroidery. But trust me, not performing regular maintenance is a definite way to end up with a dusty machine, a clogged bobbin area, or dried-out parts. Avoiding this can lead to thread breaks, skipped stitches, and even bigger repairs later.
**How to Avoid It:**
Make it a habit to regularly give your machine some TLC—dust out the bobbin case, remove the lint buildup, and oil the moving parts as recommended in your machine’s manual. Also, don’t forget to change your needles and check your tension settings occasionally to keep your stitches looking great.
**Tip:**
A well-maintained machine doesn’t just last longer—it embroiders better! If you’re not sure where to start, check your manual or look up a quick cleaning tutorial for your specific machine model. If you purchased from a dealer, you can always return to the store to ask for helpful tips. Your embroidery projects (and your sanity) will thank you.

## Conclusion:
Embroidery is all about trial and error; we all make mistakes! Embroidery mistakes are a natural part of learning, but knowing what to look for and how to avoid these common pitfalls is important. Remember: take a breath, test things out, and don’t be afraid to make some minor adjustments. Happy stitching!

### [5 Ways To Learn Machine Embroidery Digitizing](https://embroiderylegacy.com/learn-machine-embroidery-digitizing/)
**Published:** August 11, 2025
**Author:** John Deer
**Content:**
Embroidery… so much to learn, so much to know. But where do you start, and how do you continue learning on your embroidery journey?
We are all here because we have one thing in common, we want to know more about embroidery, have fun with it, and make beautiful things. Then reality hits, and we feel like we are rocketed back to Junior High with all the insecurity, excitement, and dread at the same time. Do you know how we learn as adults and why it is better (and worse) than a child?
We don’t like making mistakes as adults; it means we are defective and not perfect. To learn this new skill, you will have to let go of some of the egos that whisper in the back of your head “this looks horrible,” “you will never get this,” “that other person’s stitch-out/digitizing looks so much better than mine,” “This is hopeless” or the worst place to go, “I’m so stupid.”
You will learn this new skill in a way unique to you, and in the time it takes you to do it. It would be best to commit to the time it takes to master digitizing and work on embroidery from concept to stitch out. It will not happen overnight, but when you get to the point where you can push that button without saying magical incantations, the success will be yours, and we will be the first to cheer you on!
## Learning Embroidery
Learning embroidery is not like learning multiplication tables or history dates. You are learning a *skill* that requires reasoning, planning, and analysis, and the actual knowledge of how embroidery works and the program and machine you use to create it.
Learning as an adult is not the same as a child because children’s brains are designed to soak up information. As adults, we take this stored information and add reason, analysis, and like experience to the mix, and at the end, we have skills.
However, it can be so frustrating to learn as an adult. Embarrassing, slow, frustrating, and costly. We forget one step, and there goes another shirt! Digitize too dense of a design, and we break needles. We analyze our work and do not give ourselves a break for trying to learn something new. We look online and compare our work with others and feel inadequate. We want instant results.
We’re here to tell you that learning does not have to take a toll on you, your wallet, or your self-esteem! There are benefits to being an adult, and we are going to make use of these!
1. **Adults have a higher sense of self-direction and motivation**. We want to learn because we see the benefit of learning and are not doing it because we are told to. However, just because we have motivation does not mean it will always come quickly.
2. **We use our life experiences to make sense of what we are learning.** Since we all have different experiences, we benefit from comparing our understanding to others.
3. **Adults focused on achieving goals.** Being goal-oriented can really work in your favor! It pushes you on and gives you the ability to get over the mistakes and the bumps in the road. We can see the light at the end of the embroidery hoop and how we can use our learning. A most important factor is setting reasonable goals that can be hard when you “want to learn it all,” but we can harness this energy to achieve more since we see the benefit.
4. **We need to know why this information is important**. One of the things we highlight in much of our teaching is *why* you don’t use all curved nodes. *Why* do you digitize at 6:1 etc. Just telling you to do something will never stay with you, but telling you *why* you need to do something in a particular way will lock that knowledge in.
5. **We are practical people**. We learn things quickly and then apply them right away and build on them. It may seem boring at first, but if we work the lessons in the way they are presented, we will take a skill from the first and add it to the next. So remember, just because lesson one seems really easy, it is there for a reason.
6. **Adults are looking for help and mentorship.** Here at Embroidery Legacy, the bar is set high for a reason. We have the experience and resources to guide learners to the best possible result and understand your learning needs. We offer support in many ways well beyond the end of your lesson.
7. **Adults are open to modern ways of learning**! Sometimes, we are not very flexible as adults, but we are when we see that it benefits us. We also can combine different types to get us where we need to be.
## Different Methods of Learning Machine Embroidery and Digitizing
We get to choose *how* we learn. We are not all round pegs; we come in every shape and size, and we want to tailor our learning to us! What works for you doesn’t work for everyone, so it is important to try everything at least once and give it a chance.
There are several ways of learning, with no one method being the right way for everyone! Below are five methods we suggest trying to see what works best for you:
1. Learning embroidery online
2. Live embroidery webinars
3. Live embroidery events
4. Reading; Digitizing Made Easy Book
5. Embroidery and social media groups
### 1. Learning Embroidery Digitizing Online
As we discussed above, one of the ways we learn is by being motivated and by goals. Online learning, especially after COVID, has really taken off and, if approached in the right way, is a fantastic way to learn embroidery!
> Are you interested in learning more about embroidery and digitizing? If you’re just starting your digitizing journey, I highly suggest you check out our [**free Digitizing Cheat Sheet by clicking here**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-digitizing-101-cheat-sheet-general-classroom-page/).

Here are some things to keep in mind when you take that first click!
- **Watch the video first!** Just watch. If you need a bowl of popcorn, we like extra butter…. We know you want to get right in there and create amazing designs, but to be successful, take time to watch the video and not be distracted by going back and forth between the lesson and your project. It is amazing how much you can miss in even one sentence.
- **Please work the classes in order**. Above, we talked about building on previous learning. To develop a new skill, you need to start with the basics and add to them. We often see questions in the group from members in online training who jumped ahead and were a bit lost. The lessons are your roadmap to success.
- **Take as much time as you need to complete the lesson**. For some, it takes a little time; for others, it takes longer*. This is not a competition*. Whatever it takes *you* is how long you need so don’t waste time comparing yourself to anyone else. Do the lesson 1, 2, 16 times if you like! You will only get better with practice. Remember, even a year later, a visit back to your roots is a great idea.
- **Please make mistakes!** It sounds strange but every time you make a mistake, give a little thanks! After the embarrassment passes, look at it as an opportunity to learn, and don’t worry! Mistakes are nature’s little way of teaching us.
- **Please** **Ask questions!** Our **Facebook** group [***Machine Embroidery and Digitizing Made Easy***](https://www.facebook.com/groups/EmbroideryLegacy) group is a great place to ask embroidery or digitizing questions! There are embroiderers of every level and experience who have been there and can help.
- **Make sure to stitch out the lessons.** Simply seeing them on the screen looks gorgeous but seeing *how* they stitch out and the *order* they stitch out will teach you so much! This is where you will find out where the design needs to be fine-tuned.
- **Make use of the Machine Files that are provided.** Using the stitch player in your digitizing program, look at the sequence of the objects in your provided stitch file will act as an aid for you to check your work.
> Another way to enhance your learning from the Deer’s Embroidery Legacy is to **[subscribe to our YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9mQiNJuVXtaVyvOcXhAWHg)**! We come out with new video content weekly, ranging from embroidering to digitizing, so you don’t want to miss it!

### 2. Live Embroidery Digitizing Webinars
Be sure to sign up for our newsletter so that you do not miss any live webinars. If you have not seen one, webinars are seminars held on the web. Our webinars present shorter topics like puffy foam, including replays available for a week or longer by purchasing our “unlimited replays” option.
> Are you interested in learning more about embroidery and digitizing? If so, you’re in luck! Our 2 fan-favorite live workshops are back with new dates!
>
> If you’re new to digitizing or have tried it but didn’t get far, we’d like to help you create and edit your own unique embroidery designs. [**Click here for more on Embroidery Digitizing for Beginner’s Workshop**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-digitizing-beginners-workshop/), where we help you fast-track your results using our proven system. Or maybe you’re more experienced but want to make your embroidery pop, literally.

Webinars are not as much a lesson but a discussion about a topic, including input from the audience and the panelists. We offer replays of webinars on our Youtube channel for most webinars. Here are some things to keep in mind with webinars:
- **Sit and listen. Enjoy the experience**. Imagine yourself in the audience of a talk show about a topic you love (embroidery!) with friends. Like the classes above- just listen and have fun. You are welcome to take notes and welcome to ask questions that can be submitted through the chatbox, and a moderator will pass it on. If your question was missed or needed further answers, your next stop is the Facebook group.
- **Reduce distractions** Don’t try to work on projects while you are watching; you may miss something big! Webinars often have giveaways and fun things, but they have a lot of information!
### 3. Live Embroidery Digitizing Events
Covid has been frustrating for a lot of people, and embroiderers are no exception. At the Deer’s Embroidery Legacy, a highlight for us is getting out to events, meeting you all, learning and laughing together, and sharing our passion. The live events have been put on hold but when that time comes that we see you again, here are things to remember:
- **Attend all the classes you are able to.** It can get tiring to be in classes all day but do not forget that even when you think your brain cannot hold one more thing… you are still learning. Adults are very good at passive learning, and we don’t have to “feel the brain engaged” to benefit.
- **Meet and Greet** Make friends and meet new people- this is your chance to build friendships and network for more information!
- **Handouts and flyers** You may not use that business card or flyer right now but take it! To remember why you have it, you can make a note to jog your memory when you sit down with a tote bag full of info!
- **Be prepared!** Make sure that you are not losing out on valuable information because you did not have your program installed or you were able to log in. Preparedness will get you far.
- **Don’t compare yourself!** Don’t worry about what others are doing; concentrate on your work and not worry if your tree looks as good as the person in the front row.
- **Get rest!** Make sure you are rested and ready to go! Sitting up until 3 am with your new friends around the pool sounds great but is a bit hard on the brain at 9 am the next morning.
- **Take pictures!** Whether you and your new friends by the pool or the amazing tote bag you saw, take tons of pictures. People, things, ideas, “how-to photos.” You can make videos or voice memos to keep your mind fresh.
### 4. Digitizing Made Easy Book
Initially published in 2008 and including a CD, John’s book “Digitizing Made Easy” has been reissued and is still a hit! Digitizing Made Easy is for every embroidery machine user and commercial machine embroiderer looking to better understand and utilize digitizing software. John’s time-tested method, demonstrated in 250 step-by-step color photos, will help you better identify modern digitizing tools and the best processes with which to use them.
With chapters covering artwork, auto-digitizing, stitch types, mapping, and sequencing, underlay, and blending, readers will quickly develop a solid foundation to explore the endless possibilities of digitizing.
*The re-release of the book on Amazon does not have a design CD, but this will not stop you from getting the best designs at*[ *embroiderylegacy.com*](https://embroiderylegacy.com/)*. The Original CD will not function with current operating systems.*
### 5. Embroidery and Social Media Digitizing Groups
Joining social media groups is a great way to keep up with new tips, tricks, and tutorials. It can also be useful as other members may have a question that you may not have known you needed to learn too!
We have a [**Machine Embroidery and Digitizing Made Easy Facebook group**](http://facebook.com/groups/EmbroideryLegacy/) where we discuss embroidery-related content, provide tutorials, and share new content available daily. We also offer contests and ways to win free prizes (and who doesn’t like free!).
If you want to belong to a welcoming embroidery family, we’d be happy to have you join us at The Deer’s Embroidery Legacy!

## Freestanding Lace Machine Embroidery Designs
### Freestanding lace designs
The design you choose to embroider can have a significant impact on how your freestanding lace stitches out. There are many options available, but knowing which designs to use is difficult. You need lace designs that are properly digitized, or it could ruin your decor. You want your lace not to pucker and look smooth after it’s stitched.
Embroidery Legacy’s lace designs are true vintage. They were created in the 1950s by my great-grandparents and used in the bridal industry. Our lace was specifically digitized one stitch at a time by European Schiffli Masters. All stitches lock together to ensure it is freestanding. Please note we highly suggest not modifying or resizing any freestanding lace designs in any way, as there is no guarantee it will remain freestanding.
Check out our [**large collection of stunning freestanding lace designs**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-designs/free-standing-lace/) that demand attention.
### Lace stabilizer
Using the right stabilizer when stitching out freestanding lace is very important as you do not want any leftover stabilizer to show through your project. The solution to this is to make sure you use a dissolve-away mesh.
> *Use dissolve away mesh with your lace embroidery to get the best results.*

This will not leave any residue, hinder your stitching, and will leave your lace soft and flexible. Using this stabilizer is very easy as you simply need water for it to disappear. We suggest soaking it in lukewarm to warm water. Learn more about **[embroidery stabilizers](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-use-machine-embroidery-stabilizer/)** and when to use them.
### Lace thread
When stitching out lace embroidery, we suggest using rayon thread. As it is often softer than polyester and can perform well during high-speed stitching, it’s perfect for delicate work and shows great results for lace.

During this tutorial, we’re going to be using metallic threads. They look pretty, but if you’ve used them before, you know the struggle can be real! Although the end result is great, the process of using them is frustrating. Metallic thread breaks are very common. To help relieve you of this frustration, take a look at [**our suggestion to stop your metallic thread breaks**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-threads/).

Not that you know the basics of freestanding lace embroidery, let’s get started!
## Supplies Required To Make These Metallic Wine Charms
- Wet-n-gone / wash-away mesh stabilizer
- Metallic thread is what we’ll be using, but you can also use rayon thread depending on the look you want to achieve

- Towel
- A bowl of warm water
- T-pins
- [**Lace Coaster Charm embroidery design**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/product/embroidery-design-metalic-lace-coaster-charm-br-3-13-in-x-3-13-in/)
More of a visual learner? I’ve got you covered. Watch the our Youtube tutorial here.
## Metallic Wine Charm Tutorial
**Step 1:** Hoop your wet-n-gone or wash-away mesh stabilizer. Use t-pins to secure it to the hoop.
**Step 2:** Make sure your top thread and bobbin thread tensions are not too tight. Load the hoop into the machine. Stitch the design at a slow speed.
**Step 3:** Once the first design is finished, you can sew out more.
**Step 4:** Trim away the excess stabilizer by cutting around the designs.
**Step 5:** Rinse the designs in warm water. You don’t want cold or too hot water, make sure it’s warm. You want to make sure the stabilizer is in the design so you can reshape it later. Once you’ve rinsed them all, take a towel and press down to remove excess water.
**Step 6:** Shape the charms around your wine stems or whatever decoration you want to use.
You have successfully finished your DIY in-the-hoop wine charm.

## Lace Embroidery Design Tutorial
**Step 1:** Hoop the Wet N Gone Stabilizer and ensure the hoop is as tight as possible.
T-pins secure the stabilizer around the hoop to avoid movement while the design is stitched.
**Tip:** If you have a commercial machine that is a multi-head machine or tubular, you should lessen the top tension and the bobbin tension. This will help ensure that your underlay connects as the design stitches out.
**Expert Tip:** Slowing down the machine speed for freestanding lace designs is also recommended. This will help ensure the design stitches properly and reduce the risk of the freestanding lace falling apart.
**Step 2:** Place the hoop in the machine and run the freestanding lace design.
**Note:** If you are running a metallic thread, it tends to loop while being removed from the spool, causing kinks in the thread. When these kinks pass through the eye of the needle, they will likely break.
When using a multi-needle machine or a commercial machine, you can avoid these breaks by spooling the metallic thread on its side and preventing the looping as the thread leaves the spool.
**Expert Tip:** On a home flat-bed machine, passing the thread through a piece of styrofoam before the thread enters the tensioners will help prevent the looping that causes kinks in the thread.
**Step 3:** Remove the hoop from the machine and the design from the hoop. Cut away all the excess stabilizers from around the design.
**Step 4:** Using hot water, wash away the remainder of the stabilizer from the design. Ensure you wash all the stabilizer away to avoid having stiff or starchy lace.
With the right tools, easy techniques, and a little practice, creating gorgeous lace embroidery is totally doable. Whether you’re upgrading garments, adding flair to home decor, or crafting freestanding lace, the results are always worth it. Now it’s your turn to dive in and bring those stunning designs to life—happy stitching!

Imagine standing in the kitchen making a nice cup of tea… ahh… relaxing. Your kettle is ready, singing it’s little heart out. That hot cuppa is so close when you suddenly realize you don’t have a hot mitt to pick up the kettle! A simple piece of cloth is standing between you and your relaxing beverage. What is a person to do? Make one, of course! As you look about the kitchen, you may realize there are many uses for decorative and functional embroidery.
Let’s discuss embroidery in the kitchen, which is a multipurpose gathering room we all enjoy! From baking to cleaning to safety, embroidery can play a part in your kitchen life. Let’s go over ideas for embroidery, fabric choices, fun designs and projects, and other factors to consider. Ready? Let’s get cookin’!
## Kitchen Machine Embroidery Ideas
Kitchen embroidery can be both functional and beautiful, and there are many different ways to display these ideas.
- Kitchen towels: you can embellish towels of every kind, including washcloths, hand towels, dish drying towels, and more.

- Washcloths: though these don’t seem natural for embroidery, there are surprising ways to applique fabric to make great soap cloths.
- Roller towels: some of us of a particular age will remember linen roller towels for drying hands. They were a large loop of fabric hung on a dowel which you used to dry hands and then advance for the next person.
- Tea kettle cozies: keep your ceramic teapot warm and toasty.
- Bun or breadbasket covers

## Machine Embroidery Kitchen Designs and Materials
### Kitchen Machine Embroidery Designs
Picking that ideal pattern requires more thought than just the color and design. Because you handle these items, you want soft, flexible designs that can stand up to tough work and still look great because you handle these items.
Smaller embroidery designs are usually better depending on the item you use because you want your “work area” to remain open for, well, work. Covering up the absorbent cotton of a drying towel takes away its chief purpose.
### Materials for Machine Embroidered Kitchen Items
There are no hard and fast rules for your materials; use whatever works best for you. However, here are some things to keep in mind when picking thread, backings, etc.
- **Thread:** Polyester thread is ideal for items that are used a lot and susceptible to stains. Rayon thread that is soft and lustrous becomes quite stiff when it gets wet due to the cellulose fibers’ swelling and tends to get fuzzy. It is also not bleach resistant and will lose its color quickly with harsh chemicals. Additionally, metallic threads are a thread core wrapped with a plastic or metal wrapping.

- **Backing/ Stabilizer:** This is an area where not having the bulk of backing works well, and using a water-soluble stabilizer is a great choice. It dissolves and leaves the stitching without a lot of bulk. No-show mesh is also a choice as it is less bulky and can stand up to washing without getting fuzzy. You will not want highly stitch-intensive designs on these items; opt for the more simple open choices.

- **Raised areas and texture:** Textured embroidery, puff, and other effects are excellent on garments such as clothes. For any kitchen item you create, a textured design can be a somewhere food and grime get trapped. In this case, smoother is better.

When choosing your kitchen embroidery designs, here are a few things to consider:
- **Redwork** – Redwork is a style of embroidery from the mid-1800s which created designs using a simple hand-sewn red line. Though these look simple, they are wonderfully historic and will add a touch of home to your kitchen and more. We won’t go into it now, but check out our [**blog on redwork history and designs by clicking here**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-redwork-embroidery/).

### [Fixing Holes In Clothing & Garments With Machine Embroidery](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-fix-holes-clothing-embroidery/)
**Published:** August 11, 2025
**Author:** Embroidery Legacy
**Content:**
We all have an “oops” moment that ruins your clothing! Tore your pants on a nail? Dropped paint on your sweater? Maybe you burn a hole in your favorite blouse? Fear not embroiderers! You can fix your garments, making them even better!
Today, we will look at patching, stitching, covering, cutting and eliminating holes, and saving a lot of garments. You will have an upscale item while having fun. As always, the more creative, the better!
## Using Machine Embroidery To Repair Holes
Let’s look at common holes that occur within our garments.
### How To Repair L Shaped Tears With Machine Embroidery
Let’s start easy! You tore your jeans on a nail, and now you have an “L” shaped tear. Easy! Lay the jeans down inside out and iron a small piece of light fusible stabilizer over the tear; this will hold the tear together and stabilize. Turn your pants right side out and hoop with a stabilizer.
Now pick your favorite design and embroider over the hole. Make sure that it is at least ¼ inch larger than the tear, or you can have some unhappy stitching. Trim the backing and show off your new “designer” jeans.

### How To Mend A Seam Tear
Seam tears are a bit harder to fix as attempting to embroider over that folded seam can cause damage to your machine. After stabilizing the seam with your stabilizer, reinforce with another piece of fabric and using a normal sewing machine stitch back and forth with a zigzag stitch until stable. Then using an [**embroidered patch**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-make-custom-embroidery-patches/) cover your zigzag!
### How to Machine Embroider Over Holes In Knit Fabrics
Knit fabrics are a bit more complicated. You will not want to iron on stabilizer because you lose the softness of the knit.
Proper hooping is a must! It is best not to float these garments as you need all the stability you can get. Instead, hoop your stabilizer and knit with the hole centered in the hoop.

### How To Reinforce Worn Fabric With Embroidery
Reinforcing worn-out fabric is easy! Simply iron-on fusible interfacing to support the material hoop with stabilizer and embroider your design. In this case, choose large, less dense designs.
## How To Replace Missing Fabric With Machine Embroidery
### Digitize a Design Yourself
One great way to cover up holes in your garment is to digitize an embroidery design yourself to fit within the fabric!
Creating your own design can ensure you have the perfect design to make that hole into something that never happened. Learn how to fix holes using your cellphone, [**embroidery digitizing software**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-software/digitizing/), and some scrap materials with John in this YouTube video below.

### Try Cutwork Embroidery
Does your garment have a big hole in it? Maybe it’s missing some fabric? A great idea to take advantage of this disadvantage is cutwork!
Depending on the location of the damage, use cutwork to make an excellent cutout! It is easier than you think, and it can really improve a garment (even without a tear!) The design is placed so the tear is removed, and the hole looks intentional. You can also add other areas on the garment to work that tear into a design. Browse our [**40+ cutwork designs by clicking here**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-designs/cutwork/)!

## How To Cover Up Stains With Machine Embroidery
### How To Save Stained Garments With Machine Embroidery
You should have no difficulties embroidering over it if it is just a stain. Pick a pattern large enough to cover that area and get to work!
Do you think the stain is a pretty color? Consider incorporating that into your design as a background you “intended” to be there. Consider it an exercise in “inkblot doodling.”
### How To Embroider Over Painted Fabric
What about paint? If the paint is thick, try to scrape off as much as possible (we do not want to hurt your machine) or consider cutting out the affected area and using the cutwork projects above.
Another idea to embroider over painted fabric? Just embrace the paint! We have a large selection of Sew N Color embroidery designs where you embroider your designs and then use fabric paint to add some color. Consider using colors similar to the already existing paint on your garment.

You can embroider designs or texture stitches over patterned fabric and use squares or other shapes for patch pockets or sewn on patches to cover problems.
For frayed edge patches, simply embroider the fabric, scissors clip into the edge every ¼ inch, and fray the fabric. After several washings, the patch will have a more frayed and fuzzy look.
Simply turn the edges over and sew on to your garment for patch pockets. Or check out our [**embroidery pocket embroidery designs**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-designs/in-the-hoop/pockets/) to make things even easier. Remember, pockets don’t have to be on a shirt or back of your jeans!
### When Fabric Isn’t Usable For Machine Embroidery
Sometimes your garment just can’t be saved. Before you head to the trash bin, why not recycle your fabric into usable items? Sometimes you need a little guidance on using your leftover fabric; [**click here for seven easy ways to recycle your leftover embroidery stash and fabric scraps**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-use-and-recycle-leftover-embroidery-stash-fabric-scraps/).
## Conclusion: Use Machine Embroidery To Turn Your Accidents Into Intentional Creativity
When it comes to fixing holes in your garments with machine embroidery, fix it up, wear it out, make it do, or go without! Here are some key things to remember.
- Don’t throw clothes away until you attempt an awesome repair!
- Consider the tear or stain and then decide how to repair it. There is no wrong answer to repairing your garments, whether it involves cutwork, fabric paint, or creating your own embroidery design.
- Can’t save your garment? Recycle it! Try out one (or a few) of our seven ways to recycle your leftover fabrics to save money and be creative.

### [How To Embroider On Leather and Vinyl: Complete Guide](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-embroider-on-leather-vinyl/)
**Published:** August 11, 2025
**Author:** Embroidery Legacy
**Content:**
> Although leather and vinyl may seem very different, being organic and synthetic, they are remarkably similar in texture and how they react to embroidery.
>
> Author Name
>
> [Tweet](/)
**This guide will teach you why problems arise when embroidering on leather & vinyl, and provide you with some tips and best practices to get better-embroidered results.**
## Embroidering on Leather
Leather can be a little more challenging to assess as its attributes will vary on the type of hide, the thickness, the quality, and how it was processed. Some hide can be very thick and have little or no stretch, such as cowhides used in leather, or melton/leather jackets, or softer quality items made from lambskin, buckskin, or suede, which generally have more give and can stretch out of shape.
## Embroidering on Vinyl
Vinyl being synthetic, won’t have the variance of stretch that leather goods might have. However, what they have in common is that the penetrations made during embroidery don’t close or drawback itself as they do with fabrics, leaving permanent holes. Marine vinyl products tend to have a better result as they have woven backing, which helps hold the stitches. Regardless, too many penetrations will cut into the leather or vinyl and punch holes.
## Reduce Density When Digitizing for Leather & Vinyl
That said, designs embroidered on leather and vinyl should be digitized explicitly for that purpose, much in the same way you need to digitize precisely for finished baseball caps embroidered on cap frames. Too much density in a design will cause bulletproof embroidery, numerous thread breaks, and potential needle breaks. These are disastrous, as leather goods damaged by broken needles cannot be saved and are generally higher-end expensive items. Too much density dramatically increases the stress factor when doing this type of work. Fill stitches with regular densities also tend to have a puckering effect causing a wave on the surface.
## Factors To Consider When Embroidering Leather & Vinyl
- The size of your needle
- What type of thread you use
- How to hoop your item
- What kind of stabilizer you use
- Is the design you have chosen made for leather/vinyl production
Needle Size
### Needle Size
To be honest, I don’t practice what I’m going to preach. But I do have a reasonably good explanation as to why. Industry experts suggest using an 80/12 leather needle when embroidering on leather as it has a wedge point in the shape of a triangle, which reduces the size of the hole made while stitching into the leather. I agree with the principle but have to be honest that I’ve never changed my needle before embroidering on leather or vinyl.
As it may seem surprising, I’ve always used a standard 75/11 for everything I embroider on. My reasoning is merely economic. When my family ran production, we had 136 multi-head running in our factory alone, and we created designs for our partner’s factory, which ran over 300 multi-heads. Can you imagine changing just needles 3, 5 and 6 on a twelve needle, twenty-four head machine for a run of 300 jackets and then having to change them back? It would be a logistical nightmare as we ran three shifts with different operators and floor managers. Keeping track would have been a nightmare, and the downtime alone with just changing needles would have drastically affected profits.
So, then the question is, how can you get quality results without changing the needles? It all comes down to how the design is digitized. **[If you’re not familiar with embroidery digitizing, click here.](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-what-is-embroidery-digitizing/)** A design properly digitized specifically for leather will primarily produce the same results regardless of changing the needles for a specific use. In production, our policy for changing needles was simple; we replaced them when they broke or when a thread would fray consecutively two or three times in a row.
### Thread Of Choice
When I ran production, Rayon was the industry standard, but luckily today’s thread of choice is Polyester which is much stronger. Using Rayon meant designs had to be digitized with low densities as it is not nearly as strong as today’s polyester. **[To learn more about the different types of embroidery thread available, click here.](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-threads/)**
### Hooping Technique
The other factor to consider when embroidering leather or vinyl is hooping. Both can be difficult to hoop because of the thickness of the item, and leather does tend to scuff or permanently mark. If you do hoop both sides within the leather, I suggest creating a “felt window” that acts as a barrier between the hoop surface and leather. Doing this will reduce the chances of scuffing the surface of the leather and can be repeatedly used.
I do remember situations while embroidering on delicate leather/suede, where I would float the item on a hooped piece of stabilizer. I did this to ensure it wouldn’t move. To reduce puckering, we would always use some temporary spray adhesive sprayed on the stabilizer and then laying the leather down. If I can hoop the item, I will, but if not, floating is a good option.
Today I have a relatively new option, which I feel is hands down the best. Magnetic hoops have become extremely popular with both multi-needle machines and home-based drop-in bobbin machines.
> Magnetic hoops are perfect for hooping leather and vinyl as they hold the item tightly and in no way damage, scuff or mark the leather.

> [Tweet](/)
Magnetic hoops have quickly become one of our favorite add-ons, and if you want to embroider on leather, they are a must, in my opinion, and well worth the investment. On a tubular multi-needle machine, using a magnetic hoop gives you the ability to embroider finished leather goods. These include jackets, bags, and even boots and small items while using some of the optional magnetic hoops.
### Type Of Stabilizer
For leather, I prefer using one piece of medium-weight Cut-Away stabilizer. Cut-Away will ensure that the stitches will have a secure surface to lay on and minimize the possibility of the design cutting the leather completely. I have seen “dense” designs embroidered on leather that punched out a hole separating the design from the leather altogether, giving a whole new meaning to the word “cutwork” in embroidery.
In regards to vinyl, it has mostly been used for simple in-the-hoop projects like key fobs, luggage tags, various holders, and other novelty items. The same general rules with using low-density designs apply; however, the stabilizer used is different than leather. Because marine vinyl is generally backed and with an item like a fob or tag, and two pieces of vinyl are used within the process, I suggest using a medium-weight Tear-Away as opposed to a Cut-Away. The Tear-Away will be adequate for the embroidery and will reduce the finishing time of in-the-hoop projects. Generally, these projects only require hooping the stabilizer, not the vinyl within the hoop. Running stitch outlines are embroidered directly on the stabilizer, which shows the placement to lay down your vinyl, this works out well as it reduces material waste.
## How To Know If A Design Was Created For Leather & Vinyl
The only other factor to consider is, how do you know if a design will embroider well on vinyl or leather?
> To play it safe, think about pretty much any design as not friendly unless the company or digitizer is stating that the design is created for that exact purpose.
>
> Author Name
>
> [Tweet](/)
The next question is, can a “standard” design be edited or modified to run vinyl or leather? The answer, in most cases is… not very easily! From the digitizing process, the densities of both satin and fill stitches need to be reduced. As an example, a satin stitch’s standard density might be .4mm, for leather that would change to .45mm to .6mm depending on how many layers of embroidered stitches there are. With fill stitches, the standard density is also .4mm, on leather, it would be .6mm, and I might increase the stitch length on the fill if the leather seems reasonable or has a stretch to it. Then when we get to running stitches, the stitch length is generally longer than the 2-2.5mm standard, and you need to be very careful that short stitches are not being generated. Also, all the underlay values change, from the type to the stitch length and spacing. Finally, the pull compensation is minimized compared to standard fabrics because leather tends not to move the way fabric does.
> Everything within a design created specifically for leather is watching that the densities and the space between stitch penetrations decrease.

Sound complex? To be honest, it kind of is. Learning the recipes for dozens of fabrics and how they react with different threads and stabilizers can take decades to master. Whether you’re a commercial embroiderer or home embroiderer, no one has that much time to dedicate. So the key is two-fold; if you have the right tools and the right teacher, you pass the learning curve in a fraction of the time!
## Conclusion: Embroidering On Leather & Vinyl Doesn’t Have To Be Difficult
As you’ve now learned, there are many factors to consider when embroidering on leather and vinyl. The needle size, thread, stabilizer, hooping technique, and your design pattern are all important factors to consider.
After using your knowledge of how to implement these factors properly, you should see an improvement in your embroidered results.
Enjoy your embroidery time in leather-leather land (bad pun, I know)… Happy stitching!

Always make sure that your design is no larger than 1 inch. Anything larger can stitch over numerous layers of the seam. It is best to have the waistband aligned with the edge of the embroidery hoop frame.
**Embroidered Jean Pockets**
Stick a small hoop in a pocket and embroider a flower. Take the pocket off the pants with a seam ripper and create your own embroidered flower garden!
We removed the pocket, ironed it, and embroidered flowers on the back of the pants. Then, we embroidered a fence on the pocket. And there you have it! We now have a fun and dainty garden!
**Repair Holes In Your Jeans With Embroidery**
You likely will have to open the seam of the jeans to hoop properly. It’s usually better to open the seam on the inner thigh and sew it back together.
You can use lace, old drapery, or sheets as a subtle (almost like cutwork) background. Get as creative as you’d like and take advantage of your fabric stash.

## Embroidered Stylish Rope Bowl Tutorial
Once you make one of these bowls, you will not believe how easy it was and will want to plan more! You can make larger-scale bowls for centerpieces or, with leftover lengths of rope, create coasters and trivets.
**Step 1:** Find an embroidery pattern you like. A general rule of thumb is “less is more,” meaning the less dense, the better. Do not be afraid of lettering or other shapes and designs, but that 100000 stitch design may not be the best for this medium.
*You need to find a design that fits in your hoop with a little room to spare but gives it more stability on the base and a clean stitching surface.*
Or you can use a loose tatami stitch used to flatten the nap or pile of fabrics. These are low density fills placed under the main design. This smashes down the terry loops and allows the top stitching to show!
**Step 2:** Start with one end of the rope. Use a small piece of scotch tape and wrap it around the end to keep it from fraying apart. Remember to use only a small amount and wrap once since you may want to stitch over it.
**Step 3:** Create the beginning spiral and secure it with pins to hold it in place. You only need to do three wraps or so.
**Step 4:** Once the spiral is pinned, use the sewing machine to stitch across the spiral in an “X” pattern to hold the rope in place.
**Step 5:** Remove the pins
**Step 6:** You can now change the machine to a long wide zigzag and start constructing the bottom of the bowl. You will stitch the wraps together while turning the spiral feeding rope as you go.
> *Tip: Do not pull the rope tight for the first ten or so wraps! If you do, it will mound up in the center. Keep it as loose as possible, even bunching it up slightly.*

**Step 7:** Work the spiral until it measures approximately 6 inches. You may work larger if you have a larger hoop.
**Step 8:** Stitch back and forth with the zigzag to hold the loose rope in place
**Step 9:** Hoop a piece of medium-weight tear-away stabilizer.
**Step 10:** Place your spiral “pancake” in the hoop securing it with a light spray of temporary embroidery adhesive.
**Step 11:** Be careful to center your needle in the exact enter of the spiral so your design is aligned.
**Step 12:** Stitch out your design; watch your bowl bottom stitch out as you go to ensure the rope remains flat in the machine.
**Step 13:** When your design is finished, remove your rope project from the embroidery machine and hoop. Tear away your stabilizer.
**To construct the remainder of the bowl:**
**Step 14:** Return to the sewing machine with the stitch setting on a long wide zigzag.
**Step 15:** As you continue to work the bowl, begin to hold the base of the bowl up, so you are bending the bottom to begin the sides.
**Step 16:** Continue to work the bowl until the side is the height you want.
**Step 17:** Cut the rope and lightly tape it to finish.
**Step 18:** Zigzag stitch back and forth over the rope’s end. You can tuck it under for a cleaner look.
**Step 19:** YOU’RE DONE!
## Conclusion: Embellish Any Room With These Easy, Stylish Rope Bowls
You never thought a packet of cotton clotheslines could end up as these beautiful bowls and coasters, right? Now you know they can!
You can create centerpieces, keychains, bowls, coasters, and more with little effort. Here are the takeaways we want to leave with you when working with this wonderfully versatile material!
- Use COTTON clothesline. Do not use paracord or other climbing ropes or sisal as they can damage your machine.
- Using an underlay stitch used to flatten the nap or pile of fabrics stitch helps to create a sturdy base for your design.
- Don’t throw away rope ends- you can use them for smaller projects.
Until we get together again, stitch happy and be creative!

### [How to Embroider Socks in Simple Steps: A Beginner’s Guide](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-embroider-socks-tutorial/)
**Published:** August 11, 2025
**Author:** Embroidery Legacy
**Content:**
Ready to step up your sock game? Let’s cover all things machine embroidery on socks! Explore exciting placements and the best methods to bring your sock designs to life.
From fun patterns to personalized touches, we’ve got ideas to suit every style. We’ll discuss how to embroider your socks with and without a sock hooping aid. Whether you’re new to embroidery or a seasoned pro, get ready to kick off your shoes and dive into a world of creativity with our step-by-step tutorial!
## Materials Needed To Embroider Socks
Here are the materials you need:
- Pair of socks
- Cutaway or tearaway stabilizer (we used medium-weight cutaway)
- [**Embroidery adhesive spray**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-use-machine-embroidery-adhesive-sprays/)
- Pins
- Embroidery hoop (hoop size is up to you)
- [**Sock embroidery hoop**](https://www.amazon.com/Sock-Embroidery-Machine-Hooping-Hoops/dp/B004A7SVS2?&linkCode=ll1&tag=thedeersembro-20&linkId=220c8a35b805b18db5b2413f16ae886a&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl) (optional)
- [**Embroidery design** ](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-designs/)
## How To Embroider Socks: Pin Tutorial
We’ll start with a sock and lay it flat.
Place a pin at the halfway point of the sock. This ensures that the design stitches on the side of the leg where it will be noticeable.
To embroider your sock, use the floating hooping method. This method is suitable for small items like socks, hankies, patches, etc, but not for large items like shirts, coats, or bags.

> *To float your sock, first hoop the stabilizer. Then, use a light temporary embroidery spray on the stabilizer. Attach the sock and pin to expose the sewing field.*

Start by hooping a piece of stabilizer. We used a medium-weight cutaway.
Mark a line for the center point of your hoop for alignment.
Lay paper towels over the edge of the hoop to protect it from overspray.
Give a light spray of temporary embroidery spray- remember, less is more!

Attach your sock to the stabilizer, aligning the pin with the alignment mark you made. You will use pins to provide more support. Make sure you use the sock’s ribs to help with alignment. You will want to stretch the sock out slightly so that when worn, it looks natural.
It will look like this stretched out:
And it will look like this at rest:
But trust us, it will look great when worn!
To pin, start by stretching each side of the sock a bit. Then, pin through the stabilizer to hold it down.
When pinned correctly, you will pin in each corner near the top and use two more pins to create a “box .”You will also use a pin to hold back the excess.
The box below is our stitch area:
Now, prepare your embroidery design!

When you lay your design flat, it should be large enough to be seen but not more than ⅓ of the sock. Depending on your design, you can go a little larger or smaller.
If you have [embroidery software](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-software/digitizing/), you will want to use a knockdown stitch on heavier ribbed socks to ensure a stable surface.
Match your thread to your sock, and you will have a perfect base for your design. Here is what the laydown stitch looks like on our sock:
Stitch your design on your embroidery machine and then carefully trim the stabilizer.
You have now finished your embroidered sock.
## How To Embroider Socks: Sock Hooping Aid Tutorial
A sock hooping aid is a handy wire frame that safely holds back the sock in the machine.

Using this method, we will turn our sock inside out.
While the sock is inside out, insert the sock hooping aid as shown below.
Pull the edge of the sock up over the protected end of the aid. Align the prong with the edge of the sock to make it lie flat while using it.
Prepare your embroidery hoop. We use a lightweight tearaway stabilizer and a slightly larger hoop to give room for the hooping aid.
Cover the hoop with a paper towel, then lightly spray the stabilizer with temporary embroidery spray to protect it.
Lightly spray the sock to give it a little extra stick to hold it firm.
Once you safely attach the sock and the hoop to the stabilizer, you can add a pin for safe stitching.

Place your frame in the machine and stitch out your design.
Remove or trim the stabilizer, turn your sock inside out, and you’ve embroidered your sock!
### Embroidering Sock Cuffs
Embroidering a sock cuff is easy, but one step differs from the instructions above.
> *You will **not** turn the sock inside out to embroider a cuff; instead, you will embroider on the **wrong** side!*

Remember, the ***inside*** of the sock becomes the ***outside*** when you turn it over to create the cuff. You will also ***turn the design upside down.*** If you stitch on the inside of the sock and then turn it down to make the cuff.
Here is the same design on the same pair of socks, just different placements:
## Conclusion: Best Results For Sock Embroidery
Tips to get the best results on your socks:
- Choose smaller, less complicated designs.
- On thicker socks, use a knockdown stitch to create a stable surface. Match the thread color to the base sock color.
- Take time to pin your socks in the hoop for better results!
- ***Never put your fingers in or near the machine when it is stitching!***
Embroidering on socks opens a world of creative possibilities! Add flair to everyday socks or create personalized gifts that stand out; you can show personality with every step!

### [How to Embroider Sweatshirt Sleeves: Beginners Tutorial](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-embroider-sweatshirt-sleeves-tutorial/)
**Published:** August 11, 2025
**Author:** Embroidery Legacy
**Content:**
Have you ever thought about giving your sleeves a stylish twist with machine embroidery?
Discover the creative options of machine embroidery on sleeves, adding personality to your clothing. This guide will show you how to add style to your sleeves using different methods depending on what equipment you have. We will also share versatile styling ideas.
**Ready to roll up your sleeves and stitch your style?**
## Types of Sleeve Embroidery
Sleeve embroidery can jazz up a boring sweatshirt or sweater and add elegance to a crisp cotton shirt.
You can place your embroidery design virtually everywhere, depending on the size and type. Still, considering how those viewing them will perceive them is best.

If you have team spirit, you can place your favorite mascot on the outside shoulder, almost like a badge of honor. A longer saying or bigger letters can run down your arm vertically or horizontally.
If you have a meaningful quote or name (such as your kids or pets) you want to see all day while you work, place it on the inner forearm. You can also place a smaller logo or monogram near or on the cuff. Personalized sweatshirts also make great gift ideas!

Placement is up to you; you can embroider on virtually every area of the sleeve.
### Upper Sleeve Embroidery
Center the upper sleeve on the shoulder seam and let it run down the sleeve. You can align the lettering vertically or horizontally. People often get embroidery on their upper arm, from shoulder to elbow, to show it off on the side.
### Lower Inside Sleeve Embroidery
The orientation of the “inside” sleeve embroidery is between the center line of the sleeve and the seam under your arm. This places it so that you can see it when you look down.
### Lower Sleeve Embroidery
Lower sleeve and upper sleeve placement are the same on the center line of the sleeve.
### Cuff Embroidery
You can directly do cuff embroidery on the cuff or the bottom of the sleeve by the cuff. We will discuss the best way to do these narrower sleeve parts.
## What Do I Need To Embroider On Sleeves
Let’s discuss the equipment you will need to create sleeve embroidery. Sleeves are long and skinny, so having a sleeve hoop is extremely handy if you’re embroidering lots of them. But we have some tricks “up our sleeve” to allow everyone to get great results, should you choose to use regular hoops.
- Seam ripper: great for removing the serged edge of sweatshirts (better than scissors to avoid cutting fabric by mistake).
- Marking chalk.
- Ruler or measuring tape.
- [Embroidery stabilizer](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-use-machine-embroidery-stabilizer/) (use one of the following depending on the method you use).
- No-show mesh
- Sticky stabilizer
- An embroidery hoop (we’ll go over both methods to embroider using the two hoops below).
- Sleeve hoop: long and skinny.
- Regular hoop: great for cuffs and smaller areas; the hoop size depends on the size of the design.
## How To Embroider A Sleeve Tutorial
The design placement on your sleeve can be anywhere.
We’ll discuss three different methods of embroidering on your sleeve below.
### How To Embroider On A Sleeve Using A Sleeve Hoop
Start by finding the center point of your sleeve. We need to know this no matter *where* you place your embroidery.
Lay out your garment folding on the center seam (align with the shoulder and underarm seam).
Mark the center with pins or tape.
Open and flatten the sleeve and, using a ruler, put a mark (with chalk or water-soluble pen) between your two center points.
Turn your garment inside out. Combine medium cutaway stabilizer and no-show mesh. Attach them to your sleeve using temporary adhesive spray. (The cutaway is touching the sleeve fabric).
> *If you don’t have a sleeve hoop, don’t worry! Follow the steps in
> the cuff tutorial below – please note there is sewing involved.*
>
> Author Name
>
> [Tweet](/)
Turn the garment inside out (the stabilizer should stay in place from the spray adhesive) and insert the hoop bottom into the sleeve.
Center the hoop with the markings you made, and apply the top half of the hoop.
Insert your hooped sleeve into your embroidery machine and embroider.
Remove the hoop from your sleeve, and you’re done! That was easy!
These are two examples of what vertical and horizontal embroidery look like.
Don’t have a sleeve hoop? No problem, we can help you with that, too!
### How To Embroider On A Sleeve – Sewing Involved
Sometimes, your embroidery hoop does not fit in your shirt sleeve. Perhaps you have a smaller sweater or bigger hoops. To start [embroidery hooping](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-hoop-machine-embroidery-tutorial/), we will have to open the sleeve so we can get a hoop in – *Please note there will be sewing involved*.
Following the first few steps in the sleeve hoop method above. You will still want to center and outline where you’ll place your design. Use scissors or a seam ripper to remove stitches from the closest area to where you want to embroider.
> *You can easily remove serging by sliding the seam ripper through the stitches on the goodside.*
>
> Author Name
>
> [Tweet](/)
Remember, you do *not* have to remove stitches in the whole arm! You just need a space large enough for your hoop to fit. Sometimes, you may not have to open the cuff.
Print a template of your design to help with proper placement.
Using our hooping station, we placed a piece of no-show mesh stabilizer below the sleeve fabric and hooped it.
Pin your template to your desired location.
Now that you know the exact location for your design make sure your starting needle lines up with the center of your design.
Put your embroidery hoop in your machine and let it stitch!
Now, close up your sleeve.
Fold your sweater so it is inside out. Use clips or pins to hold the seam together, and use your sewing machine (on a straight stitch) or serger to sew the gap shut.
Once you finish, turn your sweatshirt right side out.
### How To Embroider On & Near A Sleeve Cuff
Follow the same centering rules we discussed above.
Flip your sleeve and cut open the part closest to where you’ll embroider the design using scissors or a seam ripper.
> *Remember embroidering a cuff can be thick. Watch out for that inside seam of the cuff, which can be a minimum of 3 layers of heavy material. A half to one inch above the cuff seam is ideal as a rule of thumb. For bigger logos, you can place higher.*
>

> [Tweet](/)
Pin the template of your design in the area you previously marked.
Use a sticky stabilizer and remove the paper to which you want your garment to stick.
Center the design of your template with your machine.
> *Using clips is an easy way to hold the side of your sleeve out of the way.*
>
> Author Name
>
> [Tweet](/)
Remove your template and pin, and let your design start stitching! Carefully watch to ensure that the needle does not hit your clips or sides of the sleeve.
Once you’ve finished embroidering, tear away the remainder of the sticky stabilizer and turn the sleeve inside. Sew the side of your sleeve back together.
Once you finish embroidering, sew the side of your sleeve back together, and voila, you finish!
## Conclusion: What Shirt Sleeve Are You Embroidering First?
Trying new things can be scary, but this tutorial should help you feel more comfortable. Remember these tips for embroidering sleeves.
- Know who is going to view this: you or others? An easy way to gauge is to create a template, place it on the sleeve, and view it in a mirror.
- If opening a sleeve, use a seam ripper to clip the ***top*** stitches of the serged edge.
- When embroidering near the cuff, avoid the cuff and sleeve seam.
- Practice on old garments until you feel comfortable hooping and stitching. When you’re comfortable, move on to your final garment stitches.

### [How To Embroider Napkins Like A Boss | Tutorial & Embroidery Designs](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-embroider-napkins-tutorial/)
**Published:** August 11, 2025
**Author:** Embroidery Legacy
**Content:**
There is nothing more elegant than a beautiful table with a wonderful meal and a crisp, embellished napkin on your lap. Did you know there is nothing easier than embroidering on a napkin?
Let’s talk about creating beautiful heirloom linens for your next event, grand or small!
## Embroidery Placement On Napkins
Placement on a napkin is your choice.
Choose a design that can be placed in the corner.
When folded, the stitching should be prominently displayed.
> *Whatever you choose, make sure you are not just thinking of the napkin as a flat item but imagine it when folded.*
>
> Author Name
>
> [Tweet](/)
This will help you to decide how large to make your stitching.
Here are three possibilities for a corner:
A good rule of thumb is to create a design no larger than ¼ of the folded size. The design may appear small when the napkin is unfolded. Adhering to the 1/4 rule will ensure that the design is not too large design. You also want your guest to have a soft, smooth surface with which to wipe.
You can also embroider in the center or edge to fold your napkin differently.
## Embroidery Designs For Napkins
After you know your napkin and placement, it’s time to choose a design that will look wonderful on your table. Most people will choose monograms or ciphers but remember that flowers, holiday décor, and more are fresh changes!
Some tips to keep in mind when choosing your design:
- **Choose less stitch-intensive designs**– designs with fewer stitches and trims, which create knots and bullet-proof embroidery.
- **Choose a design with a satin stitch**– the stitch should be less than 7 mm. This will reduce the risk of snags and pulls.
- **Less is often more**– when choosing, do not assume that simpler designs will not have a big impact.

## How to Hoop A Napkin
You may be perplexed about how to hoop napkins, but there are a couple of easy ways to secure your fabric.
## Embroidery Stabilizer for Napkins
A cutaway or tearaway stabilizer can leave lumpy backing on the reverse side of your embroidery. We suggest using a washaway stabilizer instead.
> *Tip: trim away unneeded stabilizer and save for making stiffening spray!*
>

>
> [Tweet](/)
## Hooping Napkin Corners for Embroidery
To hoop the napkin’s corner, baste it to a wash-away stabilizer and then hoop it as shown below. This allows you to stitch closer to the edge or float napkins on a wash-away stabilizer.
Remember to secure the napkin so it does not move on the hoop when floating. Create a placement line, then a basting line.
Use pins or painter’s tape; spray embroidery spray works well also on your embroidery machine hoop!
To hoop the center of the napkin, measure from the sides to the middle. Mark a center line in both directions with a wash-away marker.
## Conclusion: Embroider Your Own One-Of-A-Kind Napkins
Time to put this information to use! Start embroidering your decorative napkin, and be sure to share your results with us.
Until we stitch again, happy embroidering!

### [Extend Your Embroidery Machine Lifespan Today with Proper Oiling](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-oil-embroidery-machine/)
**Published:** August 11, 2025
**Author:** Embroidery Legacy
**Content:**
Join us down a slippery slope as we learn about oil in machine embroidery! Oil is necessary for most things, from manufacturing to food to embroidery! It keeps parts moving and reduces friction and wear in our cars, door hinges, and, you guessed it, our embroidery machines!
Learn why and which embroidery machines require oil and which types to avoid to extend the lifespan of your machine. Who doesn’t want to get the best-embroidered results?
## Why Does An Embroidery Machine Need Oil?
All machines, whether embroidery machines or pencil sharpeners, need lubricant. When two touching parts move, friction can damage or heat them, causing warping or distortion.
In manufacturing, there are four kinds of oil or oil-like products.
1. **Grease** is a combination of soap and an oil-based product. The oil lubricates, and the soap emulsifies and helps the oil to remain where you put it.
2. **Oil** lubricates and has various uses, including food, fuel, and more.
3. **Penetrating lubricants** are thin, allowing them to reach into tiny crevices that regular oil might not reach.
4. **Dry lubricants** are solids that can lubricate. The most common is graphite (yes, like the pencil!).
## Do All Embroidery Machines Need Oil?
Surprisingly, not all [embroidery machines](https://embroiderylegacy.com/what-is-the-best-embroidery-machine-for-a-home-business/) need oil! Many embroidery machines have metal parts that need oil, but some have Teflon parts that don’t.
> *This is why we always recommend following your embroidery machine’s manual.*
>
> Author Name
>
> [Tweet](/)
Many machines at the factory have been oiled and will not require more.
## Which Parts Of My Embroidery Machine Require Oiling?
Grease and oil are the only lubricants used in embroidery machines, but oil is the only one you will use yourself. Whether home or commercial, your machine’s gears will already be greased. Only a trained technician or service person should touch it.
Before we go any further… here is the one hard and fast rule you must follow!
Check your manual for instructions on oiling your machine for commercial or home use. Only use the recommended oil.
Let’s discuss the tools you will need.
- Lint cloth: they are similar to those used for computers. Microfiber cloths are great as they are washable and reusable.
- Oiling brush or swab (cotton swab): oiling brushes are short bristle brushes often included with your machine. They allow you to deposit oil without drowning your machine.
- Soft brush: this helps whisk away lint and fuzzies. Brushes for computer keyboards also work great!
- Oil pen: usually included with commercial machines and some home machines.
- Paper towels: help protect work surfaces.
### Where Are Machines Oiled?
Generally speaking, embroidery machines require oil on the main moving parts: the bobbin case, the needle bar, etc. If there are Teflon or nylon parts, those will not require oil since Teflon against Teflon is slick enough.
- Home machines are oiled every one to three months, depending on how heavily they are used.
- Commercial machine oiling goes by hours of operation since they are often used eight to twelve hours a day. A heavily used machine will require some parts oiled daily, some areas weekly, and some monthly. There are generally ports that are marked to remind you.
Commercial machines have all the oil ports labeled, and different parts require lubrication at different intervals. The bobbin, for example, should have a drop of oil each time you put in a new bobbin, but the main shaft requires lubrication less frequently. You’re service technician or user manual will guide you on where and how often to oil.

## How Do I Oil My Embroidery Machine?
Not sure how to oil your machine?
Hey! It happens to us all at one point whether you got a new machines or are [beginner embroiderer](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-for-beginners/). Many of us need guidance; your service center or machine technician are great sources. You can watch videos online, but your machine manufacturer will produce the most helpful ones. Many sewing centers have classes and tutorials if you ask.
Be sure to always follow your manual, but here are the steps *generally* taken to oil a machine:
1. Unplug your machine.
2. Remove the needle, throat plate (if instructed), and anything preventing access to oil points.
3. Using a soft brush, gently brush away any visible lint or fuzzies. Avoid using compressed air as it can push dirt and lint further into the machine, making cleaning difficult. Do ***not*** use a vacuum… this can create static, damaging the electronics on your machine.

4\. Use a pen or brush to oil your machine. Pens are best for commercial machines. Look for marks showing where to put oil drops and how many to use. On a home machine, use your oil brush or the pen (if needed) and put a ***small*** amount of oil in the places indicated.
***More is not better….***
Oil lightly and reapply if necessary rather than drown the area with oil. This will create oil stains on your embroidery.
1. Rotate your machine to deposit oil.
2. Wipe away the remaining oil or any dust dislodged during oiling using a soft cloth or paper towel.
## Oils For Embroidery Machines
### Good Oils
We don’t want to sound like a broken record, but please consult your manual or use the oil that comes with your machine. Any reputable machine company will also have oil for sale should you ever run out.
Sewing machine oil is the recommended type of oil. You should never use these oils.
- WD40- this is a water-displacing lubricant which is short-acting.
- Motor oil – no explanation needed. It is not a motor, don’t use it.
- Salad oil. No.
- Silicone – different than regular oil; it is synthetic and usually used for plastic parts. *Remember that not all plastic parts need lubrication. Use the right type if they do, as some chemicals can melt plastics.*
### Bad Oils
Here is an easy list of don’ts:
- Don’t use non-recommended oil
- Don’t over-oil
- Don’t use solvents or chemicals to clean oil
- Do not purchase a large quantity of oil, regardless of how good the offer may be. Instead, opt for a smaller size and replace it more often.
## Conclusion
Oiling and lubricating your embroidery machine is necessary for being a good embroiderer. Your machine depends on you to keep it running smoothly; oiling is an easy part of your maintenance.
Always read your manual, work safely and cleanly, and get help if unsure. Consult your sewing center or ask your technician to teach you how to maintain your machine properly. It will thank you and repay you by stitching well throughout the years!

**Content:**
Over the holiday season, your house may get a little festive; wreaths, lights, and a big old Christmas tree. But with the holiday decor can also come a hefty price tag. How can you create tasteful Christmas decor while still on a budget?
## Why Create These In-The-Hoop 3D Ornaments
If you’re someone who enjoys decorating for the holidays and has an embroidery machine, well then, you’re in luck! This fun article will teach you how to easily create 3D In-the-Hoop ornament embroidery projects to add that extra special touch to your holiday season.
Personalize these 3D ornaments to go with any room or Christmas tree decor by simply changing the embroidery design, organza, or thread color. Why not add in and experiment with that metallic thread? Your options are endless as to the outcome of your ornament, and you can create multiple ornaments as these don’t take up much time at all! Why waste time going to the store when you can make exactly what you want from the comfort of your own home.
These ITH 3D ornaments make great gifts for your friends or family. Create them as Christmas gifts, give them as party favors on your Christmas table setting as a keepsake, or create a personalized ornament for that new baby’s arrival. There is no better time or excuse to make your own embroidered ornament.
Although these ornaments are great to personalize and give as gifts, the best part is they’re inexpensive! Why not use organza material from your fabric stash at home. Using the thread you already have while finding the perfect ornament embroidery design can help save money in your pocket. Who doesn’t like to have extra cash to spend during the Holiday season (or expand your embroidery or fabric stash)?
> *Don’t forget when creating your In-The-Hoop 3D Ornaments to use designs from a reputable source. Here at Embroidery Legacy, we offer nothing but high-quality In-The-Hoop 3D Ornament embroidery designs. **[Click here to check out our 80+ In-The-Hoop Christmas Project Embroidery Design](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-designs/in-the-hoop/ith-christmas/)**s now.*

## How To Create In-The-Hoop Embroidery Ornaments
Thankfully, although the finished results of creating these designs are quite impressive, creating them is rather simple.
Here’s an easy to follow video tutorial we created a while back if you find watching an easier way to follow along and learn:
Of course, we also have the written instructions for you to follow here.
### Supplies Required For ITH 3D Embroidery Ornaments:
- Wet and Gone stabilizer
- Organza
- Polyester or Metallic Thread
- Soldering Iron (although a good pair of scissors could work too)
- 3D Ornament embroidery design –**[click here to access our high-quality 3D ornaments ](https://embroiderylegacy.com/?s=ornament&post_type=product&type_aws=true&aws_id=1&aws_filter=1&product_count=50)**
> *Tip: A stencil cutter/soldering iron will give you visually better results. However, the smell of burning organza may offend some people or not ideal for those with respiratory issues. In this case, a good pair of scissors will do. Instead of burning the design out of the hoop, you can simply cut it out instead.*

## In-The-Hoop 3D Christmas Ornament Embroidery Tutorial:
**Step 1: Hoop Your Organza and Stabilizer**
With this first step, you’ll want to begin by taking your wet and gone stabilizer and sandwiching it in between two pieces of organza. As John would say, think about it like an oreo cookie, the white stuff goes in the middle. Choose whichever colors of organza you like.
Once this is done, simply hoop your organza and stabilizer. Ensure that it is hooped tightly so nothing moves while being embroidered.
**Step 2: Embroider the Design**
Well, there’s not much to say about this step. Load the design into your machine and embroider away!
**Step 3: Cut out Your Design**
Here’s where you’ll use your soldering iron (or scissors). Keeping your embroidered design secured tightly in the hoop, you’ll next burn (or cut) around the finished design. If you are using a soldering iron, remember not to hold it in one place too long, or it will begin to melt your thread. If you’re embroidering an ornament, you’ll also burn (or cut) through the center areas on the tips of all four ends of the project to create little holes. This is where each end of the design will be tied together to make it into a 3D ornament.
> *Tip: If you can, use polyester or metallic thread instead of rayon. Polyester is a synthetic thread, and because of this, it tends to do better when exposed to heat. Rayon thread will quickly discolor and burn.*

**Step 4: Remove the Wet & Gone Stabilizer**
Next, you’ll quickly run your project under warm water to somewhat remove the wet and gone stabilizer (hence the name wet and gone). This will cause the stabilizer to become slightly transparent, so the white is no longer showing through your design. It will also make your project remain a little starchy and stiff so you can shape your ornament.
**Step 5: Tie Your Project Together (Literally)**
While the project is still somewhat wet and malleable from step 4, turn it upside down, so the bobbin stitches are facing upwards, and then bring all 4 of the tips together and line up the tiny holes you burnt (or cut) out. Next, simply take a piece of ribbon or string and put it through each of the four holes to hold everything together.
That’s all there is to it. Congratulations, you just created your very own personalized embroidery ornament!

Now if you want to see step-by-step written instructions on how to create this project, we, of course, have you covered there too:
**Step 1:** Lay down a piece of Organza fabric. On top of this, place a piece of water-soluble backing (dissolve-away/wash-away). On top of the wash-away, place another Organza fabric piece (think of it like an oreo cookie; the white stuff goes in the middle). You can use the same color Organza for both pieces. Or, for a more creative effect, use two different shades of the same color Organza. Next, hoop all three pieces.
**Step 2:** Place the hoop on your machine and allow it to embroiderer the leaves. Remember to change the bobbin to match the bottom Organza color). Next, remove the hoop from the machine, and while the design is still in the hoop, use a stencil cutter to trace out the petals.
**Step 3:** Repeat the steps above two more times for the larger & smaller petals, remembering to change bobbin color to match the bottom Organza color.

**Step 4:** We are now going to combine all three pieces using a piece of tear-away stabilizer. Begin by hooping the stabilizer by itself, then switch to a pre-wound bobbin and embroider the first placement guide stitches to create an X. Next, line up the hole on the leaves to the X on the placement guide stitches and tape it into place to ensure it does not move. Then proceed to embroider the second placement guide stitch.
**Step 5:** Line up the larger set of petals to the placement guide stitches and tape them into place. Then place your hoop back on your machine and stitch the next set of placement guide stitches.
**Step 6:** Line up the remaining set of small petals to the placement guide stitches and tape them into place. Please note the smaller petals should be offset to the larger petals to give it a more realistic look. Then, place the hoop back on the machine & finish embroidering the center of the sunflower.
**Step 7:** Cover the exposed stitches on the backside of the sunflower with your piece of cork and tape it into place. Remember to change the bobbin to match the color of the cork and then run the finishing stitches. Next, remove all the tape and take the design out of the hoop.
From here, flip the design over and cut off the excess cork material around the stitches. You’ll then tear away the stabilizer.
Nicely done! Your in-the-hoop flower coaster is now in full bloom (I just had to add in one more flower pun).

**Content:**
You walk into a room, and all heads turn to admire the stunning, intricate design embroidered on the back of your jacket. Vibrant colors, precise stitching, and an artistic design make it a masterpiece!
Creating large, attention-grabbing embroidery may seem difficult, but we’ve got the tools to get you great results!
Join us as we discuss the secrets to mastering jacket-back embroidery and answer your common questions. Let’s turn your larger creative visions into wearable works of art!
## **Large Embroidery Designs**
Large designs are created to make full-scale artwork that are soft and have a flexible stitch. This approach means that the stitch types and fills may differ.
In a small-scale design, you might use a tatami fill stitch with a .30 mm spacing, but with the larger fills, you use layers of color to “paint” with a stitch spacing much larger, say, 1.0 mm. Using more space between colors creates smooth blending and color areas without too much density. The lighter density creates a soft, wearable embroidery.
Here is an example of what an area of color blending looks like.
As you can see, it looks light, but when used in an overall design, it looks perfect!
### **Where Can I Find The Best Large Embroidery Designs?**
You want large embroidery designs with incredible detail digitized into them, but they are not bulletproof when stitched.

## **Beginner Tips For Embroidering Large Designs**
We all know stitching out the design is fun, but you must plan properly to save time and materials. Your “action plan” needs several parts before you push that start button. - **Use the correct size design**. We offer our premium designs in several sizes for this reason. Choose the design you want based on the size and placement of the garment you will stitch. We do not recommend resizing more than 10%, as these designs stitch beautifully at their given size.
- **Print out your design template.** Ensure the design and placement are perfect before you start. Printing a copy will allow you to cut it out and place it on the garment to determine if any changes are necessary.
- **Select your thread and see it together.** Each of our PDFs includes thread selections. We only recommend these colors; you can substitute colors to your taste. Lining up your colors together gives you a good visual of how your design will appear.
- **Manage and plan your color changes.** Many larger designs can have 15-20 (or more) colors, we suggest planning how you’ll switch out colors.
- **Use 75/11 sharp-point [needles](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-use-machine-embroidery-needles/).** You do not need a special needle for your stitching—ensure they are in good condition.
- **Use polyester 40-wt [thread](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-threads/) for your designs.** This thread is strong and shiny and will not fray when layering colors. You can use rayon thread, which is less strong and can fray or break.
- **Slow down your machine. [Machine speed](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-set-embroidery-machine-speed/)** is a significant factor in any design but especially for large ones. Slowing it down may take longer, but you get a better result!
- **Jump stitches can be frustrating, but sometimes, they are necessary** to keep things moving and do not affect the outcome. You can always use a pair of snips to remove the jump stitches.
## **Jacket Back Garments For Large Embroidery Designs**
Let’s discuss several types of large-scale embroidery on three types of jackets. Each has unique features to consider.
**1. Denim/Duckcloth**: A heavier jacket with or without lining are very popular, but they need a bit more consideration on placement due: - Seams: Create “road hazards” in stitching. When placing a design, do not place dense details over seams.
- Rivets and embellishments: Beware of these items that can damage your machine.
- Linings: as they can be pretty heavy.
**2. Leather:** You only get one chance to stitch! Leather requires the most planning because you won’t be able to remove stitches as you would with fabric.
Our large designs work well with leather because they are less dense, which helps prevent piercing the leather too much. With some [**embroidery software**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-software/digitizing/), you can add fabric assist features and opt for leather to adjust for leather’s special needs.
Leather can easily damage, so floating, pinning, or using a tack-down stitch is not possible. If you cannot hoop, consider making a fabric window to surround your leather fabric under the hoop, as shown below.
**3. Lightweight or golf jackets**: These are super easy to embroider and often a good starting point for new users. Pick up some from a thrift store and experiment!
> ***A note about jacket linings!** You may decide to open the lining and embroider on the jacket’s back. This technique requires sewing skills. If possible, open the center back seam.*

## **What Stabilizer Do I Use For Jacket Back Embroidery?**
A stabilizer is one of the most important parts of your stitch out. For jacket back embroidery, we suggest using a cutaway stabilizer. It has a fabric-like texture and won’t bunch up like tearaway stabilizers.

Cutaway stabilizer fibers shift slightly to accommodate stitches, and there is less distortion. No-show mesh can be a bit too light, and you risk your overall design shrinking and having registration problems.
## **Embroidery Design Placement on Jacket Back**
Here is a rule of thumb for placement: - Men’s jackets: 10″ below top of jacket
- Women’s jackets: 9-10″ below top of jacket
- Kids jackets: 5-7″ below top of jacket
## **Hooping Your Jacket Back Embroidery Designs**
We suggest hooping rather than floating a large design to ensure your garment is secure and prevents distortion. Big designs take longer to stitch, sometimes hours. If they float, the constant movement can cause registration problems.
We’ll use the collar as a landmark for measuring, and you can mark the center with a tailor’s chalk, wash-away marker, or pins.
Here are the steps:
**Step 1:** Print your design; the red lines are your placement marks.
**Step 2:** Lay out your jacket on a flat surface. Using a ruler, mark the center of the back collar.
**Step 3:** Mark the vertical and horizontal lines for your placement guide. Since we’re embroidering a men’s jacket, we’ll center our design 10 inches from the collar.
**Step 4:** Center the design using the lines you marked. We’re doing this so we can see how the placement looks. The vertical mark is the most important, and you can adjust the design up or down to suit your taste.
**Step 5:** Once your center point is set, we’ll put our stabilizer.
**Step 6:** Using pins mark your horizontals and verticals.
**Step 7:** Turn your jacket inside out (you should see your pins on the inside).
**Step 8:** Place your stabilizer on the inside of your jacket. If desired, mark horizontals and verticals on the stabilizer with your marking tool.
**Step 9:** Line up your stabilizer and use *temporary* embroidery spray to secure the inside.
**Step 10:** Until you have your garment hooped, you can pin the corners.
**Step 11:** Turn your garment right side out and hoop using a flat surface or a hooping station.
**Step 12:** Embroider on your machine!

### [Mastering Custom Embroidered Bucket Hats: A Beginner’s Guide](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-embroider-bucket-hats/)
**Published:** August 11, 2025
**Author:** Embroidery Legacy
**Content:**
Bucket and boonie hats have been worn by fishermen and gardeners for years, and now they’re a trendy fashion item! These accessories are incredibly versatile and have lots of room for embroidery! With a lot fewer pitfalls than baseball caps, add this to your “to-do” embroidery list.
Our easy step-by-step guide has just what you need to transform your bucket hat into a one-of-a-kind embroidered piece. We’ve got some great tips and tricks to make the process a breeze and make them stand out.
Bucket hats are easier to embroider than caps. You can do them on a flatbed hoop, magnetic, or cap driver.
Your bucket hats are about to become your favorite canvas – let’s embroider them together!
## Bucket Hat Embroidery Designs
Bucket hats are *not* heavily stabilized, which is great because they can be easily embroidered.
You can embroider anywhere on a bucket hat, but in this article, we’ll focus on the front crown and brim.
Most designs stitch great, even on the brim, because they make most of these hats from cotton. Please ensure the brim is created with soft fabric before embroidering.
> *Remember, you should not attempt to embroider on the brim of a hat cap. This will damage your embroidery machine! Check out our [**Guide to Embroider Hats and Caps**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-embroider-hats-caps-tutorial/) to learn more.*

Because bucket hats have smaller front crowns, the design you embroider should not be larger than 2.5 inches tall or exceed 4 inches wide.
> *Check out our 30,000+ high quality [**embroidery designs**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-designs/), perfect for embellishing your next project! Or, if you’d like to create your own embroidery design for your hat, check out our [**Design Doodler**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-software/design-doodler/) which easily converts doodles into machine-ready embroidery designs, all without digitizing!*

Though the vertical part of the bucket hat appears straight, it is not. Adjust your design if you’d like to fit this slight curve.
If you use letters, curve them if possible.

## Materials To Embroider A Bucket Hat
- [**Stabilizer**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-use-machine-embroidery-stabilizer/): We suggest using a medium-weight cutaway, but you can use any type that works for you. Just remember that you need to stabilize your work so it wears well.
- Scissors
- [**Temporary embroidery spray**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-use-machine-embroidery-adhesive-sprays/)
- Tape to secure your hat
- Ruler
- Pins
- Fabric marker (optional)
- [**Embroidery software**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-software/digitizing/) (only required if you want to edit your embroidery designs to curve perfectly on the brim of your hat)

## How To Hoop A Bucket Hat For Embroidery
You can hoop a bucket hat on a cap driver for a multi-needle machine in the same fashion as you would a cap. Since not everyone has a cap frame, we’ll focus on how to hoop these by “floating” on the stabilizer.
You will want to choose a firm stabilizer, like a medium tearaway or sticky stabilizer.
Start by hooping your piece of stabilizer.
Pin the center of your bucket hat in the hoop. You can find the center point by folding it in half.
Mark the center point.
> *We use a washable marker for our demonstration. You can use a pin instead of washing the marker off your hat.*

Line up your points to mark a center line on the hat.
Line up your hat brim’s center point with the hoop’s center point and pin near the seam. Align the top center point and pin to the hooped stabilizer.
## How To Embroider A Bucket Hat Brim
Lay your hat flat and take a picture of the brim curve. You’ll use this to create a placement line for perfect results.
> *When you take a picture of your hat, position the camera so it’s parallel to the surface the hat is on.*

Insert the picture into your **[digitizing software](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-software/digitizing/)** and digitize a line along the edge of the brim (your placement line). Add the objects you want to your hat brim, and prepare to embroider!
Hoop your stabilizer and stitch the placement line. Remove your hoop from the machine.
Spray your stabilizer with a light spray of temporary embroidery spray.
Align the bucket hat along the placement line and pin it in place. Secure the remaining fabric of the hat using tape, pins, or clips to hold it away from the embroidery machine’s touch.
Place your hoop in the machine and embroider!
Do you want to embroider on the front crown of the bucket hat? Here’s how you do it…
## How To Embroider A Bucket Hat
Fold the sweatband towards the brim of the hat. Secure it with a pin. This will prevent it from coming into contact with the machine.
Turn it right side out and pin the center bottom and top of the hat side on your hoop (align the center line with the center of your hoop).
Fold the hat over to expose the stabilizer. Lightly use a temporary adhesive spray to spray the hat fabric to the stabilizer. Do the same for the other side.
Smooth out the hat, but remember to let the fabric curve naturally.
Secure the excess fabric close to the hoop using pins, clips, or tape to prevent the machine from embroidering it.
Place your hoop in the machine (be sure to trace or check correct placement), and begin to embroidery. Watch the machine carefully to ensure the fabric is not close to the needles or your presser foot.
After you finish stitching your design, voila, you have finished your personalized bucket hat!
## Create Your Own Embroidered Bucket Hat
For those of you who like a challenge, why not create one from scratch? Many easy sewing patterns are available online. You can use a picture of your pattern in embroidery software to make a placement line for a custom bucket hat.
Insert your artwork inside those lines and embroider before you put the hat together.
You can create small designs or multi hoop if you have smaller hoops. Here is a truly unique hat made from an old throw pillow. What are you going to revamp?
## Conclusion
Bucket hats are a fun way to personalize your style. Using the floating method allows multi- and single-needle embroidery machine users to embroider.
Here are a few important tips to remember:
- Pin the sweatband away from the front crown when embroidering.
- Make sure to smooth the lining and the hat fabric.
- Revise your design accordingly because of the curved brim.
- When embroidering, ensure the hat material isn’t in the way of the machine presser foot or needles.
You can transform a basic hat into a unique accessory that reflects your personal style with practice and creativity. Give it a try, and we can’t wait to see your results.

### [How To Organize Embroidery Designs](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-organize-embroidery-designs/)
**Published:** August 11, 2025
**Author:** Bethany Deer
**Content:**
Have you ever found yourself searching everywhere on your computer for that perfect embroidery design you downloaded or created yourself months ago? The one you could have sworn was right on your desktop, but now you have no idea where it might be? This is a story most embroiderers know all too familiarly. You download a design only to misplace it within the maze that is your computer files. Thankfully we’ve got some sure-proof tips that will make organizing your embroidery designs a walk in the park.
> *Organizing your embroidery designs will give you the peace of mind of knowing that your files are in a safe and secure place and make finding your designs faster and easier than ever before.*

## Downloading Embroidery Designs
Now before we dive into the article, it’s crucial we note that for our computer’s safety and our online protection, you should ONLY purchase/download embroidery designs from reputable websites. The last thing you would want to do is download a virus to your PC or run a design that will cause problems on your machine. We highly recommend you check out the [**Legacy Design Club**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/design-club/) to ensure quality embroidery designs and downloads every time. [**Click here to learn more about the Club** ](https://embroiderylegacy.com/design-club/)and why our members love it so much!
After finding a reputable website to download your designs from, and the design you want to download, press the download button on the page. It will download directly to your “Download” folder on your computer. Now there’s a good chance most of your previous embroidery designs may already be in your downloads folder. If this is the case, don’t worry! We can always go back and organize them as well.
After finding the recently downloaded design, we can drag and drop the design file anywhere on our computer! I would recommend creating new file folders to save your designs.
## Creating File Folders For Embroidery Designs
You want to get into the habit of adding any downloaded designs to a file folder as soon as we download it or adding any design we create to these folders. Just be sure you know where you’re exporting the designs you create from your software to. You can write yourself a sticky note and attach it to your computer area as a reminder to do these things right away. These file folders will then become the default location for your embroidery designs.
If you’re downloading from our Embroidery Legacy website, double click on the .ZIP file that downloads. This will then open up all included sizes of the design, which will already be in folders for you.
Now that we know where our designs are downloaded to on our computer or where we saved our own designs, we can organize them by creating file folders. To create a file folder, simply right-click in any blank area on your desktop, then select new file folder and create a name for it. After you have created the folder you can then drag and drop the downloaded design into that folder. Keep in mind; you can organize these designs however you see fit! Here are a few of our suggestions:
- **Naming the folder by website:** If you have a favorite design website, or maybe even a few, you could try naming your file folders after the site name.
For example, if you were to download a design from our website, you could create a” “Legacy Design Club” folder by following the instructions in the step above. To rename the folder, simply right-click on the file and press” “rename” or double-click right over the text to edit. Naming the folders by site name is a good option if you find some sites have higher quality than others. We take pride in ensuring every design on our site is digitized properly to run smoothly on your machine from start to finish.**[ Click here to check out our top quality embroidery designs. ](https://embroiderylegacy.com/new-embroidery-design-releases/)**
- **Naming the folder by category:** Naming your file folder by category is a great way to organize your files.
Are you looking for a summer embroidery design? Create a file folder, rename it as you see fit, in this case, “Summer,” and start adding any summer-themed designs you download to that folder. Looking for a Christmas design? You guessed it, the same thing! Organizing our designs in this fashion can save you tons of time, plus most design sites tell you which category you’re downloading from! **[Click here to check out all 46 of our embroidery design categories. ](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-designs/)**
- Folders within folders: **Another great thing about using file folders is you can create other folders within a folder! Say you don’t want to see all your design** folders on your desktop, create an “Embroidery Design” folder and start adding your category folders for a nice organized feel.
Give this method a try, and I’m sure you’ll be surprised by how quickly you’ll be able to find your previously downloaded designs the next time you lose one!

## Renaming Design Files For Embroidery Designs
Another great way to ensure your designs will be easy to find and well organized is by renaming the files you download.
**Please note:** do not change the design format at the end of the design name. For example, if you downloaded this design called “C-3009TIGERPROWL\_L.DST” you would not want to remove the “.DST” from the end as this is how your machine reads the file format! You could rename the design as “TIGERPROWL\_L.DST” and add it to your animal category folder.
Another reason why this is a great way to organize your designs is the designs will show up easier when using your computer’s search function.
## USB Flash Drive/Hard Drive Disk For Storing Embroidery Designs
A USB flash drive is a data storage device (aka embroidery design storage device in our world) with a USB interface. It is typically removable, rewritable so you can add any files to it, and generally is a much smaller space than a hard drive. These are a great option as you can plug these directly into most embroidery machines, making finding your designs on your computer or machine walk in the park.
On the other hand, a hard drive is an electromechanical data storage device that also stores and retrieves Digital data. These usually have much more space than the typical USB flash drive. They’re great if you have a huge design stash! Plus, you can plug them into any computer! So no more worrying about losing all your designs if your computer were ever to crash. Please remember it’s always a good idea to back up your files to an extra drive/USB every so often. Accidents happen, so it’s always good to have a spare!
This is also a great option if you have limited space on your computer and need to save your designs elsewhere, as you can drag the designs off of your computer and onto a hard drive for later use.
## Finding Quality Embroidery Designs
As mentioned earlier, we only recommend downloading from reputable design companies for your computer and machine safety. Here are a few ways to tell if a design company is reputable:
- **Word of mouth:** I’m sure some of your favorite foods are because someone recommended them to you at some point in your life! The same goes for embroidery designs. If you hear someone raving about a site’s design quality at your local store or online in a **[Facebook group](https://www.facebook.com/groups/EmbroideryLegacy/)**, there’s a good chance it will be a good place to start. Who doesn’t love it when our embroidery friends share a design website with us that blows our socks off! **[Click here to see what our club members have had to say about their membership](https://embroiderylegacy.com/design-club/)**.
- **Test stitch outs:** Have you ever found what looks like the perfect design on screen, but when it stitches out, it’s an absolute disaster? It’s always a good idea to go with the “dipping our toes in the water” method. Give a design or a few designs a try before you spend tons of your hard-earned money on designs that may or may not stitch out well. We offer our **[Legacy Design Kit](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-software/design-doodler/free-designs-041575/)** for this reason exactly, so you can test the quality of our designs before you commit to purchasing. We want our members to have peace of mind knowing they’re downloading the highest quality designs available online.
- **About Us Section:** when downloading from a new website, a good sign is an “About Section” on the website. This gives you more insight into who is involved with the site and exactly what it does. It should provide a good reflection of the company purpose and personality. **[Check out our About Us section here to learn about our history in the embroidery industry and why we create the best quality embroidery designs available. ](https://embroiderylegacy.com/about-us/)**
- **Social Media:** We like to consider social media the “heartbeat” of a business in the current age of the internet. It lets us know that the company is still alive and moving! **[Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/johndeersembroiderylegacy)**, **[Instagram ](https://www.instagram.com/embroiderylegacy/)**or **[Facebook ](https://www.facebook.com/JohnDeerEmbroidery)**pages for companies are great ways to see new designs, products and if the company is still active!
## Conclusion: Organizing Embroidery Designs Makes Life Easier
There we have it. You now know how to organize your embroidery files for smooth sailing! Whether it be creating custom folders based on websites you download from, design categories, or renaming our designs for an easier search function, you’ll be ready to avoid losing your designs moving forward.
Plus, we know how to save our designs onto external drives to save space and make transferring designs easy, and we have some insightful tips for finding reputable design websites.

## Bucket Hat Embroidery Tutorial
*Since we will sew on a flat surface and a bucket hat is round, we need to adjust the hooping for single-needle machines. Unlike regular flat items that are hooped, we will float the bucket hat.*
**Step 1:** Hoop your tacky-back tear-away stabilizer with the paper side upward, and ensure the hoop is tight
**Step 2:** Using a ruler, press down to create a scored line on one side of your stabilizer with a pin. Continue with all four sides until you make a square. (Make the square bigger than your chosen design file size.)
**Step 3:** You should now easily be able to pick up a corner and start peeling the paper off of the stabilizer.
**Step 4:** You now have a sticky area that will hold your hat until you continue stitching.
**Step 5:** Cut out your design template and place it on your hat properly. Pin the template in place.
*The center of your bucket hat is on the opposite side of the tag and in the center of the two side seams. Try folding the hat in half to get a center line. Place a pin there to mark the center.*
**Step 6:** Place your hoop with your stabilizer into your machine. Adjust the needle and find the placement on the stabilizer for the center of your design to stitch.
**Step 7:** Take your hat and folder over the inner “band” of the hat to prevent any stitching in this area.
**Step 8:** Hold that inner band towards the brim as you slide your bucket hat under the needle on your machine. Hold the material out of the way of the space you will be embroidering on so you get a flat surface. The printed template pinned to your hat will be your placement guide.
*Ensure everything is as flat as possible for the best-embroidered results and that the inner “band” is still out of the way.*
**Step 9:** Drop your needle down and adjust it to the center of the template.
Remove the pins, paper template, and any buckles in the fabric.
**Step 10:** Start stitching your basting stitch (if you choose to add it) and embroidery design.
**Step 11:** After your design has finished stitching, remove the hoop from your machine. Turn the hoop over and remove the bobbin stitches from the basting stitch.
**Step 12:** Tear away your hat from the stabilizer.
**Step 13:** Remove any loose threads from your design.
Your embroidered bucket hat is finished and ready to hit the beach!
Now that you know the basics of embroidering a bucket hat, you can make stylish, personalized accessories! With the right stabilizer, proper hooping, and attention to design placement, you can turn any hat into a one-of-a-kind piece. Don’t be afraid to get creative—experiment with colors, designs, and patterns to make something uniquely yours. Happy stitching!

### [How to Embroider Personalized Beanie Hats in 7 Easy Steps](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-embroider-beanie-hats/)
**Published:** August 11, 2025
**Author:** Embroidery Legacy
**Content:**
Beanie hats are useful in cold weather and winter fashion, but have you considered using them to show your creativity?
You can be creative and personalize your beanie hat with machine embroidery, giving you many options.
In this article, we will give you helpful advice and guide you on how to get the best embroidery results. Embroidering a plain beanie hat into a stylish statement piece is easier than you think!
## How To Embroider A Custom Beanie
When asking about embroidering on a beanie, you’re really asking *how* to embroider on fleece or knit.
Knit beanies are stretchy and soft but can be difficult to embroider because of the ribbed knit. They are knitted in a circle, creating a tube and gathering at the top. Usually, knitted hats are thicker than fleece, so you need to prepare them to embroider on a stable base carefully.
Fleece caps are made and sewn together to have at least one seam, making placement more difficult.
There are a few things to consider when embroidering and creating custom beanies:
1. It is very important to mark the “up” side before you go near a hoop!
2. Since beanies have stretch, you must stretch them very slightly before stitching. When you wear the cap, the stretch under the design is the same as the stretch on your head. The beanie may seem strange when not worn, but it becomes perfect when you put it on.
> *Although it’s tricky, do NOT stretch your hat too much during hooping, as this will distort the design & hat.*

> *The left beanie is how a well-sewn beanie will look when not worn. The ribs will look warped. When worn, the cap stretches out, and the ribs lay neatly on a person’s head!*

3\. Here is the ***most important point….*** To make the cap look right, turn it inside out and sew the design ***facing up toward***s ***the edge***.
### Digitizing For A Beanie Hat
Using a tatami stitch with a spacing of approximately 1.2 mm is a great method for success on beanies! When it’s color-matched with the beanie, it creates a stable platform for stitching.
### Adding Embroidery Techniques To Your Beanie
Why not add some sparkle and texture to make a custom embroidered beanie?
You can give your stitching a unique background or a 3D texture using an applique technique. Here are some suggestions:
- [**Magic sparkle sheets**](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00Z3N9W62?linkCode=ssc&tag=onamzthedeers-20&creativeASIN=B00Z3N9W62&asc_item-id=amzn1.ideas.1RK0DV0RZME7H&ref_=aip_sf_list_spv_ofs_mixed_d_asin) under your knockdown stitch
> *Because caps are fluffy, try sticking a sparkle sheet on the stabilizer and treat it like an applique! It has more stability and a great stitching surface.*

- Puffy Foam or [**Puff Stuff**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/product/3d-embroidery-puff-stuff/) to create a 3D effect.
> *Remember that Puffy Foam does require special digitizing, but Puff Stuff does not require any design adjustments.*

### Embroidery Designs For Beanies
Designs for beanies can range from lettering to images. When choosing designs, here are some suggestions:
- Keep your designs smaller, no more than 2-2.5 inches
- Choose less dense designs
- Avoid choosing a design with fine lines as they sink into the knit fabric. If you must use thin lines, choose the triple-running stitch.

### Hooping vs. Floating On Beanie Hats
This is a never-ending discussion! Hooping holds fabric more securely, but floating, for some, can be easier. Since beanies are smaller, they work fine with floating.
[**Mighty Hoops**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/mighty-hoops/) are a quick and easy way to work on beanies! With their strong magnetic hold and precise alignment, these magnetic embroidery hoops make hooping beanies and toques a breeze.

### Stabilizer For Beanie Hats
Use a cutaway stabilizer, as the back side won’t be visible. But a heavier washaway stabilizer can also be effective.
Additionally, you can use a water-soluble topper to lift the stitching on top of the beanie knit.
> *With so many kinds of stabilizers, it can be hard to decide which one to use. Check out our [**complete embroidery stabilizer guide**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-use-machine-embroidery-stabilizer/) to help you get the best results on your next embroidery project.*

### Thread For Beanies
Generally speaking, any thread will work well, but metallics *can* snag on the fibers of the knit. Don’t forget to get creative with your thread colors!

## How To Machine Embroider A Beanie Hat
Okay, folks, here we are, the beanie tutorial!
**Step 1:** To avoid confusion, we will indicate which side of the beanie will be visible when worn on the head.
**Step 2:** Mark the center where you want to embroider your design (we use a pin).
**Step 3:** Turn the beanie inside out.
**Step 4:** Tape your stabilizer to your hoop to ensure it won’t move when you pull the beanie over it.
**Step 5:** Lightly spray some adhesive spray onto the stabilizer and adhere to the beanie.
**Step 6:** Hoop your beanie and stabilizer. Remove the center pin if you used one.
> *Remember above we discussed the stretchiness of beanies. Since they stretch out slightly when worn you must simulate that in the hoop. Very slightly stretch the cap. It will look a bit off when it comes out of the hoop but when worn will look awesome!!*

**Step 7:** Place your hoop in your embroidery machine and start embroidering!

## Conclusion
Beanies sound really complicated and confusing, but as you’ve just read, they are easier than you think! With a little practice, you will be a beanie master in no time.
Remember this: sew the cap ***inside out, aligning the pattern up to the edge of the beanie!*** Follow this rule to succeed every time.

### [Understanding Machine Embroidery File Formats](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-machine-embroidery-file-formats/)
**Published:** August 11, 2025
**Author:** John Deer
**Content:**
**This complete guide covers everything you need to know about machine embroidery file formats.** It’ll teach you which file format you need for your embroidery machine and also dive into some essential knowledge that EVERY embroiderer should know by covering the 3 main types of embroidery files formats:
- Expanded file formats
- Machine file formats
- Native file formats
## What Are Embroidery File Formats?
Embroidery file formats are how an embroidery design is saved to be stitched out on a specific embroidery machine brand. Certain embroidery machine brands (such as Brother or Bernina) require different embroidery design file formats (such as PES. or ART.). Simply put:

Make sense? If not, let me try to break it down.
With computers, we’re all familiar that there are PC computers & Mac computers. As you well know, specific programs and files are created to only run on PC, while specific files are created to only run on Mac. In other words, certain programs & files are proprietary towards either a PC or Mac-based operating system. They only run on one or the other. The same thing goes with embroidery file formats. A certain embroidery file format (example: PES.) is proprietary towards a distinct embroidery machine brand (example: Brother)
## How Embroidery File Formats Have Evolved
At the beginning of my career, there was only a stitch. That stitch made a running stitch, a satin stitch, and then a fill stitch. It all started with a single stitch. That was over 35 years ago, and I must admit much has changed since I began my career as a manual pantograph puncher.
Since those early days, I’ve seen the embroidery industry evolve incredibly. From manually placing stitches, to paper tape readers, to 5 ¼ floppies, and finally, to the world we now live in where all our data is magically stored in an imaginary cloud.
In the early days of embroidery automation, Schiffli looms were run by reading Jacquard paper tapes. Those tapes were the first embroidery file format, and just like today, they worked within a mathematical foundation. The “automat” at the end of the loom fed the tape through its reader. Much like old paper tape music boxes, the reader consisted of pins that would release through the holes on the paper tape and give the machine commands. I would move X or Y (direction), initiate machine functions like needles in or needle out, slow speed or fast speed, dull plate in or out, and a stop/color change command. In many ways, our modern machines work in a very similar way.
*(Schiffli Embroidery Machine – what I learned to digitize on)*
*(Jacquard Paper Tape)*
I can remember when I had to learn how to read Jacquard and then eight-channel tapes in the early Tajima days (the 1980s). It’s important to remember that no designs appeared on computer screens with editing capabilities in those early days. Instead, I had to learn how to edit designs while reading paper tapes. While unwinding the tape, you’d know to look for familiar patterns for running, satin, and fill stitches. Color changes and jump commands had fixed commands, and by piecing all of that together, you would learn to read your way through the design you digitized.
If an error was found, you’d need to cut out the tape section with the error, re-punch that section, and then splice the design back together. Usually, you prayed that everything would line up correctly as you wouldn’t necessarily find your error until you ran it on the machine. To be honest, in those days, I never edited a design that was created by someone else. Understandably, the person who made the design was the one who could most easily correct it, as much of the process was remembering what you did in the first place. You’d almost have memory recall as you unwound the tapes, seeing the commands and patterns.
*(Converting Jacquard to 8 channel)*
*(Tajima Machine)*
## 1- Expanded File Formats
Some of the first expanded formats I used were .dst/Tajima and .exp/Melco formats. These are still in existence today, and almost every embroidery machine, whether in the commercial or home markets, will read one of these two formats. We still supply both these formats when we convert our designs for download (we have [**close to 30,000 embroidery designs available on our site, click here to browse our designs**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-designs/)).
The reason why is that they are what I like the call the written in stone formats. While in the conversion process, they rarely, if ever, get corrupted from the original. Like the originals, they are simply x and y movements and commands. When I convert from my Native file format to a Home format, I notice that there may be a corrupted area. A patterned motif fill looks perfect on-screen but then somehow changes when it embroiders on the actual machine! There are many variables when looking for specific errors, so I always suggest going to the expanded .dst or .exp file.
> ***These expanded embroidery formats don’t mess up; what you see is
> what you will get, which is the main reason why most people don’t like to use them! They are the smallest embroidery files in regards to data size. Because they only see stitches and commands, they don’t even recognize thread colors.***

These files will always set to your machine/software’s default colors, so your pink pigs might default to green if it is the first default color on your machine or within your software program.
## 2- Machine File Formats
Sixteen years ago, when I began my crossover as an educator in the commercial industry to the home industry, I must admit I was just a little overwhelmed. After learning a dozen programs commercially, the home market had a couple dozen more to digest. Most confusing was all the different file formats.
Commercially when we created and sold a digitized design, we had our software’s native format and then gave the customer that (if they owned the same program) or a .dst/.exp format, and that was it! The home industry had a native format for each program and then machine formats in varying versions for all the different machine brands. I went from providing at the most three formats to creating what I call the Top Eleven.
> ***This is what my list looks like now .emb, .dst, .exp, .art, .hus, .jef, .pes, .shv, .vip, .vp3, .xxx.***

### Here is a list that should help you figure out which embroidery file format you need for your type of embroidery machine:
(Please keep in mind there are many more than listed below)
**Machine Brand** **Embroidery File Format**
Janome : JEF.
Bernina : ART.
Husqvarna / Viking : HUS. & VP3. & VIP
Brother / Babylock / Deco : PES / PEC
Singer : XXX
Pfaff : PCD / PCM / PCS
Tajima : DST
Melco / Bravo : EXP
I have to use four different programs to ensure the best conversions for the files we post for download. I’m so paranoid about conversions that I don’t delegate what should seemingly be a simple task to anyone. I still do every design conversion. Yes, I might be a bit of a control freak, but in my defense, but I know what to look for with regards to all the little things that can go wrong when converting designs. I want to be as sure as humanly possible that the conversions are correct when posted. It would be far too costly to run a physical sample of every design eleven times, so it’s best to remain paranoid.

In the early days of transitioning from the commercial to home markets, I had to deal with one very unhappy customer. The reason being, she called our toll-free number complaining because the design pack called Red Roses she purchased at an event was showing up on her machine as yellow roses, not red. She insisted that she did not like yellow roses. She only liked red roses and demanded that we make them red, or she wanted a refund. I must admit that I was just a little perplexed at her demand.
As I did not come from the home market’s colorful world, we would simply choose a red thread in the commercial market, and the problem would seemingly be solved. I was eventually able to calm her down and convince her to change her machine’s thread color. Although she did put up a good fight, I still smile when thinking back on that conversation.
### Why are there so many types of machine file formats?
> ***Unfortunately, the different embroidery machine brands available in
> the embroidery industry today don’t exactly play well together.
> Different brands want to be unique and have their own embroidery file format. Why? Because it creates brand loyalty and makes you less willing to switch machine brands in the future.***

Think about it this way; if you were to spend five years building a database of a couple of thousand PES. embroidery designs for your Brother embroidery machine, you would likely not want to get a Janome machine down the line as your old PES. designs wouldn’t run on your new Janome machine. Reason being? Janome embroidery machines use JEF. embroidery file formats, not PES. Smart, isn’t it?
For this reason, if you ever switch machine brands, we provide you with all the main embroidery file formats at once when you download any of our [**Embroidery Legacy** ](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-designs/)[**embroidery designs**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-designs/).
### Why are there so many versions of machine file formats?
Much like anything technology-based, new “updates” are continuously released to make your user experience better. Just as apps are continually updated to perform better on newer phones, embroidery file formats are continually updated to perform better with newer embroidery machines.
As a general rule of thumb, most embroidery machines will still run older versions of their machine file format. For example, a brand new Brother machine would still be able to run .PES designs saved in older versions. If you’re looking to give away or sell a design you created in your embroidery software, using an older file format rather than the newest one would likely be the safest best bet. This would ensure people with older machines can still run your design file.
## 3- Native File Formats
> ***Native file formats are the formats created within whatever embroidery/digitizing software you own. Many of these formats (depending on the program) cannot be read in any embroidery machine; they are specific to and created within the software program. After creating a design in your embroidery software program as a native file format, you often must then export it to a machine file format to be read/used on your embroidery machine.***

People will often import a .pes file into their software and then save it as the software native format, which is not a true native file. It has been converted, and some of the original data may have been lost in translation.
To further explain, it’s like the difference between a raster and vector art file. A raster file, for example, is like a .png file and has a defined resolution; it could be a low or high dpi (dots per inch). If it’s high, the artwork will remain clean when zooming. If it’s a low dpi the image will become a blurred staircase when zooming. The higher the resolution, the clearer the image, the larger the file.
Vector art files, which are often created in Corel or Illustrator, are made up of nodes, not dots per inch. An arch might consist of only three nodes, and whether you put it on a matchbook cover or a billboard, the artwork will always be the same, perfect! You can convert a .png file to a vector file; the software will look at the arch and automatically define the shape. But it won’t do it using only three nodes. It might put in twenty to define the same curve.
Our embroidery software works much in the same way. We have our native file formats created within the software using the original node and properties you chose. If you want to make changes or resize a design, it will always be faster and give better results using the native format over an expanded machine format.
I remember over 30 years ago, the first Native format I used was called Melco .cnd. It was my first board-based system where I didn’t have to create stitches one at a time. The board, called a Digitrac, consisted of a pad that had marks and function keys. Mark 1 was the start of an object, mark 2 was a continuation of the object, and then you move point-counterpoint to define the object and create stitches. Mark 3 had to be perfectly placed with the center radius between your mark 2 to create a curve.
Confusing by today’s standards, but I can assure you it was a miracle at the time! I still remember seeing an embroidery design appear on a computer screen for the first time. My eyes were like saucers, I’m sure! The ability to move a single stitch with a trackball was more than I ever could have imagined.
Today we have intelligent and easy-to-use software available that automatically improves the running ability and stitch quality of designs.
All I can say is we sure have come along way from where my family started in 1958, and I’m so excited to see what is to come!
## Can I Edit Finished Embroidery Files?
Yes, you can certainly edit/adjust finished embroidery files within almost any format. One thing to remember though, is that if you want to edit or resize a file, you will always have the best result when using the format native to the software you use.
## Can I Convert Between Different Types Of Embroidery File Formats?
> ***Yes, you can convert embroidery file formats from one to another. Although most times, the process is not perfect.***

> [Tweet](/)
Keep in mind that with some conversions, information can get lost throughout the process. Think about it like a game of broken telephone or translating between two different languages. If I told a translator something particular in English, chances are it wouldn’t come out exactly the same when being “converted” into French. Here are a few notes to keep in mind when converting file formats:
- It is often best to convert a native file format (software-specific) into a machine file format (embroidery machine-specific).
- When converting an expanded file format into a machine file format, color information will still be missing.
- Converting between different machine file formats (for example from .PES to .JEF) will often damage your design’s integrity.

## Conclusion: 3 Main Types of Embroidery File Formats
I know we went over a lot, but the main take away for this article is that there are three main types of embroidery file formats:
- **Expanded File Formats:** These formats are commercial embroidery machine formats such as .dst and .exp. They are the smallest files in size and mainly consist of simple x and y movements and commands for your embroidery machine to follow. They also do not retain color information.
- **Machine File Formats:** These file formats are specific towards different embroidery machine brands and tell your machine the commands necissary to embroider designs. They include .jef, .art, .hus, .vp3, .vip, .pes, .pec, .xxx, .pcd, etc.
- **Native File Formats:** These file formats can not be read by any embroidery machine but can be read and written by embroidery software. These are the best “working files” to edit a design with and are later converted into a machine or expanded file formats to run on your machine.
I hope this article has helped you to better understand the confusing world of machine embroidery file formats. Although there is a lot to grasp at once, the nice thing is that there really are only three main types of embroidery machine formats.

### [How To Remove Water Soluble Embroidery Stabilizer Topping](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-use-water-soluble-embroidery-stabilizer-topping-solvy/)
**Published:** August 11, 2025
**Author:** Embroidery Legacy
**Content:**
As the name suggests, water soluble topping should be removed by using water. But is it really that easy?
It certainly is! But the tricky part is how to remove it from those hard to reach spaces or small holes in your lettering or designs. Continue reading to find out our cheap, easy secret to remove water soluble topping from those hard to get places.
## What Is Water Soluble Embroidery Stabilizer Topping or Solvy?
If you have some embroidery experience, you know how important it is to include a stabilizer when stitching your embroidery designs. Different stabilizers have different uses. Check out our [**Complete Guide to Machine Embroidery Stabilizers**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-use-machine-embroidery-stabilizer/) by [**clicking here**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-use-machine-embroidery-stabilizer/). You’ve most likely heard of water soluble topping, also known by its trade name “solvy.” If you don’t know what water soluble toppings is, you’re going to want to add it to your embroidery stash!

Water soluble embroidery stabilizer topping (or WST for short) is put on anything with a high nap (thicker fabrics), including terry cloth, golf shirts, fleece, and other textured materials. Want to learn more about fabric categories and how and when to use them? [**Click here**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-use-main-machine-embroidery-fabrics/) to learn about **[The 3 Main Fabrics Used In Machine Embroidery](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-use-main-machine-embroidery-fabrics/)**. These fabric textures have different hills and valleys, affecting the way embroidery stitches into them. Without using WST, it can be hard for your embroidery thread to penetrate the fabric properly and can result in a poorly embroidered object. When you use WST on your project, it allows the stitches to stay on the top of the fabric fibers. This brings density to those grooves, giving your embroidery a full look while also keeping clean lines in your satin stitches.

Water soluble topping can also be used for projects like freestanding lace where you only want embroidery to be shown. However, with FSL you do not need to hoop any fabric or other stabilizers to assist with your embroidery. To check out our [**vintage lace embroidery designs**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-designs/free-standing-lace/), [**click here**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-designs/free-standing-lace/).
**Please note:** Once you’ve opened your water soluble topping, we recommend keeping it in a ziplock bag or airtight container to keep heat and dampness away. As the name suggests, water soluble topping can dissolve once in contact with water, and with a small trace, it can cause the WST to shrivel up and become brittle. Just a friendly remember to store it accordingly.
## How Do You Use Water Soluble Topping For Embroidery?
Water soluble toppings are used as a topping.

To begin using your WST, you must properly hoop your stabilizer and material. Need help with your hooping? Check out our [**Hooping Tips and Tricks**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-hoop-machine-embroidery-tutorial/) by [**clicking here**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-hoop-machine-embroidery-tutorial/). After you’ve completed hooping, float a piece of water soluble topping on top of the hooped garment. You can choose to leave it freely resting on top or pin or tape it in place. But remember, the WST is light and can get bunched under the needle when the machine is running. Once your WST is in place, sew out your desired design. After you’ve finished stitching onto your garment, you must remove the water soluble topping. When removing it, it tears very easily, and all the spaces inside of little areas of lettering or objects tend to get trapped inside of them.
## How To Remove Water Soluble Embroidery Stabilizer
You’ve tried everything… tweezers, sponges, using your fingers, even rinsing your object under a running tap after you’ve finished stitching. You’ve probably thought there must be an easier way.
There is! I’m here to show you a secret my family and I have used for many years.
More of a visual learner? I’ve got you covered. Watch the Youtube tutorial [here](https://youtu.be/zpp0ndsM_XU).
### What you’ll need:
Twenty-seven years ago, during the factory days of my families’ business, we used water soluble topping quite frequently. As we would run thousands of golf shirts daily, using water soluble toppings was a must. Water soluble toppings tears away extremely easily, but because it’s sticky, it tends to get stuck in the inside of letters/holes in embroidery (especially in O’s, A’s, P’s, etc). Production time equaled money, so we needed the quickest and easiest way to remove water soluble toppings.
This is what my family came up with; you’ll need:
- A bowl of water
- Water soluble topping (leftover scraps work great)
- A tennis ball
… Yes, you did read that right, you will need a tennis ball.
### Removing water soluble embroidery stabilizer
You may be asking yourself, “why on earth would I need a tennis ball to remove water soluble toppings?”, the answer is quite simple.

Next time you use any water soluble topping, make sure you keep the excess topping after you’ve torn it off your embroidery.
Wet your cheap tennis ball in your bowl of water. You want it to be damp, not soaking, so you may have to squeeze out some of the water. Begin to wrap your damp tennis ball with your leftover solvy pieces. Eventually, you will have a solvy covered ball. Once it dries, it will have a nice hard surface, acting as a cocoon around the ball.
To get rid of the water soluble topping stuck in your embroidered design, simply wet your fingers with water and begin rubbing an area of your solvy-ball until it becomes wet and tacky. Then tap it on the water soluble topping you wish to remove, and it should come right off!
It’s as easy as that! The best way to remove solvy is solvy! Working like a magnet, it attracts to itself and lifts the topping off instantly!
## Conclusion: Use A Tennis Ball To Remove Water Soluble Topping
Hopefully this tutorial has helped you better understand a bit more about water soluble toppings and when to use it. We’ve demonstrated how to use it in the most effective (and did we mention budget-friendly) way to remove any small and hard to reach pieces left behind. Next time you’re out, be sure to grab a cheap tennis ball as you never know when you’ll need it for your next embroidery project.

## The Deer’s Embroidery Legacy’s History in Making Embroidery Patches
Before we dive into these new patch making methods, I thought you might enjoy learning about how these new techniques came about.
In 1958 my grandparents started our company as Dress CREST Embroidery. You might have noticed I emphasize the word CREST. Why? Because that (and emblems) is what patches were primarily called back in the ’50s.
The funny thing is that it was a secondary service when they started the company. The primary focus was the DRESS part, which was geared to creating yard goods and lace for the garment industry. After the first couple of years, Patches/Crests became the business’s focal point, and from the ’60s to the ’90s, emblems were our core business. By the time the 90’s hit, we had two factories, 6 Schiffli machines, and 136 multi-heads running. We produced millions of patches every year and for decades. We made patches for dozens of large companies such as Disney, Girl Guides, the NFL, MLB, and Boy Scouts.
Most of my earliest childhood memories include embroidered patches. In the early 70’s we still only had one factory with four Schiffli machines which was literally in our backyard! It made for an interesting childhood as instead of watching TV after school I would come home and go into the factory.
My Grandfather, Grandmother, Mother, and even my Great-Grandmother were always somewhere in the factory working. Every employee was like an Aunt or Uncle, and looking back, my education in embroidery started around the age of 4! I remember being picked up and sat on the production table to help glue down the patches’ tails left behind by the merrow machines.
My favorite machine was the original manual pantograph machine my grandparents started their business with. Mainly because one of my favorite people as a child was the Puncher/digitizer, my Uncle Herman. He was a giant of a man, muscular with a chiseled jaw and thick accent just like the Terminator. I remember watching him for hours as he moved the pantograph with precision to the rhythm of the machine.
As a schiffli master digitizer, his job was creating patches for 12 hours a day, one stitch at a time with no margin of error. Looking back, I was unknowingly taught a lot of the foundational principles of creating embroidery. As he would explain what he was doing, I would politely smile… All the while thinking the Flintstones was staring in minutes.
A decade or so later, at the age of 17, I started my digitizing career on the very same machine, sitting on the same wooden box Herman sat on. And yes, at the time, the irony of it did hit me as I worked my 12 hour days creating patches just as Herman did.
From 12 to 17, my grandfather ensured that my summer holidays and afterschool jobs all revolved about learning every aspect of the embroidery industry. My jobs included working on a clicker, a shuttle boy, a watcher, a stitcher, and an artist in the pre-computer age. At 17, when I started my apprenticeship as a puncher and worked on our manual pantograph creating designs was just a little different than today. The Looms were spanned up with 20 yards of material, with no trimmers or reverse, and embroidering between 114 to 680 units at a time depending on the quarter of the machine.
I’ve realized that the time I was born into this industry is the biggest blessing in my career. Not only witnessing but having the privilege of work from a Manual Pantograph to Jacquard paper tape, to eight-channel tape and, from DOS to modern-day Digitizing programs. I have quite literally had the opportunity to see this industry evolve.
My Grandmother Irene is now in her 90’s, and she has said to me time and time again how she can’t believe how much embroidery has changed in her lifetime. It’s been an honor to witness it firsthand. I know my Grandmother is proud of all she accomplished and the fruit is having seen all three of her Great-Grandchildren now working into the same business she and her husband started in 1958. This is her Legacy, and God willing will be my grandchildren’s Legacy as well.
The Deer’s Embroidery Legacy’s new game-changing patch techniques are intertwined within our past, our present, and our future.

Please note that we do not include EMB files with any of our DIY patches as the files are not to be resized and will embroider perfectly at the size they were digitized for. We do include SVG files for those who have a plotter of any kind so you can pre-cut your patches the perfect size.
### DIY Embroidery Patches Made Easy Tutorial
**Step 1: Prep your patch.**
Prepping your patch is very important. You can use any fabric you’d like from your fabric stash; felt, cotton, poly, etc.
You must back your patches by using either of these stabilizers. Just remember whichever you use will alter how you proceed with the steps below:
- A no show mesh product (with the fusible interfacing on the one side) or
- A double-sided fusible
- When using a no show mesh stabilizer product, take a teflon sheet, and put it on the very bottom, so it doesn’t stick. Then take your fabric, and no show mesh fusible and line them up, so the shiny side is to the bottom of the fabric. Then put another teflon sheet on top. The fabric and tacky patch fusible will be like a sandwich in between the two teflon sheets. Put it under the heat press for 12 seconds.
- When using a double-sided fusible, it’s essentially the same thing. Put your fusible over the fabric, then place a piece of teflon on top, line them all up and put it all under the heat press for 12 seconds. Then hoop or cut it as you please.
I highly suggest using a double-sided fusible in your patch-making process for several reasons. First, it has a double adhesive, so it sticks on one side and becomes tacky on the other side when you put it down. This eliminates the use of “spray adhesives” during the patch-making process.
Secondly, using this fusible will also give more stability to your patches than when only using a no show mesh product. Third, the reverse side has a released piece of paper that is perfect when using your plotter.
Prepping your patch this way will give your patch a backing to reduce fraying. Once it’s adhered to the actual fabric and you cut it, there will be no fraying on the edges, getting you a step closer to creating that perfect patch.
**Step 2: Cutting your patch design**
How you proceed with this next step will depend on if you have a cutting machine.
- Using a cutter machine: with our DIY Patches Made Easy design files, we include the SVG file. Simply insert your patch SVG file in your cutter and place your fabric with a stabilizer onto your matt. Have your cutter machine cut out your perfect patch shapes.
- If you do not have a cutter machine: simply run the stitch file you received within your DIY Patch Made Easy design file onto your fabric and stabilizer. Once finished, cut along the stitch outline. You want to cut directly on the stitch outline, don’t leave any of it hanging out. It is sized to fit perfectly within the design files of the patch.
**Step 3: Adhesive Backing**
Depending on which stabilizer you used will determine how your patch will adhere.
- If you use no show mesh stabilizer, you must use a spray adhesive (such as 505) on the patch’s back to stick it down.
- If you use a double-sided fusible, you will simply peel off the back, and the adhesive will be present, giving you a tacky back.
**Step 4: Embroidering Your Patch**
When embroidering your patch, you can use 3 different types of stabilizers, with one having a greater advantage over the others.
Depending on which stabilizer you use for your custom embroidery patches, it will change the method you’ll follow during your process. You can use one of the following:
1. DIY Tear Away Patches
2. DIY Wash Away Patches
3. Prep Patch Film
4. **Tear away stabilizer** is probably my least favorite product to use, although it can be functional.
When using tear away stabilizer for your DIY patches, follow these steps.
- Hoop your tear away stabilizer.
- Run your placement stitch.
- Adhese your patch.
- If you used a no show mesh fusible then spray 505 or KK to have it stick.
- If you used tacky patch, then simply peel off the paper to expose the adhesive side.
- Line up your shape perfectly with the outline that stitched.
- Put the hoop back on your machine, and it will do a double run stitch where it will go around twice for strength and then do a zigzag stitch and finish the outer side.
- If you want to use mylar, add it in at this step and secure it using painter’s tape (don’t forget to lower your design’s stitch density when using mylar!).
- You can customize lettering for your patches within your [**embroidery software**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-software/digitizing/) using [**embroidery fonts**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-fonts/).
- Stitch the rest of your design.
- Remove your hoop. Your design will already start to come loose due to using a tear away. When you tear away your patch, some little fluffies are left on the outside of the patch. I usually take a soldering iron to try to burn away some of the excess stabilizer.
2. **Wash away stabilizer** will help your results improve drastically.
When using a wash away stabilizer for your DIY patches, follow these steps.
- Hoop your wash away stabilizer.
- Run your placement stitch.
- Adhese your patch.
- If you used a no show mesh fusible then spray 505 or KK to have it stick.
- If you used tacky patch, then simply peel off the paper to expose the adhesive side.
- Line up your shape perfectly with the outline that stitched.
- Put the hoop back on your machine, and it’ll do a double run stitch where it will go around twice for strength and then do a zigzag stitch and finish the outer side.
- If you want to use mylar, add it in at this stage and secure it using painter’s tape (don’t forget to lower your stitch density when using mylar!).
- You can customize lettering for your patches within your Hatch software using ESA fonts (or other embroidery software, of course).
- Stitch the rest of your design.
- Remove your hoop. Cut close to the edge of your patch, dip your fingers in water and dab the outside of your patch to melt away the excess stabilizer. This will give you better results with a cleaner product.
3. **Prep patch film** is my preferred method and will give you the best professional-looking results possible. It is engineered for patch-making purposes. It is heat-activated and made specifically for poly material, although you can use other materials with it.
When using prep patch film for your DIY patches, follow these steps.
- Hoop your prep patch film
- **One side is smooth, and the other side is bumpy. The smooth side should be hooped upward, while the bumpy side is faced downward.**
- Run your placement stitch.
- Adhese your patch
- If you used a no show mesh fusible then spray 505 or KK to have it stick.
- If you used tacky patch then simply peel off the paper to expose the adhesive side.
- Line up your shape perfectly with the outline that stitched.
- Put the hoop back on your machine, and it’ll do a double run stitch where it will go around twice for strength and then do a zigzag stitch and finish the outer side.
- If you want to use mylar, add it in at this stage and secure it using painter’s tape (don’t forget to lower your stitch density when using mylar!).
- You can customize lettering for your patches within your Hatch software using ESA fonts (or other embroidery software, of course).
- Stitch the rest of your design.
- Remove your hoop. Simply pull the film away from the patch, and it will give you a perfect finished edge. The prep patch film is the most secure of the three options.
**Step 5: Post Patch Sealing**
You’re almost done! You will want to seal your patch using a post-patch iron-on seal.
The post-patch iron-on seal is a double-sided heat-activated seal applied to the back of your finished patch for a clean, polished result. It will hide all of your jumps and trims and give your patch a professional feel and look on its unfinished side.
To use the post-patch iron-on seal, you simply cut a piece of it to your patch’s size. Put the post-patch seal on top of your patch and sandwich it in between two pieces of teflon. Place it under your hot press or your iron at 380°F for 15 seconds.
Take off your top piece of teflon and let it cool down a little bit. Be careful it’s not too hot when you peel it off, or you will have residue left on the bottom teflon.
Once it’s cooled a bit, peel the post-patch seal off and rip off the patch’s outer exposed seal while it’s still warm. Peel off the paper part of the post-patch seal from the design (you may need to use tweezers for those small leftover pieces).
Once it’s cooled a bit, peel the post-patch seal off and rip off the patch’s outer exposed seal while it’s still warm. Peel off the paper part of the post-patch seal from the design (you may need to use tweezers for those small leftover pieces).
You now have a professional-looking DIY patch with a clean backing.

## Baby Onesie Embroidery Tutorial
**Step 1:** Cut your design template as squarely as possible. This will give you the most accurate guide when positioning your design.
**Step 2:** Find the center of the baby onesie. Fold the onesie in half lengthwise and firmly press down at the seam to create a guideline for lining up your design template.
**Step 3:** Pin the design template in place.
**Step 4:** Pre-determine your hoop positioning. When using a flatbed machine, it is essential to pre-plan the hoop’s orientation to avoid any struggle when hooping the fabric.
**Tip:**
- Pre-gauge your hoop.
- Fold the fabric in half and measure its thickness using your fingers.
- Loosen your hoop until the gap is roughly the same as the thickness of your folded fabric.
**Step 5:** Secure the stabilizer to the bottom of the hoop using painter’s tape.
**Step 6:** Line up the hoop center with the center of the design template and secure the hoop in place.
**Step 7:** Turn the onesie into a bowl to be easily hooped in the machine. Use masking tape to hold the fabric out of the center of the embroidery surface.
**Step 8:** Line the needle up with the center of the design template. Once you have lined it up, you can remove the design template and begin embroidering.
**Step 9:** Embroider your design onto the onesie.
**Step 10:** Remove the hoop from the machine and trim the long threads from the back of the design. Remove the onesie from the embroidery hoop and carefully trim the excess stabilizer from the back.
**Step 11 (optional):** If you want to use a fusible stabilizer, cut a piece to cover the back side of the design.
Use an iron on high heat to fuse the stabilizer to the onesie. To avoid burning the fabric, use parchment paper over the onesie.
Note: The fusible stabilizer has a front and backside. The rough side faces down onto the fabric when fusing it onto the onesie.
Now that you know the basics of embroidering baby onesies, you can add a personal and adorable touch to any little one’s wardrobe! By following the steps discussed above, you can create keepsakes as unique as they are precious. Start stitching and bring your creative ideas to life—happy embroidering!

### [Machine Embroidery On A Budget](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-machine-embroider-on-a-budget/)
**Published:** August 11, 2025
**Author:** Embroidery Legacy
**Content:**
> Everything is getting more expensive, groceries, gas, life in general, but fear not! Embroidery doesn’t have to be.

We live in a very disposable society. Products are often designed to serve their purpose and either “age out” (get obsolete) or wear out because they were made with cheap materials. But there are still many, many companies who make well-designed products and machinery which last a long time. The key point to remember is to purchase the necessary machinery and equipment rather than *everything* you think you need.
Let’s discuss how to enjoy machine embroidery on a budget, what is essential, what is not, and where you can find reasonable machine embroidery content and material.
## What Is Essential In Machine Embroidery
Please remember that *these are only suggestions.* You might find your budget accommodates more or less, but these basics will get you started until you know if embroidery is for you and how you will use it.
### Choosing An Embroidery Machine
- Is new better than old? A used, well-maintained commercial embroidery machine can last 30 years or more. Especially with commercial machines, just because you get old does not mean you cannot perform well.
- The actual mechanism of a sewing or embroidery machine is basically the same from brand to brand. The difference is in the accessories, bells, and whistles. An older used machine bought from a dealer may not have a laser cross hair but instead use a rubber band crossed over the arms of a hoop. It is a low-tech (and practical) alternative for centering a hoop, costing just a few cents.
- Look at a machine with practical eyes and not be seduced by gadgets. Settling for a USB port rather than a fancier wifi transfer is more cumbersome but more economical.
- Maintenance: Ask the dealer how old it is and if they maintained it. Most commercial and consumer machines have “lifetime” stitch counters which may tell you HOW many stitches, but a machine with a low stitch count that was not maintained may not be worth it.
- Warranty: Generally speaking, a dealer will give you a limited warranty of 30-90 days on the electronics but ask them if they can extend it (not for a fee). Many dealers will do so to maintain you as a customer and hope that you will buy a new machine from them later.
### How Many Needles Do I Need On My Embroidery Machine?
Technically speaking, one can usually do the job, but a multi-needle machine is always great! Please remember that a design stitches out just as nicely on a consumer machine as a multi-needle, so do not feel pressured because everyone else seems to be getting one. Usually, the only difference is that you save time by not having to switch thread colors often.
### What Embroidery Machine Brand Is Best?
Brands of machines are just as personal as a brand of car or perfume, or sports team. We like what we like and usually stick with it because it is what we know. However—when shopping for a brand, make sure it is a reputable company you can research with reviews to back it (not promoted manufacturer reviews).
German, Swedish, Japanese, and American-made machines have good track records, and you can find a lot of support and reviews online and in groups like Facebook. Many less reputable companies take legitimate machines and duplicate parts, rebranding them under their name. You should avoid a company no one can tell you about or a deal that seems “too good to be true.”
A good place to start is to ask yourself why you’re getting into embroidery. If it’s for business purposes, our [**what is the best embroidery machine for a home business**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/what-is-the-best-embroidery-machine-for-a-home-business/) article is a great place to start.
### How Much Should I Spend On An Embroidery Machine?
Only your budget can tell you that, but remember that the machine you can afford right now may not be the one you have in five or more years. That time will show you if embroidery is just an occasional hobby or a real-life passion.
When you are ready to commit to a pro-level machine, know that these will last a very long time and are well worth the money invested.
## What Materials Do I Need for Machine Embroidery?
Buy for what is happening, not what will happen. Often people purchase embroidery supplies like quantum physics. We don’t know where the electrons are *right now*, so let’s plan for every place they might land.. Likewise, we don’t know what we need right now, so we open our wallets and buy EVERYTHING! We buy what we see others have and experience a lot of FOMO (fear of missing out). Start small and work big.
- **Thread:** Start small and buy from a good vendor. Supplies like thread are so enticing… all the pretty colors, but why pay for a color you may not use. Start with only what you need.

- **Stabilizer**: Please use a good quality stabilizer. Until you know what stabilizer you like, try an assortment pack! These are generally available from reputable companies, allowing you to see if they work for you.

- **Scissors**: We often forget they’re an essential tool for creating quality embroidery. You don’t need every kind of scissors, but depending on the type of embroidery you’re creating, we do recommend certain ones!

- **Bobbins**: Magnetic vs Paper vs wind your own… Again this is a preference, but consumer machines usually have an included bobbin you can refill to match your embroidery, but you can also buy magnetic and paper bobbins. Magnetic bobbins are designed to fit in the metal bobbin case of a commercial or hybrid machine, and the magnetic ring helps to prevent the backlash of thread.
## Where Can I Save Money In Machine Embroidery?
- **Scrap Material**
- Clothing with holes or tears can be upscaled with embroidery!
- Social media sites with free discussions of money-saving crafting
- Thrift store finds… Thrift stores are fantastic sources of designer clothing and more- your imagination is the only thing stopping you from creating something wonderful!
- **Notions**
- Buttons – old buttons can be used to jazz up your embroidery.
- Buy zippers in a roll! Like to do zipper bags? Buy your zippers in a roll and cut off what you need. There are many notion companies which carry these. They come with zipper pulls. You can also replace broken zippers.
- **Don’t toss it!!**
- Water-soluble Stabilizer – save your little scraps of water-soluble stabilizer, and when you need some starch spray dissolve them in water. Apply with a spray bottle
- Smaller pieces of stabilizer can be used as one layer when using two layers of stabilizer. Place the scraps (do not overlap them) on top of the larger piece of stabilizer (they will be between the fabric and the back of the stabilizer) and hoop.
- Small colorful scraps! Great for applique- sometimes you’ll have JUST what you need and not have to buy a fat quarter or more.

## Where Should I Not Be Frugal In Machine Embroidery?
- **Thread –** *Please* don’t skimp on thread! This is one area where buying used, or “old” is not worth any price. Thread has an expiration date and needs to be stored correctly, or it can fray and break and make your embroidery experience miserable. Likewise, don’t buy huge collections of “amazing deal” threads with every color under the sun! If you are not going to use them, why spend money? Cheap brands offering unbelievable deals are just that- cheap.
- **Needles** – You do not have to buy every needle size (generally, a good 75/11 will be fine), but you do need a good quality needle. Knockoffs, discounts, and “too good to be true” needles are not worth it.
- **Maintenance** – Your manual will tell you about maintenance. Yes, maintenance is boring, but ***not*** doing it will hurt you in the long run. If you have a commercial or hybrid machine, use a good quality sewing machine oil and buy in small amounts.
- **Training** – the old saying “garbage in, garbage out” is valid here. The machine does what you tell it, and if you don’t know what to say to it or the language it understands, you will get painful results!
## Where Can I Find Embroidery Training & Software for Machine Embroidery On A Budget?
Training and software are the counterparts of your machine. If you don’t put in a well-digitized design, you’ll never get one out, even with the best machine on the market. Good training and an understanding of the theory of embroidery is equally important.

A plain t-shirt makes the perfect canvas to add some creative machine embroidery.
T-shirts stretch, but embroidery designs do not. And what about placement? Where exactly should you place the design on the t-shirt, and how do you make sure it is straight?
## How To Machine Embroider A Shirt
Embroidering on a T-shirt is the perfect project for a beginner. T-shirts are affordable and easy to find, with many options available at thrift stores.
If you are considering starting an embroidery business, mastering embroidery on T-shirt fabric is necessary. Many companies and organizations want their employees to wear branded, embroidered T-shirts and polos.
Before starting embroidering, ensure you are using a high-quality embroidery design. Nothing is worse than running your shirt with perfect placement and hooping, only to have it ruined by a poorly digitized design!

## Placement Of Embroidery On A T-shirt
When embroidering on t-shirts, the common placement for embroidered designs is in the center or on the left chest.
### How To Center A Design On A T-Shirt
First, turn the shirt inside out. Match the side seams and the seams at the shoulder. Then, fold the shirt in half and iron it. Now, you have an apparent vertical line down the center front of the shirt on which you can center the design.
Next, you must decide how high to place the design on the t-shirt. Here are our recommendations for a center placement: - *Baby onesie*: The top of the design should hit about 1.5” from the center front of the neck hole.
- *Kids’ t-shirts*: The top of the design should hit about 2” from the center front of the neck hole.
- *Adult t-shirts*: The top of the design should hit about 3” from the center front of the neck hole.
Now that we know the distance from the neck, how do we center? You will add together the distance from the neckline we mentioned above ***plus one-half the height of the design. This will correctly place the design mid-to-upper chest. The size of a design can also affect this. Embroidering a 3-inch design will be a bit higher than a 10-inch*** design.
> For example, if you are stitching a design that is 5” in height on a kid’s t-shirt. The center point would be 2” + 2.5” = 4.5” from the top center edge of the neck hole.

Remember to trust your perspective. You can print a paper copy of the design. Place it on the shirt to see how it will look.
### Left Chest Design Placement On A T-Shirt
Identifying the center point of a design intended to go over the left chest is also pretty simple. Again, turn the T-shirt inside out and find the center by folding it in half. Once you have a center line of the shirt, the center of the design going on the left chest should fall between this fold line and the left shirt sleeve seam.
Align the original and side seam lines to create another vertical fold line to serve as your center line. Your new fold line will lie between these two lines.
> For women’s shirts, the top of the design should be about 5 inches from the highest part of the shoulder seam. For men’s shirts, it should be about 7 inches.

Find the center point of your embroidery design on the t-shirt. Mark it with a pin. Insert the pin from the front to the back of the shirt.

## How To Embroider A Shirt With a Machine
Hooping your shirt is crucial to get excellent results.
> *Remember not to make the hoop too tight, as it can cause hoop burn. If the hoop is too loose, it may distort and move the design. Learn more from our How To Easily Avoid and Fix [**Hoop Burn guide**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-avoid-fix-embroidery-hoop-burn/).*

With proper placement and hooping taken care of, it’s time to start embroidering!
List of needed materials: - T-shirt
- Scissors
- Painters tape (or adhesive spray)
- Marker
- Measuring tape
- Design template print out
- Iron
- Embroidery design (we used [**Beach Babe**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/product/embroidery-design-beach-babe/))
**Step 1:** Fold your shirt in half and iron it to get a good center line to base your placement off.
**Step 2:** Take your design printout (in actual size) and measure where you want to put it in your shirt. Here we want to be 3″ below the top of our shirt.
**Step 3:** Use painters tape to surround your template and place small dots as to where your horizontal and vertical axis is. (You can use a fabric marker but this makes less mess!)
[](https://embroiderylegacy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Placementtshirtmarker.jpg)
**Step 4:** Take your bottom hoop. Use painters tape to keep the stabilizer from moving on the hoop. Place it under your shirt.
> *For most T-shirts, a medium-weight cutaway works and provides a good stabilizer. No-show mesh is a good choice as it is softer, but you might need two or more layers. You can use iron-on fusible interfacing, but this can create marks from the edges of the stabilizer on the back of the shirt.*

**Step 5:** Position your design template back on your shirt between all of your markings.
**Step 6:** Properly hoop your shirt. Use your tape for correct placement.
> *When choosing your hoop, ensure it’s as close to the design size as possible.*

**Step 7:** Turn your shirt inside out after hooping and remove the tape.
**Step 8:** Place clips around your garment to hold extra material. Put your hoop onto your embroidery machine and start your design!
**Step 9:** Finish stitching your embroidery design.
**Step 10:** Once your design is completed, remove it from the hoop. Turn your shirt inside out and cut away your stabilizer.
**Step 11:** Turn the right way out and you have a perfectly placed embroidery design on a t-shirt!
> *If you see hoop burn on your garment, lightly spray it with water. Let it dry and see the hoop burn disappear, keep the fabric type in mind.*

You’re ready to wear your newly embroidered shirt!
## Tips For Machine Embroidery On T-Shirts
Other than placement and hooping, here are a few other tips that will improve the outcome of your project. - **Use an appropriate [embroidery needle](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-use-machine-embroidery-needles/).** A ballpoint needle is best when embroidering on a stretch fabric like a t-shirt. It gently pushes away the fabric when stitching instead of shearing it.
- **Use a water-soluble topper for a more polished result.** Water-soluble toppers are often used on nappy fabrics like towels and can also improve the look of a T-shirt.
- **Use *Cloud Cover* to soften the inside of a t-shirt.** The back side of an embroidery or applique design can be irritating when it is in direct contact with the skin. *Cloud Cover* is a product you iron on the back of the design to cover the scratchy stitches.
- **Print out the embroidery design to scale to help with placement.** Figuring out how high to place the design on the t-shirt can be tricky. Please print out the design to scale, position it on the t-shirt, and mark the center point with a pin.
Learning how to embroider on a t-shirt is a valuable skill. It can help you start a successful embroidery business or create gifts for those you love. Mastering this is the key to building a solid foundation. With some practice and patience, you’ll create beautiful and functional garments in no time.

### [How To Do Cutwork Machine Embroidery](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-do-cutwork-embroidery-tutorial/)
**Published:** August 11, 2025
**Author:** Embroidery Legacy
**Content:**
Cutwork embroidery can seem intimidating, but is it?
Not when you have the right tools, information, and easy step-by-step tutorials!
Keep reading to find out everything you need to know to create your own cutwork, including the basics of the cutwork process and certain tools to perfect this technique.
## Cutwork Embroidery
Cutwork involves freestanding embroidery that is sewn onto fabric. Depending on your design and the project look you desire, cutwork designs can be stitched surrounded by fabric, or it can be half on your fabric and half freestanding.
### Cutwork embroidery designs
Cutwork embroidery designs are specifically created for cutwork. These designs involve specific steps to aid with the process. First, they will include a cut line. This will give you an outline of where you’ll cut for your freestanding embroidery to be visible. You will cut inside the sewn lines. If your stabilizer has been hooped with your fabric DO NOT cut your stabilizer, only your fabric. Next, another embroidery file will stitch. It will line up perfectly with where you cut your fabric. This will be your selected embroidery design and should stitch and look like a cutwork design.
> ***Please note:* if you wish to use the cutwork technique, only use designs that have been digitized specifically for the cutwork process.** [***To view our Embroidery Legacy cutwork designs, click here***](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-designs/cutwork/)*.*

### Cutwork embroidery stabilizer
You don’t always realize how important stabilizer is until you’re doing cutwork! It’s also crucial to make sure you’re using the right stabilizer. If you used cutaway stabilizer for any embroidery cutwork project, you would spend way too much time with your scissors trying to get it out of the design. As the point of cutwork is to have freestanding embroidery, you want nothing left behind or shown in your embroidery. Using wash away stabilizer is a MUST in this technique. Getting rid of your stabilizer shadowing through is as easy as rinsing your design in warm water.
**Note:** I would suggest first doing a test with your wash away stabilizer as all household water is different. If warm water isn’t removing the stabilizer, try adding a tiny bit of fabric softener or hair conditioner.
To find out more about stabilizers, check out our **[Complete Guide to Machine Embroidery Stabilizers by clicking here](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-use-machine-embroidery-stabilizer/)**.

### Cutwork embroidery fabrics
The fabrics you use in your cutwork projects can have an impact on your results. If you use a fabric with too high or too low density, it can cause too much movement or cause your design to stitch out poorly. I suggest using cotton materials but make sure your item is washed before to ensure it will not shrink after you’ve stitched on it.

### Threads for cutwork embroidery
Although many different thread types are making it hard to determine what’s best to use for cutwork, I suggest using Rayon thread. Rayon lays flatter, has a high sheen, and offers many different color selections. It can perform well in high-speed stitching and has a softer feel, great for intricate embroidery. I would not suggest using Poly. Although it has a higher breaking point, Poly’s synthetic nature causes it to become a little spongy in feel and appearance when the stabilizer dissolves.
> *When stitching out cutwork, use Rayon thread for a softer feel and perfect end result appearance. Want to learn more about embroidery thread? Check out our **[Types of Machine Embroidery Threads and When To Use Them article by clicking here](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-threads/)**.*

### Scissors for cutwork embroidery
You can use any embroidery scissor, but I highly suggest using 6-inch double-edge curved scissor when it comes to cutwork embroidery. The reason is because of how they’re designed. The handle is curved, which allows you to get in and under your fabric, similar to a shovel. The blade end of the scissor points upwards; this is so the blade doesn’t cut anything you don’t want cut, such as the bottom part of the stabilizer or fabric. This end also helps with precision and intricate detail, which is essential when creating cutwork in embroidery.

For example, how and where you order your thread, what sort of tools you use to save time, and machine quality will impact the amount of time your machine will remain up and running. The more time you spend embroidering and avoiding costly mistakes, the more profit you can generate.
## 1. Buy in Bulk
Once you’ve chosen a thread brand that you like, it’s time to purchase all the colors. As a professional, you should have all the colors you might need. It costs time and money to buy thread and stabilizers as you need them. It’s better to have everything you need on hand rather than waiting and potentially losing an order.
### Buying thread in bulk
The best way to do this is to compare prices between sellers like Amazon and the thread brands you like. There are many third-party websites and retailers that offer discounts on bulk purchases and free delivery.
Taking the time to look at bulk deals from third-party sellers could save you hundreds of dollars in the long run. The most important thing to consider is the time saved. The less time you spend online purchasing individual colors every week, the more profitable your business can become.
> Remember to also get larger thread spools when possible. Small spools often cost more per yard of thread than larger spools and you have to change them more frequently while embroidering which equals less time your machine is actually running.

**Pro thread tip: Don’t rethread the needle every time.**
Not having to rethread your needle each time a spool runs out is a time saver. Instead, check out the video below to find out how to change your spools without rethreading the needle. We also suggest buying bigger spools, as the more thread on the spool, the longer the usage. Using these suggestions will save you time, and in return make you money.
### Buying stabilizer in bulk
[**Check out our blog here on the various types of stabilizers**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-use-machine-embroidery-stabilizer/) you can purchase if you’re unsure of which ones to go with. For those of you who are more tech-savvy and product aware, you can sometimes find some great deals on eBay. Otherwise, stick to trusted online retailers and once again, buy larger rolls.
## 2. Find and Use a Good “Blanks” Store
When you begin embroidering large quantity orders, you’ll need lots of garments to embroider on. Whether it’s shirts, hats, hoodies, or aprons, you can find online stores that offer “blank” or unbranded versions.
Using brand name shirts or hats can become very expensive.
> *As an important note as well, you might want to test out your designs first before using your customer’s product. Especially if they want embroidery added to a brand name product. Having a trusted “blanks” store will save you money and offer peace of mind.*

We know that it is vital to test embroidery threads before making a bulk purchase. It is equally important to test clothing before putting in a large order. Purchase only one or two articles of clothing to see how they feel and fit before buying a large supply. When it comes to fabrics and how they interact with thread and embroidery, there are**[ three main categories based on how certain fabrics are produced; you can find out more about them here.](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-use-main-machine-embroidery-fabrics/)**
### Pro tip #1
If you are sourcing new products from vendors, remember to do a “wash-test” with the design embroidered on the garments first, before you commit to stocking inventory. This will prevent any nasty surprises when a customer orders embroidery work on your selection of garments.
Even though the manufacturers might claim the shirts or garments are pre-shrunk, this doesn’t necessarily mean the garment won’t shrink. This way, you can say with confidence that the shirt will look and feel as desired after its first wash.
There is nothing more displeasing than a product that is ruined by its very first wash. I think we can all relate.
### Pro tip #2
We strongly recommend test embroidering the design in the thread colors selected by the customer, onto the chosen garment, with the specified placement for large contract orders. Have the customer review and “sign off” on the order before beginning production. That way, you can be sure the customer knows what they are getting.
It is no secret that some customers can have difficult characters. By making sure the customer knows exactly what their order of one thousand embroidered hats looks like, you can prevent an extremely costly mistake.
**Quick (not so fun) Story by John:** “We had a large order of caps for one of North America’s largest beer manufacturers in the 1990s. They ordered 14,000 caps for a festival they were sponsoring. The artwork they sent us had a spelling mistake in it, as the event was in Montreal and all the text was in French, we did not catch the error. Two vowels were accidentally inverted, all 14,000 caps ended up in the trash. Thankfully, we got them to sign off on a sample (like is suggested above) before we began mass production. This small act saved us tens of thousands of dollars as the fault was then legally theirs, instead of ours.”
## 3. Use High-Quality Embroidery Designs
Perhaps the most important ingredient in maximizing your profit is the use of high-quality designs. When using low-quality designs, you run the risk of breaking needles, bird’s nests, and wasted time. It’s a no-brainer.
The finest products in any market all have one thing in common — attention to detail. No stone is left unturned. Taking a short cut and using low-quality embroidery designs is like trying to build a house on mud. No matter how good it looks on paper, no matter the quality of the supplies, it will fall apart, or at the very least look poorly built and unstable.
Customers will be able to see and feel that something is wrong (especially if the design is “bullet-proof). They might be too polite to say anything, but rest assured they won’t want to come back for more. It’s one of the single most worth-it investments you can make to impress your customers and have sought-after products. We want to make this easy for you.

Although our designs and the artwork we use are visually stunning, what really makes them stand out is the quality. Being created by the world’s most awarded embroidery digitizer, we guarantee that no matter which design you download from our site, it will run smoothly on your machine from start to finish.
### Learn how to digitize your own designs
If you’d like to take your skills to the next level, you can learn how to create your own embroidery designs (which is called [**embroidery digitizing**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-what-is-embroidery-digitizing/)). It is crucial to learn the right skills and approach to design creation. That’s why we offer a digitizing course to help you achieve your goals.
Learning how to digitize on your own is respectable and ambitious. Our course teaches you what you need to know in the order you need to know it. No more looking for YouTube videos or scouring through six thousand word articles to find that piece of advice you’re looking for. It’s all right here in our [**Digitizer’s Dream Course**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-classes/digitizing-education/).
> *Our [**Digitizers Dream Course**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-classes/digitizing-education/) is available for up to ten different software brands.

### Hire someone to digitize designs for you
When you begin to learn how to digitize, it might take some time before you can create your own high-quality designs.
In that time, you’ll still want to create your own designs, so hiring someone or purchasing high-quality designs is a viable option. However, there are a few things to keep in mind.
### Things to keep in mind when hiring a digitizer or digitizing your own designs
Finding a quality digitizer in today’s market is difficult. It will come down to trial and error, finding someone who provides both visual quality and soft production-friendly designs.
Whether you are purchasing previously digitized stock designs, doing it yourself, or hiring a digitizer, poorly digitized designs will cost you time and money. A poorly digitized design will have the most significant impact on your bottom line. The longer a design takes to embroider, the fewer goods you can sell.
Even designs that look “good” can be poorly digitized. Every unnecessary trim in an embroidery design costs you 120 stitches of downtime. A design with 50 unnecessary trims is an additional 6000 stitches of run time in production. That’s profits falling off the table.
[**Click here for some additional information on hiring a digitizer.** ](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-digitizing-services/)
### Having the right embroidery software for lettering & monogramming
Having the right embroidery software can save you tons of time and money!
**Pro tip from John Deer:** No matter which software you use, here’s a quick video that’ll show you how to increase your production, and hence profits, with embroidery software when you get “name drop” orders.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLjUWgoUfMo&t
Setting up one file with multiple names stacked on top of each other with a color change after each name will save an incredible amount of downtime during production. If individual files need to be loaded the machine is sitting idle the entire time, plus loading a file can take up to 40 seconds.
## 4. Get Your Hooping Right
Hooping is another vital element of successful design implementation. Many headaches are caused by simple hooping mistakes that could have easily been prevented. Again, more errors mean either more time/materials wasted or unhappy customers, which both equal less profit.
Consistency in design placement is a priority with production and quality. Every item must be the same if you have an order for 24 shirts with a left chest design placement.
Now I could dig into a whole article about proper hooping, but hey, we’ve already done that with our [**Complete Embroidery Hooping Guide**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-hoop-machine-embroidery-tutorial/)! It’s jam-packed with hooping tips, tricks and secrets.
As a business owner or someone running a few orders for profit, aside from the techniques taught in the article above, our biggest secret to headache-free hooping lies with [**Mighty Hoops.**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/mighty-hoops/) These magnetic embroidery hoops are a game-changer for easy, accurate hooping. They work easily with various multi-needle machines, prevent material shifting, and eliminate the risk of hoop burn. Plus, they’re incredibly user-friendly and take the frustration out of hooping.
Any tool that saves time and hassle provides a great return on your investment, and Mighty Hoops are no exception. Plus, when you purchase them through us you’ll get **exclusive bonuses** you won’t find anywhere else!
## 5. Your Machine Makes All The Difference
You have great designs. You have the right thread. Your hooping skills are expert level. What is the one thing that stitches it all together? Your machine. The very device you use to make all of your hard work come alive.
This is a valuable investment. Maximizing profit isn’t all about marketing and tweaking sales tactics. Yes, those things are essential, but not everything. A big part of becoming more profitable is — I’ve said it before, and I’ll repeat it — your ROI or return on investment.
### ROI comes from your machine
The more often your machine is down, the more often you fix problems with thread, speed, or tension; you aren’t embroidering. If your machine is continually not running due to small or large issues, you are using hard-earned profits for repair rather than reinvesting in yourself or your business.
It might not seem like a significant issue in the heat of the moment, but it can cost thousands in the long run. You can get away with taking shortcuts on equipment in other hobbies or businesses, but we do not advise this if you want a profitable machine embroidery business.
Many machines are out there, and we could discuss them all in length, but it wouldn’t serve as a tip for profitability. If you are here to make yourself more profitable, you are here to know which machine will help you reach that goal.

## Apply These Tips In Your Business
We are committed to helping you succeed. One of the best things you can do for your business and increase profitability, is to increase the value you offer to your customers.
You want to spend more time talking with your customers, understanding their needs, and helping them achieve their wants and desires to turn a real profit. That’s how any business works. A company that prioritizes profit doesn’t provide the best value to its customers. A business that improves its systems as a benefit to the customer will maximize profits.
Using these tips will help you make your embroidery process more efficient, allowing you to spend more time doing what you love, and in turn, providing your customers with the value and service they deserve.

## Tote Bag Embroidery Tutorial
**Step 1:** Print out and cut your design template. Use the template to ensure your design fits within your hoop and achieves perfect placement on your tote bag.
Please note: If you want to embroider in the center of your bag, fold your tote bag in half from top to bottom as well as left and right (we find this easiest to measure). A crease will show marking the center of the tote (these wrinkles can be ironed out later).
**Step 2:** Place your design template in the middle of your bag using the crisscross of your folded lines.
**Step 3:** Pin your design template in place. Hold up your bag to ensure the template is in the right place. Adjust the placement if needed.
**Step 4:** Hoop your stabilizer and tote. If you’re using a single-needle embroidery machine, position your top hoop so that the part you attach to your machine faces toward the open part of the bag.
Watch the video above to learn how to gauge and preset your hoop for the best results.
**Tip:** Tape the stabilizer to your bottom hoop to prevent the stabilizer from moving when you try to hoop. Insert your bottom hoop through the opening of your bag.
**Step 5:** Because we’re using a flat-head machine, turn your tote almost inside out (very carefully) and create a bowl-like shape to create a flat surface. Remove the small piece of tape from your hoop.
**Step 6:** Load your embroidery design onto your machine and place your hoop in it. Remove the straps and extra edges away from the center to prevent the possibility of being embroidered (extra tape or clips work well to hold extra fabric as long as they aren’t around the needle).
Center your needle in the center of your design template.
**Step 7:** Remove your pins and template from your bag and stitch out your embroidery design.
**Step 8:** After stitching your design is completed, carefully remove the hoop from your machine and your tote bag.
**Step 9:** Remove the stabilizer by tearing it away. You can trim the excess threads if you like.
**Step 10:** After your turn your tote back inside out, you can see your design is centered on the bag. You’re ready to use your newly embroidered tote bag!
You’ve now transformed your ordinary canvas tote bag into a personalized tote masterpiece. Whether you’re using it for everyday errands, a trip to the beach, or a special occasion, your embroidered personalized tote bag will turn heads and spark conversations. So grab your supplies and let your creativity shine – your tote bag is your canvas!

### [How to Embroider Your Own DIY Fabric Basket Pattern](https://embroiderylegacy.com/fabric-basket-embroidery-project/)
**Published:** August 11, 2025
**Author:** Embroidery Legacy
**Content:**
Is your kitchen counter space getting cluttered?
Bread and buns can take up space, so why not make something to keep them tidy while adding some flair to your kitchen decor?
We’ve got just the thing! Keep reading below to make your own interchangeable fabric basket.
## Why should you create this embroidered fabric bread basket?
Half the fun of making something is the ability to use your artistic talents and personalize it to whatever your decorative taste may be. Whether you want it to match your kitchen cupboards colors or to go perfectly with that Thanksgiving table runner you made last year, you can be sure it’ll fit perfectly with your kitchen decor.
Not only can you create a fabric bread basket to suit your needs, but you could also make one as a thoughtful gift for someone else. This basket would be the perfect birthday gift for your mom or make a great housewarming gift for your sister’s new place. You could make it even more special and personable by including a special saying or their name on the bottom of the basket. Everyone needs to give a little flair to their kitchen, am I right?

This bread basket is the most elegant way to serve your bread. Instead of having your bread and buns left in a hurdle in the corner of your kitchen counter (yes, I was guilty of this too), this is an elegant way to store and serve them. Although I love the idea of this fabric basket used for bread storage, its usage is not limited. Why not create a personalized fabric basket to store your Thanksgiving themed napkins for the middle of your kitchen table. Use it to serve your guest’s fresh homemade cookies, or keep it on your coffee table in the living room to keep your books and magazines tidy. As you use each basket for a different use, change your embroidery designs and fabrics to best suit its purpose.
> Now keep in mind, you don’t have to use this [**bread design**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/product/embroidery-design-two-loaves-of-bread-large-br-4-97w-x-4-79h/) for your basket. To really personalize your custom embroidered placemat, you can choose from our giant database of close to [**30,000 quality embroidery designs**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-designs/), or you can easily create your design text or image with the [**Design Doodler**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-software/design-doodler/).

This fabric bread basket is perfect for those wanting to stay on a budget (or really anyone who likes to save money). The materials are inexpensive, and some you may even have on hand. Dig deep into that fabric stash and see what you can use before purchasing more fabric. Remember, there’s no wrong way of what material or designs you use on this basket project!
Lastly, these fabric bread baskets are super easy to wash. Depending on which fabric you choose, you could just wipe off the surface with a cloth, or for a more thorough clean, undo the ribbons, rinse it in soapy water, and then hang to dry. Did I mention it’s also easy to store? With different seasons and different reasons to use this fabric basket, you may want to switch it out for a different fabric basket look. Simply untie the ribbons and lay it flat. Voila, easy to store and takes up very little space.
## Supplies required for this embroidered fabric bread basket
- 1 piece of fabric 16″ x 20″ to fit large hoop
- 1 piece of fabric 14″ x 19″
- 1 piece stitch-n-shape or shape-flex 13″ x 18″
- 8 pieces of ribbon 16″ each
- Stabilizer (to decide which stabilizer is right for different embroidery projects, check out our [**complete guide to embroidery stabilizers**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-use-machine-embroidery-stabilizer/))
- Iron
- Pins
- Embroidery designs for decor, we used:
- [**Two loaves of bread**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/product/embroidery-design-two-loaves-of-bread-large-br-4-97w-x-4-79h/)
- [**Corner swirls**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/product/embroidery-design-corner-swirls-br-3-89w-x-3-89h/)
- Sewing machine to stitch fabric (or if you’re feeling ambitious, just a needle and thread work too) -you don’t need a lot of sewing skills.
## Embroidered fabric bread basket tutorial
**Step 1:** Decide on your choice of fabric & the design you want stitched to accent your bread basket.
Print the design template.
\[For this tutorial, we used two loaves of bread, and corner swirls. Corner swirls were rotated within [**embroidery software**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-software/digitizing/) to face the proper sides of each corner\]
**Step 2:** Hoop your 16″ x 20″ fabric with the proper stabilizer.
**Step 3:** Stitch out your desired embroidery design(s).
**Step 4:** On your stitch-n-shape or shape-flex cut away a 2 ½ “square from each of the four corners.
**Step 5:** Trim the embroidered fabric to 14″ x 19″.
**Step 6:** Pin one piece of ribbon 4″ from each corner.
Stitch in place.
**Step 7:** Pin loose ends of the ribbons to your fabric so they don’t get caught in the seams.
**Step 8:** Place both pieces of your fabrics “front” sides together, like a sandwich where the designs are in the middle.
Stitch around only three sides of the fabric (you want to leave one side open so you can flip it inside out).
**Step 9:** Turn the fabric right side out and press with an iron.
**Step 10:** Insert stitch-n-shape or shape-flex into the unsewn side of your fabric.
**Step 11:** Sew the last opening of the fabrics closed.
Top-stitch along all the edges of your sandwiched fabrics.
**Step 12:** Fold each side 2″ inward toward the center of the fabric and press with a hot iron.
**Step 13:** Stitch along the fold line of the lower four sides to create the bottom of the basket.
**Step 14:** Tie the two ribbons from each corner together to create a basket appearance.
Store flat for easy keeping; putting the basket back together is as easy as tying the ribbons together again.
## Conclusion: create this embroidered DIY fabric bread basket
With multiple uses, many different looks, and easy cleaning and storage. Why wouldn’t you make this fabric bread basket? Whether you’re looking to spruce up your kitchen, give a thoughtful gift, or create home decor on a budget, this is the right project for you.

### [Free Standing Lace Embroidery Designs, Tutorial & Tips](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-tutorial-free-standing-lace/)
**Published:** August 11, 2025
**Author:** Jesse Deer
**Content:**
Here at the Embroidery Legacy, we have a special relationship with free standing lace because it’s how our company began back in the 1950s. During that period in my great-grandparents’ embroidery factory, our free standing lace designs were manually crafted one stitch at a time by European Schiffli Masters.
Originally crafted for the wedding and bridal industry, our free standing lace designs are both elegant and soft to the touch. Today, we are one of the only companies that offers [**authentic vintage free standing lace designs**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-designs/free-standing-lace/) that’ll run on your modern embroidery machine. They’re truly a piece of embroidery history
**Our free standing lace designs used to create a wedding dress by one of our amazing fans**
**How our lace was crafted in the 1950s**
## Our 1950s Vintage Free Standing Lace Embroidery Designs
Our lace & heirloom designs were initially saved on paper drafts and stored deep in the walls of our family’s embroidery factories for almost 50 years. When commercial embroidery moved overseas in the early 1990s, we shut down our industrial factories and stumbled upon the original paper drafts. What a blessing!
We later re-digitized and converted these paper drafts into modern-day embroidery design formats to allow them to run on your home embroidery machine.

## Our Top Tips when Embroidering Free Standing Lace Designs
- Use a pre-wound bobbin to match the color of the thread you’re using.
- Slow your machine speed down.
- For a noticeably softer feel, be sure to use rayon [**embroidery thread** ](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-threads/)as it is not a synthetic thread like polyester. Keep in mind, if the lace design was not digitized properly, this may cause numerous thread breaks as rayon is not as strong of a thread as polyester.
- When running the lace through warm water to dissolve away the stabilizer, use a tiny bit of hair conditioner & gently massage it into the lace. The hair conditioner will give it an even softer feel.

## What is Free Standing Lace for Machine Embroidery?
If you’re new to machine embroidery, you may have heard the term free standing lace (sometimes cut down to “FSL” on social media).
> Compared to regular lace, which must be sewn directly onto a garment or a piece of fabric, free standing lace is sewn on water-activated dissolve away stabilizer which you’ll later *run under warm water & the stabilizer will vanish! Leaving nothing but a self-supported lace design made up & held together only by embroidery threads!*

### What Can I Use Free Standing Lace Embroidery Patterns For?
Historically speaking, free standing lace always carried a certain degree of sophistication with it. Due to its delicate nature, it has always been a perfect fit to complement the female figure on clothing. One of lace’s most famous uses, of course, is being sewn onto a wedding dress. However, lace doesn’t always have to appear in such a formal fashion. It also looks great on t-shirts, jeans, jackets, and tons of other wearable items.
Free standing lace patterns are also a great way to add some elegance to your home. Whether it be a tablecloth, clothes hanger, or even a pillow, free standing lace can add a touch of class to almost anything:
Within the past decade or so, “In-the-hoop projects” have become very popular. Because of this, lace designs today (although not always free standing) are used to create a variety of items such as free standing lace earrings, Christmas ornaments, 3D angels, and more. **[Click here to browse our library of in-the-hoop project designs](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-designs/in-the-hoop/)**.

Be sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel if you enjoyed that video for tons of other great embroidery how-to videos. Now if you prefer written instructions, we have those as well here for you:
1\. Hoop a piece of water-soluble backing (i.e dissolve-away / wash-away stabilizer)
2\. Embroider the free standing lace pattern onto the backing.
3\. Remove from hoop & cut as closely to lace as possible without cutting into stitching.
Hold lace under warm water. The water stream should be gentle, rinse until all residue is removed.
Lay lace on a towel and gently pat dry. Let air dry or hasten the process by using a hairdryer on low setting.
That’s it. Congratulations, you’ve just embroidered your first piece of free standing lace!
## How Can I Create My Own Free Standing Lace Embroidery Designs?
Although digitizing lace seems like a challenge, it can be done with the right education and teacher!
You can experience an old-school digitizing lesson from one of the last Schiffli Masters, John Deer! John will take you by the hand and teach you how to manually digitize your own beautiful free standing lace patterns. This is the ultimate mapping exercise that will replicate the tools and thought process of how true free standing lace was mechanically digitized decades ago.

## Why Embroider This Kids’ Applique Toolbelt project?
One of the many wonderful things about having young children is that they don’t know the difference between a $500 toy or a $5 toy. So, why not make something for them yourself that is both cute and gets their imaginations going? These lovable applique toolbelt designs are the perfect accessory for young builders!
In terms of you the embroiderer, embroidering this applique toolbelt encourages you to be creative. Now keep in mind that you don’t only have to use the tool designs highlighted in this project. The fabrics and designs you choose to embroider are limitless. You can apply our tutorial steps to any applique designs, although when it comes to any of our project tutorials we recommend using **[our quality embroidery designs](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-designs/),** for best results. Of course, just keep in mind what your child would enjoy playing with, as the purpose of this project is for their play use.

Now if you’re really looking for something fun to keep the kids entertained, try getting your child involved in the embroidery process! Kids love to watch and learn new things. They also love to help out, and including their input would make this toolbelt project more memorable and personal for them (which will likely make them want to play with it more if they “made” it).
Although sometimes children aren’t the most productive “helpers,” spending time together can be the highlight of this project, and who knows, maybe this would be the start of their love for embroidery!
This child applique toolbelt would also be a great gift for a birthday, Christmas, or just because. If you’ve shopped for children before, you’ve seen the outrageous prices of children’s toys. Not only can you personalize this toy and get your child involved, but it’s also budget-friendly! You can use leftover fabric from previous embroidery projects and buy all the other materials needed at a low cost.
\*\* It might go without saying but please remember to keep your kids away from your embroidery machine while it’s running.

- Buckle
### Kids Applique Toolbelt Tutorial:
**Step 1** -Prepare fabric
**Step 2** -Hoop water soluble stabilizer. Tear away can also be used, but I would suggest not stitching all of the designs at the same time in this case.
**Step 3** -Stitch placement stitch. Adhere fabric on top and bottom of the stabilizer/placement line.
**Step 4** -Stitch tack-down stitch.
**Step 5** -Cut excess fabric on top and bottom.
**Step 6** -Stitch the remaining details.
**Step 7** -Cut out excess stabilizer.
Step 8 -Carefully remove the remaining stabilizer. I do not suggest submerging in water, as this may result in a puckered mess. Instead, you can use either Q tip, or for an expert solution use a “solvy-ball”… To learn more and create your own “solvy-ball” check out our tutorial on [**how to properly remove the water soluble stabilizer here**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-use-water-soluble-embroidery-stabilizer-topping-solvy/).
**Step 9** -Sew buckle to the ribbon. If you want to get fancy, I would suggest webbing.
**Step 10** -Attach velcro to tools, then attach to the belt.

### [Auto Digitizing Embroidery Software: How to Get Best Results](https://embroiderylegacy.com/auto-embroidery-digitizing-software/)
**Published:** August 11, 2025
**Author:** Embroidery Legacy
**Content:**
Many embroiderers struggle with stiff “bulletproof embroidery” when using auto-digitizing software. You click auto-digitize and expect the design to come out close to perfect, but that is rarely the case.
This is not because the software itself is flawed, but sometimes it needs the help of an expert – you. For those looking to expand their skills and knowledge of digitizing and take your embroidery to the next level, this article is for you.
We’ll explain auto digitizing vs. manual digitizing, when it is appropriate to use them, and what you can do to improve your use of both. First, let’s cover the basics.
## **What Is Auto Digitizing with Embroidery Software?**
**Embroidery auto digitizing software uses computing to capture graphics/design images and translate them into machine embroidery design files. The software will decide on the appropriate layers, stitch counts, colors, and more, based on the algorithms it uses to digitize a logo or graphic.**
Auto digitizing is used to save time and effort, but in doing so, it can cause structural problems with your designs. This is especially true when auto digitizing more complex designs (we’ll get to this shortly).
## **What Is Manual Digitizing with Embroidery Software?**
Manual digitizing is when the embroiderer uses embroidery software to manually translate an image or design into embroidery. The embroiderer gets to choose how the design will stitch out, in what order the layers will come together, stitch angles, and which colors to use.
> Learn more with our full article on [**What is Embroidery Digitizing?**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-what-is-embroidery-digitizing/)

Embroidery auto digitizing software can be great if used correctly and perhaps on simpler graphics, supplemented by manual digitizing skills. Manual digitizing skills always go a long way to help you get the quality results you want.
## **Does Auto Digitizing Embroidery Software Work?**
Yes and no. It depends on the complexity of the logo and graphic used and the operator’s skill. In the hands of a novice who doesn’t know better, embroidery auto digitizing software will seem to work wonders, but in the eyes of an experienced digitizer, the problems with some auto digitizing work couldn’t be more obvious.
Auto digitizing software does what it’s meant to do, but sometimes it doesn’t do things in a logical order or in a way that will translate well to embroidery. The software takes what it sees in the order it was presented, and digitizes it. It’s not capable of distinguishing the best angles or fills for a cleaner design. That’s your job.
> Unfortunately, auto-digitizing isn’t exactly AI powered yet. Notice all the jump stitches and trims in the auto digitized designs above. That leads to thick “bullet-proof” embroidery, thread breaks, and more time/frustration running the design on your machine.

Check out our YouTube video below as CEO of Embroidery Legacy John Deer goes further into detail comparing auto digitizing to manual digitizing. Watch as John corrects an auto digitized design:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1fo8LRTt6ys
## **What if I use High-Quality Images with my Auto Digitizing Embroidery Software?**
Good images will usually yield better results when hitting “auto-digitize,” but that’s not always the case. Even if you use a vector file format – a file that contains proper nodes, formatting, and resolution – it’s not always optimized for machine embroidery.
When an artist creates a design in CorelDraw or Adobe Photoshop, they don’t consider that the design needs to be embroidered in a specific order or sequence that only a machine embroiderer would understand.
Remember, embroidery is a physical medium whereas print is flat and doesn’t need to take into account layering.
The embroidery software will auto-digitize the design based on the layers the artist created in their graphic software, which might cause excessive stitch counts, incorrect [**push and pull compensation**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/push-pull-compensation-embroidery-digitizing/), too many jumps and trims, and image distortion.
Manual digitizing is a great skill to have when working with images you’d like to turn into stitches. It allows you to adjust, improve, and correct your designs. You’ll ultimately create a better piece, with less time spent fixing mistakes.

## **Should I Learn How To Digitize Embroidery Designs?**
The answer is yes. You don’t need to become the best digitizer in the world. You just need enough skills to make your job easier and your work better. You’ll find plenty of ways to use manual digitizing skills to save you time and hassle.
If hitting “auto-digitize” isn’t getting you the result you want, and most of the time it won’t without tweaking, there’s a good chance that digitizing it yourself or at least knowing how to fix the auto-digitized design with manual digitizing knowledge will help you achieve the results you want.
However, correcting auto-digitized work can take hours. Complex designs that are auto-digitized will require lots of editing to get a good result with your machine. You’ll have to adjust the image node by node, stitch by stitch, to not make it production friendly. The alternative is to digitize it yourself, using your image as a template. Believe it or not, in most cases, this is a much faster way to generate quality results.
> Watch our YouTube video below as John compares semi-automated and auto-digitizing tools to compare the results. Regardless of what tool you choose, to ensure quality results it will require editing the embroidery design file.

## **Which Graphics Software Should I Learn?**
None! You should learn to use [**embroidery digitizing software**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-software/digitizing/) When importing images or graphics into your digitizing software, you’ll be adjusting nodes and creating your own graphics within the software anyway for machine embroidery. There’s no need to learn graphics software to then import the image into a digitizing software and adjust it or re-digitize it all over again. It’ll save you stress from learning good digitizing software and creating your designs at the source, where any other graphic or file would ultimately end up.
### **Take Your Embroidery Skills To The Next Level**
We want you to become a great embroiderer, and to do that, you need to focus on developing the right skills. Having manual digitizing [**embroidery software**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-software/) knowledge is a must. We wanted to address embroidery auto-digitizing software to bring to attention that it’s a far cry from a be-all-end-all solution. If you’re going to become a skilled professional, learning to digitize is the way to go.
> Check out our [**Free Embroidery Digitizing 101 Cheat Sheet & Video Course**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-classes/digitizing-education/free-101-course/). It’ll teach you the essential theory that EVERY embroiderer should know to help you get the best embroidered results possible (whether you want to create your own designs or not).

### **The Digitizers Dream Course**
We are offering a course to supplement our excellent free resources. Imagine being able to digitize your own designs in minutes and with confidence. You can take graphics or designs, and instead of settling for “auto-digitize,” you can do it yourself.
The [**Digitizers Dream Course**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-classes/digitizing-education/) is designed to hold your hand every step of the way and get you past the learning curve quickly. There’s here’s nothing else quite like it in the industry and it’s taught in the major reputable digitizing brands. Having taught tens of thousands of embroiderers how to digitze, we even have a money-back guarantee! ## **Conclusion: Auto Digitizing Embroidery Software Works… If You Work It**
Although auto-digitizing may seem like a clean solution to getting your designs digitized quick, most of the time, it isn’t. Any software brand does the best it can to digitize the designs automatically, but they all require some human assistance, and in most cases, manual digitization.
That’s why we wanted to shed light on the situation. Even with high-quality vector files, auto-digitizing might not generate the best results. Having the skills to digitize designs and images manually, to at least edit & optimize the design you auto-digitize, is a must.
Remember, there is no need to learn to use a graphics software if you’ll be bringing images into a digitizing software anyways. You’d basically be creating the same design twice and wasting your valuable time.
If you decide to add digitizing to your arsenal of machine embroidery skills, we think you’ve made the right choice. It will push you to become a better embroiderer. Get started today with our [**Free Embroidery Digitizing 101 Cheat Sheet & Video Course**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-classes/digitizing-education/free-101-course/).

### [Satin Stitch Embroidery | How to Best Use this Stitch Type](https://embroiderylegacy.com/satin-stitch-embroidery-digitizing/)
**Published:** August 11, 2025
**Author:** Embroidery Legacy
**Content:**
The satin stitch is one of the three main embroidery stitch types (**[running stitch](https://embroiderylegacy.com/running-stitch-embroidery-digitizing/)**, satin, and fill stitches). It is the most reflective stitch type, and it’s used primarily for lettering, borders, and outlining objects. Because of the physical nature of this stitch, when embroidered, it has a concave nature and reflects light creating a dimensional effect that differs from print.
## What Is An Embroidery Satin Stitch?
Satin stitch is named for the effect it produces. It creates a lustrous shiny effect by layering threads side by side, making decorative stitching.
Satin stitch has a rich history; Japanese and Chinese embroidery used satin stitch to create lifelike embroidery. After the invention of the modern [embroidery machine](https://embroiderylegacy.com/what-is-the-best-embroidery-machine-for-a-home-business/), the satin stitch became the staple of [**embroidery fonts**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-fonts/) & lettering on garments, hats, and more.
> ***The satin stitch is a simple zig zag stitch.***
>
> *If you go back and forth using a machine (or round and round by hand with embroidery floss), it creates a smooth, lustrous object. When you blend, you get a 3D appearance. If you change the angles, you get amazing depth and contrast. In many cases, it can look like two colors!*

### How Does Satin Stitch Embroidery Work?
The satin stitch works by making a stitch on one side of a line and then moving the needle to the opposite spot. The stitch is locked in there, and then the needle returns to the next stitch, which is nestled against the first. Step by step, this creates a zig-zag appearance with straight stitches.
> *A satin stitch is simply a zig zag stitch in which the length (distance from each other) is very small, so the threads lay side by side.*

## Using Satin Stitches In Machine Embroidery
The satin stitch is less durable than shorter stitches (like the tatami stitch). It can easily be snagged or frayed, and when using silk or rayon, it is much more delicate and needs care. However, despite these limitations, you can use it in most of your embroidery.

The satin stitch is less durable than shorter stitches (like the tatami stitch). It can easily be snagged or frayed, and when using silk or rayon, it is much more delicate and needs care. However, despite these limitations, you can use it in most of your embroidery.
When creating [**embroidery designs**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-designs/) with [**embroidery digitizing**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-what-is-embroidery-digitizing/), underlay within a Satin stitch can be used to dramatize the concave nature that reflects light and creates a dimensional effect. The two properties that can be controlled are the stitch length or width of the repeating stitch (1 to 12mm) and the density (space between each duplicate stitch). The angle or direction of the stitch can also visually reflect light and aid in lengthening the throw of thread within very small satin stitch borders.
### Satin Stitch Embroidery Width Limits
The satin stitch can be used for lines, small objects, lettering, and many fills. It is not recommended to go below 1.5 mm and not over 10 mm.
If you are stitching a line below 1.5 mm, you will not enjoy the shiny surface. The needle will go back and forth and not have enough room to carry the decorative thread across the line.
For anything over 10 mm, your machine will not be able to process it. It will skip or tie off each stitch until the length goes below 10 mm. Most home machines have a limit of 10 mm. Many commercial machines can stitch up to 12 mm.

### [Schiffli Embroidery Machines & Freestanding Lace History](https://embroiderylegacy.com/schiffli-embroidery-machines-lace/)
**Published:** August 11, 2025
**Author:** Embroidery Legacy
**Content:**
We are going to jump into the “way-back machine” and take a trip to Switzerland. No, we’re not going for the chocolate or the skiing… we are there for something better. The embroidery!
There are many places of lace and embroidery production in Europe and the UK, but throughout this article, we will focus on Switzerland as it has a machine we’ve all heard of if we’ve watched enough of Embroidery Legacy videos or webinars.
Can’t guess? The Schiffli embroidery machine! We will talk a bit about the machine’s history, what it does, and why it was essential to the embroidery industry and the Deer family.
Part of [**the Deer’s Embroidery Legacy**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/) name is Legacy. There is a rich heritage of embroidery in the Deer family, starting with Schliffli machines in the 1950s.
Initially started by John Deer’s grandparents, The Deer’s Embroidery Legacy (then known as Dress Crest Embroidery) first began as a Schiffli loom embroidery factory creating lace for the bridal industry across North America. As the last schiffli master digitizer still alive and teaching in North America, John learned to “punch” (now known as digitizing) the manual patterns for these machines, and the whole family was part of the lace production.
So what is this machine, and why is it important to what we do now?
Ever seen a bridal gown? An embroidered pillowcase? Lace edging you buy at the store? You are already quite familiar with the product the machine produces even if you have not seen it.
## Lace Embroidery History
### Bobbitnet Netting
Let’s start with the granddaddy of lace-making machines. The first machine lace was made toward the end of the eighteenth century, but it was not until 1809 that John Heathcoat in England produced a wide net fabric that did not unravel when cut. This was called bobbinet (bobbin-net) netting and was created using several bobbins which wove back and forth diagonally through vertical warp threads on a loom. The result is a net with honeycomb-shaped holes.
If you need a mental picture of bobbinet, imagine the itchy, scratchy ballet tutus you wore as a child, Halloween costumes, or puffy stiff and uncomfortable tulle underskirts. Until the 1800s, this net was made by hand using bobbins and had limitations in width and quality.
This machine was so important as the netting for everything from wedding veils to drapery sheers could be made faster and wider! The machine would allow you to have a piece of 48-120 inches across.
Since the net was woven, if torn, it would not unravel, and you would have a hole that could be repaired. Variations on this are tulle netting (very fine and soft) and stiff nettings for underskirts. As time went on, though, woven cotton or silk bobbinet went out of favor for the “new” and “exciting” (and less expensive) polyester and nylon. Many of the nettings you currently find in stores are polyester or nylon, which are woven traditionally, stamped out, or fused. Netting is now made on computerized machines, but the weave and basic process are still the same.
Bobbinet Machines weighed around 6 tons and could have 4,300 or more bobbins to produce a fine honeycomb-shaped netting. These types of machines were made in 1853 and continued in daily production until the 1970s! Machines of this era were of high quality and design and were made to run for many, many years.
Okay, so we have bobbinet netting- what does that have to do with Schiffli lace? Well, you need a good base for the lace to hold its shape and remain soft and see-through for veils and lace edging. Bobbinet has been the standard base for Schiffli stitched lace until this day. Today it is available in cotton, polyester, nylon, and silk. The silk net is the very finest tulle, light, airy and delicate. So we have our netting base, now we are ready to stitch!
## The Schiffli Embroidery Machine
Schiffli machines got their start in 1863 in St Gallen, Switzerland, and were invented by Isaak Gröbli (1822-1917). Just for perspective- sewing machines got their start over 80 years earlier, in 1790! Created by Thomas Saint but later made famous by- of course- Isaac Merit Singer in 1851. The growth of machine-produced embroidery and lace took off in the 1870s with the advent of the Victorian age and industrial revolution.
### How does the Schiffli embroidery machine work?
Schiffli machines get their name from the boat-shaped shuttle (German, schiffli), which carries the bobbin thread, also known as the schiffli yarn. The Schiffli machine used two threads like a sewing machine, but the fabric is vertical. One thread on the front side (the needle) and one on the fabric’s backside (the bobbin). The first thread is twisted with the second thread on the backside to form a lock stitch like your sewing machine. Maybe this will help- imagine a massive machine with 80-100 sewing machines mounted sideways on it.
These machines are huge. Some 60 feet long, 1000 needles. It is a modern marvel! They could embroider on fabric, netting, and more. Eyelet lace, beautiful bridal lace, if you could imagine it, you could create it. Schiffli machines were capable of embroidering a piece of fabric 10 feet wide and many yards long.
Schiffli patterns were originally “traced” over a drawn design by an operator sitting to the left of the machine. He moved a long lever over the pattern, which had designated stopping points where he would click a handle signaling the machine to stitch one or more stitches. The information he “input” into the Schiffli machine was repeated by the needles- an average of 650-700 for a 10-foot wide piece of fabric. In other words- as he sat and traced a flower on his pattern- 600 or more little flowers would be stitched out at the same time. He worked the pattern with his left hand, and with his right he could engage and disengage the needles and move the fabric base.
So what is this magical handle? How is the pattern transferred to the needles? It is 1863, and there are no computers, no click and play! To solve this 1863 problem, we turn to the ancient Greek engineer Hero of Alexandria in 70 BC. He is often considered the greatest experimenter of antiquity and was a mathematician of great renown. He is the first to reference the Pantograph, a fantastic device to duplicate and reduce (or enlarge) a pattern exactly. It looks like four sticks screwed together, but it is much more than that. You can trace an original and enlarge or reduce it with amazing accuracy by having a fixed point. (By the way, any of you seamstresses and quilters… you can use this to enlarge patterns!)
The idea is still the same; taking one large design and transfer it to hundreds of small copies. The skilled job of the operator continued when working on larger unique designs. Still, it was eventually replaced by a punched paper strip which was fed into a reader much like a player piano for long strips of lace. (I have to note here that the paper strip was not new- it was used in Jacquard looms in 1808!)
Now, this is where John Deer and Embroidery Legacy’s history really gets interesting. Back in the 1970s when John Deer was only 17 years old, he apprenticed under a Swiss Schiffli master digitizer. His mentor (named Huntz) taught him the old-school theory and methods behind creating smooth-running embroidery designs one stitch at a time. Keep in mind that back then there was no “undo button” on a Schiffli machine. One wrong move and you could potentially ruin hundreds of embroidered items.
> Now although the technology behind creating these designs has changed, the old school theory and knowledge of how thread interacts with various fabric types has not. If you’d like to learn the time-tested theory behind creating custom embroidery designs, be sure to check out our [**Free Embroidery Digitizing 101: Cheat Sheet PDF & Video Course**.](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-classes/digitizing-education/free-101-course/).

When John speaks of punching or his work as a puncher and later Schiffli Master, he thought out designs, drew and planned them, and created the order in which the needles would stitch… All manually without software! This idea was transferred to the punched instructions for the machine. Eventually, computers took over this part of the job, but there would be no lace without a thought, an idea, and a Schiffli Master who knew the lace’s structure and design.
The Schiffli machine was complicated but, for the time, really automated! The crew was composed of 2-3 people, including the Schiflli Master Digitizer who drafted and traced the pattern (or feeding it in later) to be sewn out manually and watchers who walked the catwalk on the front of the machine, tending bobbins and needles.
To be considered a Schiffli Master, a student had to apprentice under another master for a minimum of 10 years! Why so long? Well, a Schiffli operator had to learn how to masterfully control things like density, underlay, stitch types (and much more), which would all need to be skillfully adjusted based on the weight/type of thread and the blend of fabric being embroidered on. Once again, there was no undo button. So if a single mistake was made, a factory would potentially have to throw out hundreds of pieces of embroidered goods.
If you watch any [**Embroidery Legacy videos**](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9mQiNJuVXtaVyvOcXhAWHg), you will see John’s mother climbing onto the walkway to check items on the machine. Please make sure to check out this wonderful family video from the Deer family archives to see the Schiffli machines worked by the Deer’s family.

## What Can I Take From Embroidery Lace History?
Oh, plenty! If you have not explored our [**Embroidery Legacy vintage freestanding lace designs**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-designs/free-standing-lace/), it is an absolute must! These designs were manually crafted one stitch at a time by Schiffli Masters working with the Schiffli machine in the 1950s. They were originally created to be stitched with rayon thread, which is much more delicate than polyester **(**[**click here to learn more about embroidery thread types**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-threads/)). These vintage designs are the real deal. They’re soft to the touch and beautifully delicate in nature… The way authentic lace should be.
In the 1990s when the mass production of embroidered goods moved overseas, John was forced to shut down his family’s 2 commercial embroidery factories. While doing this, John discovered the paper drafts of these vintage lace designs buried deep in the original factory’s archives. Given Embroidery Legacy started by creating freestanding lace for the wedding and bridal industry in the 1950s, John immediately knew that he had stumbled on something specials. A true piece of embroidery history. Years later, decades after these drafts were originally created and embroidered on Schiffli machines, John re-digitized these treasured designs into modern embroidery machine file formats to be embroidered on embroidery machines such as yours.
You will notice that the lace patterns are not exactly like regular embroidery designs. Schiffli machines were unique in that they can have longer lengths of thread in satin stitches, and they could create 3D effects by building up stitching layer by layer.
If you watch the lace patterns stitch out, there is a latticework structure stitched and then the decorative embroidery built on that. Much thought has to be given to the connectors between objects so that the finished lace will hang correctly and not break apart.

We want you to experience the quality of our lace designs. They will set a high bar of your future expectations when embroidering any lace design.
Lace is typically stitched out on net with rayon thread at a slow speed (300 spm) so that the result is soft and pliable. Of course, you can use polyester thread, but the product will be a little stiffer. But stitching on the net is not the only method using the Deer’s Embroidery Legacy patterns.
It sounds a bit harsh, but you may want to explore “chemical lace.” Historically, manufacturers in search of faster and more stunning designs began to use chemicals to treat a base fabric so that, after the lace had stitched, the treated fabric would dissolve. This left just lace, and the results were similar to bobbin lace produced by hand.
Of course, we have a modern, less drastic-sounding version… water soluble stabilizer. The lace made in this way is stunning, but the design must be carefully digitized with much thought to the underlying structure since there is no fabric left to hold it together.

### [Small Embroidery Fonts: 5 Tips on How to Get the Best Results](https://embroiderylegacy.com/small-embroidery-fonts-how-to-get-best-results/)
**Published:** August 11, 2025
**Author:** Embroidery Legacy
**Content:**
When you think you have gotten the hang of good solid block and cursive letter at a “normal” size, you find out there is a whole tiny world waiting to trip you up. But don’t worry; we are here to help you get the best results when embroidering small letters.
## What Are Tiny Embroidery Fonts, And Why Can They Be Difficult?
***What are tiny fonts?***
They are just how they sound; they are small. There are a handful of smaller fonts available for embroidery.
***What are they used for?***
They can be used in many ways, but the most common are logos or patches.
***What factors go into deciding to use them?***
You must consider the material used, the font, how many letters, and what size.
Customers or friends want what they see on their printed material. As embroiderers, we must gently educate them about which fonts to choose and which will not work.
## Complications With Small Embroidery Fonts
You guessed it. When embroidering such tiny fonts, you may encounter some problems.
- **Birds nests:** can be created when there are so many stitches in one place that the needle has a hard time returning to its upright position and the thread is trapped.
- **Hard to read:** the more stitches you have, the smaller they get, resulting in difficulty in reading them. Factor in the type of fabric you use. When using cotton and other fabrics which can shrink, the problem becomes worse.
- **Holes:** great on a golf course but not on your performance polo. Any time you have a lot of small stitches, say, in a circle, you run the risk of cutting a hole in your fabric.
## 5 Things to Remember When Using Tiny Embroidery Fonts
We talked about the *bad news. Is* there any *good news*? There is! You’ll be up and stitching in no time by making smart choices in your font, fabric, and stabilizer! Let’s discuss the different factors that can impact your stitch-out.
### 1. Fabric Types For Tiny Embroidery Fonts
Pique knits are thicker 3D knit that is breathable and used for many sport and performance shirts. Often called “Honeycomb” weaves, they are sometimes difficult to embroider because the stitches can sink into the fabric.
Soft and silky fabrics can also be tricky as they don’t have a lot of stability, and textured fabrics distort the letters. It is also best to avoid sheer fabrics, such as anything netting.
Remember, the more stable the fabric is, the easier it is to embroider—Woven materials that are well-stabilized work best for tiny fonts.

### 2. Tiny Embroidery Font Stabilizer & Underlay
When using small fonts, they must have underlay.
> *What is [**underlay in embroidery**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-digitizing-underlay-digitizing/)? It is the foundation of your embroidery design, there are different ways to apply it, but they all have the same objective: to bind your design together and minimize distortion. Learn more about underlay stitches for embroidery.*

>
> [Tweet](/)
Here are a few things to keep in mind with underlay regarding small fonts:
- A center-run underlay is best for tiny fonts and aids them in sitting on top of the fabric. You can use a zigzag or edge run with larger and thicker fonts.
- Knockdown stitches are a type of added underlay (do not get rid of your fabric stabilizer) which looks like a tatami stitch and will knock down nap and fluff of “fun” fabrics and towels.
- Never use edge run on small letters. There is not enough room for more.
> *Using an underlay and less density will improve- believe it or not, less is more! You will get a better result by using an underlay and not increasing the density over the normal for that font.*
>

When it comes to using a stabilizer, more stabilizer means better stitching. We would suggest using at least two layers.
> ***Tip:** When using a “no show” stabilizer, turn one of the stabilizer layers at an angle.*

### 3. Considerations About Letter Style
As a general rule when choosing or preparing [**artwork for embroidery digitizing**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-digitizing-artwork/); less detail = better result, especially when creating small designs.
That said, using swirl or bold fonts is always more fun, but when choosing small letter fonts, the very basic fonts turn out better! In this case, less is more.
You want to choose fonts with no serif or fancy features. Avoid serifs (little tails on older lettering styles), swirls, and curlicues.
> Tip: Choose block letters over cursive for a more readable small font.

**The smallest text legibly to be used is 4mm, but some 3mm are possible.** The smaller the size, the harder it will be to read clearly.
> *Remember that the font size uses the largest sizes (the capital letters) as a guide for the size- the lowercase letters are smaller.*
>

### 4. Needle & Thread Suggestions For Small Embroidery Fonts
When embroidering smaller fonts, we suggest trying a smaller needle size. Smaller needles leave smaller holes after penetrating the fabric.
Depending the material you embroider on will also influence which needle you should use. For **woven materials**, use sharp point needles as they pierce the fibers; **knit fabrics**, use ballpoint needles that go between the fibers and do not cut them.
> *Learn more about the [**embroidery needle**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-use-machine-embroidery-needles/) and the many components that make the embroidery machine run so smoothly.*

The [embroidery thread](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-threads/) size you use will also affect your results. 60-wt will come out nicer as you go smaller. It’s always best to try a sample before embroidering on your final garment to see how it works.
Below you will find some comparisons of 40 and 60-wt thread with 75/11 or 65/9 needles.
*We used a standard block font and did not alter it in any way to show what happens. These were done on cotton woven twill fabric with a medium tear-away stabilizer.*
You can see a difference between the regular 40-wt thread using a thinner needle.
Next, let’s see what happens with a thinner thread!
As you can see, there is a definite difference between the 40-wt and 60-wt.
> Combining a smaller needle and a smaller thread will improve your results. For a 65/9 needle, use a 60-wt thread.
>
> Author Name
>
> [Tweet](/)
As a guide: letters 5 mm and larger sew with a 75/11 needle; for 4 mm, you can use a 75/11 needle with 60 wt thread or a 65/9 needle with the same 60 wt.
We also suggest slowing down your machine! It is *very* important to work slowly. There is less rebound pulling, and the stitching will be more even. Whatever the extra time, it will be worth it as you’ll have better results.
### 5. Small Embroidery Font Density & Stitch Length
We suggest not altering the density of the micro font. Use the pre-programmed density digitized for the font. Density under 0.25mm leaves not enough fabric for the stitches to hold onto and will eventually create a hole. It is like playing musical chairs with ten people and only one chair.
You can try to increase the pull compensation a bit. This will beef up your letters but can also make the embroidery unreadable if you use too much.
We suggest leaving the stitch length to at least 1 mm, no smaller. Stitch length should *always* be set to at least 1 mm, and it’s always best to keep the stitch length from the default of that font.
The letter opening must be a minimum of 1 mm, or it will cut a hole. These include the centers of letters like “e,” etc.
## Important: The Tips Above Only Work if You Use Quality Embroidery Fonts
If you’re using finished keyboard embroidery font designs, remember that the [**embroidery digitizing**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-what-is-embroidery-digitizing/) behind them will have a bigger impact on your stitch out than anything else. The embroidery font you use for your next project, it can make or break your stitch-out.
All embroidery fonts are not created equal, so be sure to use high-quality embroidery fonts to give you the best results.

## Conclusion: Small Lettering With Good Results Is Possible
Embroidering small fonts *is* possible with patience and practice. Remember these key things when using tiny embroider fonts:
- Slow down your machine, resulting in less rebound pulling, and the stitching will be more even.
- Be sure to stabilize your fabric. The better the surface, the better the stitching!
- Choose the right fabric. Woven fabrics work best, but some fabrics will not work with small fonts (such as fleece, fluffy fabrics, knits, and sheer fabrics like netting and satin).
- The smaller the needle and the smaller the thread, the more clear your results.
- Choose the right font, don’t get crazy if you want the lettering to be legible.
Always do test stitch-outs and be patient until you get the result you want.

Stabilizers, Backings, and Patch Fabrics
One of the most important aspects of getting your patches to look and feel professional is the stabilizer you use. This product does exactly what it says – it stabilizes your fabrics to prevent puckering and other stitching flaws.
It would be best if you had the right stabilizer and patch-specific fabric to get a professional result. There are a few different options to choose from, so we will provide you with a list along with some tips and advice on how to properly use them, and which ones are the best.
## Patch Backing Options:
### 1. No-Show Mesh Fusible Backing (Not-bad)
**This cut-away backing has a heat press grid that creates a strong foundation for your patch** **stitch-out.** It is incredibly strong yet soft at the same time. This stabilizer needs to be fused to your fabric using an iron.
After the mesh is fused, you need to apply a spray adhesive to the back to bond it with whichever stabilizer you will be using to finish your project. The no-show mesh is a great option, but we have a better alternative for you to use that will save you a bit of hassle.
### 2. Tacky Patch Fusible Backing (Best Choice for Flawless Results)
This is a product that will improve your patches out of the box. The tacky patch fusible is similar to the no-show mesh fusible in strength. **The advantage of this stabilizer comes with reduced** **fraying and eliminating the need for spray adhesives.**
Heat-press the tacky patch fusible stabilizer onto your fabric of choice and then cut it out. Then simply peel off the paper backing and stick the patch onto your stabilizer with a running stitch outline without a sticky spray adhesive. This product will save you time and ensure a non-sticky patch.
## Embroidery Patch Stabilizer Options:
### 3. Tear-Away Stabilizer (Not-Bad)
**This is a good option if you’re looking for a stabilizer that is quick and easy to remove.** Again, the tear-away stabilizer does exactly what it says – it tears away. After you’ve sprayed your fusible mesh backing with spray adhesive, or if you’re using our tacky patch fusible backing, stick it within your running stitch outline on the tear-away stabilizer in the hoop.
After you’ve completed embroidering your patch, simply tear-away the excess stabilizer by hand. Be sure to use tweezers or a soldering iron to remove any hard to get, leftover pieces of stabilizer. Although this is a good option, we have better options for you further below.
### 4. Water Soluble Stabilizer (Good)
We prefer to use this stabilizer over the tear-away option for a cleaner finish. Just like the tear-away stabilizer, glue your patches to a running stitch outline on this product. After the embroidery is complete, cut away the excess stabilizer.
Dip your finger in some water and run it along the edges of the patch to “melt-away” any excess stabilizer. **This process usually removes unwanted stabilizer quicker and more effectively than** **the tear-away option.** However, the next option is our preferred product in terms of stabilizers.
### 5. Prep-Patch Film (Best Choice for Flawless Results)
**This film is extremely easy to work with and provides a very strong and firm foundation for your** **patches.** Just as you would with your other stabilizers, stick your fabric with fused backing down on a running stitch outline embroidered onto the film. Be sure to have the smooth side facing up and the dimpled side facing down.
After your patch embroidery is finished, “pop” out your patch. You can remove film from your patch by ripping it away or by using heat. You can also leave the film on as it will help create a firm platform for your patch.
This film works best with poly materials and fabrics. It is a 100-micron film which is the perfect foundation for patches.
## Embroidery Patch Materials:
### 6. Patch Backed Poly Twill (Best Choice for Flawless Results)
You really can use a variety of different fabrics for your custom patches (too many to list), yet our fabric of choice is Poly Twill with Buckram. Although the name of this product is a mouthful, the product itself is fantastic. This material was specifically designed with patches in mind. We wanted to create a fabric that gets you commercial patch quality results, and so we did.
Patch Backed Poly Twill has a heavy hold and weight due to its diagonal weave. It’s absolutely ideal for patches. **What makes our Poly Twill truly special is that we have added buckram for** **extra stabilization between the twill and PVC,** whereas general twill suppliers only offer PVC backing. This adds extra stabilization, ensuring your patches lay flat and have a stiff authentic patch feel. You can feel the difference when comparing any old fabric to this material.
## Embroidery Patch Extras to Ensure Beautiful Patches:
### 7. Mylar Embroidery Magic Sheets
If you want to **give your patches extra shine and flare while at an affordable cost and lowering your fill-stitch count**, Mylar is the way to go. Mylar is a partly reflective film that can be placed directly over your empty patch canvas during the fill process, or any stage of embroidery you desire for a rich, shiny look.
Place a small square of Mylar over your patch before your preferred stitch-out and tape it down on either side to hold it in place. When your design is finished, easily peel away any excess Mylar remaining.
> *Interested in trying Mylar in your own custom embroidery patches? You can purchase your own [**Mylar sheets**](https://www.amazon.com/shop/johndeersembroiderylegacy/list/1RK0DV0RZME7H?ref_=aip_sf_list_spv_ofs_mixed_d) to add a sparkly sheen to your next project and to view our tutorial on how to use it.*

### 8. Post-Patch Iron On Seal
For a true professional finish, the post-patch iron-on seal is a must. **This product allows you to** **turn any patch into an iron-on patch.** Not only that, **it leaves the back of your patch looking shiny** **and finished, with no trims or rough surfaces** -especially great for those patches using multiple colors.
*Before using post-patch iron-on seal*
*After using post-patch iron-on seal*
The double-sided heat-activated seal allows you to apply patches to notoriously difficult garments or caps with ease. This final step of sealing your patch will create a sought-after, professional patch that you can be thrilled to show your friends, family, or clients.
After you finish embroidering your patch, heat-press your post-patch iron-on seal onto the back of your patch. When it has cooled slightly, peel off the paper backing to reveal your shiny, finished seal. We recommend finishing all of your patches with a seal to ensure durability when laundered and to give your patch a smoother and firmer feel.
### 9. Ready-Made Embroidery Patches
A great time-saving alternative to creating your own patches from scratch are ready-made patches. **If you know you will be working with patches consistently or exclusively, this is a great** **option for you to instantly increase your profits.**
### 10. Spray Adhesive
As we have mentioned a few times, spray adhesive is necessary if you haven’t ordered any tacky patch fusible backing. **You’ll need it to stick your patches down to your stabilizer before** **the embroidery process.**
There are various different types of spray adhesives, and most of them will do the trick. We recommend purchasing some on amazon or your preferred supply dealer. This is a product that is essential in your supply cupboard as a custom machine embroidery expert to get the best results.
### 11. Kai HK0445 Scissors
To get a close, professional cut on your left over threads and stabilizers, you need the right tool for the job. Any old pair of kitchen scissors won’t “cut it” – pardon the pun. As a professional you are looking to deliver professional products, and you need professional tools.
The Kai HK0445 Scissors are an **excellent all-round trimming scissor made from hardened steel** **sporting a slightly curved edge that allows you to get nice and close to those left-over pieces of** **fabric**. They are specifically designed for cutting away excess stabilizer.
> *Interested in using the right scissors for professional looking patches?

## Conclusion: Use The Right Supplies For Professional Patch Results
Remember to start with your fusible backing. If you’re using invisible fusible mesh, be sure to purchase spray adhesive. If you prefer to work without the mess and extra spray adhesives, be sure to use tacky patch fusible backing to ensure you still get quality results.
Your next set of supplies should consist of good stabilizers. Although common and easy to use, tear-away stabilizer is better replaced by wash-away stabilizer, but ultimately, prep patch film is your best option and will give you incredible results.
If a good fabric is what you are after, we highly suggest to give the patch backed poly twill a try. As mentioned before, it is designed specifically for work with embroidery patches, to deliver the best results as far as fabric goes with extra stabilization. The multicolor choices are a perk.
Finally, to finish your patches, we recommend our post patch iron on seal. If you really want to stand out with your embroidery patches, this final seal will give your patches the professional edge that will set them apart from the competition, while also using the heat-activation to apply to garments with ease.
And as always, if you want to save time and re-invest it into your hobby or business, try ready-made embroidery patches. With various shapes to choose from and a guaranteed placement process, there is nothing more time saving and professional than this option.
We know that with these products, supplies and knowledge, you’ll be producing your own amazing patches with little stress in no-time.

### [Embroidery Digitizing Terms and Definitions Made Simple (2026 Glossary)](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-digitizing-terms-and-definitions/)
**Published:** March 23, 2026
**Author:** John Deer
**Content:**
Embroidery digitizing comes with its own language, and for beginners, those terms can feel confusing or overwhelming. This glossary explains the most important embroidery terms in plain English. It helps you follow tutorials, understand software settings, and know why designs stitch the way they do.
This page is a **reference**, not a step-by-step tutorial. Each definition explains what the embroidery term means and why it matters, without replacing full lessons or training.
> This glossary helps you understand what’s happening under the needle. Use it when you’re learning digitizing, reviewing a design file, or following our **[Free Digitizing 101 Course. ](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-classes/digitizing-education/free-101-course/ "Free Digitizing 101 Course. ")**
## **Core Embroidery Digitizing Concepts**
### **Embroidery Digitizing**
Embroidery digitizing uses embroidery software to create stitch instructions that an embroidery machine can read and sew. It focuses on building machine-friendly designs that stitch cleanly, run efficiently, and produce professional embroidery results.
### **Digitizing Theory**
Digitizing theory refers to the time-tested rules that explain how thread, fabric, needles, and tension behave during embroidery. Understanding theory helps prevent issues like distortion, puckering, gaps, and misaligned outlines that software alone cannot fix.
### Machine-Friendly Designs
A machine-friendly design is digitized to run smoothly on an embroidery machine. Proper sequencing, minimal jumps, and efficient trims reduce thread breaks, improve stitch quality, and save production time.
### Soft Embroidery
Soft embroidery describes a finished design that feels flexible and integrated into the fabric rather than stiff or heavy. Achieving soft embroidery depends on correct density, proper underlay, clean pathing, and avoiding unnecessary stitch buildup.
### Stitch-Intensive (Bulletproof) Designs
A stitch-intensive, or “bulletproof,” design contains too many stitches layered on top of each other. This often happens when the default density isn’t adjusted. The result is stiff embroidery, thread breaks, and lower overall quality.
## Stitch Types Used in Embroidery Digitizing
Every embroidery design is built on stitch types. In embroidery digitizing, stitch types control detail, coverage, texture, and durability. Most digitized designs use only a few core stitch types, even though software offers many options.
### Running Stitch
A **[running stitch](https://embroiderylegacy.com/running-stitch-embroidery-digitizing/)** is the most basic stitch type in embroidery digitizing. It consists of single straight stitches and is commonly used for:
- Fine details
- Outlines
- Placement lines
- And connecting elements within a design
Stitch length plays a key role in how clean and smooth a running stitch appears.
### **Satin Stitch**
A **[satin stitch ](https://embroiderylegacy.com/satin-stitch-embroidery-digitizing/)**is created when the thread passes back and forth across an area to form a smooth, solid column of stitches. Satin stitches are commonly used for:
- Borders
- Lettering
- And shapes where a bold, polished appearance is needed
Width, density, and direction all influence how well a satin stitch performs.
### **Fill Stitch**
A **[fill stitch](https://embroiderylegacy.com/the-ultimate-machine-embroidery-fill-stitch-guide/)** is designed to efficiently cover large areas of a design. Instead of tightly packed stitches, fills use longer stitch lengths to create coverage while maintaining flexibility. Proper fill stitching prevents stiffness and distortion, helping garments hold up through wear and washing.
### **Tatami Stitch**
A tatami stitch uses a brick-like, woven fill pattern. You can adjust the direction and spacing to control texture and visual flow. Digitizers use tatami stitches for backgrounds and large shapes that need even coverage.
> For more information on stitch types and when to use them, check out our [**Embroidery Stitch Type guide.**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-digitizing-types-of-stitches/)
## **Stitch Properties and Stitch Controls**
Stitch properties are the settings that control how stitches behave when sewn onto fabric. In embroidery digitizing, these properties influence stitch quality, coverage, flexibility, and a design’s performance during production. Understanding what these settings mean helps you recognize potential problems before a design ever reaches the machine.
### **Stitch Length**
Stitch length refers to the distance between needle penetrations as the needle moves in and out of the fabric. Stitch length affects how smooth, durable, and machine-friendly a design is. Stitches that are too short or too long can cause quality and performance issues.
### **Minimum Stitch Length**
Minimum stitch length is the shortest distance allowed between needle penetrations. Extremely short stitches can cause stitch-intensive areas, thread breaks, and unnecessary stress on the machine. Maintaining safe minimum stitch lengths helps embroidery run more smoothly.
### **Maximum Stitch Length**
Maximum stitch length is the longest distance a stitch can span without causing issues. Overly long stitches can snag on wearable items. On some machines, they can also trigger automatic trims and disrupt stitch flow.
### **Density**
Density is the spacing between stitches within a design. It controls how much thread covers the area and plays a major role in softness and flexibility. Adjust density for the fabric type and laying to avoid stiff, “bulletproof” embroidery.
### **Stitch Direction**
Stitch direction describes the angle at which stitches run within an object. Direction affects texture, light reflection, and how stitches interact with fabric tension. Thoughtful stitch direction contributes to cleaner designs and better visual results.
### **Stitch Penetration**
Stitch penetration refers to each point where the needle enters and exits the fabric. The number and placement of penetrations influence fabric stability and distortion. Excessive penetrations in a small area can weaken fabric and reduce embroidery quality.
## **Underlay Stitches and Stitch Foundations**
**[Underlay stitches](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-digitizing-underlay-digitizing/)** form the foundation of an embroidery design. Although they are not meant to be seen, underlay plays a critical role in:
- Stabilizing fabric,
- Improving coverage,
- And helping visible stitches appear clean and consistent.
Proper underlay supports stitch quality and reduces distortion across many fabric types.
### **Underlay**
Underlay is a layer of stitches placed beneath the visible stitches in an embroidery design. It helps stabilize the fabric and secure the stitching area. It also creates a foundation that helps top stitches sit smoothly and form clean edges.
### **Center-Run Underlay**
Center-run underlay consists of a single running stitch placed through the center of an object. It helps to stabilize narrow areas and provide light support beneath satin stitches without adding additional bulk.
### **Edge-Run Underlay**
Edge-run underlay is placed along the outer edges of an object. It helps define clean borders and acts as a support wall. This allows the top stitches to form sharper, more consistent edges during embroidery.
### **Zigzag Underlay**
Zigzag underlay uses back-and-forth stitches across an object to add stability and coverage support. Digitizers use it to prevent fabric movement and improve stitch appearance as stitch areas widen.
### **Double Zigzag Underlay**
Double zigzag underlay adds a layer of zigzag support beneath the visible stitches. This underlay adds extra support for larger or wider stitch areas that need more support.
### **Underlay Direction**
Underlay direction refers to the angle at which underlay stitches are laid beneath the design. Direction stabilizes the fabric and controls how top stitches sit. It improves coverage and helps reduce distortion.
## **Distortion and Compensation Terms**
Distortion occurs when embroidery behaves differently on fabric than it appears on screen. Understanding distortion and compensation terms helps explain why shapes shift, outlines misalign, and stitch coverage changes during embroidery. These concepts are central to digitizing theory and apply to nearly every design.
### **Distortion**
Distortion occurs when stitches shift on the fabric. Thread tension and fabric behavior pull or stretch stitches. Causing the design to misalign from how it looks in the software.
### **Pull Compensation**
Pull compensation is an adjustment used to account for stitches pulling inward as thread tension tightens during embroidery. Wider stitches tend to pull more, and compensation helps maintain the intended shape and coverage of a design.
### **Push Compensation**
Push compensation is the outward movement that occurs at open ends of designs, such as the tops and bottoms of letters. As stitches pull inward, the material can push outward at open areas. This can change the shape and alignment if you don’t account for it.
> Learn more about **[Push & Pull Compensation](https://embroiderylegacy.com/push-pull-compensation-embroidery-digitizing/)** with our beginner-friendly guide.
### **Fabric Tension**
Fabric tension refers to the forces created by the top thread and bobbin thread as stitches form. Balanced tension allows stitches to lie flat. Improper tension can increase distortion, affect registration, and reduce overall stitch quality.
## **Registration, Pathing, and Design Flow**
Registration, pathing, and design flow describe how different parts of an embroidery design align and stitch in sequence. These concepts explain why some designs stitch smoothly and accurately, while others jump randomly, misalign, or require excessive trims.
### **Registration**
Registration refers to how accurately different parts of an embroidery design line up when stitched. Good registration means outlines, fills, and details align cleanly, while poor registration results in gaps, overlaps, or misaligned elements.
### **Pathing & Mapping**
**[Pathing](https://embroiderylegacy.com/pathing-design-embroidery-digitizing/)** is the stitch route the embroidery machine follows during production, while mapping is the visual planning process that determines that route. Together, they help the design stitch logically, reduce unnecessary movement, and maintain consistent registration.
### **Travel Stitch**
A travel stitch is a low-visibility stitch used to move from one part of a design to another without trimming the thread. Often hidden beneath other stitches to help maintain a clean appearance.
### **Sequencing**
Sequencing refers to the order in which objects, colors, and stitch elements are sewn. Proper sequencing helps maintain registration, reduces unnecessary trims, and supports smooth, machine-friendly embroidery.
## **Trims, Jumps, and Production Efficiency**
Trims, jumps, and production efficiency relate to how smoothly and efficiently an embroidery design runs on a machine. These concepts don’t change how a design looks on screen, but they strongly affect:
- Stitch time
- Machine wear
- Overall embroidery quality
### **Trim**
A trim is a machine command that cuts and ties off the thread before moving to another area of a design. Trims are sometimes necessary, but excessive trims slow down production and interrupt smooth stitch flow.
### **Jump Stitch**
A jump stitch is a length of thread that connects two separate areas of a design without trimming. The machine creates jump stitches when it moves between objects. They can affect the design’s appearance and add cleanup time.
### **Unnecessary Trims**
Unnecessary trims are extra trim commands caused by poor design planning or inefficient pathing. These trims increase stitch time, reduce efficiency, and can contribute to rough or inconsistent embroidery results.
### **Production Efficiency**
Production efficiency describes how well a digitized design runs on an embroidery machine with minimal stops, trims, and slowdowns. Efficient designs stitch faster, reduce machine stress, and produce more consistent results over time.
## **Software and Workflow Terms**
Software and workflow terms describe how digitized designs are created, stored, and prepared for embroidery machines. These definitions explain common file and setting terms without focusing on specific tools or step-by-step software instructions.
### **Native Files**
A native file is the original, fully editable file created within embroidery digitizing software, such as JDX or EMB formats. Native files retain:
- Object data
- Stitch properties
- Settings
Making them essential for:
- Editing
- Resizing
- Adjusting a design in the future.
### **Machine File**
A machine file is a stitch-ready file format used by an embroidery machine to sew a design. Machine files contain stitch instructions but do not retain editable object information, which limits future design changes.
Common machine file formats correspond to specific embroidery machine brands, as shown below:
**Machine File Format****Common Machine Brands**DSTTajima, Brother (Commercial), Basundan, SWF, Melco, PoolinPESBrother, Baby LockJEFJanomeHUSHusqvarna VikingVP3Husqvarna Viking, PfaffEXPMelcoXXXSingerPCSPfaffSEWJanome (older models)> Understand **[Machine Embroidery File Formats](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-machine-embroidery-file-formats/)** with our complete guide.
### **Fabric Recipes**
Fabric recipes are preset groups of stitch settings designed for specific fabric types. They automatically apply appropriate properties, such as density, underlay, and compensation, to help designs stitch more reliably across different materials.
### **Default Settings**
Default settings are the standard property values applied by embroidery software when a new design or object is created. They provide a starting point, but digitizers adjust them for fabric type, stitch layering, and design needs.
### **Property Settings**
Property settings are adjustable parameters that control how stitches behave, including density, stitch length, direction, and compensation. These settings work together to determine stitch quality, flexibility, and performance.
## **Why Understanding Digitizing Terms Matters**
Learning embroidery digitizing terms isn’t about memorizing definitions. When you understand what’s happening under the needle, and the key terms make sense. You’ll be able to spot problems early and judge design quality with confidence.
This knowledge helps you create cleaner embroidery, reduce production issues, and communicate more effectively with digitizers or software tools. It also allows you to use embroidery software with intention, rather than relying on default settings and guesswork.

**Step 1** -Embroider your fabric with your daisy design, square up your fabric. In this case, our center is a 12″ square.
**Step 2** -Protect your embroidered piece, serge, or over-edge stitch around the outside.
Here you can see the edges have been serged, and the thread end is tied off.
**Step 3** -Center your embroidered piece onto the other fabric for the front of your pillow. For a 16″ pillow form, your larger square should be 17″, giving you a ½” seam allowance. For added stability, you can also serge the outside edge of your larger square.
**Step 4** -Use a basic zigzag stitch to sew your embroidered piece to the larger square.
**Step 5** -Add a ⅞” ribbon trim around the centerpiece. To cover your zigzag stitching and help keep your trim straight, mark a ½” border around your center square. Extend the lines past the corners so you can see where to pivot your stitching.
Instead of joining the trim in the middle bottom of the center square, hide the ends in the bottom left corner. Pin the ribbon along your marking line on the first side, leaving about ¼” extra at the beginning of your seam to turn over.
**Step 6** -Turn under the beginning edge of your ribbon, lining up the folded edge just slightly inside the marking line. Start stitching close to the outside edge of the ribbon and continue until you reach the first corner.
**Step 7** -When you approach the corner, stop stitching when you reach the second edge marking line. Raise the presser foot and pivot your piece.
**Step 8** -Line up the ribbon along the marking line and pin in place. Carefully fold the ribbon corner out of the way and continue stitching along the outer edge to the next corner. Follow the same procedure for the third corner, and stitch the fourth side of the ribbon, stopping 2-3″ from the end, leaving the needle down.
**Step 9** -At the last corner, the needle should be down about 3″ from the corner. Trim the end of the ribbon about 1″ past your corner. Fold the ribbon back along the edge of the ribbon on your beginning edge.
Finish stitching to the end and backtack the seam end.
**Step 10** -Trim a small amount of the underside of the ribbon at an angle.
**Step 11** -Fold the end of the ribbon under, creating a 45° mitered corner. Pin in place and continue pinning the inside edge of the ribbon along all four sides.
**Step 12** -At each corner, fold the ribbon under, creating a mitered corner and pin in place.
Instead of starting your stitching directly on the first corner, move a few inches past the corner and start your seam. This will help conceal the beginning and end of the seam.
**Step 13** -When you reach each corner, leave the needle down, raise the presser foot, stitch along the mitered edge to the corner, and then reverse the stitch back to the inner corner. Leave the needle down, raise the presser foot and pivot the piece, then continue stitching.
**Step 14** -When you’ve finished, you will have four beautifully mitered corners, and the beginning and end of your trim will be hidden in a corner.
**Step 15** -This is how the front of your pillow should look. Add an 17″ square backing piece, stitch ½” seam allowances, and use a 16″ pillow form to complete your project.
**Step 16** -Voila! You’ve created your personalized pillow.
## Conclusion: Embroider Your Own Custom Pillow
Now that you know how easy creating your own custom decorative pillowcases is, why would you ever need to buy another store-made one? Creating something to brag about that perfectly accents your home décor and is budget-friendly is a no-brainer! What are you waiting for? Start some new pillow décor!

### [Best Kept Secrets On How To Maintain An Embroidery Machine](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-do-embroidery-machine-maintenance/)
**Published:** August 11, 2025
**Author:** Embroidery Legacy
**Content:**
Machine embroidery can be fun and productive and lets you personalize projects beautifully. Machines can help unleash creativity, but they can be expensive. To keep reliability and costs down, it is important to take care of them. So what type of maintenance should we practice for the best results?
We take preventative measures to stay healthy. This includes exercising regularly and eating vegetables. Why not take the same approach when it comes to our machines? We can ensure they remain healthy and run smoothly.
Review the top maintenance tips to keep your embroidery machine lasting longer and performing better.
## Differences Between Home and Commercial Embroidery Machines
Both home and commercial embroidery machines embroider, but there are a few maintenance differences.
A home machine is easy to use. It does not allow users to access its interior.
Maintenance on these machines should be performed by a service technician trained on that particular machine. Do not attempt to access the electronic areas of the machine. Stick to the routine maintenance outlined in the manual. It is best to follow these instructions.
> *Learn more about the [**best embroidery machines**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/what-is-the-best-embroidery-machine-for-a-home-business/) for your home and business.*
>
> Author Name

> [Tweet](/)
Commercial machines are designed differently; in commercial settings, a trained technician usually manages all the maintenance and knows how to access areas of the machine needing work.
The sensitive electronic areas of the machine are located away from the moving and oily parts and are not touched. Operators who purchase commercial machines learn how and when to oil, adjust, and clean.
## Top Embroidery Machine Maintenance Tips
Practice these maintenance tips for best-embroidered results.
### Thread & Lint Removal
Whenever you see a thread breaking or a stray thread, please remove it. Short and longer bits of thread can get trapped in the bobbin race (where the bobbin sits) or your bobbin case.
> *You can use a stiff brush (like a makeup or paint brush) to whisk away little threads and dust.*
>
> Author Name

> [Tweet](/)
We highly suggest not using compressed air or blowing into the machine. Compressed air appears to be effective. However, it can push dirt and threads into the machine, making them more difficult to remove. Blowing with your mouth is gentler, but your breath is moist, and moisture and embroidery machines do not go well together.
### Keep Your Embroidery Machine Bobbin Case Clean
The bobbin case is the source of many tension problems. These problems can usually be resolved easily with a business card or non-waxed dental floss! (Waxed floss leaves a wax residue that attracts more dirt.)
Be careful not to bend the tension spring (the flap), or you will not have a happy machine!

### Oiling Your Embroidery Machine
Home machines are not designed to be oiled like their bigger cousins, the commercial machines.
The only recommended lubricating areas are listed in your user manual. Usually, the bobbin race is the only place you should consider lubricating since that is the place with the most friction. Do not attempt to open the machine to oil.
We sound like a broken record, but *always* consult your owner’s manual before applying oil. Some newer machines only require a little oiling if your machine is serviced regularly. Depending on your machine, oiling too much can damage the eclectic components of the machine.
Oil your embroidery machine only with oil provided with the machine or an oil indicated for a sewing machine. Never (*ever*) use WD-40, salad oil, motor oil, silicone, or others. They may help at first but can have negative results on your machine running.
Commercial machines do like their oil! Most commercial machines have a schedule for oiling. You should apply a drop of oil to your bobbin race after removing the bobbin case each time you change bobbins. Many machines will have oil ports, which will be color-coded daily/weekly/monthly to make it easy for you.
### Prevent Dirt and Dust Build Up
Keep your machine free of dust and dirt. A nightly cover reduces dust bunnies and other debris from getting trapped in your machine parts.
Don’t have a machine cover? Not to worry, even a clean towel or old sheet will work.
### Servicing Your Embroidery Machine
Do you know how servicing your car helps keep it going? Servicing your machine is the same! Having a service center or a technician you trust is as good as an honest mechanic. A good rule of thumb is yearly or every 1,500 to 2,000 hours of use.
Your manual will tell you what maintenance needs to occur, and you can also find information on your machine’s website.
The technician will perform several tasks during a service. They will update the firmware and software, clean and check the machine, and test it. This will determine if any areas need attention. The maintenance cost varies, but protecting your costly investment is worth it in the long run.
### Be Gentle With Your Machine
Treat your machine like a baby- nurture it, and don’t be rough! Embroidery machines are designed to be tough. However, their sensitive electronics and small parts are not built to withstand pliers, screwdrivers, or compressed air.
If you have issues with broken needles or items deep inside the machine, consult a certified machine tech or service center. Better to be out of the sewing room for a few days than down a broken machine for weeks or longer.
### Use Embroidery Adhesive Sprays The Right Way
Many of us use a lot of tacky spray during embroidery projects. Ensure you use sprays specifically created for embroidery (these disappear after 3-5 days).
Remember to never spray near your machine! Remove your hoop and spray in a different area away from your machine and hoops.

### Suggested Embroidery Machine Needles
Always use the suggested needle for your machine, which can be found in your machine manual. Choosing the wrong size can cause breakage and damage to your needle plate or hook, and you could ruin a costly garment. Give the machine what it wants and needs, and it will give you beautiful embroidery.

Change your needles regularly to keep them clean and sharp and prevent gumming up your garments.
### Use Proper Power Protection On Your Machine
Power protection isn’t something we normally think about. You would hate for the sensitive electronics in your machine to be severely damaged by power surges.
Ensure your machine is plugged into a surge protector to prevent damage from power surges and blackouts.
## Conclusion: Machine Maintenance Is Key
We’ve given you information to get you started on your embroidery machine wellness plan, but you can continue! Here are a few takeaways for you to put into play:
- Keep your machine clean, and remember to cover it when not used.
- Don’t manhandle your machine; at the first sign of problems, call a certified technician or repair center.
- Always read your manual and remember to follow daily, monthly, and yearly suggested maintenance for best and long-term results.

### [8 Amazing and Eye-Catching Ways to Display Machine Embroidery](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-display-machine-embroidery/)
**Published:** August 11, 2025
**Author:** Embroidery Legacy
**Content:**
You just finished your gorgeous embroidered stitch out…. It turned out BEAUTIFULLY! But it’s not on a shirt, cap, or sweatshirt. You still want everyone to enjoy this amazing stitch out. What to do?
We’re taking a step into the art gallery today, folks! Let’s discuss how to frame or display your embroidery while also talking about considerations to take and ideas for framing. The gallery is open, come on in!
## Types of Machine Embroidery To Display
Machine embroidery is everywhere, but often we think of it as wearable art, not gallery art. We were hoping you could consider other ways to display and enjoy your embroidery stitch outs. Let’s discuss several types of machine embroidery to be displayed:
- **Flat embroidery:** the most common kind. It seems like all embroidery is flat, right? Well, it isn’t! Whether 2D (flat) or 3D (puffed for structured), it starts flat and then is shaped from there.
- **Puffed embroidery**: includes [**puff stuff**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/product/3d-embroidery-puff-stuff/), [3d puffy foam embroidery](https://embroiderylegacy.com/3d-puffy-foam-embroidery-digitizing-tutorial/), quilting, trapunto, and more.
- [**Lace embroidery**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-designs/free-standing-lace/): lace collars, inserts in shirts, handkerchief edges, or napkins, but also lace textile pieces just for display
- **3D embroidery ([In the hoop projects](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-designs/in-the-hoop/))**: ornaments, centerpieces, or 3D flower bouquets!
## 8 Ways to Display Machine Embroidery
There are many ways to display your embroidery, but first, you must decide where to display it. Will it be on a wall? In the sun? Near curious fingers?
Look at your space and think about how it would look and if that is the best place to display it. One way to imagine the area is to take a photo of the space and overlay a picture of your embroidery. Is it too large? Too small? It is better to invest a little more time imagining it in the space rather than cutting or altering the work only to find out you wanted it displayed differently elsewhere.
After finding the perfect space, it’s time to frame your stitch out. Here are some suggestions and tips for different kinds of framing.
### Framing Machine Embroidery In An Embroidery Hoop
Many people love using an embroidery hoop as a quaint way to frame. It’s affordable and offers a lot of possibilities but also some nice perks. You can remove the embroidery to launder or alter, but you’ll want to be careful when re-hooping.
To frame in a bamboo (or another type of material) embroidery hoop, lay the embroidery face down on a flat surface and place the inside of the hoop (the part with no tension screw) on top. Either use a marking pencil or pins to create a circle 2 inches larger than the inside hoop and sew a basting stitch around the marked circle to create a “purse-string”.
When you have rejoined the beginning of your circle, pull the purse string tight and tie it with a knot. The excess fabric will be gathered on the inside of the hoop circle and will not show. With the hoop right side up (embroidery facing you) place the outside hoop ring in place and tightened.
### Framing Machine Embroidery In A Photo Frame
Framing your embroidery stitch out in a purchased photo frame is really easy! Purchase the frame you want and use the included backing to support your embroidery.
> Please keep in mind that cardboard backings contain a lot of acid, and if you leave this in the frame for a long time, the acid can eventually damage the fabric and stitching. There are archival mats (acid-free) that are more expensive, but you may wish to invest.

To frame, take the backing out of the frame and set it aside. Lay the embroidery face down on a flat surface and place the backing board on the embroidery. Using pins at each corner or a marking pencil, mark the four corners and check if the alignment is correct from the front.
> Take into account the thickness of the fabric! You may need to use a slightly larger frame or trim the backing board to allow the frame to assemble correctly. You can also trim the corners (not too close!) to reduce the triangle of fabric in each corner and allow you to get the board in.

Now to secure it! Remove the board and give it a light spray of fabric tack or fabric adhesive spray (spray the board, not the fabric) and place it face down on the fabric, making sure to press evenly. Remember that this is a permanent framing choice, so consider your fabric, the design, and the material before you commit.

Place the board-backed embroidery in the frame and tape over the edges. Trim as much fabric away from the back as you can, but not less than 1 inch from the edge, and secure excess with tape. Place the embroidery in the frame against the glass and secure the back. Hang it up and enjoy!
### How To Display Machine Embroidery Between Glass Panes
Floating or suspending embroidery between two glass panes is a distinctive way to display your art! All-glass frames are available online, but you can create your own with two pieces of glass (the same size), a roll of black or other colored tape, and a hanger. (By the way, this is an *excellent* way of displaying embroidered lace!)
Clean the glass and lay your embroidery down. Place the other pane of glass on top and secure with scotch tape a piece on each side to temporarily hold. Work one side at a time using black or other color tape, tape lengthwise along each side, and remove your temporary scotch tape as you go. You can use a double-stick hanger on the “back” or display it on a stand.
### Other Types Of Display Frames For Machine Embroidery
- **Shadow boxes** are perfect for 3D embroidery- they are available in many sizes and styles and come with instructions on how to assemble!
- **Banners and Banner stands –** You can create an inexpensive banner holder with a dowel and two wooden balls.
Simply sew a pocket on the top and bottom of your embroidered piece (make sure to finish the sides with a hem) and insert the dowel with decorative ends. The bottom dowel acts as a weight to keep the embroidery flat. Banner stands are also available for purchase online for smaller projects.
- **Display Trays –** These are SUPER simple to make! Place your embroidery on a serving tray available from a dollar or home goods store and use. To keep embroidery clean and safe, place a piece of Plexiglas or real glass over it to protect your work. These can be taken out and washed or changed with the seasons!
- **Pillows** – Who does not love a comfy pillow?! Why not make it even better with an embroidered design using soft and supple embroidery? [**Click here to learn how to embroider on a pillow**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-embroider-a-pillow-tutorial/).
- **Gallery** – Gallery displays feature artwork in all the same (or different) sized frames in a “collection” as in an art gallery.
They can be scenes or photo stitches or one giant artwork broken into numerous individual tiles.
To create embroidered tiles, you can either mount them using a removable adhesive or use the outer frame of a canvas and staple your stitch out to it.

## Considerations For Displaying Machine Embroidery
We’ve discussed so many options to display your creative work, but there are some key factors to keep in mind. After all, you’ve spent a lot of time preparing and stitching your embroidery, so you want to ensure it is safe, clean, and properly prepared.
- **Sunlight** – can damage almost anything! We suggest using U.V. protectant glass if you display your artwork in sunlight. The U.V. rays in sunlight can severely bleach rayon thread and alter the color of polyester threads, so try to keep your creations out of full sun.
- **Dust** – gets everywhere, and since embroidery is a fabric, it attracts dust. Keep your work clean and bright by vacuuming (with a clean vacuum brush, not one just off the garage floor) or compressed air. Keeping on top of this will keep your embroidery crisp and clean.
- **Cleaning** – you cannot clean embroidery in a traditional sense, but you can lightly brush with a very soft brush. Brushing with a stiff scrub or other brush can pull threads and cause fraying. Clean, dry, soft paint brushes work well. Never spray your work with directly spray cleaners, as these could affect your embroidery unless tested beforehand.
- **Adhesives** – as we touched on above, adhesives are permanent and can also discolor your fabric if used too heavily. *Never spray the fabric; spray your backing*, allow it to dry, and, if possible, test in an inconspicuous spot for stains or reactions.
## Conclusion: Framing Is A Fun Way To Display Your Machine Embroidery
Cool ideas, huh? We have discussed some good starting points for displaying your embroidery. These can get your mind working, and you might mix, match or combine for even more inventive ways of display! Here are a few things to keep in mind.
- **Think Creatively!** Use your imagination, look online for creative ideas and try the ones detailed above. Remember that embroidery does not have to be flat on a shirt or just hanging in a frame on the wall.
- **Consider your material type**! Some materials like to be hung; others don’t like the sun, and the rest want to be touched and handled. Consider your material before you commit to a display method.
- **Before committing to cut**, adhere or make any changes to your embroidered stitch out, remember, *“measure twice, cut once!”*

### [Embroidery Thread Storage Tips: A Beginner’s Guide](https://embroiderylegacy.com/thread-storage-embroidery-project/)
**Published:** August 11, 2025
**Author:** Embroidery Legacy
**Content:**
Do you ever look at your growing thread collection and wonder, ‘Where am I going to put all this?’ You’re in the right place if you’re tired of tangled spools and running out of space!
Let’s dive into clever and practical thread storage ideas that help you organize and save space and ensure your thread stays in its best possible condition. From avoiding sunlight to proper rotation, we’ll explore everything you need to know to keep your threads safe, clean, and ready for your next embroidery masterpiece!
## Keeping Embroidery Thread in Perfect Condition: Tips You Need to Know
Did you know your embroidery thread, as strong as it seems, can actually be quite sensitive? Environmental factors like humidity, sunlight, dust, and even air quality can take a toll on its luster, strength, and durability. Proper storage isn’t just about tidiness—it’s about keeping your thread in peak condition.
Here’s a tip: adopt the ‘First In, First Out’ rule. It’s not just for restaurants! Use older spools before breaking into new ones. Thread sitting for over a year can become brittle, fray, or even break during use.
> *It is also important to rotate your thread spools regularly.*
>
> Author Name
Watch out for humidity, which can lead to mold or mildew—toss any spools that show signs of either. Sunlight and heat can weaken fibers, while pollutants like smoke or smog can coat your thread and transfer dirt to your machine.
And for organic threads like cotton, silk, or linen? Give them some breathing room! Avoid vacuum-sealing or wrapping them too tightly to keep them fresh and ready for your next masterpiece.
## Creative Thread Storage Solutions to Keep Your Embroidery Supplies Organized
Ready to keep your threads looking their best and performing like a dream? Let’s look at some smart and useful storage ideas. These will keep your thread safe and make stitching easy and fun. Say goodbye to tangled spools and hello to stress-free embroidery!
1. Before diving into storage, let’s talk about organization—because a bit of planning can save you a lot of time. It’s tempting to arrange your threads like a beautiful rainbow when you open that box of vibrant colors, but there’s a smarter way.
Most thread brands assign unique color numbers to their threads, and organizing them by brand and number can make finding the perfect shade quick and effortless. Many companies also offer affordable color charts that let you see the true thread colors in person, making it easier to compare and match. Once your threads are numbered and sorted, you’ll always know exactly where to find what you need!
2. Keep your thread brands separate for a frustration-free experience! There’s nothing worse than loving a color, only to find out it’s not the right fiber or brand for your project. To stay organized, store small collections of spools in designated boxes or containers. This simple step will save you time and ensure you always grab the correct thread for the job!
3. Tired of dealing with pesky thread tail tangles? A few great ways exist to keep your threads neatly together:
- Keep your spools neat and easy to use. Secure the thread tails under the spool’s tension band, usually at the bottom. A simple trick keeps everything tidy and ready for your next project!
1. - Ponytail holders are a fantastic way to keep your threads secure—plus, the cloth covering ensures they won’t snag. Just a heads-up, though: skip the rubber bands as they can stick to your thread and cause unnecessary hassle.
1. - Need another budget-friendly storage hack? Cut gift wrap tubes to fit your larger spools, then secure the tops and bottoms with tape or a rubber band.
This solution is simple, but it has a downside. It can make it harder to see your thread colors quickly. Keep this in mind when you organize!
4\. Thread racks come in many shapes and sizes. Let’s keep it simple and look at three top options. These will help you keep your threads organized and ready to use.
- - - Traditional thread racks are a popular and affordable choice, available at most craft stores and online. They’re convenient and can be wall-mounted, saving you valuable workspace. However, here’s the catch: they are usually made for smaller sewing machine spools.
Your larger embroidery thread cones may not fit well. You might need a rack with longer stiles for a better fit. Otherwise, those smaller spokes could cause your cones to tip over—definitely a storage nightmare!
- - - Cabinet thread racks are perfect for the serious embroiderer looking for a top-tier organization. Though they cost more, they provide a stylish and effective way to store your thread. This keeps it dry, safe, and easy to reach when you need it. Worth the investment if you’re ready to elevate your embroidery game!
- - - Box storage is an excellent option if you have more space to spare. You can choose from special embroidery thread organizers or handy storage cases. There are many options online to keep your thread safe and dust-free. Many of these boxes come with label spots and can be locked together for easy stacking—making them perfect for travel or organizing your collection!
- This is a great way to prevent sunlight, humidity, dust, and dirt from causing issues to your thread.
## How Much Machine Embroidery Thread Do You Really Need? Smart Thread Buying
Who doesn’t dream of having every shiny, beautiful spool of thread? But how much do you *really* need?
The key is to buy what you’ll use, not just what looks good. As you get more into embroidery, you’ll discover which brands and colors work best for your projects. Here are some smart shopping tips to keep in mind:
- **Don’t waste your money**: It’s tempting to grab every color, but over time, you’ll see which shades you actually use. If you don’t stitch with it, it’s money down the drain.
- **Deals can be deceptive**: Just because something’s a “deal” today doesn’t mean it’s a win for tomorrow. Buying entire sets may not always give you the best bang for your buck.
- **Avoid the “discount” thread trap**: Job lots and clearance threads may seem like a steal, but they could be years old and possibly poorly stored—not worth it!
- **Try before you commit**: Found a cool new thread? Buy one spool to test it out before diving into an entire investment. That way, if it doesn’t work as well as you hoped, you won’t end up with a ton of it.
- **King cones vs. small cones**: A big 5000-meter cone in black or white is a good choice. But be careful not to buy too many king cones. You will have a lot of stitching to do before they run out!
- **Starter sets are your friend**: Most embroidery machines come with a starter set—these are great for getting started with popular colors and a nice range of options. Start small, then grow your collection as you get more comfortable!
Make sure your thread collection works for *you*, not just for what looks pretty on a shelf.
## Conclusion: Thread Storage Made Easy and Fun!
Embroidery is all about creativity, but managing your threads shouldn’t be a hassle. By using these storage tips and tricks, you’ll not only keep your threads in great condition but also make your embroidery journey smoother and more enjoyable. With proper organization, the right storage solutions, and smart buying habits, you’ll have everything you need at your fingertips—without the chaos.
Remember, it’s not about how many spools you have; it’s about having the right ones when needed. Whether starting your thread collection or looking to level up your storage game, these tips will help you keep things neat, organized, and ready for your next embroidered masterpiece! Happy stitching!

### [The Ultimate Machine Embroidery Fill Stitch Guide](https://embroiderylegacy.com/the-ultimate-machine-embroidery-fill-stitch-guide/)
**Published:** August 11, 2025
**Author:** Embroidery Legacy
**Content:**
Have you ever wondered how rich, textured backgrounds in machine embroidery are made? Fill stitches are the key! They turn simple outlines into stunning, intricate designs. With so many types available, which one should you choose?
This article explains four important fill machine embroidery stitches: satin, tatami, embossed, and motif fill. These stitches can make your embroidery look amazing. Whether you are a pro or just starting, this guide will help you pick and use the best fills for any project.
Ready to level up your stitching? Let’s dive in!
## Satin Stitch in Embroidery
Satin stitches are commonly used for outlines, lettering, lines, and small shapes. Did you know you can also use them to fill areas? Remember that what you see on screen might look harsher than when it’s stitched. Don’t let that throw you off!
Here are some examples of the satin stitch used to fill.
The satin stitch can be a very gentle fill.
Another satin option is the “auto split” function. This feature tells the machine to stop in the object’s center to shorten the satin stitch length. Auto split keeps the satin fill intact, but it has a maximum stitch length of 7 mm, which is the maximum recommended for clothing. Any longer, you run the risk of snags or breaks with wear.
Below is an example of the satin stitch with the auto split turned on (left) and off (right).
> *Looking for easy-to-use digitizing software that delivers amazing results? Check out our our game-changing new **[Embroidery Legacy Digitizer Software](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-software/digitizing/)***
>
> Author Name
As you can see, this object is larger than 7 mm, so the digitizing software adjusts the stitches and blends them nicely. While the change is subtle in the image above, the final result looks fantastic!
Aside from issues like snagging or puckering with long satin stitches, there’s another common problem. Have you ever used a satin fill? Did you notice the machine stitching on one side, tying it off, and then stitching the other side?
This happens repeatedly because most machines have a stitch length limit of 10 mm (some go up to 12 mm). When the stitch exceeds that limit, the machine says “nope” and ties off.
1. Select Satin Fill, draw your object, and select
2. Open the properties tool
3. Under the auto split tab, you can choose to turn on or off the “split”
If an object is too large for the chosen stitch length, it won’t stitch properly, leaving a gap. To resolve this, simply turn on the “auto split” option.
Overall, the satin stitch can be a great choice when used correctly.
Let’s look at some other fill types!
## Tatami Stitch in Embroidery
Tatami stitch looks like a brick pattern inspired by tatami mats in Japan.
The design features a gentle texture with a more matte finish. You can use it in many ways, from an underlay to a fill, and it remains super stable.
Tatami is perfect for large areas, but it does have limitations.
The tatami stitch does not like small holes cut into it! Holes actually create *more* stitches, so if you’re trying to save stitches, remove that hole. When designing, it is best to embroider on top of the tatami rather than cut a little hole for another object.
Here is an example of an object with holes cut out to add highlights.
1. Select the object in which you want holes
2. In your Toolbox, select “Create Holes.”
3. Draw the shape of the hole you would like to create
4. Press enter
The holes in the object create many extra stitches. This happens because the tatami stitch needs stitches to stop and turn at each edge.
Since tatami has *so* many stitches you can have issues of pulling. Pull happens when the stitches cause the fabric to contract and can result in shifting (when the lines don’t meet up).
Want to learn more about push & pull compensation? Take a look at this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Is5A47QQakI&t
Don’t be misled into thinking that making the stitches *longer* will make the pull less… it is actually the opposite! Shorter stitches will create less pull.
Tatami is terrific for larger areas or as a fill below other stitches. It can be altered in the following ways:
- Use it as a background to your design
- Change the fill density to an exceptionally loose fill and use it for a special mylar effect!
- Use a loose fill to create blending!
Using the [**Embroidery Legacy Digitizer Software**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-software/digitizing/), you can create color gradients by blending. You can combine color and density to create the ombre effect.
Color blending happens by making an object filled with tatami. Then, you duplicate this object. Next, change the duplicate to a new color.
Finally, apply gradient fills to blend the colors. Adjust one fill to face upward and the other downward for a smooth color transition.
We started with a loosely filled circle.
Next, we’ll create crescents by working from dark (dense) to light (loose), using the same circle size while adjusting the fill density. We’ll also modify the node shapes to form the crescent shape effortlessly.
## Embossed Fills in Embroidery
Like patterns can be woven into rugs or fabric, tatami stitching can create amazing embroidery designs. Adjusting the length of the stitches forms gaps where the stitches meet, revealing the design within the texture.
[Legacy Digitizing Software](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-software/digitizing/) offers a wide range of creative options! With the software, you can create unique variations of the tatami stitch that give an embossed effect. Here’s how to achieve this look:
1. Select your object
2. Choose the Convert To FIll tool
3. After opening the Properties tool select the Fancy Option
4. Select your desired fill
Here is what an embossed fill looks like
The possibilities are endless, and you can create your own using your embroidery digitizing software.
## Motif Fills in Embroidery
Motif fills are made with running stitches. One popular style looks like the traditional Japanese embroidery called sashiko. Originally developed for mending clothes, sashiko uses simple running stitches to create beautiful, decorative patterns.
To create an amazing embossed fill simply create an object and then change the fill to an embossed fill.
1. Select your object
2. Choose the Fancy Fill option
3. Open your properties tool
4. Select Motif fill
5. Choose your fill pattern
6. Play around with the size of your fill- you can get amazing results
Here is the stitch out:
You can create a filled object and then switch that fill to a “motif” pattern. Motifs are small, repeating elements used to fill the design.
As these motifs approach the edge of the design, they are trimmed to maintain a smooth, uninterrupted shape. You can customize the motifs by adjusting their size, spacing, and placement to fit your design perfectly.
## Tips for Fill Stitches in Machine Embroidery
Here are some tips for creating better fills for your embroidery:
- Think satin for smaller, tatami for larger.
- Combine fills in different designs for a beautiful contrast.
- Always stitch out a sample on a material similar to your finished product.
- Change the stitch angle and experiment with stamping, embossing, and more.
Experiment with these techniques to find the perfect fit for your next creation and enhance your embroidery skills like never before!

**Published:** February 11, 2026
**Author:** John Deer
**Content:**
Anime embroidery designs are popular because of their bold outlines, expressive features, and playful style. These details can translate beautifully into machine embroidery. But only when you digitize the artwork correctly. And don’t worry—once you understand a few stitch rules, this gets fun fast.
In this beginner-friendly guide, you’ll learn a step-by-step approach to digitizing anime embroidery designs. The focus is on core concepts and stitch principles, so you’re not just clicking buttons and hoping for the best. The techniques covered here can apply to any embroidery software. Throughout the tutorial, I’ll reference examples using **[Embroidery Legacy Software](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-software/digitizing/ "Embroidery Legacy Software ")**, but the principles themselves are universal.

## What Are Anime Embroidery Designs?
Anime embroidery designs are embroidery designs inspired by anime-style artwork. They typically feature bold outlines, simplified shapes, expressive eyes, and flat or lightly shaded color areas. Because the style relies on clean lines and high contrast, careful digitizing is required to avoid:
- Gaps
- Distortion
- Uneven stitching
If it looks perfect on screen, that doesn’t mean it’ll stitch perfectly – thread plays by different rules. Unlike logos or realistic embroidery, anime designs depend heavily on outline quality and stitch flow. Small changes in:
- Stitch width
- Density
- Pathing
Okay, let’s dive in! Here’s a simple workflow that saves time when digitiziCan noticeably affect the final result—especially around eyes and other high-contrast details.ng a custom embroidery logo:

## Why Anime Artwork Is Hard to Digitize
Anime-style artwork may look simple on screen, but it presents several challenges when converted into stitches:
- **Thin and curved outlines** that can break down quickly if digitized too narrowly
- **Large satin or fill areas** that can ripple or distort without proper support
- **High-contrast facial features**, especially eyes, where even small gaps stand out
- **Shading and gradients** that must be simplified for thread-based embroidery
These challenges all come back to stitch behavior. The thread has thickness, fabric moves under tension, and stitches naturally push and pull as they form. Understanding these fundamentals makes it much easier to digitize clean anime embroidery designs.
### How to Digitize Anime Embroidery Designs (Step-by-Step)
This overview walks you through the beginner-friendly process of digitizing anime embroidery designs. Everything from artwork setup to stitch testing—so you can achieve clean, professional results.
### Step 1: Artwork Setup, Sizing & Visibility
Before placing any stitches, set your artwork to the exact size you plan to embroider. Starting at the correct scale, keep stitch widths, spacing, and details consistent throughout the design.
**In Embroidery Legacy Software:**
- Load the artwork as a backdrop
- Set the final design size based on the hoop and fabric placement
- Reduce opacity to around 50% so stitches are easy to see
**Pro Tip**: Work at a moderate zoom level (around 300%). This helps you digitize based on how the design will actually stitch, not how it looks when zoomed in too far.
### **Step 2: Run Stitch Foundations (Clean Paths & Connections)**
Run stitches act as hidden connection paths-think of them like a subway system under your design. They help reduce trims, control stitch flow, and support small details that won’t hold up as satin stitches.
**In Embroidery Legacy Software:**
- Use run stitches to travel between nearby elements
- Double-run small details for better durability and visibility
### **Step 3: Digitizing Anime Outlines with Satin Stitches**
Anime embroidery designs often live or die by the outline. Satin stitches work well here because they create bold, smooth lines that follow curves and details cleanly.
**Rule of thumb**: Keep satin stitch widths between **1 mm and 7 mm** for wearable items.
- Too narrow: stitches can sink into the fabric
- Too wide: stitches may snag or distort
When digitizing curves, smooth stitch flow matters more than tracing the artwork perfectly. Slightly simplifying the design usually produces better embroidery results.

### **Step 4: Add Fill Stitches for Eye Bases & Solid Areas**
Fill stitches are used for areas too large for satin stitches, such as:
- Eye bases
- Hair sections
- Flat color blocks
When digitizing fills, focus on three things:
- Density
- Stitch direction
- Overlap
Use a lighter fill under the outline. Then, overlap the fill slightly under the satin edge. This helps prevent gaps.
**In Embroidery Legacy Software:**
- Create fill shapes under satin outlines
- Set a consistent stitch direction for an even look
### **Step 5: Reduce Trims with Smart Pathing**
Fewer trims mean cleaner embroidery and smoother machine operation. I don’t like trimming unless I have to—every trim slows down the machine and is a chance for thread issues. Logical pathing helps stitches flow from one area to the next without unnecessary jumps.
**In Embroidery Legacy Software:**
- Adjust start and stop points to connect nearby shapes
- Use short run stitches when a direct join isn’t possible

### **Step 6: Underlay and Fabric Considerations**
Underlay settings depend on fabric type and design density. In anime embroidery designs, good underlay helps outlines stay crisp and fills sit smoothly.
**General guidelines:**
- Satin outlines benefit from light, supportive underlay
- Fills usually need a stronger underlay for stability
**Pro Tip**: If your outlines look distorted or your fills look uneven, check your underlay and fabric settings first.

### **Step 7: Final Check & Stitch-Out Test**
Always run a test stitch-out before treating a design as finished. Stitching on real fabric reveals issues that aren’t obvious on screen.
Check for:
- Smooth, consistent outlines
- Even stitch coverage with no gaps
- Logical trim placement
- Signs of push or pull distortion
Testing isn’t optional-it’s how you go from ‘pretty good’ to ‘professional’. Making small adjustments at this stage can save a lot of time later.
**Common Mistakes When Digitizing Anime Designs**
Common beginner issues include:
- Jagged or uneven outlines
- Gaps between fills and outlines
- Too many trims
- The thread breaks from overly thin stitches
- Over-digitizing tiny details
Our **[Free Digitizing 101 Course](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-classes/digitizing-education/free-101-course/ "Free Digitizing 101 Course")** shows you how to avoid these problems, step by step.
## **Anime Embroidery Design Ideas You Can Digitize Yourself**
When you start digitizing anime embroidery designs, you’ll quickly realize there isn’t just one “anime style.” Some designs are cute and simple, while others are more detailed and realistic. Pick a design that matches your skill level, then level up from there.
Popular anime-inspired styles for embroidery include:
- **Chibi**: Oversized heads and simple shapes—great for beginners
- **Kawaii**: Rounded forms and minimal detail for practicing clean outlines
- **Shonen**: Bold, dynamic shapes with thicker outlines
- **Shojo**: Flowing lines and expressive eyes for curve practice
- **Seinen**: More detailed styles are best suited for more experienced digitizers
No matter the style, the same core principles apply: clean outlines, smart pathing, and designs that respect the limits of thread and fabric.

**Step 4:** Remove the hoop from the machine and then remove the patch template. Carefully cut the running stitch away, revealing the patch template.
### File 2
**Step 1:** Cut a piece of your prep-patch stabilizer to fit within the embroidery hoop. Place the dimpled side of the stabilizer in the hoop facing down to prevent movement when you run the patch design.
**Tip:** Use t-pins to minimize further movement within the hoop.
**Step 2:** Place the hoop into your machine and stitch out the placement line onto the prep-patch stabilizer.
**Step 3:** Use spray adhesive on the back of the twill fabric patch, ensure the twill side faces up. Place it inside the placement guide line.
**Step 4:** Run the tack-down stitch around the patch template. This will hold the twill patch in place.
**Note:** Use a bamboo stick to help guide the patch-backed poly twill as the tack-down stitch embroiders.
**Step 5:** Embroider your patch design.
**Step 6:** Once the design has finished stitching, remove the hoop and trim any long threads away from the back of the patch.
**Step 7:** Carefully press down the patch’s corner, easily removing it from the stabilizer.
Look at that amazing patch quality!
Now that you know how to create custom embroidered patches, the possibilities are endless! With the right materials and techniques, you can create patches for jackets, bags, or any project that needs a personal touch. So grab your single-needle machine and start stitching your way to one-of-a-kind creations. Happy patch-making!

## Apron Embroidery Tutorial
**Step 1:** Print out and cut your design template. Use the template to ensure your design fits within your hoop and you place it perfectly on your apron.
**Please note:** To embroider in the center of your apron, fold it in half from right to left. A crease will appear in the middle, and you can iron it out later.
**Step 2:** Place your design template in the middle chest of your apron using the folded line for placement.
**Step 3:** Pin your design template in place. Hold up your apron on yourself to ensure you like the placement. Adjust if needed.
**Step 4:** Hoop your stabilizer and apron. If you are using a single-needle embroidery machine, position your hoop correctly. The part that connects to the machine should face the top neck area of the apron.
Watch the video above to learn how to gauge and preset your hoop for the best results and to avoid hoop burn.
**Tip:** Use painter’s tape to keep your stabilizer in place on the hoop. This will stop it from moving before you hoop. We will remove the tape before embroidering.
**Step 5:** Remove the small piece of tape from your hoop after securely hooping your apron and stabilizer.
**Step 6:** Load your embroidery design into your machine and place your hoop. Move the next strap out of the way and ensure no fabric is under the hoop.
Center your needle in the center of your design template.
**Step 7:** Remove your pins and template from your bag and stitch out your embroidery design.
**Step 8:** After stitching your design, carefully remove the hoop from your machine.
**Step 9:** You can trim the excess threads if you like. Remove the apron from your hoop.
Remove the stabilizer by tearing it away.
**Step 10:** You’re finished and ready to use your newly embroidered apron!
Thanks for cooking up some designs with us! Now that you’ve learned the essentials, you can confidently create your personalized apron! Whether making it for yourself or as a thoughtful gift, these tips and tricks will help you achieve a professional-looking result on a single-needle machine. Happy stitching, and don’t forget to share your finished projects—we’d love to see what you create!

### [3 Best Tips For Embroidering On Performance Wear](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-embroider-on-performance-wear/)
**Published:** August 11, 2025
**Author:** Embroidery Legacy
**Content:**
Who has felt the agony… a $50 tactical polo you embroider for a friend rumpled, ruined. You tried to remove that stitching only to find holes that have replaced it. It’s fuzzy and snagged; you grab your iron to smooth out the mess, and the iron-shaped melted hole will now make an iron-shaped hole in your wallet until you find that there *aren’t* any more of these shirts to be had. That’s performance wear.
It’s delightful to pull on during a hot day so it wicks away perspiration and is soft against baby’s skin, but it’s prickly if manhandled when embroidered!
Performance wear can be anything from a child’s tutu to an Olympian’s leotard, a policeman’s tactical shirt, or a scuba diver’s wetsuit. They are clothing made from modern fabrics explicitly designed for an activity, climate, movement, or temperature. These fabrics can repel fire and stretch in every direction; they don’t snag or wick moisture. Amazing fabrics, right? Some will argue that they are amazing until you have to embroider on them, and then they don’t make us feel amazing.
Be sure to keep reason as we explore what some think are amazing fabrics and, to others, scary canvases upon which to embroider. We will talk about the fabrics, how they are handled, considerations for digitizing, machine speed, hooping and more.
## What Does Performance Wear Mean?
Performance fabrics are textiles with waterproofing, stain protection, antibacterial and odor, flame resistance, body temperature cooling or heating, etc.
Many “performance” fabrics are created by applying a coating to an ordinary fabric or fibers before they are knit. While the coating idea is good at the start, the properties can diminish over time. You can apply some sprays or coatings such as water repellents later, but these will not be as effective as the factory-applied or embedded chemicals.
True “performance fabrics” are engineered textiles. They need to meet specifications for piling, wear cleaning, and fade. While chemicals play a part in the yarn composition, the knit or weave and the processing all go hand in hand with the performance-enhancing chemicals.
For the most part, performance wear is made of manmade materials. Here are five examples
- **Polyester** is very durable, but it does not breathe well and does not absorb moisture. It wears well but is quite uncomfortable in the heat or strenuous activities.
- **Rayon** is a synthetic fiber made from wood pulp. Despite being made of a natural product like wood, it is considered synthetic because of the chemicals required. It is very soft and often substituted for silk. Many embroiderers prefer rayon embroidery threads because of its sheen.
- **Microfibers**, as they sound, are incredibly thin and were first popular in cleaning cloths but have made appearances in bedding, clothing, and more. They are generally made of polyester and can be woven or non-woven. The yarn these fabrics are made of is often floss-like, small bundles of fibers that are twisted together.
- **Spandex** (Lycra) is a synthetic fiber that is capable of extreme elasticity. We find spandex everywhere, from undergarments to jeans. Any runners out there will know lycra or spandex blended leggings. Spandex is an anagram of the word expands.
- **Acrylic** fibers are synthetic fibers made from polymers. Often found in faux furs and fleece it has excellent insulation properties. Synthetic yarns for knitting are most often acrylic.
**So who wears Performance wear?** Performance wear is used in all walks and ages of life, and it would not be uncommon for you to monogram a newborn onesie one day and a tactical shirt for a policeman the next. You need to know what you can expect in these garments.
**Weave vs. knit?** Though the knitted material in a performance shirt looks like thread, it is still referred to as yarn. The yarn can be made of two or more strands that are twisted together. Twisting fiber imparts strength to yarn. It makes the fibers harder to pull apart lengthways and the yarn, therefore harder to break.
Yarn can also be made of floss. Just like cotton candy has thousands of tiny strands that make up its bulk, so does floss yarn. Take these strands and twist them slightly, or knit with them in a group, and you have yarn. There are pluses and minuses to this method; it wicks moisture but snags very easily. We will talk about strategies in just a bit.
## Machine Embroidery Issues On Performance Wear
Many would say that you don’t appreciate cotton fabric until you embroider on something else. Woven cotton has a durable weave and tolerates embroidery well, but that same weave made with, say, rayon would be slinky and soft. Performance wear and embroidery do not always mix due to the weave of the fabric, fineness of the yarn, thickness of the fabric (such as neoprene), or treatments.
Here are some of the reasons you need to use caution when creating embroidered goods on these fabrics.
- **Slinky movement** – Textiles that are slinky are notoriously difficult to embroider on since they move and stretch *while* embroidered. This will cause distorted designs and puckering.
- **More easily damaged** – Manmade microfibers such as Tencel and dri-wicking fabrics can be embroidered, but if you make a mistake, removing the embroidery leaves damage since removing a few of the fibers in a piece of yarn causes fuzzing and marks.
- **Susceptible to ironing** – Ironing can help in applying backings or other stabilizers, but performance fabrics, because they are manmade, will melt under higher temperatures.
- **Puckering** – When we have seen puckering discussions from members in our Facebook group, the frustrated embroiderer has been attempting to embroider dense designs or larger designs on the double knit or polyester jumpers and sweaters with limited success. These will require attention and thoughtful consideration in design hooping and backing.
## 3 Best Tips For Embroidering On Performance Wear
### 1. How To Hoop Performance Wear For Machine Embroidery
There are as many opinions on how to hoop as there are stars in the sky, so we will discuss the most reliable ways to hoop performance wear. It goes without saying, but how you hoop will depend a lot on the fabric.
- **Naturally hooping** means laying the fabric down and letting it lay over the hoop and backing naturally without being stretched or pulled and without wrinkles or folds. When you stretch the fabric out and embroider a design locking it down to the backing and then release, the fabric around it contracts and puckers around the design.
- Very stretchy fabrics like lycra or slinky ones like microfiber or dri-wicking tencels could benefit from a light sticky spray designed for embroidery. We will talk about sprays a little later.
- **Right size hoop** – For many embroiderers, using a large selection of hoops is not possible. But the correct hoop can save a garment. Make sure you use a hoop slightly larger than the size of your embroidery.
- Square hoops provide good support for woven fabrics, and round hoops provide all-around support for knits and slinky fabrics. This is not to say you *have* to only use round or square, but they can aid in the quality of your stitch out. If you can only choose one shape due to cost constraints, the round is your better all-around choice since it provides all-around even support to the fabric.
- **Floating** – Floating is hooping a piece of backing and then laying down fabric for embroidery on top. This can work for small synthetic fabrics, but the slinky nature of the fabric when used in shirts and larger items floating can cause shifting of the garment.
- If you are floating to save money, keep in mind that this can be penny wise and pound foolish. If you get a poor stitchout, the new garment will be many times over the cost of the stabilizer you used.
- **Toppers** – Toppers such as water soluble stabilizer can really aid when embroidering on Tencel, lycra, and dri-wicking fabrics by lifting the stitching on the top and keeping it from sinking into the fabric. This supports the stitching and not having it rely solely on the weave or knit.

### 2. Use Proper Stabilizer For Performance Wear
**Wear it, don’t tear it!!** – We keep hearing this because it is true! Tear-away backing is primarily composed of paper which is why it easily tears away from your stitching. It is heavier, and this stiffness is not comfortable against the skin. Of course, there are some occasions in which you will use cutaway but “wear it, don’t tear it” works as a rule.
**Performance stabilizer** – Just as there are new fabrics, more and more performance stabilizers are on the market. We will not go into brands, but we will talk about several types.
- **Bonded mesh stabilizers** look like they came out of a waffle iron. A web of stabilizer fabric is made more stable by bonding a grid in it to remain soft and still provide support. These are often called “no show.”
- **Directionally stable backing** has a weave and is stable vertically, and horizontally it is perfect for names and lettering. It has a soft fabric feel but is woven in a way to provide support.
- **Plastic films with sticky backing** can be expensive, but they often can turn failure into success when working on difficult fabrics such as bags or hats. This is not suitable for garments since you are embroidering a piece of plastic that will remain and be scratchy.
- **Spun Bonded backing** is quite sheer and works well for slinky knits along with some light spray.
- **Medium Cutaway** in two layers is most often a good “middle of the road” option for those who cannot invest in many different kinds of backing.
- **Iron-on stabilizer** is meant to remain. Often a difficulty with using iron on is that the outline of your stabilizer can be seen from the front side. This is not always your best choice.
- **Wash away stabilizer**. Remember that a stabilizer is meant to support embroidery while stitching, but *something* needs to remain to support that stitching when you wear it. Washing away your support will leave crumpled, wrinkled embroidery. That said, wash away can be very helpful as a topper to support and loft the stitching until you get it out of the hoop.

Here’s a quick video for our Embroidery for Beginner’s Course that’ll cover different types of stabilizers and toppings in more detail:
**How many layers** **do I use?** – You should only ever need one layer of stabilizer for a well digitized design, using two layers is usually compensating for poor digitizing.
**Iron on** – As we discussed above, iron on backing can help in some situations, but remember that on very slinky fabrics ironing on a square might stabilize a perfect square on your left chest embroidery, leaving the unsupported fabric around it to move and pucker. Also, keep in mind that some fabrics will melt.
### 3. How To Use Adhesive Sprays On Performance Wear
Adhesive sprays are slightly tacky and are designed to tack the fabric to the backing, but *please* do not rely on them to replace good hooping. When purchasing a spray, make sure to select one made for embroidery and not a craft or pattern tacky spray.
Embroidery sprays are meant to be temporary, and many of them absorb into the fabric over time and disappear. Using a craft tack or a sewing pattern spray will leave a residue not designed to wash away.

If you truly need more tack, lightly spray your backing, give a light spray to the fabric, and then stick them together. It is often helpful to turn the garment inside out, apply backing securing with pins if necessary, and then turn over and hooping. You never want the fabric to feel wet.
## How to Digitize for Performance Wear
When embroidering soft, supple lycra, Tencel, or Spandex knits, you want to be gentle with them and create a design with that in mind. Some [**embroidery software**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-software/digitizing/) have fabric assist tools, but these are not “fix-alls.” They adjust pull compensation, taking into account the contraction of the embroidery on the fabric but that is only a part of your toolbox.
The easiest way to ensure success with performance embroidery is to use a design created to be soft and supple, but here are some other thoughts:
- Avoid bullet-proof stitching. Bullet-proof is just as it sounds. So dense and strong it would protect you from a bullet. It can happen with too many stitches, too dense of stitching, too many trims, and more. Not only can it make for a poor stitch out, but it can also damage your machine.
- Avoid a lot of layering. When layering portions of your design, remember that each object has an underlay and a stitching layer. So when you layer those four objects one on top of another, there can be eight layers of stitching. Removing underlay on layers over the original object can help.
- Large logos and designs – While you can do a full back on a slinky knit shirt, it may not be the best choice as you will have a supple soft front and a stiffer back.
- Simplify how to digitize embroidery – You have heard it said before in classes that the “brain fills in details” for the eye. Evaluate your design and ask yourself if you need *all* that detail. Often removing that will give you a better stitch out, and only you will notice. You can also substitute running stitch for satin, satin fill for tatami, etc. Want to learn more on the 3 primary stitch types in embroidery?

### Embroidery Lettering on Performance Wear
Lettering is tricky no matter the fabric, but keep it simple when working on knits and performance wear.
- Satin block letters are the best since they provide good coverage with the least amount of damage.
- Complicated lettering such as cursives with thin lines and tiny lettering will work but experiment with thickening up the lines by increasing pull compensation.
- As always, **slow down** your machine as that will help with keeping the fabric from moving during “recoil” between stitches.

- Avoid many tie offs. Each tie off is a knot that does not always feel good against the skin when there are dozens. By properly digitizing and pathing, you can cut trims down to a minimum.
- Use the correct needle! A “ball point” needle can help when working with performance wear. Ball needles separate the fibers as they pierce, and “sharp” needles can cut them. Especially with microfibers, this is a must.

## Conclusion: Embroidering Performance Wear Doesn’t Have To Be Hard
Well, that is a lot to take in! Let’s recap what we discussed. When working with manmade performance wear we need to make considerations so that our embroidery turns out picture perfect!
- Properly hoop your item; naturally not stretched
- Use the correct hoop shape and size
- Use a ball point needle
- Choose carefully when picking backing and use at least two layers
- If you must use spray, *less is more*, and make sure you use a spray specifically for embroidery
- Consider your fabric when digitizing and do not rely only on program settings
- Use good designs from a digitizer with experience in the production of soft, supple designs with few trims
Happy stitching!

## Why embroider this lace pullover blouse?
Creating this project is very budget-friendly as you can use materials from around your home. You can use fabric from your fabric stash (if you have to) or make your blouse super unique by using a tablecloth. You can use any tablecloth you have lying around, or you can use a family lace tablecloth; this can preserve the memories that go with them. Often lace tablecloths have been in the family for many years and are buried in a drawer (I’m not sure how long mine have been in there), but we tend not to want to part with them. Making a blouse can be a great functional way to use your tablecloths and get some use of them if they’ve been stored away. Sometimes using different materials when embroidering can be challenging; check out **[the 3 main fabric categories used in machine embroidery and how to use them](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-use-main-machine-embroidery-fabrics/).**
Now if you really want your blouse to stand out and be impressive, add some soft lace embroidery down the front. Changing the embroidery lace designs you use, the color of lace thread you use, or simply rotating the same lace design here and there, will help give a different look to each embroidered blouse you create to make a new clothing masterpiece. Using lace can seem intimidating, but you’ll wonder why you ever held yourself back once you’ve embroidered it correctly. To help, check out our **[freestanding lace tips and tricks](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-tutorial-free-standing-lace/)** so you can get the best possible results.

Wearing this embroidered blouse with a tank top under it gives your outfit an elegance element for any occasion. It is easy to customize your lace blouse to suit your taste. Not only can you make it stylish and add the right amount of flair, but you can also make it one of a kind. You won’t be seeing anyone around town wearing the same thing.
As you’re creating this embroidered lace top yourself, you don’t have to try on shirts or worry about getting the right size. You can assure you’re getting what you want and at the right fit.
Alright, I’ve talked enough about how amazing this blouse is going to be/look on you, so let’s get embroidering!
## Supplies required for creating your embroidered lace blouse:
### Machine embroidery lace used for the blouse:
- [**Vintage lace edition 4 volume 6 AIMR44a**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/product/embroidery-design-vintage-lace-edition-4-volume-6-aimr44a-br-2-53w-x-11-27h/)

### Materials used for the embroidered blouse:
- Water-soluble stabilizer
- Vellum or transparency paper
- Lace tablecloth 60″ x 84″
- Basic sleeveless shell blouse pattern
- Matching polyester thread
- Seam ripper
- Ruler
- Washable marker
- Pattern tracing paper
- Editing [**embroidery software**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-software/digitizing/)
## Embroidered blouse project tutorial:
### Step 1: Prepare your machine embroidery lace pattern
- Trace the basic shell blouse pattern front and back on pattern tracing paper.
- On the new pattern, add 1/2″ to the side seams at the armhole and extend the hemline 5″ at the side seam.
- Add 1″ at the new bottom side seam.
- Connect the armhole mark and the button side seam mark, creating a new angled side seam.
- Draw an arch from the bottom side seam to the center on both the front and back pattern pieces.
- Draw a line marking the center back and center front
- Cut the tablecloth in half, creating two 60″ x 42″ pieces.
- Cut the back from one of the halves.
- Mark a line down the center of the remaining tablecloth section with a removable marker.
- Lay the tablecloth on the blouse front pattern. Transfer the pattern outline and center front line on the table cloth with a removal marker.
### Step 2: Create a machine embroidery lace design template
- Open design AIMR44A from Vintage Lace Edition 4 Volume 6 design pack in embroidery editing software.
- Copy, paste, mirror image, and move the design, so the two designs are positioned side by side with a 1/2″ space between them.
- Merge design AIMR44 and position it below the existing designs. Save the design.
### Step 3: Print & placement of embroidery lace template
- Print a template of the design on vellum or transparency paper.
- Position the top of the printed design 1″ below the front neck edge.
- Note: Because lace is sheer, the printout can be placed under the tablecloth to help with the design’s positioning.
### Step 4: Hooping machine embroidery lace design
- Transfer the template’s crosshair on the lace front.
- Hoop water-soluble stabilizer with the tablecloth.
- Stitch the design.
### Step 5: Sewing your embroidered lace top together
- Remove it from the hoop but do not remove the water-soluble stabilizer as it will continue to stabilize the fabric while you continue constructing the blouse.
- Verify the embroidery is centered on the front.
- If necessary, lay the front pattern piece on the front, make any adjustments, and redraw the front.
- Cut out the front.
- Sew the front and back together at the shoulder seams and the side seams.
- Press.
- Slit the center front open from the neckline to within 1″ of the embroidered design.
- Finish the neckline, center front slit, armholes, and the bottom.
- Suggestions for finishing the edges: serged rolled hem, sew the edge of lace along the edges or turn under and topstitch. Soak the top in water with some liquid fabric softener to dissolve the stabilizer, rinse, hand wash, and dry.
- Voila!
## Conclusion: create your lace blouse
Not only can you create your lace blouse with materials from around your home, making this project budget-friendly, but you also can personalize your lace blouse to what best suits your style. Whether that be with different fabrics, lace thread colors, or lace embroidery designs. There is no limit to what you can create, making your embroidered lace top one of a kind.

### [Master the Art of Canvas Embroidery: Create Stunning Pieces with Ease](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-embroider-on-canvas/)
**Published:** August 11, 2025
**Author:** Embroidery Legacy
**Content:**
Canvas is an amazing and versatile fabric that is becoming popular around the embroidery world. Are you ready to learn more about machine embroidery techniques, tools, and projects on canvas? Let’s discuss how thread and fabric weave magic together.
In this article, we’ll talk about transforming a plain canvas into a stunning work of art!
## Why Embroider On Canvas
Canvas is such an economical and versatile choice for fabric. It is available at Fabric, Hardware (as drop cloths), and Dollar stores. There are also many sites with premade totes and other ready-made goodies. We’ll give you some project ideas (enough to fill the biggest tote you can make)!
Before the fun projects, let’s discuss what canvas is and the different kinds.
We will discuss the three main types.
- **Plain:** wide weave with larger fiber. Often used for tents and durable goods.
- **Duck:** thinner threads and smoother finish. Often used in tennis shoes and drop cloths.
- **Cotton:** stretchy and softer. Often used in outwear.

Be careful when embroidering on canvas with a plastic coating or thick seams, as it may damage your needle. Most canvas is naturally colored, but it comes in white, black, and a rainbow of colors!
As far as embroidery designs, the world is your canvas! Get creative! You should stitch out with great results if you use high-quality embroidery designs.

## Embroidery Threads On Canvas
Polyester threads work wonderfully on canvas, but you can also use cotton or rayon.
The only drawback to rayon is that it frays more easily than polyester. The more rough the fabric, the more you can fray your thread.

## Best Stabilizer for Canvas Machine Embroidery
Canvas is a firm fabric. Therefore sometimes you don’t need a stabilizer, but using one gives the best results. A medium-weight cutaway or a tearaway works very well.

## Embroidery Machine Needle For Canvas
Canvas has a very coarse weave and is quite strong, so there are only a few drawbacks.
When embroidering lettering on canvas or long straight lines, you often see your stitching line “jump” over one fabric thread. When using a dull needle or ballpoint, the embroidery thread tends to move sideways instead of going through the fabric. This happens because the needle is not sharp enough to penetrate the material. As a result, the thread gets pushed to the side rather than creating a clean stitch.
We recommend using a sharp point needle.
## Machine Embroidery On Canvas Projects
We will show you a few ways to use canvas, but this is just the tip of the iceberg! Denim is like canvas, durable and wearable, making it a stable fabric for embroidery.
### Displaying Embroidered Canvas On A Wooden Frame
Here is a sweet little birth announcement. The lettering is embroidered, and the embellishments are colored with permanent markers.

We painted a small frame and used a heavy-duty stapler.
Here are the steps for stapling canvas onto the back of a wooden frame:
1. Machine embroider your design. Lay your stitch-out face UP on a flat surface.
2. Lay your frame over it and adjust until it is square and centered in the frame.
3. Mark a dot at each corner.
4. Place the frame’s front side DOWN on a flat surface.
5. Lay the stitch-out face DOWN on the BACK of the frame. Align the dots with the four corners of the frame.
6. Staple the corners first, working on opposite corners as you go. If embroidering on stretched canvas, do not pull too tight to distort your embroidery.
7. Turn over and check to make sure your design is aligned.
8. Working on opposite sides, staple the sides in the center of your frame.
9\. Fill in the sides with staples so your canvas fits tight.
10\. Trim excess fabric showing around your frame.
11\. Display and admire!
Canvas fabric is very strong, and you can pull on it, lining the fabric’s grain with the frame’s edge.

## Why create this 3D embroidery design?
Going to the store to check out all the different kinds of fall décor can be fun, but once you turn that price tag over, you might not be so happy anymore. As seasonal items are only released occasionally, stores know to use it to their advantage, and it’s a price you’ll have to pay, literally. Why pay the big bucks when you can save money and create and embroider something that will save money in your pocket. You can use materials and fabrics you may already have in your fabric stash, or you can purchase items on sale or in bulk to save what you would be spending.
Not only will these 3D embroidered leaves give your house a sense of fall magic, but they will also give you a fall theme décor without the mess! These 3D leaves look realistic without having to bring the muck from outside. Not only will they create a cozy indoor atmosphere, but they will also remain in perfect condition as you can use them again and again for years to come.
As you create this 3D embroidery tutorial, you can personalize and create new and different leaves. You may want specific colors of fabrics or threads for one craft while needing a different color scheme for something different. These 3D leaves can be used for many other fall-themed inspired décor ideas. They can be for decorative centrepieces, dress up your thanksgiving plates, put on your bags, and give a festive look to your fall wreath. Your options are limitless.
Trying a new embroidery style, especially 3D can seem challenging or even scary for someone who hasn’t practiced this technique yet. But we’re here to give you a step-by-step tutorial to master this practice and even have fun doing it! Once you do it, you’ll wonder why you never tried it in the first place.

>
> [Tweet](/)
**Step 2:**
- Hoop all three pieces together
**Step 3:**
- Embroider your leaves and remove from the machine
**Step 4:**
- You can be even more creative with your fall leaves by cutting up small bits of leftover Organza.
- These should be a little darker or different colors than those you are using on the top and bottom.
**Step 5:**
- Place one piece of organza fabric on the bottom. On top of this place a piece of water-soluble backing (dissolve away/wash away).
- On top of the wash-away sprinkle your small bits of Organza (within the embroidery area).
- On top of this place your second piece of Organza and hoop.
**Step 6:**
- Embroider your fall leaf.
**Step 7:**
- Remove from the hoop and cut your fall leaf as closely as possible to the embroidered border without cutting into the stitching.
**Step 8:**
- Once your leaves have been cut out, take your hot soldering iron and gently trace the outside edge of the border without cutting into the stitching
**Step 9:**
- Hold your leaf under warm gentle running tap water until the wash-away fabric in the center is dissolved
**Step 10:**
- Lay your leaves on a flat surface to dry naturally, or you can use a blow dryer to hasten the process.
**Step 11:**
- Once the leaves have dried, you may find that they are laying too flat. Take a small spray bottle filled with water and lightly mist your leaf. You will then be able to shape it however suits you.
**Step 12:**
- Voila! Your fall leaves are complete and ready to use.
## Conclusion: create this 3D embroidery design
When you want to give your home a cozy fall theme, stop spending more than you need.

### [Embroidery on Nylon Screen Made Easy: The Ultimate Guide](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-embroider-nylon-screen/)
**Published:** August 11, 2025
**Author:** Embroidery Legacy
**Content:**
Are you looking for new and exciting ways to express your creativity with embroidery? From embroidering socks to rope bowls to balsa wood trays, let’s add another unique way to add embroidery; on a nylon screen!
Learn about mesh screen tips, our suggestions, project ideas, and a step-by-step tutorial to creatively embellish your nylon screen.
## Why Try Embroidering on Nylon Screen
Nylon screen, screen mesh, and pet screen are like tulle netting, only a bit larger and stronger. Screen doors and window screens use screen mesh.
Using nylon or mesh screens adds an unusual texture and dimension to your embroidery designs. Prepare for the “ou’s” and “ah’s” when your friends and family see it!
It provides a different way to display your machine embroidery. Put it in a frame, on your back door, or your hats and bags. It’s time to get creative!
Nylon and mesh screens are known for their durability and are very wear and tear-resistant. Your embroidery will be sure to last.
## Recommendations For Embroidering On Mesh Screen
### Types Of Screens To Use & Not Use
We have only one big **don’t.**

There are several kinds of screen mesh available in hardware stores.
All of the projects shown below use **nylon** mesh. It is available right next to the metal meshes in the hardware store but is soft and pliable. (Be sure to ask someone if you need help distinguishing between the two so you purchase the right screen.)
### Thread For Embroidering Mesh Screen
Use any embroidery thread except metallic ones, as they won’t show and can damage the nylon screen.

### Nylon Screen Embroidery Stabilizer
We suggest using a water-soluble (wash away) stabilizer for screen mesh embroidery. We used a double layer of cloth-like stabilizer to give a good surface while stitching.

## Embroidering on Mesh Screen Tutorial
### Supplies Needed For Embroidering On Screen
- Nylon screen mesh (available at your local hardware store)
- Embroidery thread (we used polyester)
- Fabric-like water soluble stabilizer
- Your [**embroidery design**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-designs/) loaded into your machine
### Embroidery On Screen Mesh Tutorial
- Select your design. Keep in mind the density and level of complexity, as we talked about above.
- Hoop your screen mesh and stabilizer.
- Lay your hoop bottom on a flat surface.
- Lay the stabilizer over your hoop (remember, we used two layers).
- - Lay the screen mesh on top of your stabilizer and hoop.
- - Insert your hoop into your machine.
- Stitch your design- remember **to stitch at a lower speed**– this is important to have the best quality stitching.

- Trim the stabilizer and save extra pieces for other projects.
- Rinse out the rest of the stabilizer using hot water in a continuous spray from your tap.
- Lay it out flat until dry.

- When dry, check for small bits of stabilizer. You can remove any leftover pieces with a wet cotton swab.
- Mount in a frame for display. We used pre-made stretchers for painters and sprayed them black for show. Any wooden frame will do as long as you can staple in the back. (Keep reading for further direction.)
## Embroidery Designs For Mesh Screen
Let’s discuss a few things to consider when choosing an embroidery design for your screen.

Before picking your design, consider where you will display your stitching.
Dense designs look good on screen, but they look even better with light shining on them from the front. (Dense designs could look like a dark form if you are looking at it with only bright light shining behind it.)
Here is an example of how a design on a mesh screen looks with a light on the front and back.

Light designs are good, but colors won’t appear in a window if they’re too light.
It is best to choose non-dense simpler designs. Remember that the nylon screen is a grid. There are vertical and horizontal threads, but far apart, so there is not as much to hold the design.
You will want to choose designs with cleaner edges to lessen the dreaded pulling.
Here is a way of looking at it; any design will cause pulling, but try to get as little as possible. The simpler the design, the less pulling. Here are two examples of a simple and complicated design:
It does not mean you cannot try- you’ll only know if you do!
Some key points to remember when using embroidery on mesh:
- Choose lighter, smaller designs
- Think about where you will display your stitch out
- Lighter colors show better
- Use lighter (or white) bobbins
## Different Ways to Embellish Your Embroidery Designs for Mesh Screen
Here are a few fun and unique variations to achieve different looks on the nylon screen tutorial we showed above.
### Digitizing Fills For Screen Mesh
Create your own custom embroidery designs exactly how you want within your embroidery software.
Here is an example of using a fill in our “sun catchers” designs.
You can fill them with a tatami fill. For a lighter effect, remove the underlay.
We imported [**Sun Catcher 1 embroidery design**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/product/embroidery-design-stain-glass-sun-catcher-1-br-3-98w-x-3-98h/) into our software. We then used a Florentine curved fill and applied an effect filling from dense to light. Think of coloring “inside the lines” in a coloring book.
### Screen Mesh Embroidery with Plastic & Coloring

> [Tweet](/)
Use clear plastic, like in tablecloths or shower curtains, to make a stained glass effect with permanent markers or gel paints.
We stitched it in black to achieve this effect, but you may choose any color. A design like this allows us to fill in colors as we desire! These are awesome for kids of all ages and excellent for Christmas ornaments!
> *Be sure to use patterns that are designed to be filled. You can also use applique designs (without applying the applique).*
>
> Author Name
>
> [Tweet](/)
For this easy stained glass effect, you will treat this like an [**applique embroidery design**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/applique-embroidery-designs-how-to-techniques/) (stitch, trim, then finish stitching).
Here are the steps:
- Hoop 2 pieces of fabric like water soluble stabilizer with a layer of screen mesh over it.
- Cover the hoop with a thick, transparent plastic sheet, such as a tablecloth or shower curtain. Place the hoop in the machine.
- Stitch the first circle of the design (the tack down).
- Remove your hoop from the machine and trim only the plastic.
- Finish stitching and remove from the hoop.
- Trim the stabilizer, set it aside for other projects, and then rinse the remaining stabilizer away from the stitching.
- When dry, fill spaces with a permanent marker, nail polish, or clear paint to create a beautiful stained glass effect. Make sure when you are coloring it; you work on the plastic side.
- Mount in an empty picture frame and enjoy!
> *With thinner plastic, you will see a rippled effect; this will not affect how your stained glass looks. It can give your project a lot of character.*

### Nylon Screen Embroidery with Ink Crayon

> [Tweet](/)
Another method when embroidering nylon mesh is to use an old polyester sheer as your base applique material. Color it with permanent markers or use Ink Crayons, activated with water.
The steps are the same as the plastic version above. However, in this version, you will use an old drapery sheer made of polyester organza. You can also use silk organza or any fabric!
After coloring, lay it flat and mist it lightly with plain water from a fine sprayer. Be careful not to over-wet it.
## How To Frame Embroidery On Nylon Screen
Use a wooden frame to staple the screen in place, but any frame will do.
Staple the four corners in place, stretch your screen slightly, and align the mesh’s grid lines with the frame’s side. Then work on opposing sides until you have it secured.
## Conclusion: Put Embroidering On Screen Mesh On Your Embroidery To-Do List
Screen mesh is so much fun! Get this textile for your collection! It can be put in a frame, tote, or ornament. Here are some things to remember:
- **NEVER** use metal screen “wire” in an embroidery machine. It will damage your machine, and you’ll be out of commission.
- **Use two layers of stabilizer** when you are embroidering on a mesh screen. It will give you better stitch-out results.
- **Make sure your designs are simple** and light. Dense designs are not see-through and can look like a dark “blob” hanging in a window. Likewise- avoid designs with fine details or wispy lines.
- **Be creative and think outside the box!** Mesh projects are not just for windows; you can make jewelry, bags, ornaments, and more. Try out the different techniques we discussed above.

### [How To Be Eco-Friendly With Machine Embroidery](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-be-eco-friendly-with-machine-embroidery/)
**Published:** August 11, 2025
**Author:** Embroidery Legacy
**Content:**
From water bottles to cardboard boxes, there are so many things in our day-to-day life that are recycled, and it makes sense for us and the planet. So, is there such a thing as environmentally friendly embroidery? There sure is! Green embroidery. Not the color, but the concept.
Did you know that the textile industry is a major player in both the pollution of the environment *and* the movement to clean up that mess? Let’s discuss how our embroidery work affects the world around us and how we can help.
## What Is The Green Movement?
The green movement has been around in America for a long time and looks at ways to preserve the environment.
***What things pollute the environment?***
The most significant form of textile pollution is.. CLOTHES! Discarded, unwanted clothes. The problem has become much worse due to the availability of cheap, almost disposable clothing. We wear that shirt, and when we tire of it, we throw it away. Torn pants? Throw them away. In the last 100 years, the modern attitude towards old clothing has changed drastically as back then, most people had “work clothes” and “church clothes.” Closets were small or non-existent because they did not own 30 shirts or more. People took better care of their clothes and recycled them into quilts, rugs, patches etc.
***Who are the polluters?***
As mentioned above, we are the greatest polluters- and second to that is the textile industry that produces the fabrics. If you are wearing a polyester blend shirt right now, it came from petroleum products and the amount of pollution to produce that shirt staggers the mind. Likewise, chemical dyes and treatments are routinely put into the environment sometimes because the cost is too great to dispose of them and due to regulations in the country producing them. **Would it surprise you that the fashion industry is responsible for 10% of the pollution worldwide**?
***What is being done?***
There is a growing movement in the fashion industry to choose more environmentally friendly fabrics and ask how the textiles designers are using are produced. Countries including the US, Australia, Japan, and many in Europe are joining together to ask more questions about “fashion pollution.” The fashion industry is using and recommending more natural “green fabrics” such as bamboo, hemp, cotton, and silk.
## What Eco-Friendly Materials Are There For Machine Embroidery?
So let’s get back to embroidery and what we are using. It is not an easy choice to make a stand (or affordable for everyone); materials are harder to source and can cost more, but you are doing your part. You would need to make concessions, though there are some things we cannot do without. So here are some ideas for you to consider:
### Fabrics
- **Linen**– Linen is a plant-based fabric made from flax that can be grown on rough terrain unsuitable for food production so the land can be utilized. It is hardy and can be produced and processed without chemicals
- **Cotton**– Cotton is a natural plant-based fiber used in clothing, furniture, and other textiles, such as rayon and synthetics. It is durable, breathable, and highly versatile.
- **Rayon-** Is a man-made fabric made from cellulose (wood fiber). Viscose rayon is usually made from bamboo. However, the chemicals required to transform it into fabric, including carbon disulfide, are unsafe for the people who work with the production.
- **Polyester**– Didn’t think this would not be here? RECYCLED polyester reduces the amount of pollution significantly, but it is still made from petroleum products.
- **Silk** – Silk is produced from silkworms and has varying production levels, but it is labor-intensive, and many are uncomfortable with “ranching” silkworms to produce it.
- **Wool**– Wool is available from sheep and goats who are not harmed in harvesting the fiber, but many are uncomfortable with the process.

### Threads
- Embroidery thread comes in most of the above fibers, but there are limitations to their use. Polyester is the most common and usually the best choice- but several of the largest thread companies offer recycled polyester thread. Make sure to check their websites to see what they offer.

### Backings
- Many stabilizers feel like plastic but did you know they are not? Many are made from cellulose (wood fiber), chemical starch, or cotton and do not harm the environment. Companies worldwide are now using shredded discarded clothing as a base for “fabric-like” stabilizers. As mentioned above numerous companies you already shop with are offering environmentally friendly stabilizers, backing, and toppers. Make sure to check the site info for more.

## Recycling Fabric In Your Stash To Help Save The Environment
Recycling fabric is one of the oldest and easiest ways you can help! Repurposing fabric scraps is as old as clothing and easy to do. Before discarding that shirt or pants- ask yourself if there is any way you can use that fabric before you toss it out.
Who doesn’t like to save money while saving the environment? We have many suggestions to recycle your leftover fabric scraps. [**Click here to read ideas on recycling embroidery scraps**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-use-and-recycle-leftover-embroidery-stash-fabric-scraps/), including quilting, fabric buttons, and practice material!
Maybe you’ve just had an “oopsy” moment and ruined your garment. Instead of adding them to the high amount of textile pollution, why not fix and make your garment better with embroidery?
[**Click here to learn how to save your garments with embroidery** ](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-fix-holes-clothing-embroidery/) while being creative and fashionable.
## Eco-Friendly Machine Embroidery Ideas
So, we have a lot of information, but what kind of things can we make? Let’s go over ideas to get you started. You can take things you already have and reuse them or use scraps and fabric from your stash. These items will also help you reduce the amount of waste you put into the environment.
• Tote bags
• Lunch bags
• Reusable diapers
• Washcloths
• Why not create your own mottos and slogans to promote being environmentally friendly? If you’re green, say it proudly!

We have looked at many facets of green embroidery, but here are some final considerations you might want to consider when committing to using green embroidery. These are nominal for most of us, but you still need to be aware.
- **Electricity** – Being green means thinking ahead. If you’re not using your machine- turn it off. Reduce as much as you can!
- **Take care of your machine –** A machine which works hard will break down faster and in some cases can use more electricity! Keep it clean, and in the case of multi-needle machines, follow your instructions on oiling and maintenance.
- **Cost** – Many materials come at a price. Unfortunately, there is a cost of being green. Many of the green materials mentioned can cost more, but as more and more embroiderers begin to use them and the demand rises, prices will become more reasonable.
## Conclusion: Machine Embroidery And Being Green
So now we know more about the green movement and the materials we use, and how we can play a part in taking care of our amazing planet. Here are some things to keep in mind.
- Where do you get your materials? If you are committed to using green materials, research before you buy. You can also check out your local thrift store for recycled materials.
- What are your materials made of? Make sure to ask questions!
- Can you recycle? Don’t throw something away that you can recycle into something else!

### Embroidering A Neckline Tutorial
Remember what we said above? **Hoop first, take a picture, digitize, then stitch!** Let’s go into further detail.
Items needed to embroider your neckline
- [**Embroidery machine**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/what-is-the-best-embroidery-machine-for-a-home-business/)
- One shirt (sweatshirt or T-shirt) with a boat (oval) or crew (round) neck
- Lightweight fusible [**embroidery stabilizer**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-use-machine-embroidery-stabilizer/)
- Grid mat (you can also use a plastic kitchen cutting mat from the dollar store. Mark in 1-inch squares with a permanent marker. They’re reusable, and you can cut them to size to fit in your hoop.)
- [**Embroidery font**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-fonts/) or [**embroidery design**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-designs/)
- [**Scissors**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-scissors/)
- Iron
- Painters tape
- Camera (cell phone or a digital)
- Printer
- [**Mighty Hoops**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/mighty-hoops/) (not necessary, but it makes hooping a whole lot easier)
- [**Embroidery software**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-software/digitizing/)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQ2HLvyIR_s
**Step 1:** Turn the shirt inside out and lay it on a flat surface.
**Step 2:** Cut two pieces of fusible stabilizer. One piece should surround the entire area to be embroidered. The other piece should be placed 45 degrees to the neckline.

**Step 3:** If you use a hooping station, mark the center with painter’s tape
**Step 4:** Turn your shirt right side out. Mark the center of your shirt with painter’s tape or washable marker.
Lay down a grid template (cutting mats from the dollar store work great!). You can make a hole or a colored dot to know where the center of the grid is.
**Step 5:** Using the center line as a guide, place the hoop so that the edge is lined up with the edge of the hoop.
> *It is always important to have the grain of the shirt parallel to the edges of the hoop.*

> [Tweet](/)
**Step 6:** We marked the edge of the hoop with magnetic markers. This helps us know where to place the hoop when we remove the shirt and put the stabilizer on.
**Step 7:** Hoop your shirt with a stabilizer.
**Step 8:** Take a picture of your hoop, making sure to be straight down.
> *Taking a picture at an angle will cause your results to be off.*

> [Tweet](/)
**Step 9:** Save the picture as artwork (.png or .pdf) – you will use this as “artwork” over which you will digitize
**Step 10:** Open a new workspace in your embroidery software and Insert your picture as artwork into your workspace. Rescale to inches (if that is the measurement you used on your template). This way, you digitize your embroidery at the same “real” size as the shirt.
Since you placed a grid in 1-inch squares, this will help you size the artwork to 100%. If you need, you can digitize a line along a line in the picture and use it as a measure.
**Step 11:** Click and drag your image so it resizes the template with the guidelines of your embroidery software. You want the center of the picture at the center of the grid (0,0) on your screen.
> *Be sure to lock your artwork.*

**Step 12:** Insert the lettering (or design) of your choice. In this example, we’re using the [**ESA font, Angelina**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/product/esa-embroidery-font-line-angelina/).
Adjust your sizing, spacing, and curve to match the neckline.
**Step 13:** Print the artwork from your workspace and print at 100% (life-size). This will give you an accurate center point. The picture you print should be the same as your shirt in the hoop.
**Step 14:** Tape the artwork in place to match the neckline.
**Step 15:** Load your design into your machine and place your hoop in your machine. Position your needle either over the design start (to match) or the dead center (if you use center start).
**Step 16:** Trace your design before stitching. This will ensure you won’t hit your hoop with your presser foot.
**Step 17:** Optional: Place a piece of water-soluble stabilizer on top of a heavier shirt, such as a sweater. This will prevent the stitches from sinking into the shirt.
Stitch & your new shirt is ready to wear.
## Conclusion: Lining Up Your Hoop & Design Is Key
With this easy technique, getting the proper placement is easy! Remember:
- Hoop squarely – the better the hooping, the better the stitching
- Digitize at 100% every time. Check that the hoop in your software is the same size and shape as the one you are using.
- Take your time and measure twice so you only have to stitch once!
We know you’ll come up with some amazing things after a little inspiration and instruction. We can’t wait to see what you create next.

### [How To Easily Avoid & Fix Hoop Burn In Machine Embroidery](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-avoid-fix-embroidery-hoop-burn/)
**Published:** August 11, 2025
**Author:** Embroidery Legacy
**Content:**
Your embroidery machine has finished stitching the design. You hold the hoop up; the embroidery is flawless.
You feel excited that you have finished your project! You remove it from the hoop only to see markings around your stitch out! Is your garment ruined after all your hard work?!
Let’s learn more about hoop burn and how to treat it without an expensive visit to the embroidery emergency room!
## What Is Embroidery Hoop Burn?
It is the frustrating shiny mark left on the fabric in the shape of the hoop used. Fabric fibers distort from the compression and friction from the hoop halves.
We all want even, tight (but not TOO tight) hooping to ensure it does not shift when stitching an embroidery design. So what do we do?
We turn those tension screws on our hoop so it is nice and tight without the fabric in it. Then, we rock, twist, and smash to secure them while the fabric is in it. In the process, crushing your fabric can leave marks that may remain.
The hoop causes friction as it moves under pressure and compaction due to the lack of space available. Press air and moisture out of the fabric to force it into place.
Imagine shutting your fingers in a car door; that’s hoop burn. When this happens, you have two things working at the same time.
## What Fabrics Are Affected By Embroidery Hoop Burn?
It’s important to know the type of fabric when treating burns. Petroleum and natural fabrics can react differently and be more sensitive.
Though you wouldn’t think it’s possible, under a lot of pressure and movement, you can slightly melt and compact petroleum-based fabrics. This can happen to fabrics such as microfiber, nylon, or polyester (think of the fabrics you can melt even with a low iron).
It resembles a rope burn; it has the sensation of a burn, but it does not result from heat. Friction and pressure make it feel that way.
With cotton, silk, and other “natural” fabrics that rely on moisture to stay soft, you can actually press out the moisture and air between the fibers and smash them down. To restore what was taken away, simply use plain water.
Fabrics such as velvet, terry cloth, and netting can be harmed if their threads or piles are crushed or moved, which can destroy the finished item.

## How Can You Remove Hoop Burn In Machine Embroidery?
In virtually all cases, you can remove or, at the exceedingly least, lessen it!
Here are some of the best solutions we have found (let us know any solutions you have tried that are not on this list): - **Steam/water spray**– use a clothing steamer or steam iron to steam your clothes quickly. Make sure to hold the steamer or iron at a distance from the fabric. Alternatively, you can spray some water from a spray bottle to make the fabric fibers moist again. Lightly brushing the damp (but not wet) fabric with a soft brush is often helpful.
- **Laundry**– for those garments that can be laundered, wash the item in the washer to leave your garment fresh.
- **Vinegar**– is often under-used and misunderstood as a household cleaner. You can use a dilute solution, spray lightly on your fabric (do not spray on rayon), and steam with a steamer. Make sure to test natural fabric in an area you cannot see to ensure there is no color damage. Wash your garment and your set!
- **Lint brush**– for fabrics like velvet and terry cloth, the best method is often to use a lint brush or sticky roller to tease up those fibers and loops.
- **Spray starch**– can also help to rehydrate droopy, dry fibers.
These methods will not be very helpful for non-washable fabrics or surfaces such as leather and vinyl. Let’s discuss how to prevent it.
*While these suggestions may not remove all of the marks, they will help. We do suggest that you test any treatments on an out-of-the-way corner on your garment or stitching to ensure they are colorfast and can be treated with water.*
## How To Prevent Hoop Burn In Machine Embroidery
The greatest help is to avoid overtightening. This may sound tricky, but how do you know when tight is tight enough? Check out our machine embroidery hooping basics tutorial below for helpful tricks and tips.
> *Learn how to properly hoop your items for embroidery with our [**Complete Embroidery Hooping Guide**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-hoop-machine-embroidery-tutorial/). We will show you tips and tricks for great results!*

Certain methods can minimize damage, but they are not a complete solution. However, they will help your project turn out smooth and undamaged. Check out our tutorial below for helpful tricks and tips.
### Magnetic Hoops For Machine Embroidery
Magnetic hoops are very easy to use and reduce the marks on fabric. They come with a top and bottom, with extremely powerful magnets embedded in them.
> *If you want to simplify hooping, try [**Mighty Hoops**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/mighty-hoops/)! They work with many different embroidery machines, are less likely to experience fabric shifting, reduce wrist and arm strain, and make hooping the hardest fabrics easy! As a reseller, you’ll receive free shipping in the continental USA and design bonuses if you purchase through us!*

You must be cautious when handling these because snapping your fingers between them will leave a mark. Patients with pacemakers should exercise caution as the magnet’s strength can disrupt their device, and they should refrain from using it.
### Floating In Machine Embroidery
Floating is exactly like it sounds: you float the fabric. This hooping method works for small projects such as ITH or light fabrics. In short, you hoop a piece of stabilizer and then baste, with stitching or spray, the item you are embroidering.
This method is not recommended for shirts, hoodies, blankets, etc., as they are larger and will shift during embroidering. Floating is useful because you are never actually hooping your fabric and, therefore, cannot damage it.
### Masking Fabric In Machine Embroidery
[](https://embroiderylegacy.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/maskinghooping-rotated-e1666037155663.jpg)
You can make a mask like a mat in a picture frame to protect your sensitive fabrics (leather, suede, velvet, silk, etc.) from hoop burn. With fabrics like velvet, which has a nap, take an extra piece of the same fabric and lay the nap side down so you are nap to nap. This provides a cushion and gives the hoop a good grip.

## Conclusion: No More Embroidery Hoop Burn!
Here are a few of the points we covered… - The fabric needs room to breathe; don’t squeeze it! Make sure hoops can easily close and do not over-tighten.
- Spraying water or washing the item usu*ally* fixes most issues (depending on the fabric).
- Try a new way to hold fabric, like floating or using magnetic hoops, for easier embroidery.

### [How Long Does Embroidery Take: Unraveling the Math](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-long-does-embroidery-take/)
**Published:** August 11, 2025
**Author:** Embroidery Legacy
**Content:**
It’s math class at the Embroidery Legacy. Everyone get your rulers, calculators, and thinking caps on! Wait, you’re not a fan of math? But did you know that the embroidery you *already* use utilizes math, and you’re probably a bigger math whizz than you think?
We will discuss some basic math you may or may not already be using and why knowing this is essential to achieve the best results with your embroidery stitch-outs. Let’s dive in!
## Machine Embroidery: Measuring Inches to Millimeters
Depending on your location, you use the Imperial System (inches) or Metric System (millimeters) for your units of measure.
Take a meter and divide that into 100 you get 100 centimeters (cent=100). Take a centimeter and divide that by 10, and you get a millimeter, which we use often in embroidery. There are about 25 millimeters (25.4mm to be exact) in an inch.
We are not suggesting you use one system or the other. Still, there are advantages to the metric system (millimeters) when creating embroidery because you think in 10s. If you are more comfortable using the Imperial system, here is a conversion.
1 inch ÷ 25 (number of mm in an inch) = .04 inch per millimeter
## What Does A Grid Have To Do With Embroidery?
A picture (in this case, your design) is placed over a grid, and your embroidery software figures out where the stitches lay. Using a grid is like using algebra, using an x, and y axis. The axis is always fixed, and where the stitch points are is the variable.
## Calculating Percentages In Embroidery
There is that word again: cent. Must mean part of 100? Well, yes, it is.
If I have a stitch out and want it smaller, how much smaller do I want? A little or 20 percent smaller? How about larger; 20 percent larger? These calculations can be done in two different ways.
Select your design and look to the top toolbar of your [**embroidery software**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-software/digitizing/). You will see two boxes locked together with a little padlock. If you change either box, both will “resize” by whatever number you choose.
If you only want to change one (the horizontal (or X-axis) or the vertical (or Y-axis), unlock the lock button and resize to your desired amount.
You can also manually calculate by taking the number of inches (or mm) and multiplying by the percentage up or down you want.
To go up, let’s say, by 20%:
**5 inches x 1.20 (100 percent PLUS 20) = 6 inches**
Let’s say we want it to go down by 20%:
**5 inches x .80 (100 percent MINUS 20 percent) = 4 inches**
Resizing can be pretty easy once you do it a few times.
A word about sizing up or down using the 10% button. There is a button that allows you to size up or down by 10%. Remember, ***the 10% resizing calculation is based on the design size when you do the calculation!!*** If you resize 10% and then press the button again, it will ***not*** reduce the design size by 80%. It will reduce the design size by 10% (90% of the original design size) and then 10% of ***that new resized design*** (so 81% of the original design size).
## Calculating Stitches In Machine Embroidery
When the machine calculates the number of stitches you have, it considers the density and length of stitches. If you shorten the stitches’ length, they will be more dense. If you make them larger, they will be less dense.
## Calculating Embroidery Thread
Most embroidery programs can calculate the amount of thread and bobbin thread each design needs. Remember, this is ONLY an estimate and not exact. Give some slack to this number to ensure that you have enough.
## How Long Does Embroidery Take? How to Calculate Time In Machine Embroidery
Okay, so how long does embroidery take? Calculating time is not as confusing as it sounds! It just involves the amount of stitches your design has and the speed at which your machine is set to run.
> If I want to know how long (approximately) a design will take to stitch, I divide the ***total stitches*** by my machine speed ***stitches per minute.***
>
> Author Name
>
> [Tweet](/)
The design above has about 25,600 stitches, and let’s say my machine is set to the speed of 600 spm (stitches per minute):
**25,600 stitches ÷ 600 stitches per minute = 42 minutes.**
It will roughly take 42 minutes for the design to finish stitching.
However, remember that this is not the ***actual*** stitching time; this is just an estimate. Trims will add on time (about 120 stitches per trim), and starts and stops to trim or check stitching will also add extra time.

## Conclusion: Using Math In Embroidery Is Helpful
Don’t worry if things seem a bit confusing. It is a lot of information to consume! Take some time away and then take another read-over. You’ll get this! Pick one area that means a lot to you (number of stitches, time, etc.) and learn that while using your embroidery software. This math will only make sense if you can apply it in real life.

- Embroidery thread
- Water soluble mesh stabilizer
- Water soluble stabilizer
- Embroidery designs
- Editing **[embroidery software](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-software/digitizing/)**
- ½ yd tulle to coordinate with top fabric
### How To Wash Out Stabilizer
To remove water soluble wash away stabilizer, rinse in lukewarm water to dissolve the visible stabilizer. In a basin of water with fabric softener, soak the article for at least one hour, rinse, soak in soapy water for at least another hour, then rinse again.
Using a small mesh laundry bag, put the sleeves in the bag and wash them using the delicate cycle. Because there are multiple layers of water soluble stabilizer, it may take a couple of washings to remove all the stabilizer. It is worth all the washes and rinses to remove all the stabilizer to produce a soft product.
Learn more about **[embroidery stabilizers](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-use-machine-embroidery-stabilizer/)** here.
### Bobbins For Lace
When the opposing side of the lace can be seen, we suggest using a bobbin the same color as your top thread. However, sometimes it can be hard to find a bobbin the same color.
> *To make things easier, we suggest winding several bobbins with the embroidery thread you’re using before starting to embroidery your lace design.*

This way, when the bobbin runs out, one of the extras can just be popped in. In these sleeves, we used matching bobbin thread.

- Open your [**embroidery software program**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-software/digitizing/) and import the body design.
- Mirror image the design and bring the two arcs together to touch at the top and bottom.
- Copy and paste the newly created design twice, move one to the right, and another to the left of the design.
- Arrange the designs to align with the neckline.
- Cut a larger piece of fabric than what the pattern piece calls for to embroider the design. With extra fabric, there is room to adjust the end placement of the design after it’s embroidered. After the embroidery is complete, then you can cut the actual pattern out.
- Chalk the fabric of your shirt, add 1″ extra on the sides and from the armhole up to create a rectangle
- On the knit, identify the center of the design, and make a ‘sandwich’ of mesh water soluble stabilizer, knit and water soluble stabilizer.
- Hoop the sandwich centering the design. Stitch out the design.
- Trim the excess stabilizer, wash out the stabilizer, dry, and set aside.
### Step 2: creating lace sleeves
- The cap sleeves are great for giving a little coverage on the arm and are easy to make when combining the designs for lace. They usually fit in one hooping.
- To make a cap sleeve from a set-in sleeve pattern, measure down ½ “from the underarm point of the sleeve on each side and connect the 2 points.
- Use your software editing program to import the lace sleeve patterns. Both lace files used for the sleeves are [**AINL08A** ](https://embroiderylegacy.com/product/embroidery-design-vintage-lace-edition-6-vol-6-ainl08a-br-3-67-w-x-2-34-h/)and**[ AINL08B](https://embroiderylegacy.com/product/embroidery-design-vintage-lace-edition-6-vol-6-ainl08b-br-10-17-w-x-2-34-h/).**
- Position AINL08B at the bottom center of the page, add the single unit of this design, AINL08A, equally to the sides of AINL08B until the required length is achieved.
- When the border is compiled, move on to create the body of the sleeve. Import design [**AINL05C**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/product/embroidery-design-vintage-lace-edition-6-vol-4-ainl05c-br-2-70-w-x-1-92-h/) and copy-paste to create multiples of the design.
- At the top center, begin arranging the designs in different directions to fill the sleeve area with the designs touching one another.
- There may be gaps in areas, and a filler design is used to fill in the gap. In this shirt, our filler was a single flower design [**AIMR11**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/product/embroidery-design-vintage-lace-edition-4-vol-3-aimr11-br-1-30w-x-1-09h/).
- Once all the designs are arranged as desired, update the order they stitch out.
- First, stitch out the filler flower, second the main sleeve designs, and lately the border. Save the design.
- Prepare a ‘sandwich’ to stitch out the sleeve. This ‘sandwich’ is a layer of water soluble mesh, tulle, and another layer of water soluble mesh. Continue to hoop the sandwich, set the embroidery machine to stitch all one color, and stitch out the design.
- For the second sleeve, mirror image the design and stitch out the second sleeve.
- After both sleeves are stitched out, wash out the stabilizer (see the beginning of this blog for instructions), and block the sleeves to dry.
- Once the sleeves are dry, give them a light press from the wrong side and cut the sleeves using the sleeve pattern.
- Now all the pieces are embroidered, cut out the pieces using the pattern pieces, and construct the top based on your pattern instructions.
That’s it! Congratulations and great work on creating this beautiful project!

### [How to Embroider a Hat & Cap | Complete Machine Embroidery Guide](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-embroider-hats-caps-tutorial/)
**Published:** August 11, 2025
**Author:** Embroidery Legacy
**Content:**
Did you know that roughly 80% of profit-making embroiderers digitize on caps? Caps are not only a staple of the embroidery business, but they are also among the many clothing articles we embroiderers get to have fun and be creative with. Why not take the time to learn how to embroider on them, whether for business or pleasure?
Generally speaking, embroidering on beanies or toques is similar to embroidering on any other piece of fabric, so this article will specifically narrow in on embroidering on caps.
This article will teach you what you need to know to embroider on hats and caps properly. We will discuss:
- [Cap and hat terminology](#cap-hat-terminology)
- [Different hats for embroidery](#different-hats-for-embroidery)

- [How to properly hoop cap hats](#how-to-hoop-cap-hats-for-embroidery)
- [Digitizing tips to give you the best-embroidered results.](#digitizing-embroidery-designs-for-cap-hats)
Let’s dive in!
## Cap & Hat Terminology for Embroidery
**Crown**
- The cap’s crown is made up of 4, 5, or 6 panels. The most common configuration is the 6-panel cap commonly found in baseball caps.
**Visor**
- Also called a brim, bill, or visor. These can be flat with squared-off or round shapes or curved. Generally, it is a piece of plastic or cardboard covered in fabric. This is then stitched with decorative stitching to help keep its shape. Embroidering on the visor is a careful process. Please consider your machine before starting a design on the visor.
**Button**
- The button holds the panels together. It can be metal or plastic, which has been covered with fabric.
**Buckram**
- Is the backing you see on the reverse of the front panels. This stiffens the twill fabric and gives a solid base for embroidery. Buckram is a cotton fabric stiffened with a stabilizer, but it can also be made of plastic mesh. When using the caps with plastic mesh, use less dense designs as these can create bullet-proof areas which can break thread or needles.
**Sweatband**
- The sweatband that surrounds the cap’s inside absorbs moisture and protects the outside from stains. When embroidering, make sure to turn the band back, so you are not embroidering over it, as this will make the hat uncomfortable, reduce how well the band works and create very dense areas.
**Eyelets**
- Are the small embroidered holes on the top of the cap. These are for ventilation but can be excellent guides for your embroidery placement.
**Closure**
- Closures can come in an adjustable buckle, such as velcro. Some fitted caps come pre-sized and do not require an adjustment. The curved opening in the rear of the cap is a great place for names, teams etc. These are wonderful selling points.
## Choosing Your Cap Hat for Embroidery
Ball caps are all about variety. You look at a cap catalog or website and there are hundreds if not thousands of choices. You have your choice of color combinations, material, the height of the crown, type of bill, back closures and the list goes on and on. While there are hundreds of different hat styles and manufacturers out there, most hats generally fall under 3 main categories:
### 1. OPF (One-piece front) hats for embroidery
OPF usually categorize as “trucker/farmer” hats. These hats have one piece of foam laminated backing (gives the hat structure), and the rest of the hat is more of a mesh material. OPF hats are usually pretty easy to hoop and embroider because of their laminated backing, and there is no center seam in the hat.
### 2. Varsity/collegiate hats for embroidery
Varsity hats tend to fit a little closer to the head because they do not have any laminated backing (structure) on the front of the panel. Because of this, these hats do tend to move a little bit, which is why making sure hooping is done properly is so important.
### 3. Sports caps for embroidery
Sports caps are generally the most popular style of hat, especially for embroidery. This hat has a center seam down the middle of the front panel (Aka: the Bermuda triangle of embroidery. You generally tend to lose stitches in the center seam) and a laminated backing giving it structure.
## How To Embroider Cap Hats
When embroidering caps, there are various placement options. Some options are limited to embroidering before manufacturing (for example, the bill). But there are plenty of options for an embroiderer to consider. Most multi-needle embroidery machines can handle the front, both sides, the back of the cap, and even most places in between.
> It should be noted that embroidering a hat on a single-needle or flatbed machine is extremely difficult. You will need a cap frame & preferably a multi-needle embroidery machineto easily embroider caps. If you’d like to learn more about which machines we suggest, check out our [**What is the Best Embroidery Machine for a Home Business**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/what-is-the-best-embroidery-machine-for-a-home-business/) article.

The most common area embroidered is the front of the caps. Even the most basic cap frames are designed to do the front of caps. Today, most commercial embroidery machines utilize wide angle cap frames designed to go most of the way around the cap, typically 270º of rotation. This will handle not only the front of the caps but also the sides. That leaves the back, for which most embroiderers use a traditional round hoop.
Here we want to look at each location and see what needs to be done for the best results. While the cap’s makeup does play a big part in how each cap is framed, the basic principles will work regardless of the type of cap. Let’s start with the front and center.
### Machine embroidering the front and center of hats
The front of a cap is the most common placement and probably the easiest placement to sew. As mentioned, all cap frames are designed to embroider the front of the cap, if nothing else. The main variance with ball caps is whether or not the front panels are structured or not. Structured caps typically have a fused buckram backing inside, making the crown of the cap stand up. Unstructured (varsity & collegiate style hats) do not have this and tend to be more floppy.
For unstructured caps, it’s important to use cap backing (stabilizer). Cap backing is a stiff and heavy tear away. It provides stabilization for the fabric for unstructured caps and helps hold the shape of the cap while it’s embroidered. Structured caps don’t need the backing as the fused buckram acts as the stabilizer.
Then you have some in-between styles like soft buckram or even foam-backed caps. For caps like these, using a piece of cap backing is recommended and yields excellent results.
When doing front only placements on structured caps, it’s not always necessary to put the back clip on the frame of wide-angle caps frames. In fact, for larger designs, it’s often advantageous to leave the back clip off for these types of caps. It gives a little flexibility to the cap and prevents distortion of the design at the top of the design.
### Machine embroidering the side of hats
For side placements, you must utilize the back clip. The primary purpose of the back clip(s) is for side placements on caps. Wide-angle cap frames vary from brand to brand. The main difference is the back clips, as some have one large clip or one on each side of the back. Most brands use multiple clips that look a lot like binder clips from an office supply store. Whatever the type of clip, it’s important to use them when sewing side placements on caps. Otherwise, the design will look like it’s running downhill.
While cap backing may be optional for front placements on certain caps, it’s a necessity for side placements. There is no fused buckram on the sides of caps and, therefore, must be stabilized. For normal twill caps, a single piece of cap backing will work just fine.
> *Tip: Flexfit and other stretch-to-fit caps require at least 2 pieces of backing, if not a cutaway backing.*

The same goes for a mesh cap. Yes, it’s possible to sew on mesh caps with the proper stabilization. The backing provides the necessary material to hold the stitches together. For this reason, we recommend a cutaway stabilizer.
It can sometimes be tricky to get the backing to stay in place on the side while hooping the cap. The tendency would be to tuck it under the frame. While that holds it in place while on the framing device, the backing will fall right out afterward as it is not being held in place by the frame. The cap has to be hooped with the backing on top of the frame.
One way to overcome this hassle is by placing a piece of double-sided tape (such as carpet tape found at most home improvement stores) on the side of the cap frame. Then peel the backing paper off and stick the cap backing onto the tape. This will secure the hold the backing in place long enough to get the cap hooped but pulls off easily from the frame.

### Embroidering the back of hats
Placements on the back of caps are relatively straightforward. There are several attachments on the market to assist with this placement, but a simple solution to cap back is to use a conventional small round hoop. Most machines come with a 12cm or 4.5 round hoop, which is the perfect size to fit the back of a cap, especially those with openings. The back of a cap can be hooped on a table corner if necessary, eliminating the need for any special hooping devices.
To align the back, use the marks that are typically molded into the hoop. The center seam aligns with the marks at 12 and 6 o’clock. The edge of the opening aligns with the other marks.
To stabilize the back, be sure the piece of backing covers the entire hoop. The cap back will not cover the whole hoop, but it needs to cover the whole hoop for the backing to provide great stabilization.

To start embroidering on your hats and caps, they will need to be hooped properly. Whether you’re new to embroidery or an experienced embroiderer, I’m sure we can all agree that hooping caps can be difficult, especially without proper instructions. I frequently see people post about their failed embroidery hat projects, asking what went wrong, and often end up blaming their machines. Little do they know that if their cap isn’t hooped correctly, it can lead to disastrous results. As with any embroidery project, if your hooping isn’t clean, your embroidery won’t be either.
Let’s go over a hooping technique for caps/hats that the Embroidery Legacy used on our caps while running two of North America’s largest embroidery production factories in the 1990s. Follow these steps to ensure your cap is hooped properly. Before we get started, it’s important to understand that you will need a cap hooping accessory. This accessory consists of 3 main components:
1. **Driver:** the driver fits right over the top of the arm of the machine.
2. **Cap frame:** the cap frame is what your hat will be attached to.
3. **Jig:** the jig attaches the cap frame for more accurate hooping.

**Step 1:** Making sure your cap frame is properly secured to the jig. You will know it’s secure because it will click into place and will have no, to hardly any, wiggle room.
**Step 2:** We want to get the cap frame into position for our hat. We’ll start by moving the peak mount out of position as well as the band.
**Step 3:** Now that the jig is ready for hooping, we need to prepare the hat itself. We’ll start by moving the band on the inside of the cap out of the way, as the band will be placed underneath the plate on the jig. (Be sure to try and align the red line to the center seam)
**Step 4:** As our hat is on the cap frame and the band of our hat is securely in place, we’re going to take the cap frame band/strap and secure it so the teeth of the band lines up to the base of our cap. Once in position, push the strap down to lock it. Be sure there is no excess space where the peak of the hat meets the crown.
**Step 5:** For our final step, we’re going to start by placing material over the peak of the hat to avoid unwanted markings on our cap **(hats are generally one of the hardest materials to get hoop burn out of)**. Once the material is in place simply engage the peak mount to ensure the peak of the hat won’t hit the machine while it’s embroidering.
Your hat is now successfully hooped.
## Embroidery Designs for Hats and Caps
Always remember, a hat needs to be hooped properly to run successfully on a machine. But what is equally or even more important is that the [embroidery design](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-designs/) is digitized specifically knowing that it will be embroidered on a curved surface.
Designs need to be digitized specifically for caps for best results. Most experienced digitizers will take into account a design that is size friendly for a finished hat and digitize it accordingly.
## Digitizing Embroidery Designs for Cap Hats
If you don’t find the design you’re looking for or don’t want to spend the money outsourcing your designs, why not digitize it yourself? If you’re unfamiliar with embroidery digitizing, check out our [**What is Embroidery Digitizing**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-what-is-embroidery-digitizing/) Article.
When digitizing designs for caps and hats, there is one rule you should always follow.
> *The rule when it comes to digitizing caps: always start bottom-up and center-outward.*
>
> Author Name
>
> [Tweet](/)
You always want to start digitizing from the bottom up (from the peak of the hat, up to the crown); otherwise, your stitching will buckle over, and you will get poor results. You also want to start digitizing from the inside out (start from the center of the cap and proceed outward), ensuring no buckling will occur.
There are many other things to consider when digitizing a cap, such as changing the underlay, why you need to overlap satin stitches, fixing hat embroidery designs, separating and gaps between objects, and sew much more.
To get answers to all these questions and more, check out our Youtube video tutorial on digitizing hats and getting help with your hat embroidery. **[Click here ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oab4I9-zVSQ&t=1s)to watch** **now**.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oab4I9-zVSQ&t=1s
Although the front of a cap is usually most popular, what about when you want to digitize the back of a cap? You want your lettering to line up just perfectly, but with different styles of hats, what can be done? Watch the video below as we explain a few simple steps to follow so you can create a template and create your perfect design.

## Don’t Have A Multi-Needle Embroidery Machine or Cap Attachments? You Can Still Embroider Hats!
If you have a flatbed or single needle embroidery machine, you might be wondering “can I still embroider on hats”? The answer is yes! With this creative workaround. Why not instead use custom embroidery patches and attach them to the cap?

Patches include a crisp merrowed edge, mimicking using a “merrow machine.” Inside these merrow edges, you can insert designs or lettering to easily create a personalized patch with any material of your choice. These patches can then be easily attached to your cap when using **Post-Patch Iron-On Seal**. **Click here** to see our suggested supplies and materials to use to create unique professional-looking patches for the best results on your caps.
## Conclusion: Embroidering Hats Is Easy Using These Tips & The Right Software
Embroidering on hats can be both fun and profitable. Don’t forget it’s easiest to embroider on a cap when you have a cap frame and multi-needle. Utilizing the sides and backs of caps can provide coverage around the cap. That should satisfy even the most demanding of customers. Just be sure to follow the tips outlined above. As we know, hooping a cap can be difficult, but using the proper hooping accessories will make a world of difference! Follow our steps, and it’ll take away your frustration.
Remember the most important aspect of embroidering a hat—the embroidery! Ensure the design you stitch out is created for hats to avoid any troubles. If you want to create your designs, remember to use the bottom-up, center-forward rule.

### [Master How To Embroider Fleece with Easy Steps for Beginners](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-embroider-fleece/)
**Published:** August 11, 2025
**Author:** Embroidery Legacy
**Content:**
Warm and oh-so-cozy! Fleece has been great for curling up on a cold night, but don’t be afraid to use it as a canvas and add some embroidered creativity! From personalized messages to vibrant patterns to fun designs, you can turn your simple fleece project into a work of art.
Learn how to machine embroider on fleece clothing and home decor with our useful tips and instructions. Grab your fleece, threads, and embroidery machine, and let’s begin to keep you warm and inspired year-round!
## Everything You Need To Know About Fleece
Fleece is a soft and fluffy fabric made by brushing or abrading double-knit on one or both sides. It can be made from different materials, but the differences come from *how* the fleece is knit and brushed.
**Cotton Fleece**
Remember your trusty sweatpants when you were young(er)? (Smooth knit on one side and fluffy on the inside?) Those were cotton fleece. While they were super soft and cozy to start, they got a little more rough as time continued.
**Polyester Fleece**
Virtually ALL fleece is polyester today. Why? Polyester begins as melted plastic and undergoes extrusion and stretching to form the finest thread imaginable (think micro).
The advantage is it stays soft and will not shrink. A quick way to tell the difference between poly and cotton is the sheen on the smooth side.
**Sherpa**
The name comes from *sherpas* in Nepal and other Asian countries. They wear lambskin clothing because it is a great insulator and keeps them warm. Sherpa fleece is super fluffy, high pile, and warm with a micro-fine fiber.
**Polar Fleece**
It is thicker and more insulating, its “fluff” is on both sides, and the nap is very fine. Great for fleece blankets.
**Foam Center Fabric**
People often confuse this with fleece. A thin foam sheet is combined with brushed knit to insulate well to make a fake fleece. You can still embroider on it, but always do a test stitch before committing to a garment.
## What Quality Of Fleece Should You Use?
This is a loaded question! There are pros and cons to each type of fleece:
- Cotton: can pill and become less soft as time continues.
- Polyester: pilling is a common problem, but “non-pill” types are available.
- Non-pill fleece: works well but can be more expensive.
- Sherpa: great to wear, but the microfiber can clump together and lose its softness quickly. Because of the micro-fine fiber, debris can become trapped and can be *very* difficult to get out.
Though the double-sided fleece can look the same, often you will find it is *not!*
Fleece has a right and wrong side. To find the right side, look for smoother and more even fibers. That is the right side. The wrong side will have a slightly pilled appearance.
When working with fleece, you will notice a lot of “fuzzies” around your workspace. Not only on the table but also on/in your machine’s needle plate and bobbin.
Always use a gentle brush to remove them, and never blow into the machine, as it pushes the fuzz deeper.

## Tips For Embroidering On Fleece: Embroidery Designs
When trying to find a design, choose one *without* thin lines! Lines vanish in fluff without a knockdown stitch, which can still be difficult to spot. If you have single lines, opt for a triple stitch or backstitch, which doubles or triples the thread.
Fleece can handle dense designs, but bullet-proof designs will warp the fabric and may even tear the knit. Since fleece is so stretchy, packing in thousands of stitches will cause the fabric to expand like a bowl.

## Do I Hoop or Float Fleece In Embroidery?
This really depends on your preference. Here are some suggestions:
- Hooping: is more secure than floating and the best choice for blankets, garments, and any fabric larger than the hoop.
- Floating: just the opposite. Floating is okay for small projects like stuffed animals or small bags that fit in the hoop. You can use some temporary adhesive spray or a tack down line to prevent movement of your garment.
- Spray adhesive: only use temporary sticky spray designed for embroidery. Fleece has many fluffy microfibers. Spraying too much glue can make the fibers stick together and leave a residue.

For those using regular hoops, hoop burn can be an issue. To prevent this, use plain or double tissue paper and create a barrier between your clothes and hoops to reduce friction. You can also use plain white cotton. Just cut a hole big enough for your embroidery, lay the fabric window down and hoop.

## What Stabilizer Do You Use For Fleece?
Remember the stretch of most fleece fabrics and the weight of the embroidery. Avoid using heavier tear-away stabilizers, as you will feel them after stitching.
We suggest using 1-2 layers of no-show mesh or cutaway. If you do choose to use water-soluble stabilizers, be ready to wash that ALL out and not leave a residue. You will definitely see the effects of gluing together microfiber.
> *Different stabilizers are used for different fabrics; read the [**complete embroidery stabilizer guide**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-use-machine-embroidery-stabilizer/) for the best results.*
>
> Author Name
>
> [Tweet](/)
Use an iron-on stabilizer if necessary, but be careful because fleece can melt when heated.
### Fleece Topper
You should use a water soluble topping on the top of the fleece. Be sure to remove as much as possible before you attempt to rinse out. If possible, wash in a washing machine so the fabric will be well-soaked and agitated.
## Thread For Fleece
You can use any thread on fleece fabrics, but you must consider some factors.
- Metallic thread is a poly core wrapped with metal or mylar, which can catch in the fluffy microfibers.
- Fine threads will sink in and remain invisible.
- Rayon can also get “dreaded” with the microfibers.

## Conclusion: Follow These Tips For Great Embroidered Results
Remember these top tips when embroidering your next fleece garment for great stitched-out results:
- When picking fleece, consider the pros and cons of each type to find the best one for your project.
- Choose embroidery designs without thin lines (these will quickly disappear in the fluff of your fabric).
- The knockdown stitch gives a smoother background for stitching your design on.
- Hoop when using fabric larger than the hoop.
- Float when using fabric within the hoop (don’t forget to use some embroidery adhesive spray!).
- Stabilize with 1-2 layers of no-show mesh or cutaway
- Use a water-soluble topper.
- Avoid using finer threads, so they don’t sink into the fabric.

### [Free In-The-Hoop Face Mask Embroidery Design & Tutorial](https://embroiderylegacy.com/free-embroidery-project-face-mask-design/)
**Published:** August 11, 2025
**Author:** Embroidery Legacy
**Content:**
With the current outbreak of the coronavirus, it seems life as we’ve known it has come to a sudden halt. Things are changing very quickly! Walking into a store to buy milk will no longer be an option without trying to protect ourselves from the questionable bacteria lurking around. With many protective measures now offered, what are you going to be doing differently to ensure your health and safety?
As the coronavirus can be easily spread through respiratory droplets, ensuring limited exposure of your face is key! With a high demand for face masks, it isn’t easy to find any face masks to help protect ourselves. Because of this shortage, it can leave us feeling uncertain and concerned about everyday life, even when you’re just waiting in line at the grocery store! We believe that everyone should feel safe, so we are going to help show you how to create your own face mask and provide you with a face mask pattern… For free!
## Download your free in-the-hoop face mask design
[Download my free design files now](https://embroiderylegacy.com//wp-content/uploads/2020/05/ELFaceMask.zip)
Our team here at Embroidery Legacy is trying to do our part in battling this pandemic by offering a free face mask design to help protect you against the spread and transmission of the coronavirus. Because of the face mask shortages, we are providing face mask design patterns for adult large and small, as well as child large and small sizes.
However, with this free design, we do ask you a small favor. Please not share these design files with others, but rather direct them to download them themselves from this page of our website. We hope that this free download will ensure better personal protection for yourself, your friends, and your family. Or, if you are distributing them as a good deed, we thank you for your active role in helping to protect the community.
You may also use these face masks for commercial purposes. With the decline in small businesses, we would like to help contribute to growing the economy. There is nothing wrong with filling a void in supply and helping to fill the demand for these masks for profit! If you previously ran an embroidery business that is now suffering or you’re currently out of work, your family still has to eat. So feel free to sell these finished embroidered masks (but not the digital design files themselves).
The dimensions of these design files are 200 X 300.
## Our face mask design files are production-friendly
This in-the-hoop facemask design was specially digitized to be as production-friendly as possible. The more masks you can create within a given time frame the better. Alongside an incredibly low stitch count (which equals less run time on your machine), tear-away stabilizer is also used because it is the most cost-effective product to use. From a production standpoint, it minimizes finishing time and ensures that the only material needed within the finished mask is the outer and inner material used. Stabilizers left with the product could prevent the airflow necessary.
## Supplies required:
The face mask design pattern we are providing for free download has a reduced stitch count, so you can use less resources to produce more products.
The supplies required include:
- 200 x 300 Hoop
- Two Pieces of Tear-away Stabilizer
- Painters Tape
- Stapler
- Two Straps, either elastic (two 7” straps) or cotton (four 16” straps)
- Four 10” x 10” pieces of fabric of your choice, or two 12” x 7” pieces of fabric
### Which types of fabric should you use?
Certain fabrics used to create your face masks can help with breathability and the effectiveness of limiting the spread of contagious diseases:.
- Cotton is a great fabric to help filter out large particles and has excellent breathability.
- Nylon is also a recommended fabric as it has a high filtration rate, but it has limited breathability.
You can do a quick check to make sure the material you have will provide some protection by holding it up to the light and seeing if you can see through the fibers. No matter what you choose to make your face mask with, having something covering your face is better than nothing.
## In-the-hoop embroidered face mask tutorial:
**Part 1**
Step 1: Hoop your Tear-away Stabilizer and place on your machine. [If you need some assistance for hooping techniques, click here](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-hoop-machine-embroidery-tutorial/)
**Step 2:** Run placement stitches
**Step 3:** Lay your fabric over the placement stitches, make sure it lays flat and fully covers.
Lay your fabric over the other side, it can overlap slightly in the middle.
**Step 4:** Smooth out the fabric. Run the tack-down stitch.
**Step 5:** Next run the logo.
**Step 6:** Lay the strap in the top corner and tape in place. Make sure it covers the line so it will get sewn in. Bring the other end of the strap down to the other corner and make sure it covers the bottom line. Tape it in place.
Make sure the tape is outside of the stitching areas.
**Step 7:** Run the tack-down stitch to hold the strap in place. Make sure both sides grab and are sewn down in place.
**Step 8:** Take your second piece of fabric and place it face down on top of each side. Make sure they lay as flat as possible.
**Step 9:** Run the next tack-down stitch. This finishes Part 1. Remove it from your machine.
**Part 2**
**Step 1:** Remove everything from your hoop and cut down the middle to separate them.
**Step 2:** Cut about 1/8th of an inch away from the bean stitch
Just outside of the “bean stitch”
Cut right along the remaining lines.
Cut out the second side the same way.
**Step 3:** Remove stabilizer from both sides
**Step 4:** Turn both pieces inside out. Finger press the seams
**Step 5:** Line up all 4 pieces exactly together.
**Step 6:** Staple the sides together. Make sure it’s all lined up smoothly
**Step 7:** Hoop your second piece of stabilizer
**Step 8:** Run the placement line
**Step 9:** Position the mask in place, making sure it’s lined up to the guide.
**Step 10:** Sew the next tack down stitches
**Step 11:** Remove from the stabilizer and cut along the edge. Turn it inside out.
**Step 12:** All done! Congratulations you just made yourself a face mask
Comes in Adult large and small, and Child large and small. Includes SVG file.
## A commercial machine will speed up your production
Like anything, when it comes to making more masks, you need the right tools for the job. Creating 1 mask at a time on your flatbed machine is a great way to help prevent the spread of infectious diseases for yourself, but if you’re really looking to make a difference creating them for others (whether it be for goodwill or business purposes), having a commercial machine will significantly increase your productivity.
Using the ZSK as an example (given that in our opinion, it is the best commercial machine available), using their sash frame attachment this machine allows you to create 2 masks at a time for step 1 of our tutorial process outlined above, and 6 masks at a time for step 2. Not to mention that the ZSK can also run at 1200 stitches per minute with precision. In comparison, most home machines run between 500 – 1000 stitches per minute.
Using a quality commercial machine can more than triple your mask output!
## What’s next?
The next step is to [download our free mask pattern by clicking here](https://embroiderylegacy.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/ELFaceMask.zip) if you haven’t already.
Let me be the first to thank you for doing your part in helping to stop the spread of this infectious disease! Whether it’s for personal or business purposes, we’re all in this together, and every mask made is another step towards us getting things back (at least somewhat) to where they were before this pandemic struck.

### [4 Helpful Tips For Machine Embroidery & Digitizing On Knit Fabrics](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-embroider-digitize-on-knit-fabric/)
**Published:** August 11, 2025
**Author:** John Deer
**Content:**
Digitizing for difficult fabrics can sometimes be, you guessed it, difficult! Many embroiderers consider knitwear a ‘difficult fabric,’ so how can we make embroidering it less difficult?
When tackling this type of fabric, you’ll need good embroidery and digitizing techniques. Let’s discuss how to machine embroider on knit fabrics.
## Stabilizer For Embroidering Knitwear
Using the right stabilizer when embroidering on knitwear makes a big difference.
There are many stabilizer products that can aid embroidering on knits. One of my favorites is a “no-show mesh” that gives excellent stability and looks invisible when used.
The loose weave of knitted fabrics means that you must be careful of how the embroidery will distort. Because of distortion, it causes many embroiderers to use a thick cut away stabilizer to compensate.
Using a thick cut-away stabilizer is often a mistake. The outline of the stabilizer is as noticeable as the embroidery.
For designs with many fills, I also suggest using a ‘fusible no-show mesh’ ironed onto the garment before hooping. Mesh backings are helpful and offer support because they have the same kind of surface as the material.

Using a water-soluble topping when embroidering small detail or lettering will also improve quality.

## Digitizing Knitwear Stitch Lengths
Adjusting the stitch length for running stitches to 1.5mm to 2.5mm will cause the stitches to sink into the fabric’s weave. Doing this does nothing other than adding unnecessary stitches.
Adjusting your stitch length longer, say 3mm-5mm, will cause the stitch to ‘loft’ on top of the fabric. This will provide support to the design. This principle for running stitches also applies to the underlay (we’ll talk more about that below).

Designs with fewer stitches run and look better on knitted fabrics than those with more because of the longer stitch lengths.
The biggest complaint I usually hear concerning embroidery on knits is that small lettering doesn’t embroider well. It will look jagged or saw-toothed in appearance. It helps if you look at how the fabric is milled. It is usually vertical and lose enough that you can see the ribs in the fabric.
Applying embroidery to knitting can cause a column to appear to have ‘moved.’ It happens when the column falls on either side of the ribs. This can be highly frustrating for a digitizer because what you see on-screen looks perfectly straight compared to the finished appearance once stitched.
## Digitizing Underlay for Knitwear
On regular fabrics, an edge run underlay is the standard; but I suggest using a double zig-zag with knitwear. Even if your software has zig-zag underlay as an option, you should put the stitches down manually.
> *Learn more about [**Underlay Stitches for Embroidery & Digitizing**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-digitizing-underlay-digitizing/) to master the different types of uderlay and how to use them.*
>
> Author Name
>
> [Tweet](/)
Manually lay zig-zag stitches in the corners of the columns. This will cover the ribs of the fabric. This will also prevent them from sinking.
If the column stitch is thicker, the cover stitch can be stabilized with the right underlay in the right order.
If the column is wider, you secure it using a double zig-zag. You can then hold it all in place by using an edge run underlay.
Knitted fabrics have stretch, and the topstitching will easily distort if the underlay foundations aren’t placed down correctly. Underlay types and stitch lengths should also be altered. Too many digitizers never experiment with these settings and keep their software on the default settings.
## Digitizing Knitwear Topstitches
The main thing to look at regarding the topstitching is the direction of the stitches.
Because most knitted fabrics are milled vertically, you’ll want to avoid using the same stitch direction whenever possible. Fill stitches and satin stitches will sink into the material and cause it to distort horizontally.
> *Learn more about the different stitch types, digitizing theory, and more in our [**Digitizing Dream Course**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-classes/digitizing-education/) where you’ll be able to create quality embroidery with endless creative possibilities!*

>
> [Tweet](/)
Standard densities will look sparse as the stitches sink into the fabric. This is when digitizers tend to increase the density of the fill stitch instead of changing the stitch direction.
I have used a trick to avoid the “ditches” on knitted fabrics. This involves laying down a loose density fill. The fill provides a base for embroidered text, but it must be laid horizontally and have no underlay. You might see the underlay through the top stitching if the fill is loose.
Running the fill in the same color as the garment will make it unnoticeable. Unless you look very closely, it will be seen (as seen above).
## Conclusion: Machine Embroider Knitwear With Great Results
Always consider minimum letting rights and column widths for embroidered designs on knitted fabrics. It’s also important to experiment and learn how to realistically reduce detail within a design.
Working with knitted fabrics requires careful consideration. It is better to have a clean-looking design with less detail than a detailed design that stitches terribly.

### [7 Financial Mistakes That Will Hurt Your Embroidery Business](https://embroiderylegacy.com/financial-mistakes-starting-an-embroidery-business/)
**Published:** August 11, 2025
**Author:** Embroidery Legacy
**Content:**
A financial guide to help you start and succeed with your embroidery business
This guide will help you prevent common mistakes that could cost you big when running your home embroidery business. Instead, let’s start you on the right track so you can make money!
Whether your embroidery business starts slow, or you have plenty of orders to fill, one thing will eventually happen. You’ll reach a point where you begin to grow more than expected. This is the testing moment for most businesses — how they handle the growth.
> *You might have all the right systems in place, emails sent, designs stored, but if your money management isn’t right, the business will eventually crumble.*

Whenever someone starts a business, it doesn’t come with the perfect financial plan. You have to create it yourself. Some don’t take this seriously, and what could have been a profitable business will come crashing down when it’s tax time, or when there isn’t enough cash left over to pay the expenses.
If you don’t have an embroidery business but are interested in starting one, [**check out our 5 crucial steps for how to start an embroidery business**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-start-an-embroidery-business/) and our guide on **[How to Set Up Shop for an Embroidery Business](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-start-an-embroidery-business-from-home/)**. Turning your hobby into a business is easier than you think.
## How to start making money with your embroidery machine (boost your income)
Here are a few not so secret mistakes to avoid when starting out:
### 1. Not having a separate bank account
This might be the worst mistake a business owner could make. The last thing any business owner wants is to lose track of profits, expenses, and tax allocations. When your personal account is used as your primary business account, things get messy — fast.
When your business money gets mingled with your personal money, it isn’t easy to draw the line when paying yourself or other expenses. It’s challenging to accurately keep track of funds used for yourself and funds necessary for your business’s survival.
Even if you create a spreadsheet and calculate every penny, you’d be wasting too much time. Time that could be better spent, say, embroidering.
Pay a visit to your local bank. Shop around for business accounts and find the best rates. Any money you earn from your business should be going into your business account and not directly into your pocket. You will need to allocate percentages of your earnings to different financial categories for your business, which leads us to the next mistake.
### 2. Not properly allocating your funds
Even if you create a separate business bank account, you’ll still need to manage your income and break it into portions. This is a point of failure for many businesses once they begin to grow. They aren’t properly allocating the funds earned, spending too much or too little in certain areas like taxes or payroll.
Mike Michalowicz, the author of *Profit First,* writes about an excellent strategy for dividing your earnings for your business’s various needs. It is a tried and true concept that has brought many companies out of a financial crisis.
Michalowicz says that a business owner should pay themselves first, allocating a portion of their earnings into a “profit” account immediately. However, this is not without first setting up separate savings accounts for other expenses.
Most banks allow you to have almost unlimited savings accounts linked to your main business account. This will enable you to create cash “buckets” for the core functions of your business. Michalowicz suggests creating at least five labeled:
- Income/ Revenue
- Owners Pay Account
- Operating expenses
- Taxes
- Profit
From there, any time you receive a payment, it would go directly into your Income/Revenue account. Then you can allocate the funds into the appropriate accounts based on percentages that suit you and your business needs.
It’ll be up to you to decide how much money needs to go into each account. For example, the Operating Expenses account should have a percentage of income dropped into it that’ll cover your yearly costs, over time.
You’ll need to set up a system. How often do you allocate the funds? Once or twice a month? At the beginning and middle? Or middle and end? These are all things that you will need to sit down and work out.
The profit account will likely get a tiny percentage to start. Mike suggests up to 5% of your earnings. Every quarter you can pay yourself a little bonus, or use the money to knock down debt.

### 3. Not setting money aside for taxes
We touched on having a tax account earlier. Although many small embroidery businesses may start as cash only, this is extremely important to keep in mind especially as you grow. Whether you’re a sole proprietor or a limited liability corporation, You’ll always need to pay your taxes. Depending on your earnings, you’ll fall into a tax bracket category, typically starting at 20% and moving up from there.
It’s vital to understand that a percentage of every dollar you earn belongs to the government and not you. Treating it as the government’s money and setting it aside will save you many headaches and possibly legal trouble.
When tax time rears its ugly head, you’ll be prepared to pay your taxes. The last thing you want is to sit there, gripping your temples, wondering whether you should dip into your personal savings account to pay the taxman.
### 4. Quitting your day job too early
For some of you, machine embroidery will always be a side job, and that’s okay -It’s how you like it. For others, you’ll want to grow and expand your business to do what you love every day. It’s hard to know when, if ever, there is a perfect time to leave behind a stable income and focus entirely on the business.
Your business must be able to support you on its own before you can make the leap. Of course, once you begin to work on your home embroidery business full time, you gain time to work more and make up the extra cash you need. [**Check out our 5 tips to maximize your profit for your embroidery business here**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-maximize-profits-in-your-embroidery-business/). It’s important to remember that your business’s success and profitability rely on the systems you put in place.
An excellent way to hedge your bet is to build-up a “runway.” In business, this refers to an amount of money that could carry you through a few months of operation if your business is making little or no money.
Calculate how much money you would need to survive for six months without earning anything. Take the time to save up that amount of cash, and when you are ready, you can leap to working on your business full time.
The “runway” will be there if you experience a few slow months, or while you ramp things up in your business. Remember, the runway is there to support an already functioning business. It wouldn’t be wise to create a runway, then quit your job and start a business.
### 5. Wasting money on “good” investments
The best thing you can do for yourself when running a machine embroidery business is making sure you have high-quality equipment and proper training.

That statement is as true today as it was back then. That’s why you’re reading this article. That’s why you want to learn everything you can about machine embroidery, even the foundational techniques.
You can spend your hard-earned dollars on embroidery books and magazines — that’s fine. But what’s really going to pay off is starting with the right knowledge and skills to set yourself up for success.
Have a look at our [**Free Beginner’s Embroidery Course.**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-classes/free-beginners-course/) This course is designed to teach you essential techniques and tips for achieving the best results, ensuring you avoid costly mistakes and wasted time. After all, time is money! With step-by-step guidance from experts in the field, this course will help you build the skills you need to create beautiful, high-quality embroidery projects with confidence.
Another important investment is your machine. This is where some people will try to save money, only to be burned by this decision in the long run.

Read the several factors you should know to choose the [**best embroidery machine for your home business**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/what-is-the-best-embroidery-machine-for-a-home-business/).*

Every second that your machine is down is a second that you have a client waiting.
### 6. Not automating parts of your home business
It’s easy to grab a pen and scrap of paper to jot down some numbers or record someone’s contact information. It’s not easy to find that piece of paper two weeks later when you need to figure out what you paid for thread or the details of an important bulk order.
It’s no secret that email is crucial for almost any business to survive in this day and age. Many small business owners and entrepreneurs aren’t aware that things like a Customer Relationship Manager, or CRM, exist.
Here’s how they work: Once you set up a business email, you can connect it to a CRM like Hubspot. It’s completely free and will track all of your clients and tasks in one place. You can leave notes and reminders pinned to your client’s email to remind you of a task or follow up.
This is an excellent tool in helping us avoid human error and forgetfulness. There will come a time when you’ll have an old client return to you for another project. You’ll scratch your head trying to recall the previous order and their preferences, or what they were like to work with.
> *A CRM allows you to record all of this information. The next time they reach out to you, you’ll have a detailed list of all the times you’ve contacted each other, what you’ve talked about, and when you should contact them again.*

### 7. Not helping your accountant (and therefore your business)
Another essential piece of software to incorporate into your business is a digital bookkeeper, like Quickbooks, or GoDaddy Accounting. Writing things down is nice, but let’s face it, it’s a thing of the past. You need well-recorded data. If it doesn’t get measured, it doesn’t get managed.
Inputting all of your financials into an accounting software will save you enormous amounts of work and headache when tax season rolls around. These days, the software is capable of doing all of the tedious and complicated equations for you.
You’ll get beautiful pie graphs and charts showing you how your business is spending money. This will give you a much clearer picture of your financial health. It’s still a good idea to have a professional accountant look over your numbers. Your accountant will breathe a sigh of relief when you come in with a laptop and your calculations ready and not a folder as thick as an old encyclopedia.
## Apply these financial tips to your embroidery business… If possible, when you first start
Using these financial tips will help you handle your business’s growth by creating the perfect financial plan.
Opening separate bank accounts is a great way to keep track of your funds and where they’re going, and properly allocating your funds is essential for proper management of your income. Setting aside money for taxes is crucial as a certain percentage of your money always belongs to the government. It’s also important not to use this business as your main income source until you have good savings to carry you through financial uncertainty. Use your money on good investments, such as a good machine or proper training that’ll help make you more profitable.
We also suggest automating your business to properly document your clients and their information, making you more organized and professional. Finally, we recommend helping your accountant by inputting your financials into accounting software; this way, everything is managed correctly and documented.
> *In the end, a business is as much about the systems you have in place as it is about the work. Every good embroiderer who wants to go into business must value the importance of a sound financial foundation to sew- pardon the pun- the seeds of success for the future.*

### [Uncover 4 Exclusive Embroidery Applique Techniques Now](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-project-types-of-applique/)
**Published:** August 11, 2025
**Author:** Embroidery Legacy
**Content:**
Embroidery appliques are a simple, yet visually stunning technique! If you’ve ever thought that there might be more than one way to use applique in your machine embroidery, you’re right, there is! Let’s look at a few different embroidery applique techniques and what they involve.

## Smooth Edge Embroidery Applique
Smooth edge applique includes the typical applique that you think of when hearing “embroidery applique”.
Smooth edge embroidery applique is when you add a smaller piece of fabric to the top of your material and use stitches to keep it in place on your fabric.

These are great as they give a clean, well-put-together look to your [machine embroidery designs](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-designs/), but they often take longer as you need to cut the fabric close after the tack-down stitch.

## Raw Edge Embroidery Applique
Raw edge embroidery applique is just like the name implies, the fabric is left raw and gives a messy, seamless edge. It is often used with smaller projects and can give a more realistic look.
> *Create your own [**raw edge applique design**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEmCBr4fFBw) with our free tutorial using [**Design Doodler software**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-software/design-doodler/).*

With raw edge embroidery applique, cut the shape of your desired fabric close to the size of your design. The final texture of your raw edge will depend on the fabric you’ve chosen. You can also choose to add extra cuts in your fabric to give it a more frayed look depending on the desired look of your final stitch out.

## Reverse Embroidery Applique
Reverse embroidery applique is also as the name implies. Rather than normal applique, it is reversed. With normal applique, the extra smaller fabric is added to the top of the material and cut, with reverse applique, instead, you layer fabrics and trim the top layer of material, so the bottom layer of material is exposed and shown.

Remember, you don’t have to only use cotton fabric; you can also use vinyl for a fantastic effect that can be applied on tote bags, wallets, and more!
## Embroidery Applique Techniques That Are Outside The Box
Let’s discuss a few different techniques that can be sewn on an **[embroidery machine](https://embroiderylegacy.com/what-is-the-best-embroidery-machine-for-a-home-business/)** that aren’t quite applique, but look like it.
### Madeira Linen Embroidery
***Madeira Linen Embroidery*** is an old technique from Madeira Island, part of Portugal. It is created using applique similar to quilting applique in which the edge is turned under and tacked down.
Upon the white background, linen or cotton pieces were sewn on top of *or under* the base material*.* Sewing lightly colored fabrics on the bottom surface of the fabric muted them and gave an even more extensive range of color variation.
### How To Create A Madeira Embroidery File In Your Digitizing Software
> Psst. If you’re new (and we all were at some point) don’t forget to check out our [**what is embroidery digitizing**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-what-is-embroidery-digitizing/) article and our guide to [**what is the best embroidery digitizing software?**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-software/digitizing/)
>
> Author Name
>
> [Tweet](/)
We have a sneaky trick for mimicking this technique which you can create on your machine.
Start simple! It is easier to start with simple small shapes you can easily trim than to go overboard and get frustrated.
Here is one type of placemat:
In this example, the trimming is done on the bottom. The border is a 5 mm satin stitch with a triple run inside and outside. When finished, you can trim to the edge.
First, the acanthus leaves are outlined, then a decorative running stitch is stitched on the surface.
All you do is hoop a wash-away stabilizer, a layer of linen fabric, and a top layer of cotton organdy.

>
> Author Name
>
> [Tweet](/)
It is then stitched, and after un-hooping, it is trimmed, and the excess fabric is *carefully* trimmed off the ***back*** side. This leaves a smooth top and minimizes the trimmed edge look.
You will want to wash these carefully and by hand; rough handling of this technique in a washer can pull the fabric on the back from the stitches.
Try this technique and play with different colors, patterns, and shapes. Remember that you can be topsy-turvy and stitch on the bottom or applique on the top.

### Using Satin or Tatami Stitch to Mimic A Madeira Applique Effect in Machine Embroidery
> *Our final idea on our applique adventure is using satin stitching instead of fabric for the same effect without trimming!*
>
> Author Name
>
> [Tweet](/)
Thank you to Linda Rayburn, a moderator of our Facebook groups, for this great take on Maderia embroidery.
This effect is created by stitching out-filled sections of embroidery in satin or tatami (for larger areas), laying down a piece of sheer fabric, and then stitching over it to both tack down the fabric and to provide a decorative border or objects. You will not cut anything away; when you make your finished item, both layers of fabric will remain.
The easiest way to create this is to digitize your object and then copy and change it to an outline so your second (top) stitching lines up.
## Conclusion: So Many Ways To Have Applique Fun
What do we want you to remember?
- You *don’t* always have to embroider on the top of an object!
- Think upside down or in-between!
- Think of layers and using transparent fabrics to mute strong colors
- Think of layering textures or taking advantage of fabric textures.
Our greatest hope is that you take away some of our love and passion for embroidery, education, embroidered art, and the embroidery family we have. We appreciate you spending time with us, and we love to hear your ideas and suggestions.

## What Are ESA Embroidery Fonts?
If you’re new to ESA font technology, it can be confusing knowing what they are and what sets them apart from traditional digitized letters. ESA stands for “Embroidery Specific Alphabets,” and to put it simply:
> ESA fonts are a native embroidery font file format specific to Hatch & Wilcom embroidery software. Given they are native file formats, these keyboard fonts can be easily adjusted, resized, and reshaped, all while giving you professional results.

### What software works with ESA fonts
ESA fonts are only compatible with Hatch, Wilcom E series & Janome V5 and can be loaded directly into your software. Wicom E series software for the commercial embroidery industry, while Hatch is made for home embroiderers
## How To Install ESA Fonts
***Please note** that ESA fonts are downloaded as a zip file, meaning you’ll need to unzip them before you can install them into your embroidery software. For [**directions on how to install your ESA fonts into your embroidery software, click here**](https://help.embroiderylegacy.com/article/47-how-to-install-esa-fonts-hatch-wilcom-embroidery-software).*
## ESA Fonts For Hatch
When creating your personalized embroidery creations, choosing the perfect font can help set the perfect tone for what you’re trying to say. Your font choice can ultimately tie a project together or break it apart. The more embroidery font options available, the more creative potential you possess. When it comes to ESA fonts, there is no shortage of fonts and possibilities. When choosing where to purchase your ESA embroidery fonts, ensure they’re from a reputable source.
### Embroidery Legacy’s Collection of 1000 ESA Embroidery Fonts
**We offer the world’s largest selection of ESA fonts at the industry’s most affordable prices.**

We offer many different font categories, such as foam, applique, glyphs, fancy, monograms, to name a few.
You might have noticed numbers beside each font name. These numbers indicate the letter size measurement to help you indicate what your minimum design sizing is. Which, as you learned above, is essential when resizing!
### Modifying ESA letters
A common question I get asked is **can you modify ESA letters?** Yes, you can!
ESA fonts are object-based. You may wonder what that means. Think of it like vector art. You can easily change certain parts of an image when using CorelDraw. Modifying ESA fonts is similar. Say you wanted to stitch out the word “Free,” but you want to adjust the letter “r” to make the font flow better. You would be able to change this as you can modify the original shape or “objects” it was created using nodes.
Nodes are little “points” in the design that you can click and drag to adjust the outline/shape of a specific letter. No fancy programming or computer knowledge needed. Just click, drag and adjust any letter to the shape you want it!
“Free” letters using ESA font.
“Free” ESA font letters modified.
With ESA fonts, you have the versatility to change many factors such as properties, stitch types, and density. Within Hatch, you can break apart every object within your letters, and you can alter or add certain elements to your letters to create the look you desire. To decrease your trims and nodes, you can also rearrange your sequence to allow particular objects to be digitized first. You can then branch and remove unneeded jumps and trims to allow your object to flow.
Check out our Youtube video below as I go into more detail regarding how to modify your ESA letters to get the exact look you want to achieve.

## Decorative Embroidered Pumpkin Tutorial:
**Step 1:**
Choose your pumpkin decorative embroidery design, download it to your USB and insert into your embroidery machine.
Hoop your pumpkin fabric with a stabilizer underneath. With my fabric, I used a no-show mesh.
Make sure your design size is smaller than your pumpkin size, so you’re not later cutting your design.
**Step 2:**
Embroider your design.
Using a fabric marker, draw an outline of your bowl or whatever you’re using to make a circle.
Create 2 outlines.
**Step 3:**
Cut out both fabric circles and place them on top of each other. The fabric you want to display (the one with the correct side of the embroidery design) should be facing inward on top of each other.
Pin the sides together.
**Step 4:**
Sew around the outside of the circle, leave a small opening, turn the fabric right side out.
(If you do not have a sewing machine, you can hand stitch or use a hot glue gun to close the fabric)
**Step 5:**
Fill with batting, stuffing, or fabric scraps until reasonably firm.
Sew the opening closed.
**Step 6:**
Thread a long darning needle with hand-embroidered thread or twine. Use a color that either blends into your fabric or stands out depending on your taste.
Depending on the fabric you use, you may need a small button as an aid at the bottom of your pumpkin, so the knot doesn’t pull through your fabric.
You will need to pull quite hard on the thread or twine to make the segments.
Tie a knot to secure the button before stitching.
Locate the center of the circle and poke the needle all the way through the other side.
**Step 7:**
When the needle is on the top side of the pumpkin, pull the thread across the top and around to the bottom and then up through the center button again to the top. This is creating your pumpkin sections.
Pull the thread to the opposite side, splitting the circle in half.
Repeat this process splitting the halves in half until you’ve created as many segments as you like.
Tie a knot in your thread at the bottom of the pumpkin when you’re finished.
**Step 8:**
Draw a leaf shape out of paper and then transfer it to your green felt or fabric (or simply free hand cutting on the felt).
Cut 2 leaves either the same size or different.
**Step 9:**
Fold the brown felt almost in half, then roll it up to make a stem for your pumpkin.
Glue or sew to secure the end.
**Step 10:**
Sew or glue the leaves and stem in place. Voila! You’ve created your embroidered decorative pumpkin embellishment.
## Conclusion: Create This Easy Embroidered Pumpkin Decor
With the ability to produce multiple different looks, be budget-friendly, and an easy gift for the Fall and Thanksgiving season, why wouldn’t you make this easy embroidered pumpkin decor? Whether you’re looking to add some Autumn flair to your Thanksgiving table, give a thoughtful gift, or create home decor on a budget, this is the right project for you.

## Why create & embroider a quick custom placemat?
This placemat embroidery project is quick and easy, and it can be personalized to go with any decor or occasion. Suppose you need something for a family picnic. In that case, you can customize it with each person’s name at the top, if you make it for your kitchen table, you can include some purple flower embellishments, or if it’s for a Christmas dinner, you can customize it with a Christmas tree and some snowflakes. Not only can you choose different [**embroidery designs**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-designs/), but you can also vary in your fabric selection. The options are limitless as you can dress them up or keep them casual!
These placemats are perfect for outside dining; they can be useful in picnics or during camping. As they have pockets for your utensils and napkins, you’ll never be without your silverware essentials. When you have other essential items to pack, (such as your tasty meals), it can be easy to forget how you’re going to eat it!
These placemats are easy to store away and bring with you wherever you go as they take up very little space and can be molded to any size. They also are environmentally friendly, as there is no leftover garbage. Even the napkin can be washed and reused. Your garbage waste will be minimal. If you’re eating outdoors, throw your dirty placemats into a bag and bring them home to be washed for another use. Or if you’re eating at home, throw them right into your washing machine.
These placemats are easier to clean than an entire tablecloth, as there is always one messy eater in the group. Not only are these placemats environmentally friendly, but they’re also budget-friendly. As there are a small number of materials needed for this project, you can personalize what fabric and thread type you choose. You can determine how much or little you spend on your placemats.

## Quick & Easy Key Holder Tutorial:
**Step 1:** Spray your adhesive spray to one side of the felt pieces, and attach it to your tear-away stabilizer. Smooth it out so there are no wrinkles.
**Step 2:** Hoop it within your embroidery hoop with the felt faced down, and stabilizer faced up.
**Step 3:** Lightly use your tacky embroidery spray to tack one of your 4×6″ leather or vinyl and smooth it out.
**Step 4:** Place your hoop in the machine and stitch it out until the last tack down line embroiders.
> *To further personalize your key holder, you can edit this embroidery design with different text, such as names or other words.*

> [Tweet](/)
**Step 5:** Remove the hoop from your machine and lay it upside down on your table.
**Step 6:** Spray adhesive to the back of your other 4×6″ piece of leather or vinyl to the back of your stitching (the good side of the leather or vinyl will face you), and then smooth it out.
**Step 7:** Return the hoop to the machine and stitch the final tack down line (the outline of your design).
**Step 8:** Remove your hoop from the machine and remove your design from the hoop. Clear up the back threads if needed.
**Step 9:** Tear away the stabilizer and then cut around (or trim) the outline of your design. You will now have a pocket.
**Step 10:** Take your 0.5×7″ leather or vinyl piece, attach a stud snap fastener to the end of this long piece and then a socket snap fastener a little beside it (be sure to give enough room for a key chain to attach in that space once it’s folded over).
**Step 11:** We need to put this long piece through the key holder. We found it easiest by using a piece of painter’s tape to the end of the leather/vinyl and pushing it through with a chopstick.
**Step 12:** Pull the leather/vinyl piece so it almost comes out of the smaller hole but still remains in the pocket. Attach a stud snap fastener to the very end of your long piece. See where that lines up at the top of your key holder. Attach a socket snap fastener. Trim around the snap if you wish.
**Step 13:** Optional: add another socket snap fastener to the very top of the smaller hole (to ensure your keys will always be attached to your key holder, even when they’re being used).
**Step 14:** Your key holder is finished! Apply your keys to the double-ended snap. Your keys can be pulled into the key fob, or you can attach it as a key chain.
## Conclusion: Create Your Personalized Key Holder
This project is a great quick and easy gift for birthdays, the office, or even yourself! This is a great project to personalize and keep your keys filed neatly away and save pocket or purse space.

**Published:** August 11, 2025
**Author:** Embroidery Legacy
**Content:**
Earbuds are some of the greatest devices, but if yours don’t come in a carrying case, you can sometimes lose them in your never-ending bag or constantly have to detangle the cords to use them. Why not make your own?
In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to easily create and personalize your own embroidered earbud case.
## Why Create This Embroidered Earbud Case
Earbuds are great, but being small, they can often be misplaced or hard to find.

This case is the perfect addition to your on-the-go lifestyle.
Creating your own earbud case is cost-effective! You can repurpose or use leftover vinyl or leather in your fabric stash.
Feel free to change the color of your fabric or thread to create the unique look you desire. Add a personalized touch by adding initials or your favorite designs to customize your new case.
Our In-The-Hoop Embroidery Legacy Earbud Case design includes the [**EMB file format**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-machine-embroidery-file-formats/), so you can import it into your [**digitizing software**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-software/digitizing/) and personalize it for yourself, friends, or family. They make great gifts!

**Step 3:** Flip the hoop so it’s right side up. Use a light adhesive spray on your two 10×4″ vinyl pieces and place them over the stitch outlines.
**Step 4:** Place your hoop back in your machine and let the music symbol & lettering stitch, keep stitching until you see the little straight line (this is where it indicates your next piece placement).
**Step 5:** Place the bottom of your 3.5X0.5″ vinyl piece over the stitched outline and secure the ends using painter’s tape.
**Step 6:** Return the hoop to your machine and finish stitching.
**Step 7:** Once finished, remove your hoop from your design and tear away the stabilizer around it.
**Step 8:** Remove the pieces of painter’s tape and trim the little leftover bits.
**Step 9:** Using a nice sharp pair of scissors, trim around the outside edge of the case design.
**Step 10:** Fold up your earbud case to create the perfect triangle.
**Step 11:** Use a pin or marker to create marks for your grommet.
**Step 12:** Create small holes for the rivet using a hole punch.
**Step 13:** Insert the rivet and secure it.
**Step 14:** Fold the case so it clips together, and insert one end into the slit to create the perfect earbud case, and you’re done!

Step 3: Stitch design up until the end of the decorative design.
Step 4: Remove the hoop from your machine
Step 5: CAREFULLY tear away the stabilizer in the CENTER of the glove (not outside)
Step 6: Using spray tack (and tape if you like), adhere a piece of fleece to the underside of the hoop, right side up
Step 7: Return the hoop to your embroidery machine and stitch the decorative lines (**purple**) next to the fingers and wrist
Step 8: Remove the hoop from the machine and, using spray tack, adhere another piece of fleece, the wrong side up to the TOP side of the hoop (so it covers the design), and return the hoop to the machine
Step 9: Finish stitching and remove it from your [embroidery machine](https://embroiderylegacy.com/what-is-the-best-embroidery-machine-for-a-home-business/)
Step 10: You should have three layers (two stitched together at the fingers, wrist, and sides; this is the insulated top of the glove. The other layer is a single layer on the palm side of your hand.
Step 11: BEFORE CUTTING…. Tear away the stabilizer around the glove.
Step 12: Trim to ¼ and turn inside out.
Wear and enjoy!

### [Embroidery Placement Guide: How to Position Your Stitch Outs](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-placement-guide-how-to-chart/)
**Published:** August 11, 2025
**Author:** Embroidery Legacy
**Content:**
Ever try to put a square peg in a round hole? A 20 inch wide embroidered logo on the side of a sleeve? (Hint hint, none of these work!) We all have the bag, box, or big bin of shame. The shirts that did not work out seem easier to hide under the table and promise ourselves that we will “use the fabric for testing” rather than chucking them in the trash. These garments are usually there because of poor placement. They were a little “off” or tilted. Somehow asking a client or friend to stand with a shoulder slumped down does not seem like a great plan! Thankfully, this article is here to help make sure this doesn’t ever happen again!
This blog will talk about embroidery placement on shirts, jackets, hats, and towels and the wide range of tools and tricks to help you reduce your “hidden box of shame.” You may come out of it with less testing fabric, but you’ll become more confident when embroidering. We will talk about anatomy, terminology, and how to get the best results possible. Let’s get started.
## Placement of Embroidered Designs
Placement is important because it allows you to have consistent stitching results and a good-looking product. Sewing over a seam on a shirt is not that bad, but sewing over a seam on a jean jacket can break a needle or worse. Embroidery placement takes into consideration the wearability of the garment and how it looks. A 20-inch wide logo will not fit on the side of a sleeve, but it is also not appropriate for a shirt back unless it is a very extended size.
Having a placement plan will allow you to work more successfully with customers and set yourself up for success. If you have a plan that you know you can follow, it is easier not to get yourself talked into something you know will not work. You can hand a chart to the client or friend, show them the standard, and go from there.
Placement also has a lot to do with hoops. Trying to put a 130mm hoop into a shirt pocket will not work (unless you like removing pockets, and that is not a lot of fun!). Since you already know the sizes of your hoops, this will help you use designs that stay within those ranges.
### Tools for Perfect Embroidery Placement
Only you can decide what works for you and will make you comfortable so whatever you choose, be consistent and give it a chance to work.
- **Placement charts:** They are available on line and in printable form. These also work well as client intake forms so that both you and the client agree.
- **T-shirt and Placement rulers:** These look like crosses or T squares, some have cutouts for the neck of the shirt and are designed to be used on a shirt which has been laid flat. You can use tailor chalk or washable markers to carefully mark the placement lines of your design.
- **Plain Ole’ tape measure:** As long as you are consistent with the measuring points a tape measure is all that many people need. Again, you are the best judge for what works for you!
- **Hooping systems:** These are becoming very popular and there is a reason why. They work! Hooping stations are meant to hold a magnetic or regular hoop still while you slide the garment over and then set your hoop in place. Generally they are shaped like the outline of a t-shirt with an extension where your neck would be. A hooping station is just that- it will be the heart of your garment embroidery work and though they seem expensive in the end they save your wrists, your money and your sanity!
> If you’re looking for, or would like to learn more on hooping stations, we offer the [**Echidna Hooping Station**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-hoop-machine-embroidery-tutorial/) which comes in two sizes and has re-positional magnets which securely hold your hoop while you set it for embroidery. Both sizes are available with a non-slip surface so that slinky shirt, sleeve or anything else stays put while you work. **[Click here to learn more on easy hooping.](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-hoop-machine-embroidery-tutorial/)**

## Where to Embroider on Hats
Caps are limited a bit by seams, bill, and crown, but a safe measurement is 2.5-4 inches wide and about 3 inches tall.
Always use the center seam of your cap (or a center point between the following two seams on flat front trucker hats) to position the horizontal center. For the vertical, make sure to allow for your machine’s presser foot! It may look fine until you run up against the bill while stitching because your machine has an angled foot. A safe measurement is at least ½-3/4 inch from the bill. Check out our video below, where John Deer discusses cap tips and tricks.

### Terminology of Hats
Though everyone dreads caps when they start out, it gets easier with experience and patience. Hats come in several styles.
- **Dad caps:** These are the six-panel unstructured soft caps that feel thin and lived in. The crown (top of hat) fits low and hugs your head.
- **Ball caps:** Baseball players wear a modified version of a dad cap which has a bit more structure and a higher crown. They are also six panels and can come in adjustable or sized caps (more traditional for League approved wear).
- **Trucker hats:** These are high crown structured hats (stiffened with buckram) that sit up off your head and have either mesh or solid backs. They come in six-panel stiff structured hats or five panels with a foam reinforced or neoprene front, which embroider well because they lay flat in the machine.
Of course there are other styles of caps, but we will not discuss them all. A pitfall you encounter in stitching on caps is the sweatband found on all caps on the inside. These are flipped down so that you are not stitching on top of them. Seams on caps pose problems, and they can be pretty heavy. Because caps are rounded, you cannot assume that all the space on the hat can be embroidered. Too low, and you stitch against the hat’s bill (the brim), which can hurt the machine or distort embroidery. Stitch too high, and your design may not be seen, or the stitching distorted if working on a tubular machine. You can stitch fairly wide from ear to ear (270 degrees) but beware of studs or brads on the side of the hat.

**Bags:** We won’t get into bags and backpacks at this time, but it needs to be noted that bag designers want you to embroider them (and *buy more*), so there are pockets and flaps galore.
**Other items:** As you look at any item, try to find a center point and create verticals and horizontals to aid in placement and always watch out for snaps, zippers, plastic panels, etc.
## Where to Embroider on Shirts and Jackets
Jackets are generally the same as shirts, but the type of jacket may limit you. Yokes will alter placement and size, and other features like studs, embellishments, internal and external pockets will make decisions for you.
### Terminology of Shirts and Jackets
- **T-shirts:** These will be the most common garment you embroider on. There is a neck, which on most shirts is higher in the back than the front. They come as a round neck, (most common) boat neck (opening is wide and not deep- resembles a boat), and V neck. The collar is almost always a folded over ribbed knit band. Your landmarks on this are center front ) fold the shirt in half, holding the shoulder seams together. Mark the center with a pin. **Just because your new T-shirt has a crease down the middle from being folded does not mean that is the center point!** Make sure to measure for yourself. Folding a T-shirt and marking it with pins or chalk can mark down the front or back. The other points of interest are the shoulder seams mentioned above, the underarm seams where the sleeve meets the shirt’s body under your arm, and the hem at the bottom.
- **Collar, Polo and Dress Shirts:** The biggest difference between a T-shirt and a collar or polo is the placket for the V neck where the buttons and buttonholes are. The center of the shirt should be measured from the center point of the placket where the buttons are. (Note: make sure to leave these buttoned it will help maintain the shape of the shirt)
- **Jackets:** Jackets are just bigger, heavier shirts with long sleeves, but they can have some other barriers too! The Yoke is the top section across the shoulders, and there can be are yokes on the front right and left. Remember that even though you can embroider here, make sure to consider the width of the seam allowance on the inside. Use your fingers to pinch and see where the edge of the fabric is.
- **Pockets:** Creating pockets is easier than it sounds! [**Click here to learn how to embroider your own pockets.**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-embroider-a-tee-shirt-tutorial/)
### Correct Size and Measuring Shirts and Jackets
Generally, shirt logos are put on the left chest (over your heart), but they often are seen right chest. The correct size is approximately 3-4 inches (or a bit more for larger shirts) and 2-3 inches high. Of course, you can make them any size you like, but before you hit the start button, make a paper cutout and place it on the shirt to see how big it really is! Many times we see images on the screen which look SO large only to find they are dwarfed by the shirt (by the way, this works in reverse too- it keeps you from going too large)
Shirt back (Full back) stitchings are generally 11-12 inches wide and as long as your shirt will allow but do remember that less is more and to stay around the 12-14 inch length. Shorter, taller, larger, and smaller shirts will vary.
To place shirt front embroidery correctly, it should be horizontally on a point between the center line and the sleeve seam and vertically between the shoulder seam and the bottom of the sleeve seam. For the back, it should be placed on the centerline between the shoulder blades, and a center point between the collar seam and the seam under your arm. These can vary, but this is a good start point.
### Where To Embroider On A Towel
Towels are the easiest thing on which you can embroider. They make lovely gifts and look spectacular! When you look at a towel, you will notice the decorative band usually found on both ends. Place your monogram above that line giving a space not less than 1 inch. You do not want to embroider the design over the decorative edge. Believe it or not, there is a top and bottom to towels- look for the label- the top will be the opposite side. Also, make sure to place the label of the towel face down so that you are embroidering on the correct end and the correct side. We don’t want labels showing.
We are only focusing on placement but when doing towels, make sure you get the best result by giving a good base to your embroidery.

## Tips For Perfect Embroidery Placement
**Watch for hazards**
You would not realize it, but many hidden hazards are lurking in your embroidered piece. Always feel the material and look for zippers, buttons, velcro, seams, or heavy interfacing. This is especially important when embroidering on bags. Attempting to embroider over these can cause needle breaks and damage to your machine.
**Measure twice, stitch once!**
We have to stress the importance of careful measurement before you hit the start button. If needed, a small checklist kept handy at your workstation will help you ensure you have covered the bases! You can use a chalk marker, invisible pens, pins, or any method that works well for you. Sometimes it is also helpful to step away for a moment and then come back and check before you start your machine.
**Know your stabilizer**
It is important to mention that when embroidering garments, you want the most appropriate stabilizer. Keep in mind the saying, “if you wear it, don’t tear it!.” This means if you’re using a stabilizer next to your skin, always use a no-show mesh or cutaway stabilizer because they will soften with time. On your towels, a layer of wash away on the bottom and top works wonders.

**How to fix bad placement**
The bad news is that once fully embroidered, bad placement is hard to fix. The good news? Even if you start the machine, there are some ways to save your garment.
- Remove stitching – if you work carefully, you can remove the stitching and start over in many cases. It is important to **work slowly from the backside of your garment.**
- Overstitching- if you start and realize that you have made a mistake, stop immediately. In some cases, you can reposition and restitch (provided it is not too dense) over the start of the previous design.
- Be creative. Before you toss that shirt in the scrap heap, think about how you can recover it. Applique, **[making embroidery patches](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-make-custom-embroidery-patches/)**, and other techniques might be a good solution.
## Conclusion
We have discussed the terminology of jackets, shirts, and hats, as well as many types of placements, but for an easy takeaway, here are key points to remember:
- Measure twice, stitch once and use the best measuring method that works for you.
- Take your time, walk away if necessary
- Use some of the measuring aids available, such as placement charts, rulers, and hooping systems.
- Always check for hidden hazards; the last thing you want is to damage your machine.
Through practice, you’ll soon perfect the correct placement on your garments, ensuring a happy customer, machine, and self!

### [What are Underlay Stitches for Embroidery & Digitizing?](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-digitizing-underlay-digitizing/)
**Published:** August 11, 2025
**Author:** John Deer
**Content:**
Underlay is the foundation of your digitized embroidery designs. Just as a foundation for a house is vitally important, so is underlay in your design. But what are the different types of underlay, and when do you use them?
Underlay stabilizes all the elements of your design before the visual stitches are laid. When you hoop your stabilizer and fabric, there may be some play and movement between the two. The idea is to bind them together, and the underlay assists in minimizing distortion.
In this article, we’ll dive further into underlay within your embroidery designs and digitizing while covering:
- The importance and difference of different underlay stitches
- Using underlay techniques for quick fixes
- Underlay on hats & caps
- Using underlay in your software

## Understanding Underlay Stitches in Embroidery and Digitizing
Underlay stitches are simply running stitches placed in certain places, in certain directions, with varying stitch lengths to give an embroidery object (satin and fill stitches) a solid foundation.
> Underlay also helps minimize the possibility of embroidery puckering once it’s finished stitching and out of the hoop.

Underlay helps keep all your digitized objects well defined, and it will make your top stitches look more clean and crisp. Underlay also allows you to build up layers of embroidery on top of each other while decreasing the densities and keeping your design clean.
## Why Are Underlay Stitches So Important In Embroidery?
I’m going to show you how underlay works and why it’s essential to know how to place underlay stitches. We’re going to show three simple column stitches using a satin stitch
**Example 1: running stitch with underlay in the middle of the object.**
In the example above, we’re using a running stitch and placing a couple of passes of underlay right in the middle of the object. What usually happens is that this satin stitch will look a little jagged when it is stitched and won’t have a crisp, clean look. I’m sure you’ve probably looked at a finished sample that’s come off your machine and wondered why it doesn’t look clean. It’s not that your machine needs an overhaul; it’s because the underlay was in the wrong place.
**Example 2: same column stitch with underlay placed very close to the edge of satin stitch.**
In the example above, we have the same column stitch. But this time, the underlay is placed very close to the edge of the satin stitch. This placement will have disastrous results as the underlay stitch may pop outside the satin stitch, and then you have to pick out all those undesired threads painstakingly.
**Example 3: underlay is .4mm away from the outside of the object.**
In the example above, we place the underlay in a specific place, exactly .4mm away from the outside edge of the object. When you run this sample on your machine, you’ll see that the embroidery stitches out crisp and clean, with the underlay acting as a break wall.
> The diagram above shows a side view of what is happening. The top thread will pull towards the center of the column, but the underlay stitch will stop it dead in its tracks so that it won’t pull in any further.

This helps when you’re stitching designs on loosely woven fabric types. Like the fabric of a golf shirt, a woven fabric would look like a series of hills and valleys from the side if placed under a microscope. Because of their nature and the way these fabrics are milled, they tend to stretch more horizontally than vertically as garments are sewn/constructed in this manner. Thread might fall on either side of a hill or valley even if it appears perfect on your computer screen. Properly positioned underlay will greatly reduce the likelihood of this type of distortion happening.
## Different Types of Embroidery Underlay
> The different types of underlay are center-run, edge-run, zigzag, double zigzag, fill-stitch underlay, and combinations of underlay used together. Both the application and fabric types will determine the combination and the order in which they stitch.
>
> Author Name

> [Tweet](/)
### Center-Run Underlay
Center-run underlay is used on very small column satin stitches ranging between 1.5mm-2mm. They run directly through the center of the object because of the limited space involved.
### Edge-Run Underlay
Edge-run underlay is used when the column stitch gets a little wider and needs more foundation, ranging from 2.5mm-3.5mm. This type of underlay provides the break wall effect we covered earlier.
### Zigzags and Double Zigzags Underlay
Zigzags and double-zigzags are generally used along with an edge-run underlay. These are used when applying underlay to a column width of 4mm and up. Because the column is wider, it leaves an area between the column stitches that has no foundation. If there is no zigzag securing the empty space, the column stitch will experience too much pull.

It is important to note that it does matter in which order the two underlay types are laid down. The zigzag needs to go down first to secure the fabric, and the edge run is placed. If you do the opposite, the zigzag will pull in the edge run, and it will no longer serve its purpose of being a specifically placed break wall.
### Fill-Stitch Underlay
Fill-stitch underlay is a running stitch that runs back and forth in the opposite direction of the fill stitch being placed on top. This underlay type secures the area in which the full stitch is being placed, and placing it in the opposite direction helps to reduce the amount of pull in the design.
Suppose a filled object is not being outlined with a satin stitch and is left as an open edge. In that case, using a combination of fill-stitch and an edge run underlay will help secure the foundation of the fill and promote clean lines around the edges of the fill.
### Stitch Length Underlay
Underlay stitch lengths generally depend on the nature of the material/fabric being embroidered on. The standard stitch length I use for most underlay applications is 2.5mm. I will lengthen the stitch length if I’m embroidering on fleece, terry cloth, leather, vinyl, or any other medium that may cause short stitches to sink in / cut the fabric and disappear prohibiting them from doing their job.
## Using Underlay Techniques for Quick Fixes
I’ve often seen designs that have poor registration simply because the underlay has not been used properly to secure the design. This can be especially evident with larger jacket-back designs. If you look at how fabric and stabilizer are placed within a hoop, you’ll notice that you can have some play between the fabric and the stabilizer.
If you place a running stitch horizontally, it will help secure the fabric to the stabilizer and smooth out the area before all the top stitches of the design are placed. This is a good practice for digitizing large solid designs with a lot of fills and details.
This technique can often work with designs that have already been digitized and have registration problems.
### Underlay On Hats & Caps
This quick edit technique is also very practical with finish caps. Caps can be one of the most challenging items to digitize for and embroider on because the surface of the hat is not flat.

Digitizing for a curved surface is an entirely new subject unto itself, but what do you do if you’ve been given a design that is not registering correctly and may not have been digitized properly for a curved surface? In this situation, I would bring the design into my digitizing software, keeping in mind that I will digitize a running stitch right on top of the designs.
> The first thing I would do is digitize 4-5 vertical running stitches up and down on the very center of the design. The reason why is because in the very center of any 6-panel cap is the seam; that center seam is the Bermuda Triangle of embroidery!
>
> Author Name

> [Tweet](/)
You can lose a letter i in the seam of a cap, and if you’re running a fill stitch horizontally, the stitch can change in appearance when they go over the center seam. We call it a stitch in the ditch; the running stitch going up and down a few times will fill in the center seam, and the embroidery will then look flatter in that area.
Once I’ve digitized the vertical stitch, I’ll next start to digitize a horizontal stitch from the center out (maybe 10-15mm to either side). Then I’ll do the next pass 20-30mm and so on. Think of it as moving back and forth, slowly smoothing out the curved surface from the center and eventually hitting the outer limits in each direction. This really does help provide a foundation for designs that may not have been pathed to consider the curved surface of a cap.
I generally leave the underlay stitches I’ve just created as a separate color change and then simply move it up in the stitching order, so it embroiders first. If you match the first thread color as close to the color of the cap, it’s a good safeguard. If any of those stitches are exposed after the design is finished embroidering, they will not be noticeable because the colors match.
## Using Underlay in Your Embroidery Software
Many software brands in today’s market allow you to choose and control the type of underlay and the properties assigned to the objects you create. This is where I feel most embroiderers struggle. It can be challenging to learn which underlay to use for specific stitch types, the width required based on the objects being digitized, and the settings for all the varying fabric types available to sew on. However, knowing all the correct values requires tons of experience.
Now, we have an easier solution than wasting time figuring out the rules of underlay for yourself or trying to piece together dozens of videos/articles posted online like a broken jigsaw puzzle. If you want to understand how to use underlay within your embroidery, allow me to make it easy for you… We have a complete underlay video guide included as a bonus within the first level of our **[Digitizer’s Dream Course](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-classes/digitizing-education/).**

### [14 Beautiful and Easy Embroidery Garden Projects and Designs](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-project-garden-designs/)
**Published:** August 11, 2025
**Author:** Embroidery Legacy
**Content:**
Get your gardening clothes on! We’re going out to do some serious work in the garden, and we’ll need some fantastic embroidery ideas to take with us.
What? Never thought about embroidery in the garden? There are TONS of places where we can add a touch of embroidery elegance and fun. Whether you are a novice or a constant gardener, we have a lot of fun ideas for you to try! All of these can be made with home materials and some inexpensive alternatives.
We never really think embroidery is appropriate for the garden due to dirt, rain weather, etc., but there are many ways you can include it. We want you to think “outside the box” and try new things differently. Let’s get out of our heads and into the garden. Let’s get digging!
## Machine Embroidery Project ideas for the Garden
Materials now are so versatile; marine vinyl, woven fabrics, and neoprene allow you to expose your work to the elements and not have them ruined. Just like annual flowers, you don’t *have* to make something that lasts forever; you can make items just for this year and recreate new ones next year.

With all the following project ideas below, we suggest polyester thread. Rayon is lovely, but it will not hold up to the elements such as the sun and being wet for long. Of course, Polyester has its limitations too, but it will last longer than other alternatives.
> *Who knew there were so many factors when choosing embroidery thread? [**Click here to learn about the different types of machine embroidery threads**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-threads/) and when to use them.*

Let’s look at some project ideas for you to create.
### Embroidered Pot Covers
You can use old vinyl to create some awesome pot covers. You can embroider on each side and just sew right up each seam- no linings!! If you do not like the seam edge on the outside, you can turn them inside out. Remember to cut a hole in the bottom for water to drain out.
> *Don’t forget you can change and create new pot covers based on each season. From pumpkins to Santas to spring flowers, you’ll always be able to decorate for the season. [**Click here to check out our many different floral and garden embroidery designs**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-designs/plants-nature/) to accentuate your project.*
>

Likewise, you can use burlap or other durable fun fabric to make a “sleeve” that can be held in place with elastic on top and bottom. Embroider the side with your favorite design, sew it into a tube and sew a pocket on the top and bottom for elastic or a colorful drawstring.
### Embroidered Plant Stakes
Plant stakes are another quick and easy project. Pick your favorite veggie or flower design, stitch out on Marine Fabric (remember these are U.V. protected) and glue it onto a purchased plant stake. Or a simpler, easier way; glue onto a foam core square and stick a chopstick in! Simple, easy, and fun!
### Embroidered Flags
Flags can show your heritage, skills, achievements, or just be good old fun!!
Use nylon ripstop flag material or U.V. marine fabric. Make sure you use a stabilizer on the nylon fabric (no-show mesh works well), and don’t use overly complicated or dense designs.
[Applique embroidery](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-designs/applique/) is a fantastic technique on flags! Hem the edges, use 2-inch webbing folded over for the edge stabilizer, and add grommets to hook to your flag pole.
### Embroidered Garden Organizer
These garden organizers are simple to create. On a piece of material, sew a few bottom pockets to keep your seeds, gloves and mix-matched supplies in. Creating a top banner with holes to display your gardening tools. Then create ties at the top so you can attach it to a chair arm or small fence to keep all your gardening supplies in one place and for easy access.
### Embroidered Garden Totes
For those of us who do not really sew, a pre-made tote bag with a colorful design is perfect to tote your garden supplies and seeds. For those of us who love to sew- try a durable vinyl tote that you can hose off at the end of your gardening time.
### Embroidered Garden Gloves
Ever thought of embroidering garden gloves? It would be best if you kept your designs small, close to the edge of the glove, staying clear of the hemmed edge. The glove’s cuff can be floated or hooped in a tiny hoop.
Rubberized gloves can be embroidered, but you will succeed more on cloth or leather gloves.
### Embroidered Kneeler Cover
We’ve all seen those foam kneeling pads at every garden center checkout. If you’re not going to get muddy, why not make a cover you can kneel on that’s washable and ready for your next session?
You can use old pillowcases and embellish them with embroidery, providing a more comfortable surface.
### Potholder Knee Pads
Wait! What??! Use a potholder as a knee pad? That sounds crazy…. Well, it’s not!
All you need is a durable material, batting, stabilizer, and a great embroidery design! After you have completed your “pot holder,” you can sew on elastic or ties to secure them behind your knees. They keep you clean and protected and are washable to boot! What a great combination!
### Embroidered Shear Holster
Gardening shears are very expensive; you don’t want to lose them! Create a quick and easy shear holder out of old automotive or marine vinyl with a loop for your belt or a tie around your waist.
Using a long rectangle of fabric or vinyl (neoprene works great too!), fold over, leaving a tab that can be trimmed if desired. Cut two rectangle holes for your belt, fold over and stitch up the sides. VOILA! Never lose those expensive garden shears again!
### Bandanas
Remember, bandanas aren’t just for our pets! They started as handy tools for cowboys and farmers to keep their necks cool and protected from sunburns. What better way to stay cool than by getting to add some personalized embroidery?
Store-bought bandanas are inexpensive and easy to embroider.
Even better? Make your own size! You can roll up ice cubes in them and tie them around your neck for a frosty cool on the hottest days.
## Outdoor Themed Embroidery Projects – for those who don’t garden but still love the outdoors
Not all of us have the gardening bug; some of us just like to relax. After a long day outside or at work, nothing is better than relaxing on the patio with an ice-cold drink. Here are some awesome ideas for keeping cool, looking stylish, and using your embroidery creativity.
### Embroidered 3D Flower Coaster or Centerpiece
Why not add a floral touch to your decor without worrying about it withering away quickly?
This soft, supple in-the-hoop sunflower project is the perfect way to accentuate your coffee coaster collection for your front porch or to brighten up your back deck as an electric tea light holder.
Did we mention this gorgeous in-the-hoop sunflower coaster project is also free? **[Click here for your free in-the-hoop sunflower design](https://embroiderylegacy.com/in-the-hoop-embroidery-project-flower-coaster/)** and step-by-step instructions (no soil needed!).

(The best part is you don’t have to remember to water them to keep them looking fresh!)*

### Embroidered Drink Coozie
There’s nothing better on a hot day than a cold drink and keeping it cool! A coozie is just a neoprene rectangle sewn up one side into a sleeve and slid onto a can to keep it cold and fresh.
> *Neoprene is easy to embroider but keep in mind that selecting designs that are not as stitch intensive will give better results.*

### Embroidered String Lights
You’re thinking of Christmas. Well, stop right there! You can create easy string light covers to add fun and sparkle to boring old Christmas lights. String them up on your patio or deck, sit back and enjoy!
You can start learning this technique by using our [**in-the-hoop St Patrick’s day lights**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/product/in-the-hoop-embroidery-project-st-patricks-string-lights/). Pick any color you like and embroider a string of easy flowers, which will add some fun to your patio or deck. Once you learn this technique, you will be able to use that as a starting place to digitize your own fanciful flowers and more.
### Embroidered Wine Glass Charm
When it’s the end of the day and it is time to kick back with a glass of vino or juice, here’s a great way to decorate your glass and know the owner of each glass!
These gorgeous freestanding lace designs hook onto your glass’s bottom and decorate any table. They are made entirely in the hoop and use a wash-away stabilizer. They can be stored flat and reused.

### [How Your Embroidery Machine Thinks (It’s Amazingly Simple)](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-digitizing-how-your-embroidery-machine-thinks/)
**Published:** August 11, 2025
**Author:** Embroidery Legacy
**Content:**
Ever look at your embroidery machine and wonder what is going on in there? What do they think, how do they think, and why do they not understand us?
Today we are looking into the mysterious unseen world of your embroidery machine and why it can be so frustrating yet delightful. Now caution, we’ll take a little trip back to those good ‘ole days of mathematics- graphing and charts and stuff. But don’t be scared. We’ve got you covered!
## Embroidery Machines As Machines
When it gets right down to it, your **[embroidery machine](https://embroiderylegacy.com/what-is-the-best-embroidery-machine-for-a-home-business/)** is just that… a machine! They don’t think; they react. They have no emotions or judgments. In this day and age of personalized assistants on your phone, tv, car, and all around your home, we forget they are not people. Let’s touch on how your machine looks at the info you provide.
## Early “Computerized” Embroidery Machines
Let’s start with early machines. Yes, believe it or not, in the 1860s, Schiffli Embroidery machines ran on long-punched tapes. These tapes had little holes punched in them that were fed into the machine and “read” much like a player piano or a music box. A hole came along and triggered a lever which allowed a stitch or stitches to be made.
Want to learn more about what it means to be a puncher (now more known as a digitizer) or see these schiffli machines in action? Watch this wonderful history of our Embroidery Legacy business that started in the 1960s. Designs were created and punched into a graph and moved a handle from hole to hole to make the embroidered design.
> Did you know that our CEO John Deer is the last Schiffli master digitizer still alive and teaching in North America? [Click here to learn more about our **Digitizer’s Dream Course**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-classes/digitizing-education/) which combines a solid foundation of age-old digitizing theory, with today’s modern technology to help you create your own custom embroidery designs!

### What is a CNC Machine?
Anyone who knows a machinist or metal worker might have a passing knowledge of a CNC machine (Computerized Numerical Control). These modern marvels read code or input coordinates to move a cutting, engraving (or, in our case) embroidering head. It is a modern equivalent to earlier tape-fed machines.
A CNC machine moves back and forth in what seems like a random pattern but isn’t. Your [embroidery digitizing software](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-software/digitizing/) tells the bed of the machine to move back and forth so that your object is created in the way it was digitized for embroidery.
> *Think of it as similar to keys being cut at the hardware store. The info (the key shape) is read and transferred to a head that cuts. If you’re not familar with digitizing, our [**what is embroidery digitizing**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-what-is-embroidery-digitizing/) article is for you!*

### Embroidery Machines & Stitches
All your machine does is read a code sent to it! “Put a stitch here… now one here…another here… and trim.” It will follow this list of instructions like a recipe until it gets to the last trim. It can be frustrating when things don’t go as we want, but unfortunately, the old computer adage “garbage in, garbage out” is most often true. A missing single stitch, a forgotten color change, or a decimal point can change the info, and the machine does what its told and marches on through hoops, birds’ nests, broken needles, and more.
> *What is an XY graph? Well, they look like this….*
>

You’re dreading it, but here’s the math portion.
There is a vertical axis (the X axis) and a horizontal axis (the Y axis). These two lines help us to understand where things are located within a space. In this case, it’s two-dimensional since we are working on a flat plane. (You can sigh relief that we’re not talking about 3D space today).
This is the space your embroidery machine sees when you give it information. If you can imagine a very, very dense graph with all the points the width of a hair, that is the vast number of intersections your machine needs to work. Take a look at an iPad or an iPhone (or any other tablet), and you will see lots of little points in a grid- these are similar. That grid helps your tablet understand where your finger, pointer, or embroidery head is at any given point.
Here is a “large” version of what your embroidery machine sees. The grey portion? Those are a lot of little squares…
The instructions for the machine to know where to stitch are like a “connect the dots” on a teeny tiny grid like the one above. If I want to outline an apple, you draw around it on your digitizing program, but if you lay that apple on a graph and mark every intersection in which the edge of the apple touches a line. Those are the anchor points that help the machine.
> *Want to **[learn more about embroidery software](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-software/digitizing/)**? For user-friendly embroidery software, try the [**Design Doodler**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-software/design-doodler/).*

We use a very, very fine grid to get the best reproduction. The more intersections, the more information to make better stitching. With a really fine grid (like on your machine) you get a nice smooth line. With a little less fine line, you get spaced-out dots and a more jagged stitch line.
This is what our apple looks like as a “connect the dots” laid on a large grid.
Imagine how much info we get from using a very fine grid…
So, let’s recap… The machine needs points plotted on an XY graph to know where to move the machine. And most importantly, machines don’t think; they just process the information you provide.
### How Do Embroidery Machines Understand Different Stitches?
How does a machine know how to do tatami or satin? Or patterned tatami? Well, it’s the same thing. The [embroidery file](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-machine-embroidery-file-formats/) you insert comes with instructions on how to make these stitches. “Go this many stitches this direction, this large”… “go the other way and place the stitches on these points.” Patterned stitches are just long and short stitches placed on certain points. Here is an example:
See the little white dots? Those are stitch points. That fill sequence is programmed into the file you made in your software, and the machine works, placing the stitches in the correct place using the grid as a guide.

Enroll in our [**free Embroidery Digitizing 101 Course**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-classes/digitizing-education/free-101-course/). You’ll receive a video course & cheat sheet to learn the basics of creating and editing your own embroidery designs.*

> [Tweet](/)
**How about the satin stitch?**
Here is what the stitch points look like.
Wait! Why are there not any points in the middle of the object? There were in the tatami! That is because the satin stitch goes back and forth to make that rich, satiny result. So satin stitch uses an outline around the object and anchors it to them.
> *Keep in mind that when using the satin stitch more than 7 mm wide with the “auto split” feature will place a stitch point in the middle to make the stitch shorter. If the stitch is wider than 10 mm (the threshold for most machines), it will skip those stitches because the machine is unable to make them.*
>

**Can embroidery machines alter tension and pull?**
“How do I set my machine to lessen the tension?” This is a common question. Keeping in mind that our machines are just machines, we know they cannot understand tension and don’t care. They just stitch the stitches we tell them to, where we tell them.
Your embroidery machine does not solve any problems regarding pull compensation. Remember, they only react to your information. Pull compensation is affected by how large the image is. Need to lessen pull? Make the image larger to “compensate” for the contraction.
There is more detail regarding push and pull compensation in digitizing and your embroidery; watch John as he helps explain this essential digitizing topic.

## Conclusion
If there is one takeaway from this article, it is that **embroidery machines are super simple** when you take away all the lasers, buttons, bells, and whistles. All they do to create beautiful embroidery is move the embroidery bed to points on a graph, make a stitch, and move on to the next.
**If you get frustrated and something goes wrong with a stitch out, it is always best to go to your file or check the digitizing because a majority of errors can be found there.** We know it is frustrating to have errors, but we hope that understanding how embroidery machines think will help you in your embroidery journey.

Press down the felt to make sure there are no bumps.
**Step 3:** Run the design on your machine, but stop your machine as soon as it’s finished with the fringe flowers. You want to save your stitch border for later.
**Step 4:** Remove the hoop from our machine and place the hoop bottom side up
**Step 5:** Carefully clip the thread on the back of the flowers for the “fringe” effect
> *Depending on the look you want, cutting “the embroidery thread” along the outer edge of the fringe will cause it to fray. If you cut just the bobbin, the thread stays connected and creates a loop.*

**Step 6:** Take your 2 pieces of batting and create a heart shape that is a bit smaller (0.25″) than the running stitch border; place the double layer of batting over the back of the embroidery
**Step 7:** Using spray adhesive, spray some onto your last piece of black felt and cover the batting.
**Step 8:** Return the hoop to your machine and stitch the remaining triple-stitch border
**Step 9:** Remove your hoop from your machine and activate the fringe on the flowers on the front of the design (you can use tweezers, chopsticks, etc.) by brushing the thread sideways.
**Step 10:** Un-hoop your design and tear away the stabilizer from the felt
**Step 11:** Use scissors to trim 0.25″ away from the stitched border.
> *Use pinking shears for a more dramatic edge.*

**Step 12**: Using your glue or hot glue gun, glue your beads in the center of your flowers. Using tweezers can be easier to put them in place.
**Step 13:** After they’ve dried, turn your heart over to the back and either sew or glue your pin back.
**Step 14:** Let it dry completely, and you now have a beautiful fringe flower heart brooch.

## Guidelines for Nature & Flower Machine Embroidery Designs
Before we get into the actual process of digitizing nature, let’s talk about three things that will help you get the best results in creating beautiful flowers, plants, and more! These rules are not hard, but they will help you take a different look!
1. **Odd is good**: In the case of nature- it is great to be odd! Nature loves odd numbers. When working with leaves, petals, etc., you will find that a more natural look can be created by using an odd number of objects. An odd number of objects in your arrangement better captures your gaze. Odd numbers force your eyes to move around the grouping, and that forced movement is the heart of visual interest. This is not to say that everything has to be odd, there are many examples of even arrangements which are lovely, but the message is that variety is good!
2. **Drooping is normal**: We always associate drooping or wilting with a dead plant, but this is not necessarily bad. Even though leaves and flowers can be arranged “pointing up” as they get larger, their weight causes them to bow their heads. Also, keep in mind that flowers like fuchsia normally droop over.
3. **Forget perfection**: Even though we have discussed several “perfect” nature arrangements, the perfection in your design often comes from imperfection. A leaf got knocked off, a flower has an insect, a missing petal from an insect’s lunch, or sometimes nature misses a beat and makes a wonderful four-leafed clover.
## How To Digitize Lifelike Plant and Flower Embroidery Designs
Now the exciting part! We are going to talk about translating nature into embroidery. The takeaway from this exercise is to always keep in mind that they do not have to be perfect! Having that in mind will help you “grow” a wonderful embroidered garden. Let’s make an arrangement!

### Digitizing Embroidery Flower Stems
We will start with three stems for our main flowers (remember odd is good)! You can add branches in an alternating or opposite pattern. Generally speaking, a satin stitch stem or a backstitch for smaller groupings works well. For an easy arrangement, start with three curved stems. Not *every* flower has to have a stem; we do not usually see (or notice) them in an arrangement.
### Digitizing Embroidery Flowers
When personalizing your flower design, make sure you choose a few flower [machine embroidery designs](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-designs/) for your bouquet from a reputable embroidery design company.

After selecting three flowers, you can resize them, flip and rotate them to “re-use” the designs in a creative way that looks natural and saves time. Remember that flowers of even the same variety come in many sizes and shapes.
I have selected two roses and a daisy design in the flower example below. I changed the size on one rose and used the “flip” and “rotate” tools to make them just different enough. You can rotate an object by selecting and rotating by 15 degrees or clicking again to access the free rotate tool!
Remember that your flowers do not always have to face up or forward- Here is a great example of flowers being just as pretty even when looking away.
After you have placed your flowers in their desired places, you can add a few leaves to complete your bouquet with either preexisting embroidery designs or, create your own personalized leaves in the Design Doodler.
Remember that leaves look good hiding in the back too! You can send a leaf to the back of the design using the sequence order- the first things to stitch at the top appear in the back, and the last objects stitched appearing in the bottom of the order will show on top.
### Using Texture in Embroidered Flowers
The texture is an area most people forget! You can create SO many textures for your leaves and flowers using your embroidery software, from silky satin to candle wicking, embossed designs to fringe. Check out the floral fringe technique below, as it really makes your embroidery POP!
Remember that using fringe flowers sparingly will make your bouquet 3D. Try stitching them in lighter colors so that they are the highlighted flower in the arrangement, or use them for texture here and there. Using too many textures, your bouquet will become a raised “flat” flower grouping. In this case, even though they are amazing, less is more.

## Adding Special Touches To Flower Embroidery Designs
- **Dewdrops** – Using some silver metallic or shiny rayon [**machine embroidery thread**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-threads/) can create excellent dew drops. They can be digitized as a circle or a satin-filled circle. Remember that using metallic will not be as effective as they get smaller, and dots smaller than a quilting pinball head probably will not work filled in. Try a running stitch circle. Clear glass beads can be hand-applied later for an additional effect.

## Kids Embroidered Bath Mitt Tutorial
To create this easy project, you can trace your child’s hand to create the mitt outline. Make the mitt approximately an inch larger to allow room for your kid’s hand and make the soap surface greater. You will hoop the stabilizer and stitch, then add the back. No need to finish the edges- we will clip those into strips for more soapy fun. Here are the steps you will want to follow:
### Digitizing Your Bath Mitt
1\. Draw your child’s hand by having them lay it down with their fingers slightly apart. Leave an inch of a border.
2\. Scan or photograph your mitt outline and save it as .png or .pdf.
3\. Insert the artwork into your ***[embroidery digitizing software](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-software/digitizing/)***.
> *New to digitizing or wondering [**what is embroidery digitizing**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-what-is-embroidery-digitizing/)?*
>

> [Tweet](/)
4\. Digitize a running stitch line around the mitt outline.
5\. Copy and paste the outline in place and convert this second outline into a satin stitch 4-5 mm wide.
6\. Change the satin outline to the color of your choice (make sure the first line is a different color, as this will produce a stop on the machine to allow you to place your fabric).
7\. Insert your embroidery design.
8\. If you have chosen a design that has detail, it will not show in the loft of the terry towel. You will need to insert a type of underlay stitch used to flatten the nap or pile of fabrics. These are low density fills placed under the main design. This smashes down the terry loops and allows the top stitching to show!
9\. Copy your first running stitch and paste it in place.
10\. Convert this last running stitch into a triple stitch. This will stitch the back to the front of the mitt, which has the design.
11\. Create the opening for the mitt by selecting this last outline and using the knife tool to slice off the bottom of the mitt at the wrist.
12\. Select the bottom portion you cut off and delete it.
### Embroidering Your Bath Mitt
To Stitch out your mitt
1\. Hoop wash away stabilizer (will depend on your fabric type).
2\. With a light embroidery adhesive spray, lay down a piece of terry cloth that measures 2 inches wider and two inches taller than the outline of the mitt.
> *Master [**how to use adhesive spray with embroidery**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-use-machine-embroidery-adhesive-sprays/) to avoid problems.*

3\. Stitch all of the design but the last triple-stitch outline.
4\. Remove the hoop from the machine
5\. Turn the hoop over with the back side up and lightly spray the second piece of towel with temporary embroidery spray,
6\. Lay down the fabric and pin the corners (you will be attaching this to the WRONG side).
7\. Carefully return to the machine and stitch the last partial outline.
8\. Remove from the machine and trim with a 1-inch border,
9\. Carefully using scissors, clip every inch or so up to the satin border to create small flaps. Do not cut through the satin border.
10\. Shake out the mitt and wash before use.
## Conclusion: Kids Embroidered Bath Mitts Are Quick & Easy
These make fun and functional gifts for any child (or adult) and can be used over and over. The beauty of this project is that you can recycle towels and small pieces of fur or soft material and make bath time more fun! The design choices are endless, be sure to use **[high-quality embroidery designs](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-designs/kid-baby/)** to ensure your new project gets lots of use!
Here are a few takeaways to remember:
- Use new or old terry towels or other sherpa, fuzzy or fluffy fabrics that are soft on tender skin.
- Make sure to use a wash away medium stabilizer (fabric type) so that the inside and the outside of the mitt are soft and porous.
- Wash before use and toss in the laundry whenever you want them clean and fresh!

## Machine Embroidery Pet Accessories
### Small Embroidered Accessories for Your Furry Friends
These would be anything your pet wears for identifying, protection or fun.
- Pet collars – Of course, these are the most common items to identify the animal’s name. Collars can also have helpful information such as:
- Owner name and number
- Cautions like blind. deaf, or bite risk
- Contact me here
- Service Animal
- Pet tags
- Herbal pet collars- can be stuffed with natural flea and tick repellant.
- Collar Covers – these can be washed and changed out for the season. Also great when you cannot embroider on a thick webbing
- Earmuffs
- “Elizabethan Collars” (yes, the dreaded collar of shame put on animals after surgery or to prevent over-grooming. These are now found in “stuffie” form and can be pretty humorous.
- **Bandanas – decorative to change with the seasons or displayed with your pet’s name on it**
> *When it comes to creating custom pet projects like collars, bandanas, and leashes, I suggest using a tear-away stabilizer ([**click here for a complete guide to embroidery stabilizers**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-use-machine-embroidery-stabilizer/)) . Floating these products would be easier with the simple principle of having a baseline for your placement and tack-down. Keep reading to find out how to create this yourself!*

### Embroidered Clothing for Animals
Though first used to identify the animal with its owner in the late 1800s, pet fashion is a multi-billion dollar business. You probably did not know that New York Fashion Week has a show for pet wear.
Here are some things you might see:
- Coats or wraps to keep warm
- Protective wear for the weather
- Show wear to keep grooming neat and clean
- Booties for tiny feet
### All Things Embroidered and Pet Needs
We do not have enough time to think about all the potential items you can make, but they can be embroidered if it is made of fabric, leather, vinyl, or other fabric-like materials! Here is an idea of the wide range you might find.
- Blankets
- Cage covers
- Drool cloths (any Great Dane owners? This is for you!)
- Flags to show your pet pride
- Portable drinking bowls- can be folded up and snapped shut. These are not meant to be used every day and not meant to hold water for long periods, but they are lovely for a quick drink.
- Food bowls – great for dry food because they can be washed and reduce the chance of pet acne.
- Toys such as stuffed animals, fold up frisbees etc.
- Catnip stuffies
- Dog poop bag holders
- Pet treat bags
- Pet leashes – these can tell people information such as “caution dog at work” or “please don’t pet.”

## Machine Embroidery For Pets: Cautions
Everything appears fine until someone gets hurt, right? Unfortunately, there are some cautions you will want to keep in mind.
Not unlike embroidery for babies, pets are curious creatures and will investigate everything around them. Consider anything that someone can pull off, pick at, or that may pose choking or other hazards. Here are some considerations you will want to keep in mind.
- Dangling ribbons, strings, bells, buttons, etc.
- Choke hazards – You know your pet, but you may not be considering other outside factors. That squirrel that runs along the fence line, and the little dog shimmying under the fence, can all cause your pet to react in ways you didn’t realize. Make sure your collars, clothing, etc., all have a “breakaway” feature, so they are not hung up on a hazard and risk being choked.
- Thread- especially for cats, thread is a potential hazard. Make sure to keep your stitches shorter so you do not snag threads in your design and make tails that might be chewed on or pulled out
- Chemicals- when using sprays, treatments, paints, and more, always check the label so that there are no harmful chemicals.
- Room to breathe and move! Make sure when you create your doggie designer suit that it fits correctly and allows Fido to run and play
- Cats do not generally like clothing put on them, so don’t be disappointed if they turn their nose up to that stylin’ hat!

## Conclusion: Embroidery You’ll Be Mutts For
We’ve covered a lot! Hopefully, this article has helped to start getting some ideas going! Here are some things we covered which are paws-itively important to keep in mind:
- Always think safety! You love your pet and want what’s best for them.
- The sky’s the limit! If a famous fashion designer can have a runway show, so can you and your best friend!
- Remember that pet designs are not just for clothing; they can be used on accessories, dishes, flags, and more.

### [Easy DIY Embroidered Potholder: Machine Embroidery](https://embroiderylegacy.com/potholder-machine-embroidery-project/)
**Published:** August 11, 2025
**Author:** Embroidery Legacy
**Content:**
Baking is all fun and games until someone loses an oven mitt! What should you do when you have hot dishes to take out of the oven but don’t want to burn a hole in your wallet? Create one, of course!
Do you want cute kitchen decor that looks pricey but only costs you a fraction of the cost? We’re giving you three fun and easy ideas so you can create your potholder to your taste! Be sure to follow our steps outlined in this project tutorial to create your own personalized embroidered potholder.
## Why Create This Easy DIY Embroidered Potholder?
If you’re often in the kitchen cooking or baking, a potholder is used regularly!
When creating your own embroidered pot holders, you can customize them to your decor taste by mixing and matching different [embroidery designs](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-designs/), fonts, threads, and fabrics! The best part about creating your own is that it will certainly be one-of-a-kind and exactly what you’re looking for.
Not only do you not want the food burning, but you also don’t want a burning hole in your wallet. Buying decor lately, even potholders, isn’t cheap, so why not use up extra scraps or old items you have to turn something old into something new. Used materials that can be used include old towels as batting, old jeans, heavy-duty canvas, etc. There is one caution, though; make sure to use heavier woven material, not knit, and definitely not lace or any material which could melt under heat.
This potholder is a pretty simple project to do! Not only can you create a pair for yourself, but you can also make it for a housewarming or birthday gift.
## Supplies Required For This Easy Embroidered Potholder:
- [**Embroidery digitizing software**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-software/digitizing/)
- Tear away [**embroidery stabilizer**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-use-machine-embroidery-stabilizer/)
- Iron
- [**Fabric for embroidering**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-use-main-machine-embroidery-fabrics/) (if recycling material, use old jeans, heavy-duty canvas) – size depends on embroidery design used but should be 2 inches longer around all sides.
- Batting (or could use an old terry towel) – size should be the same as the potholder.
- [**Embroidery thread**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-threads/)
- [**Embroidery design**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-designs/)
> *Now, remember that you don’t have to use this design for your embroidered potholder. To really personalize your custom embroidered potholder, you can choose from our giant database of close to* [***30,000 quality embroidery designs***](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-designs/)*, or you can create your design text or image with our* [***embroidery fonts, including BX fonts, ESA fonts, and Stitch File fonts***](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-fonts/)*!*

## Embroidered Potholder Tutorial Using Embroidery Software:
A basic potholder is just a bag turned inside out and sewn shut. You can make them in the hoop and either finish stitching it up by hand or use a machine and stitch around the edge.
**Step 1:** Using your **[embroidery digitizing software](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-software/digitizing/)**, digitize a square using a running stitch to fit your hoop. This will be your basting box; it holds the terry and canvas in place while it stitches. (If you are using a 4×4 inch hoop, skip this step- you will sew these on the sewing machine to give yourself a larger mitt).
**Step 2:** Add your desired embroidery design or text.
**Step 3:** Digitize a square using triple stitch to fit your hoop. (If you’re using a 4×4 hoop, skip this). Leave one portion open on one side so you can turn it inside out.
**Assembling materials for stitching:**
**Step 1:** Hoop a piece of medium tear-away stabilizer
**Step 2:** Lay a piece of terry cloth or batting 2 inches larger than you want the finished potholder.

**Step 3:** Lay a piece of denim or canvas 2 inches larger than you want the finished pot holder.
Step 4: Stitch your design.
**To create the potholder:**
**Step 1:** Trim the pot holder to ¼ inch from the stitching- taper the corners, so there is less fabric to turn over.
**Step 2:** Leave a “tab” in the opening, so you have enough fabric to turn in.
**Step 3:** Turn the pot holder inside out and use a corner tool or closed scissors to push out your corners.
**Step 4:** Fold the tab in and press with a steam iron
**Step 5:** Either hand sew or stitch a ¼-inch top-stitching around the edge.
**Step 6:** Sew a diagonal “X” if you want through the pot holder to keep the material in place.
**Step 7:** USE YOUR MITT!
## Creating Machine Embroidery Potholders With Designs & Patterns
Once you learn how to use this easy process, you can create so many variations you could do one every day for a month and still not have scratched the surface! Here are three great ideas to get you started:
### Quilted Machine Embroidered Potholder
Use a simple quilted design to create a durable mitt. Choosing different embroidery designs creates different looks.
For example, this sun quilting design can be used for bohemian-inspired kitchen decor.
When using an embroidery design, don’t forget that you can break apart the design and change colors in your embroidery software. Remember to have fun!
After adjusting your designs to your preferences, you’ve created a one-of-a-kind potholder ready to keep those hands safe!
### Fun Saying Machine Embroidered Potholder
Another way to further personalize and add fun to your embroidered potholders is to add some sayings and text!

Remember, when using an embroidery design, use the same process as above. Insert the design inside the stitched border, leaving at least ½ to 1.0 inches between the design and the border.
> *Want to create your own sayings? Check out our [**1000+ font designs, including BX fonts, ESA fonts, and stitch file fonts**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-fonts/). Remember, fonts set the tone for what you’re trying to say!*

## Conclusion: Bring the Heat & Create This Easy Embroidered Potholder
Pot holders are so easy and fast to make and can be done in the hoop, whether large or small. We’ve heated up the kitchen enough, so sit back with a cool iced drink, and let’s recap:
1. Use new or recycled materials: old terry towels, old jeans, canvas- they all can make nice pot holders. Cotton is better than nylon when selecting material, and it’s best to avoid knits, lace, or non-woven material.
2. Use different embroidery designs, fabrics, and threads to personalize your potholders -they’ll be one-of-a-kind!
3. They are easy and cheap, which makes them great for regifting: themed mitts, weddings, holidays, personalized, logo, and more!

### [Properly Path Embroidery Designs while Digitizing for Better Results](https://embroiderylegacy.com/pathing-design-embroidery-digitizing/)
**Published:** August 11, 2025
**Author:** Embroidery Legacy
**Content:**
Who can remember Dorothy skipping down the yellow brick road with her friends from the Wizard of Oz? The shiny yellow path led the way, and she followed it through thick and thin to the end of the rainbow. Although pathing isn’t always *that* fun and exciting in embroidery, it is functional and necessary to make any embroidery design run smoothly on your machine (which saves you from frustration)!
In this article, we’re going to go where no one thinks they want to go, but after you practice a little, you will be the pathing master! We will discuss what pathing is, bullet-proof designs, and a bit of the theory behind why it is important.
> Before we dive in, if you’re interested in creating/editing embroidery designs or just want to become a better digitizer, I highly suggest you enroll in our popular [**Free Embroidery Digitizing 101 Course**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-classes/digitizing-education/free-101-course/). This 20-minute video course will give you a solid foundation of digitizing (yes, including pathing) and also includes a very helpful printable cheat sheet PDF!

## What Is Pathing In Embroidery Digitizing
Pathing is the art (and it is an art) of looking at artwork and determining the objects you need to get your design made and then creating an order or “path” for the machine to follow. We often forget that embroidery machines and computers are machines. They do what we tell them to do, and most often, if something is wrong, we told them to go there.
Pathing has many components, but let’s break it down into a model we can understand. Imagine a super hot and cheesy pizza fresh from the oven- half is pepperoni and half is veggie. The crust is our foundation (the underlay and the stitching layer on top), then a layer of sauce which covers the whole thing (a layer of stitching), and then our toppings (more layers of stitching). By playing around with these, we can improve our design. Without getting too hungry, keep that picture in your head; you will need it in a bit…
## Why Is Pathing Important When Digitizing?
Pathing is important because it allows the design to stitch out quickly with few trims and give you soft, supple embroidery. Given we used to run one of the world’s largest quality digitizing companies (where we did work for companies like Disney, Levi’s, John Deere, etc) we stand behind investing the time to learn theory and then put that to use is the best way to create the best stitchable designs.

### Preventing Bullet-proof Embroidery Designs
When John speaks about “bullet-proof” embroidery, he refers to the density of the stitching caused by either too many trims or too many layers. Bullet-proof can also come from crowding stitches. Ever felt uncomfortable in a crowded concert? An airport? There are too many people pushing and shoving, and we get cramped. Stitches get cramped too! Too many of them can create waves; too many on top of one another can break needles. Too many trims are uncomfortable to wear.
Pathing helps to reduce the amount of stitches and trims through fewer layers, making the embroidery more supple. As you see better and better results, you will want to digitize so that the designs come off the machine with an “OOOooo,” not an “eeeewwww”.

## Embroidery Digitizing Theory
I can feel everyone cringe. Theory…. Eeew ick. Sorry folks, it is a necessary part of learning to digitize well, and the more you do it, the easier it will become. Anyone who likes puzzles will be delighted because pathing is just a big puzzle which has a goal of the fewest stops.
This is a way of thinking about pathing…
Remember the puzzles in which you had to draw this “simple” envelope without lifting your pencil? (I am convinced it is impossible, and others must be too because there was a box below to tick if you thought it was unsolvable). Pathing tells the machine to start at one point and continue without stopping to trim if possible.
### Why Reduce Trims/Stitch Time In Embroidery?
In the commercial embroidery world, reducing stitch counts and keeping machines moving at the highest reasonable speed is a sure way to increase profits.
For every trim, you lose approximately 120 stitches, and that adds up! Let’s say you have 25 trims in a project. For each one, you lose 120 stitches; at 700 spm (stitches per minute) you just lost 4 minutes 15 seconds. If you run that project, say, 15 times for a client, you have just lost over 1 hour of stitching and tending time.
Aside from the additional time, additional trims means more scratchy knots. Anything you can do to reduce the texture of the back of the design is important.
### Pathing Success With Unusual Fabrics
Pathing is also critical when embroidering unstable materials. Ripples and puckers surrounding designs on thin or stretchy fabrics can be so frustrating. Dense stitching or poor stabilization can cause these problems, but using too much stabilizer and hooping too tightly will not solve this. Poor pathing can explain some of these problems.
### Pathing Causes Fewer Registration Problems
When embroidery stitches, it pushes a ‘wave’ of the fabric ahead of the stitching. Ripples are caused when you stitch toward a section that is already stitched to the stabilizer. Imagine you have a rug sitting on a wood floor. Moves around a bit when you walk on it, right? Now imagine a sofa sitting on the rug; it has anchored it down. You are vacuuming this floppy rug toward the couch, which does not move, and you cause a ripple that ends up against the sofa. Well, now you have a wave of fabric trapped by the couch on one side and you and the vacuum on the other!
Careful pathing can help you to get the rug cleaned and have it stay flat! In embroidery, it can help you to create a soft, supple stitchout with the fewest trims possible. By pathing your design correctly, you will not have to use layers and layers of stabilizer to make up for a poorly planned design.
## How Does Pathing Work When Digitizing?
To understand how pathing works, we will use a bit of a different visual to illustrate. Imagine you are in a baton race. Your team of four gets from point A to point B by running a bit then handing off the baton to the next person. Unless you drop it (uh oh…bad), you get where you need to go quickly. Dropping the baton means that you have to stop and pick it up, causing a delay and losing the race… That’s a trim.
The illustration above is just a line- pretty simple, right? Let’s get a bit harder.
### Pathing From Object to Object
An “object” in embroidery can be anything. A single stitch is technically an object, and all objects have one thing in common. They all have a start and stop.
To move from object to object, we must have a start and a stop point in each one. The very beginning of the design or object will have a start diamond and then a series of stops which each have a new start on top of it. This goes on and on like a daisy chain until you reach the end, the final stop plus sign.
In our pathing road race, there are winners and losers. The winners have the least trims. Here is another picture to help you think of how objects relate.
## Layering In Embroidery
Let’s take just a moment to talk about how many layers we want in our embroidery. Remember that too many makes for thick bullet-proof stitching, so we try to cut down when we can. Most objects have an underlay to give a great foundation, but if we have layers, we don’t need it because our first layer can function as our foundation.
In the illustration above, you see three objects; the oval, triangle, and lightning bolt. The winner has placed the start and stop correctly, so they line up like the road race, and there is only one trim. The *loser* lost because their second stop was at the bottom of the triangle, and then there is a jump to the new start. In some machines, this can cause a long jump stitch you will need to trim later.
Okay… take a breather… a lot to know, right? Pathing was such a mystery until I learned to use it to my advantage and treated it more like a puzzle than a problem. You will not get pathing right every time but rest assured it will come with time. Okay, now for the pizza.
It is time to talk pizza: crunchy chewy crust, a layer of sauce, layer of cheese, and layers of goodies. Even if we think that more is better, often it is not. Let’s add another layer of crust. OOooo way too heavy. More sauce? Too sloppy. More cheese? (okay, more cheese is good.) But you get the idea. The best pizza has one great crust and then carefully added layers of sauce, cheese, and toppings for the perfect balance.
Embroidery is the same. If we know that we will be layering a lot of stitching, we have tricks to lessen the load. Always be mindful of a good foundation.
- **Eliminate the underlay**. This is best done with the Tatami stitch, which has short stitches which are more stable.
- **Lessen the density of the layer**. If you cannot remove an underlay (or shouldn’t), lessen the density by increasing the width between stitches or lengthening the stitches themselves.
- **Be thoughtful about the number of cutouts- keep the underlay unbroken**. Many times new digitizers have a design with lettering or other shapes laid over a foundation, and they are tempted to “cut out” a hole in which their letter or shape will sit. They are rightfully thinking that having “one layer” of stitching will work the best, but by doing that, they have destabilized the foundation (basically pulling bricks out) and created many more stitches!

- **Make sure to use your “fabric select” tool**. There are several cases in which this helps with density.
### What Is A Layer Of Stitching In Embroidery?
A layer of stitching is just that. Even a line of stitching on top of another creates another layer of stitches that add to density. We have to be thoughtful of how many we accumulate by watching what kinds of layers they are and what colors.
### Color Layering With Embroidery
Color comes into play in our pathing pizza because we want to be economical. You would not put a layer of sauce on one side and cheese on the other, then go back to the sauce, right? Methodically we put down a layer of sauce, then a layer of cheese, etc. Same thing with colors. Look at your design. If you have two areas of color, it makes sense to stitch those in the same layer to eliminate trims unless the design calls for it. If you do not, you end up going back and forth from color to color, and this adds a lot of effort for single needle stitchers.
So you decide what areas you need in a certain color, but they are far apart! Now what? Use a running stitch! Use that stitch to travel from the first object to the next without dropping the baton and creating a trim.
> Remember to create the object, then the running stitch, then the second object so that they stay in order and preserve the pathing.

What If I Can’t Put A Running Stitch Across My Design?
Go undercover! Be sneaky and hide it under another object, the border, anywhere you can think!
Does it always work? Nope, sorry! Sometimes we end up with a trim. But tricks like this can help the overall feel of your stitching. Below you will see what this would look like with your starts and stops.
Wait, wait, wait! What is happening with the pentagon on the left? Here’s your answer… the blue shape stitches first starting from the lower right and then ending where we will begin our next color (layer). We choose to start the pentagon *there* so that the end stitch is perfectly placed to begin the traveling stitch to the oval where we will end.
> **Ensure you have your start/stop lined up and use your “design information” tab to keep checks on how many trims you have.** You can also see trims by turning off “true view.” Starts will be circles and trims triangles.

A little bit unrelated (but still important), we must say that you can have issues playing around with your start and stop. If you have an object which has the start on the bottom and stop at the top, it will stitch from bottom to top. If you move the start to halfway up the object, the machine takes you literally, and it will start in the middle and stitch up. But it has to finish the bottom, so it goes to the very bottom and then stitches to the finish point. This can have two effects; one is a gap in the stitching because pull on the fabric will pull the stitching out of alignment or overlapping because push squishes the stitches together.
Often in discussions, you will see people ask, “***why is this line in the middle of my tatami stitching***??” Here is why.
Move your start and stop so that it starts on one side, then stitches to the other, keeping in mind what the stitch angle is.
Oh wow, a lot to take in, right?

## Conclusion: Pathing While Digitizing Is Essential To Quality Embroidery
Pathing is creating an order or “path” for your machine to follow; this is essential to digitizing quality embroidery! Without proper pathing you end up with bullet-proof designs (designs with too many layers or trims).
Knowing the theory behind why and when you digitize is essential to reduce trims and stitch time. It is critical when embroidering unusual fabrics and causes fewer registration problems. Theory is also important in pathing object to object, helping to create the least amount of trims, resulting in amazing embroidery!

### [Color Theory In Machine Embroidery](https://embroiderylegacy.com/color-theory-in-machine-embroidery-how-to/)
**Published:** August 11, 2025
**Author:** Embroidery Legacy
**Content:**
Is there anything better than opening your new set of embroidery thread cones? So shiny, so rich, so many colors! What to do with them all? Embroiderers, new and old, get overwhelmed with the hundreds of colors available to them, and often even if they do choose a palette of colors they think work together, they can still feel something is… lacking.
In this article, we are going to take a look at color theory. It may sound boring, but it is actually quite interesting. Plus, with a bit of background, you can pick a harmonious palette with some perfect accents. We will discuss:
- [Color theory history; why are specific colors used over others.](#)
- [Color terminology; knowing terminology will give you a good understanding of color theory more effectively.](#)
- [Color harmony; why is the color wheel so important?](#)
- [Color theory for machine embroidery; how to determine proper colors for color blending in your embroidery designs.](#)
## Color Theory History
Color theory is much older than you would think. The ancient Greeks assigned meanings to colors, and the lustrous white buildings and statues we see today were once gaudily painted!
Aristotle in 632 BCE, wrote on color theory and how colors could be mixed to produce others. Leonardo DaVinci in 1490, wrote extensively in his notebooks on color and the effect of light. Isaac Newton wrote on the nature of primary colors (red, blue, yellow), creating a stir in 1704. In fact, the color wheel we know was created by Newton.
Poets, artists, even philosophers wrote on color. Goethe, the famous German philosopher, wrote on the nature of color and how it affects mood and perception. Color can be used to make us feel comfortable, excited, moody, sad, happy (by the way, it is no accident that emotions are assigned colors; red angry, blue sad, etc.).
Today, designers and architects have a lot of research to make sure that you feel the way they want you to in their spaces. Restaurants are often painted red which is rich and comfortable, and other spaces are painted in ways to make you feel uncomfortable so you will come and leave quickly.
### Modern Color History
While color up to the mid-1800s was used to accurately depict what people saw, in the late 1880s, movements in the art world profoundly affected art as we know it today. Like the social movements that allowed for free expression, the painting movement (style) called Expressionism advocated for painting to evoke emotion or feelings and not simply record what you saw. Therefore, you might find a painting blue and dismal, angry and red with distorted figures and splashes of color.
## Color Terminology
- Saturation: A measure of how intense, rich, or vivid color is. Most colors are in their most saturated forms straight from a tube, and then they lose saturation as you mix them with other colors.
- Hue: Refers to the position of a color on the color wheel.
- Tint/Shade: Tint is a color plus white. Shade is a color plus black.
- Tone: A broad term used to describe a color that is not a pure hue and is not black or white. In many cases, artists use tone to describe a color that has been grayed down.
- Value: How light or dark the color is, on a scale of black to white. Value is widely considered to be one of the most important variables to the success of a painting.
- Primary colors: A primary color, as described by Newton, is red, yellow, or blue. These colors cannot be made from others.
- Secondary Colors: Made by taking two primary colors and mixing them to create another color. So red + yellow = orange, or blue + yellow = green, or red + blue = purple.
- Tertiary colors: Made by combining two secondary colors.
- Pantone© Color Chart. The Pantone color chart system began in the 1950s in New Jersey and were created to aid in standardizing color for printing and manufacturing.
So, if we had a soft drink and wanted to have two different companies produce bottles or labels, ads, or pictures, the color chart system would ensure that the colors were the same. Likewise, embroidery thread companies reference Pantone numbers. If you are stitching for a client and have a specific color, they know your stitch out colors will be the same.
## Color Harmony
Okay, so we keep talking about the color wheel…. well, here it is!
The color wheel is divided into warm and cool colors. When a warm color is placed next to a cool color, it creates a nice vibrant contrast. Alternatively, when a cool color is placed next to another cool color, blue and purple, for example, it is pleasing and harmonious. Though some would say it would be wonderful to live in an all purple and blue world; it would quickly become boring!
> *Warm colors usually portray activity and light- and cool colors are used for calm and soothing environments.*

So let’s talk about neutral colors. Nope, they are not beige (warm) or light blue (cool). White, black, and gray are generally considered neutral colors and are used to create tints and hues of other colors.
Ready for an amazing fact? You would think that black is the inclusion of all colors, but it is not! In fact, black is the absence of color, and white is the inclusion of all colors. Now, this has to do with the light spectrum, but we are not having a physics class today!
**Highlight Colors**
The highlights are the areas on an object where light is hitting the object. Highlights are generally created by using the tint of the color. The opposite of highlights are shadows. Shadows are the areas on the object where light is not hitting. Remember that highlights do not have to be white! They can be of many colors. Likewise, shadows can be any color.
**Lowlight Colors**
**Most ladies who have had hair colored know that lowlights are the rich dark colors that are used just like highlights but as pops of dark color. Lowlights can create depth and shadow and are just as important to hair and painting!**
## Color Theory For Machine Embroidery
So let’s apply some of the above to embroidery. Since embroidery can be anything from a colorful name on a bag to a photographic stitch out, it is crucial to remember that color is there for us to use. Do not assume anything; try everything!
Look to nature for realistic color palettes. Look to the masters for interesting and exciting color combinations! We always assume that master painters just happened that way, but it was a combination of an extraordinarily gifted person with a sound education. Most classical masters did color studies of those before them.
These peas are primarily green, right? These colors are analogous, and they live beside each other on the color wheel. They are lovely, but if they were the only colors in your stitch out, it could get a bit boring.
Let’s add another color. Purple is across from the green on the color wheel, and these are complimentary colors. The colors which sit across from each other can be used effectively to bring life to your work. They do not have to be directly across but something in the area as it still gives vibrancy.
**Triadic Colors**
Triadic colors, like their name implies, sit in a triad on the color wheel. Bringing in this third color livens up our painting and makes it richer. In nature, some of the most vibrant examples are triadic. For example, these rainbow macaws almost seem artificial, but they are created that way to fit into their environment. Flowers, likewise, can have vibrant colors. These are often so that the ultraviolet let emitted attracts insects and pollinators.
Of course, there are so many more theories and examples but let us move on to embroidery because that is why we are here!
### Base Colors in Embroidery
Many of the most beautiful embroideries start with some base color. It may not exactly match the colors around and on top of it, but it ties them all together and gives a feel of togetherness. Let’s look at some examples from our [**Embroidery Legacy embroidery designs**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-designs/)!

If you have not had a chance to look at the Santa collection, now is the time! These wonderful stitchings have a vintage feel. Why? They have a base color tying them together, which you might not have chosen. If you look carefully at the design, you will see beige as the unifying color, and the pops of pink, white, and light blue bring it to life.
Using a base color in color blending embroidery can be as simple as laying down a large area of color (it can be as dense or light as you like, no need to be too heavy), and working your design on top or around it or using a unifying color in large areas or accents.
Using the theories above, let’s look at some more examples.

Take a look at this koi fish. It pretty much explodes right off the page, and it is lively and vibrant. This is a great example of complementary color. The bright orange and red set against the cool blues and white make for a great stitch out. These are complementary colors; they sit across from each other on the color wheel, and they provide contrast and activity.

This is a lovely more photographic stitch out. It is done in complementary colors, but there are shades and tints (selecting colors with black or white added) and colors toned down by choosing threads that are mixtures of colors across the color wheel or choosing colors with small amounts of brown. For example, you can tone down a yellow by adding blue or a small amount of purple.
There is an art to selecting colors for large-scale stitch outs like this; it takes years to perfect, and you need a good eye, but there are many sources of free color theory classes, and you can always step outside your door and look at nature around you!

### Using Pops Of Color In Embroidery
Embroidery relies on so many variables to make it stand out and appear lively and lifelike. There are stitch angles, stitch types, and layering, but little pops of color can bring just the right touch!

This Great Dane is so lifelike! Of course the stitching and texture work well to give a lifelike appearance to the fur. When you first glance at him, the color pops in the eyes produce a 3D quality as well as the white/cream accents in the eyebrows.
Color pops used in the right amount can bring life and vibrancy to your stitchouts. A word of caution though, less is more! Just because things are great does not mean we need a lot of them! We all love pizza but an entire extra large pizza loaded with toppings dulls the senses (and the stomach) after a while.
When adding pops of color if you think you have enough, remove the last thing you added. Look away from the design and then glance back- are there too many? Another creative way of using a color pop is to use the opposite color on the color wheel.

This iguana is primarily blue and green with some yellow, but what makes him “pop” are those red/pink accents.
### Thread Color Blending

This Frogmouth embroidery design is a great example of color blending. Although it is almost monochromatic (all one color) there are shades (adding black to a color) and tints (adding white to a color) as well as tones (adding another color) which make this little guy lifelike. It also helps him to blend into his surroundings. Some animals want to be seen, others don’t. Blending does not have to be monochromatic though, it can be rich and luscious!
### Variegated Thread in Embroidery
We will not delve too much into variegated thread but please make use of it! You would not think of using it for an accent or a base layer but often these threads will create a depth which might have been lacking!
Variegated threads come in all varieties of color blends but here are a few things to keep in mind:
- What colors are included? (Complimentary? Analogous?)
- Are they simply Shades (add black) or Tints (add white)
- How many colors are included?
- What is the repeat? (short repeats can look like stripes)
- Is it an abrupt color change or a subtle one?
You may have a periwinkle blue Vinca flower with luscious green leaves and need some running stitch for definition around the flower leaves. Why not a variegated orange? It is across from purple on the color wheel so it will add pop and liveliness. Likewise, you may have a fairly monochromatic design (one color choice), adding a rainbow variegated thread might just be the touch it needs to come alive.
When choosing variegated thread the vendor should tell you information about the colors and the pattern of the color changes.
### Color Palettes in Embroidery Thread
If it is offered, take a look at color palettes offered from thread companies. They may surprise you. You can also learn a lot about embroidery color theory looking at the colors they have selected. For beginners using these pre-chosen colors will help you to learn by seeing how they interact in your stitchings.
## Color Blending In Embroidery Digitizing
When it comes to digitizing realistic embroidery designs, blending colors is one of the most important techniques to know for the best outcome of your design.
Blending in digitizing can be done manually, which can be more time-consuming but will give more of an artistic flair, or it can be done within your digitizing software.

## Conclusion: Apply Color Theory To Your Embroidery Designs For Results That Stand Out
We discussed so many things but some of the key points you need to remember:
- Learn about the color wheel; the different colors and how they can be mixed.
- Think about ways to use color pops in your stitchings. Colors close to the main color or opposites which may not seem good in theory but work really well!
- Look to nature for color ideas.
- Remember that colors you think are there may be just the tip of the iceberg (clouds)
- Try some variegated thread for variety, have some fun!
- Learn some new color choices by looking at professionally created designs and vendor color palettes.

### [Machine Embroidery Scissors | 5 Things You Need to Know](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-scissors/)
**Published:** August 11, 2025
**Author:** Embroidery Legacy
**Content:**
Fabrics, threads, and designs are all essential tools to creating quality embroidery, but there is another essential tool we often forget about… scissors!
How much do we really know about scissors, and how do we choose from all those shapes, sizes, colors, and types in our embroidery? Let’s cut right to the chase & sharpen our knowledge (pun intended)!
This article will cover:
1. [**Embroidery scissor anatomy and terminology**](#)
2. **[Types of scissors used in embroidery](#)**
3. **[How to choose embroidery scissors](#)**
4. **[Embroidery scissor care](#)**
5. **[Machine embroidery projects using scissors](#)**
## Embroidery Scissor Anatomy and Terminology
- **Scissors:** Scissors have two sharp blades held together and pivot on a single point in the middle. When used, the grip of your hand forces the blades to close, shearing the material in two.
- **Shears:** Shears are more expensive than all-purpose scissors because they are tougher and more versatile. Shears have different-sized finger holes. The smaller finger hole on one handle is for your thumb, and the larger is for your fingers. Because you can hold shears using more than one finger, you can apply more pressure and have extra control when you use them to cut. The blade on shears is usually longer and sharper than on a pair of scissors. This will cut cleanly without ragged edges. The sharper blade and better grip make this the sturdier tool.
- **Finger holes, hand hole tang:** These are the two holes (sometimes large, sometimes small) and the little tail you see on barber shears to rest your finger and make cutting more accurate.
- **Right and left-handed:** Most scissors are designed for the right hand, but there are special “left-handed” scissors for those who are left-handed. There are two varieties. The first has reversed finger grips (cheaper to manufacture), and the second is “true” left-handed scissors with reversed blades and grips.
## Types of Scissors Used In Embroidery
- **Craft scissors:** everyday scissors (you don’t have to hide).
- **Applique scissors:** often have a regular blade and a flat semi-circular blade that rests under the fabric.
- **Dressmakers shears:** usually a blade 7-10 inches long, tapered with one rounded tip to prevent snagging and one pointed tip. These are made for accuracy; the bottom blade rests flush on the table for better control.
- **Pinking shears:** have a serrated edge, so it does not fray or unravel fabric and cloth.
- **Tailor scissors:** shorter blades around 5 inches. These are designed to cut through multiple layers to the tip.
- **Embroidery snips:** squeeze a spring blade to cut with a fine sharp point. They are used to cut thread rather than fabric.
- **Embroidery scissors:** curved or straight blades and an inch or more that are sharp to the end. Also only used to cut thread.
> *Keep your embroidery scissors in a safe place. You don’t want your scissors to be used on anything other than fabric or thread.*

## How To Choose Embroidery Scissors
So we’ve talked about different kinds of scissors, but which ones do you need and how do you decide which ones to buy?
When choosing scissors, do not choose based on what works for others. It’s all about what works best for you! German, Finnish and Japanese brands are very well made, and there are many kinds. However, even a pair of antique scissors that are well-maintained work very well. Your hands are unique to you, so everyone has their own favorite.
> *For us personally, we use & love both Kai and Famore scissors. From our testing (and we’ve used a lot of scissors over the years) they cut* *perfectly almost every time and are built to last!*

### Embroidery Room Scissor Needs
We recommend each sewing room should have several pairs of inexpensive craft scissors: a pair of fabric shears, embroidery scissors, and a pair of applique scissors. You should have one pair straight and one pair curved. Please do not use these for fabric, paper, or other items. They should be used for thread trimming and applique only.
Though you will be tempted to run out and buy the best of the best, we suggest first learning what works best for you and only really investing in scissors after you know what you need and are most comfortable with. Workable scissors can cost several dollars to several hundred, so starting in a more modest range is recommended.
### Embroidery Scissors For Arthritis
Anyone who has arthritis knows the agony of squeezing a pair of scissors. Things to consider are weight and action.
- Scissors made with aluminum are lighter and easier to use than their heavier cousins but require more frequent sharpening.
- Shears which are closed by your whole hand can be more gentle than ones relying on you squeezing your finger.
- Scissors with a good comfortable grip to help cushion your fingers.
For those of us with limited mobility in our hands, there are many styles of scissors. Here are a few:
- **Bent scissors**: the blades are not in a straight line with the handles; therefore, they do not require you to bend your wrist to operate.
- **Loop handle scissors**: these are actually a take-off on the traditional spring shears of old! They are operated by squeezing the handles together and designed to function with less force.
- **Electric scissors**: while these are wonderful for cutting fabric, they are not the best choice for detailed trimming.
## Embroidery Scissor Care
- **Company recommendations & warranty**– Most scissors, if they’re from reputable companies, have warranties, and many will allow you to register your purchase. They have instructions for care and use, so consult your manufacturer for the most accurate care information.
- **Company sharpening**– Did you know that several of the older scissor companies offer reconditioning and sharpening? For a modest fee (as little as $10 each), you can have the shears returned to their “like new” state. There is often a lead time for this service, but it is worth it after investing up to several hundred dollars per pair! A lot of times, scissor vendors do attend larger embroidery tradeshows too! We’d often bring our Kai & Famore Scissors with us to have sharpened at the Sewing & Stitchery Expo in Washington state.
- **Sprays and toppers**– Every time you cut a piece of fabric with a washable topper in humid conditions, you add a bit of residue to your scissors. Likewise, when cutting fabric after spraying it with tacky spray, you end up with tacky scissors. To clean, do not use water. You should never wash scissors unless they are aluminum which will not corrode. If you must remove washable topper residue, use a damp cloth, avoid the pivot point, and dry immediately. For added protection, spraying with a water dispersing treatment such as WD-40 (water displacing formula #40) and wiping off the excess is recommended (but consult your manufacturer first).
- **Storing scissors**– We all have the “multi-purpose junk drawer,” and scissors do not belong here! Store them in their sleeve or case if you received one with the purchase or in a piece of Styrofoam so the points are protected, and your hands are safe.
## Machine Embroidery Projects Using Scissors
So we have talked a lot about scissors, but let’s discuss a few awesome specialty projects. Keep in mind you’ll want to take your time to trim your fabric in these designs and follow instructions carefully. Using the correct type of scissor and the more time and detail you take trimming, the more likely you produce stunning consistent results.
### Embroidery Applique Scissors
Embroidery applique is tacking down a piece of fabric with a running stitch and then trimming away the fabric. You can then embroider over the raw edge for a clean edge. There are many variations; you can use contrasting fabrics with textures and fancy finishes such as mylar and leather. To [**learn more about embroidery applique and for a complete tutorial, click here**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/applique-embroidery-designs-how-to-techniques/).

Applique scissors are often identifiable from their blades which differ as one looks like a sharper scissor and the other like a duckbill. The sharp blade is used against the fabric you wish to closely cut along, while the wider duckbill blade is used as a protector to the fabric you want to prevent from cutting. This gives you a nice clean cut of your applique fabric while preventing you from making the mistake of cutting the fabric you need untouched for the rest of your project.
### Cutwork Embroidery Designs
Cutwork is a form of embroidery which requires you to first stitch out the outline of a design, cut the fabric inside the outline away (the opposite of applique), and then overstitch the raw edge to produce a clean finish. To [**learn more about cutwork embroidery and for a complete tutorial, click here**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-do-cutwork-embroidery-tutorial/).

We highly recommend using 6″ double edge curved scissors when embroidering your cutwork designs. These are my personal favorite because they have a strong and sharp tip that allows you to cut with intricate detail. Because the tip points upwards, it reduces the possibility of cutting the stabilizer or fabrics you don’t want to be cut.
With a little effort and a great pair of scissors, you can create wonderful designs with cutwork on blouse necklines, napkins, and more; your options are endless!
## Conclusion: Using The Right Scissors Makes All The Difference In Your Embroidery
So we have explored the wide variety of scissors and have given you some things to think about when choosing and caring for them. Here are some things to keep in mind when you start searching for that perfect pair!
- Style of scissors: do you know how you will use them and for which projects?
- Cost of scissors: a high price does not necessarily mean they are the best for you! It doesn’t hurt to try before you buy.
- Care of scissors: some are good for crafting, and some need more tender care. Make sure to treat them well, and you can use them for years to come.
The scissors you use can make all the difference in the end result of your embroidery garment. Let us know in the comments below what your favorite kind of scissors are and what you find most essential in your sewing room!

## Baby Machine Embroidery Projects Ideas
### Things to keep in mind about embroidery for babies
You’ll hear a *lot* about safety, but we cannot discuss it enough. The goal is to be fun and creative, but don’t lose your sense of wonder and play when deciding which design you’ll be using.
- **Safety-** As always, safety should be our number one concern. Ensure that the fabrics you use for your baby garments and accessories are approved for children. Ensure there are no chemicals or other additives. Also, make sure no pieces can be pulled off and swallowed. Beads, bells, tassels, and other embellishments must be secured and not long enough for an infant to eat.
- **Texture-** We always want babies to be cuddled in soft fluffy fabrics but remember they love to explore the things around them. Touch and texture teach babies about their world, and introducing them (safely) to rough, bumpy, silky, and other textures are a wonderful learning experience.
- **Backings**– The back is just as important as the front as the backing is next to your child’s skin. Use the softest backing you can, which will still support the embroidery well. ***No show backings and lightweight cutaway work well.*** You might be tempted to use a wash-away stabilizer, but after it disintegrates, you are left with tie-off knots that can be scratchy. Some people opt to iron on a lightweight fusible stabilizer over the back.
- **Baby Fabrics-** Keep in mind that baby fabrics are slinky and stretchy, so ensure that you [**hoop your embroidery fabric properly**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-hoop-machine-embroidery-tutorial/), so they do not slide. We suggest using a ballpoint needle as it splits fibers and does not cut them.
> *Interested in learning more about stabilizers? Check out our **[embroidery stabilizer guide by clicking here](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-use-machine-embroidery-stabilizer/)** to learn more about when and which stabilizer to use with your next embroidery project.*

### Machine embroidering baby blankets
Baby blankets are an easy and thoughtful gift for any new mom. They provide comfort and warmth and are an excellent way to use fun designs and names creatively. When working on a fluffy soft blanket, here are some great tips to consider:
- **Avoid Bullet-proof designs!** The more stitches and trims you have, the more scratchy and stiff the design will be. If you are not yet ready to **start embroidery digitizing** yourself, use production-friendly designs from a reputable digitizer.
> *[**Click here to check out our 1,000+ high-quality baby embroidery designs**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-designs/kid-baby/) for your next embroidery project.*
>

> [Tweet](/)
- **Extra embellishments.** Adding extras like buttons, ribbons, and bows stimulates the baby’s senses, but they can also be dangerous! Ensure that extras are sewn on (not glued) and that ribbons and bows cannot be long enough to swallow or untie.
Want to take it a step further? Why not create your own embroidery designs? It’s easier than you think! Check out our [**Free Embroidery Digitizing 101: Video Course & Cheat Sheet PDF**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-classes/digitizing-education/free-101-course/) to get started.
- **Appliques are wonderful on baby blankets and garments.** When working with [**applique in machine embroidery**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/applique-embroidery-designs-how-to-techniques/), you can use embroidery software applique features and incorporate fun fabrics and textures. One of the benefits of applique is covering a larger area without many stitches; you can also applique on textured materials for a baby’s curious mind. Additionally, you can “pre-embroider” an applique to soften the fabric next to their skin.
### Machine embroidery for baby onesies, clothes and more
- **Keep it soft!** Remember to keep your stitch outs soft and supple, as we said above. If you are unsure how “scratchy” a design is, run it over your cheek or the back of your hand.
- **Consider design placement.** When placing your design, consider where the baby will put little hands! Babies love texture and colors, so you can use this to your advantage by placing it on the stomach or chest. Also, consider the ever-possible stains. If you haven’t thought of it, embroidering a design on a baby’s back or the seat of their onesie is cute since it’ll be shown off when they’re being held.
- **Consider an embroidered “texture patch”!** Minky fabric, terry microfleece, or even denim can be appliqued onto a onesie in moderation to give a texture spot for curious hands. Baby lambs, teddy bears, and other animals can really pop with added texture.
- **Baby cloths are easy and great gifts.** Since these are used next to a baby’s delicate skin, keep your embroidery soft to not scratch skin. Remember when choosing your **[type of embroidery thread](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-threads/)** that polyester is highly durable and does not stain as easily as rayon. Baby washcloths are used daily (if not hourly), so they can be a wonderful gift.
### Machine embroidered baby accessories
There are so many baby accessories that we cannot possibly mention them all here, but here are a few ideas for your next baby embroidery project:
- Headbands and bows.
- Plush toys – many embroidery-friendly stuffed toys are designed to be personalized.
- Hats and caps – hats are super simple to make and can be embroidered on the side or top.
- Crib bumpers and panels – these are wonderful opportunities to showcase your embroidery. Since these are not next to the baby’s skin, larger designs and heavier stabilizers can be used, but please be cautious when it comes to safety.
## Kid-Friendly Machine Embroidery
### Embroidery designs for kids
Kids are very conscious of “growing up,” so their tastes tend to gravitate to what they see in the world around them, on television, and at the playground. Their needs are a bit different than a baby so here are some things to consider.
- Staying current – check out what is current for kids online, the TV, and with family/friends. Just a friendly reminder when it comes to shows and media to remember copyright infringements when purchasing designs not directly from the owner.
- Work hard, play hard – what will the child do in this garment? Kids are notoriously hard on knees, elbows, and fronts of garments. Consider learning [**how to make custom embroidery patches**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-make-custom-embroidery-patches/) to jazz up the garment and add durability.
- Recycling and saving clothing – use old or damaged garments as fabric for applique. Use embroidery to cover damage on usable clothes. This is a great cover for those infamous pant holes in the knees.

### [Ever Wonder How to Digitize Trees for Breathtaking Machine Embroidery?](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-digitizing-trees/)
**Published:** August 11, 2025
**Author:** Embroidery Legacy
**Content:**
Explore a world where creativity blooms, and we celebrate nature’s beauty through stitches!
Explore the art of digitizing trees and plants, bringing the wonders of the outdoors into your embroidery projects. From textured trees to tall grass, we’ll show you step-by-step how to capture the essence of nature with every [embroidery design](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-designs/) you create.
## How To Digitize Trees In Machine Embroidery
### Digitizing an Oak Tree
When drawing trees, think of them as many connected objects, like the trunk and branches. Don’t see them as one big thing.
Let’s look at a majestic oak tree.
Here are the steps we will take to create our tree: 1. Insert your artwork into your [embroidery software](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-software/digitizing/).
2. Outline the tree.
3. Mark out the large areas of the tree.
4. Using texture, create negative (empty) space and dense fills.
5. Create layers for color.
6. Add in visible branches and trunk.
> *In this tutorial, we are using the Design Doodler Software. Are you new to creating embroidery designs?*
>
> *Download your [**free Design Doodler trial**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-software/design-doodler/free-trial/) to easily turn your drawings into embroidery designs – without any digitizing skills needed! Remember to follow the link to easily create your own nature designs!*

Insert your artwork in your embroidery software.
Please outline the tree, but keep the details minimal as we only establish shapes.
Define the major components. Try using a different color- we can always change to another.
Decide on a texture to use; do NOT try to draw individual leaves. We only look for dark, medium, and light textural areas.
We’ll use vermicelli (or the running stitch), but you can use any style.
Here is how you look at your shapes. In this case, our shape has a light source on the upper left. Therefore the object will be lighter closer to the light and darker further away (think of it like the moon).
We will not fill it with solid stitches; this is just to illustrate. Here is our shape filled with our texture. You can make the darker parts by doodling many layers- using layers is better than making smaller turns.
Start by working from dark to light from object to object. Remember to overlap your objects to look more like a tree and less like a bunch of grapes!
Here is our tree with the objects filled.
Remove the outlines and add branches using a steil stitch (we used 2 mm). Remember that you do not need to “draw” in all the branches; only add the branches you can see.
Here is our finished tree!
And this is the design after it was stitched on the embroidery machine in one and two passes.

### Digitizing a Pine Tree
A pine tree is truly an upside-down ice cream cone! The lower right will look dark, with our light source on the upper left. Since Pine trees are more open than other trees, you will see light through the tree. This makes the center of the tree an extremely dark area.
For this tree, we will use color to show dark and light. Let’s start by looking at a cone shaded.
Now, insert your artwork.
Here is the texture we want to use for the branches.
For this demonstration, we’ll use bright colors to see the top of the pictures. We will start with the “darkest” color. Remember that the tree’s center and the branches’ bottom will be dark.
When you have the dark areas defined, move to the light color (we’ll demonstrate this with pink).
Let’s change the colors to greens (light and dark) and see what we have!
And here is our final tree after we remove the artwork in the background.
After removing the background, we used a dark green to adjust and add some dark areas.
Here is our stitch-out!
## How To Digitize Grass In Machine Embroidery
What about grass?
Grass is just a different type of “tree” with no branches. We will use the same concept above: look for the light source and choose two or three colors.
We will work from dark to light to create the volume. Here is the texture type we will use. Remember that you can experiment with the stitch length and the thread weight to create a more lifelike plant.
Insert your artwork in your embroidery software.
Define your texture. For this grass, we are following the directions displayed.
Work from dark to light to add the blades of grass.
Then, add the medium shading (we’ll use blue for this demonstration).
And finally, add the lightest shading (shown here in yellow).
Change your colors (dark, medium, and light) to your realistic colors.
And here is our completed clump of grass.
## Conclusion: Practice Digitizing Nature In Machine Embroidery
With some practice, you can master all kinds of plants, flowers, and trees, which you can use to add some natural beauty to your stitchouts!
Remember these important tips when digitizing nature: 1. When working on plants or trees, consider them as a group of objects; each object has a volume that you can illustrate with darks and lights.
2. Remember where your light source is. This will help you create consistent volume.
3. To create darker areas, use layers of stitching and do not try to sketch dense areas.
4. Generally speaking, we work from dark to light and are not afraid of punches of white or other colors.
5. Consider experimenting with different stitch types, thread weights, and sketch styles to create your texture. Don’t try to draw individual leaves.

### [Digitizing Tips for Towels & Terry Cloth](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-digitizing-towels-terry-cloth/)
**Published:** August 11, 2025
**Author:** John Deer
**Content:**
Embroidering on terry cloth falls into one of the “unique” categories that, like any application in embroidery production, should not be an issue of difficulty if the proper steps at the digitizing level have been carried out.
An embroiderer needs to follow a few basics if they expect to produce quality goods on this type of fabric. We’re here to help clarify these basics!
I’ll have you know I tried hard to think of some way to make this article a little light-hearted and not just a technical manual, so I might as well apologize in advance as it’s best suited for all us embroidery geeks. But on the plus side, after reading this article, you’ll leave with a better understanding of proper pull compensation, the suitable underlay, and a few suggestions to create the perfect design for embroidering on terry cloth.
## Basics For Digitizing On Terry Cloth
There are a couple of basic rules to follow for those who have not yet experimented with terry cloth at the production level.
1. Most will agree that using Rayon thread over Polyester is preferred for embroidering on terry cloth regarding both run ability and the lifespan of the embroidery itself.
2. Using solvy, a water-soluble plastic film, allows much more detail to be seen on designs and is a must at the production level.
3. For the most part, a tear-away backing is advisable to provide needed stability for your design. Still, cut-away and solvy can also be used as backings in certain circumstances.

## How to Digitize Designs for Towels and Terry Cloth
Over the last few years, as the popularity of both single-head and home embroidery machines have hit the market, individual personalization of products using monogramming and keyboard lettering name drops has quickly become a popular and profitable market.
### Tips When Digitizing Terry Cloth
Purchasing lettering and editing software have become an industry standard, and terry cloth requires specific values that won’t apply to most other fabric types. These values include:
1. Density on your column and fill stitches will need to be increased by about 10% to 20% from standard goods.
2. Increasing pull compensation values is needed to counteract the thickness and pile of the fabric. The amount of pull compensation should increase incrementally as the thickness of the columns does.
3.
3\. Zig-zag underlay, even for smaller lettering with thin columns, is advisable to help mat down the terry cloth and not allow the underlay to fall outside the column stitches. Thicker columns over 3mm can use both edge run and zig-zag underlay types. The edge run will help maintain clean edges on your columns.
### Underlay When Digitizing Terry Cloth
Another way to add an extra dimension to your monograms, embellishments, or elements of your corporate designs is to build up the underlay to create a bit of a three-dimensional effect on your column stitches. It is a very visually effective technique.
However, creating this three-dimensional effect is also more time-consuming as all of your underlay needs to be built up manually. The general idea is to use it on thicker columns that are at least 4mm wide. You start by building up multiple runs on underlay towards the center of your column areas. Be fairly excessive as this is your “cording” so to speak that is going to push up your column stitches. Next, you will manually place zig-zag stitches that run slanted on a 45-degree angle on the first pass and opposite in direction on the second pass creating a webbed effect that holds in all of the centers runs underlay that you placed down first.
Now when you place your satin column stitch over the top, you’ve created a convex ridge of underlay that forms more depth. When using this technique, try not to get too far ahead of yourself before following up from your underlay with your columns. There might be some movement in the design if you do, and the underlay could start popping out.
Getting creative with this technique within corporate designs can have dramatic effects if you choose your design elements correctly.
Digitizing for terry cloth does pose a few challenges. The same values that apply to settings regarding density, pull compensation, and underlay needs to be followed when custom digitizing.
Also, fill stitches will need more stability within the underlay by using cross-stitched underlay instead of the standard opposite direction underlay.
## Fixing Embroidery Designs for Terry Cloth
Corporate designs already digitized are many times embroidered on terry cloth as an afterthought. Luckily, software being as it is today, we can easily and quickly modify the values of these designs without having to re-digitize them. We seem to run into some real difficulty when the design elements consist of much fine detail and small text.
Here are a couple of “easy fixes” when you find yourself in this situation.
### Fill Behind Your Design
**The first thing we usually try is incorporating a 1/3 fill the same color thread as the fabric.**
Place this fill either behind the entire design or just behind the details or text that embroiders directly onto the fabric. This fill is to be digitized with no underlay values and should only include a tie-in and tie-out function. Because it is simply a loose fill it won’t add many stitches to your design and will assist in matting down the pile of the terry cloth for your lettering to sit on top.
### Create Applique Background
**The second option we used when embroidering designs was creating generic appliqués shapes in various sizes and running the designs on top of the appliqués.**
Cataloging circles, ovals, squares, and rectangles in various sizes can translate into quick edits that will work for most logos. This solution is a little more time-consuming and costly for your customers, but the results are embroidery quality that resembles work done on standard materials.
One thing to watch for is that you make sure your material blends are fairly consistent. If your terry cloth is 100% cotton, follow suit with your appliqué fabric to try and minimize varying shrinkage with the differing materials.
Appliqués on terry cloth also work well and are more cost-effective when embroidering decorative projects are geared more towards the retail market. Stitch counts remain lower while resulting in more coverage area, especially since more density and underlay is needed when embroidering fills directly on terry.
Now for a tip that fringes on the creative side and can still be used within the corporate market. We used this technique while running single-color designs, mainly on beach towels. However, it can be done on anything terry cloth, including golf towels.
First, you need to hoop solvy within your frame instead of pelon and then wind your bobbins with the same thread color as the front. Obviously, it works best with embellishment designs and symmetrical logos that are reversible, but even when a design doesn’t hold these attributes, it still gives the embroidery a finished look on the reverse side.
Creating loose-fill designs specifically for this technique generally works best because of the lack of stability by not using the typical backings. On the other hand, once the solvy dissolves away, it tends to lend itself well to the intended purpose of being functional and absorbent.
## Conclusion
Digitizing for terry cloth is easier than you thought with the use of these proper techniques and tools. Remember to increase your density, increase your pull and push compensation, and adjust your underlay.
If you need to adjust your design for embroidering on terry cloth, remember our three simple tips:
- Use a fill behind your design
- Create an applique background
Mastering your skills with this seemingly difficult medium and becoming more creative and experimenting with different techniques will quickly expand your involvement in creating your personalized embroidery for terry cloth and towels.
Follow our suggestions and tips above for the best results. If you enjoyed this article or have a question, don’t forget to leave a comment below.
Happy stitching!

## How To Digitize Eyes In Machine Embroidery
Let’s start with the window to the soul, the eyes!
This is a picture of a human eye.
The shape of an eye gets a bit easier if you understand what shape it *actually* is and how it fits into the skull.
The eyeball is a large globe! The part visible is only a small part of the whole eye as the eyelids cover a majority of it.
This is the reason the corners of the eye seem sunken in.
The easiest way to practice is to work over a picture of a real eye and learn from repetition.
Let’s start with a basic eye. Draw the oval opening of the eye.
Close the inside of the eye by digitizing the bulge where the tear duct sits.
The iris is the round-colored part of the eye. It needs to be as circular as you can make it! When tracing the iris, zoom in on the artwork as it will make the line more steady.
Next comes the pupil. This is the dark part of the eyeball. It looks black because it is a little window into the inside of the eyeball, and there is no light in there.
Have you ever noticed when you take a picture and get a “redeye”? It appears this way from the light reflecting off the back of the eye, which has a lot of blood vessels.
Anytime after you digitize the pupil, you can add a highlight.
> *A note about highlights: they don’t appear in the center of the eye,
> generally to the right or left. They can reflect the shape of the light
> source, which can be square, round, etc.*

We will use our outline of the iris to guide us where to fill in the color. We need that round line to guide us.
Since the eyelids stretch to close, like when you blink or sleep, the skin stretches out. When you open your eyes, the skin folds over and creates creases that can be made with simple running lines.
We will also add a heavier satin stitch line to illustrate the thickness of the eyelid. In this case, less is more; don’t make these lines too heavy and dense.
Now, add a little bit of shading. Just because it is “shading,” don’t be tempted to use only black. Experiment with other colors like brown, green, purple, and pink.
Add a few lashes to your upper and lower eyelids. Remember, the lashes inside of the eye are usually shorter than those on the outer corner.
Here is the final result of the embroidered eye.
After learning the basics, you can add more features to create a design like this!

## How To Digitize A Nose In Machine Embroidery
Let’s move on to the nose!
With many different shapes, you can easily create your own unique nose. You can draw noses in many ways, from a simple swoop to a more detailed one.
This is what the frontal nose looks like:
We will start pretty basic! Let’s outline the main ridges of the nose.
To create depth, we will use three colors—light color for the whole nose, medium, and dark. We will use some dark (black) for the inside of the nostrils.
## How To Digitize A Mouth In Machine Embroidery
Well, we’ve arrived at the mouth!
Drawing a mouth can be easy; from a simple line to complicated artwork, they can be one of the best ways to show emotion.
People often find mouths difficult to draw until they understand some of the shapes of the mouth. The lips are light and dark colors, and you can use simple lines to depict the shape.
But we’ll create something a little more detailed….

We’ll start with a straight line to show how the opening of the mouth curves up and down to make the “cupids bow.” You don’t need to digitize this, but keep it in mind.
Digitize around the lips for a neutral-colored fill.
We will hide that lip fill for now and work on using three colors to show the shadows and highlights that create the lips.
First, the darker areas exist between the lips, and second, the lower lip’s undercut creates a shadow.
These lips are slightly dry; as you can see, some creases create the skin’s texture. We’ll use a medium color in a bean stitch to highlight those.
> *Remember that they don’t just go up and down; they curve with the shape of the lip.*

Now, let’s use a darker color to continue the texture creases. We will use this closer to the bottom of the lower lip and the center of the mouth. Be careful not to use too much!
We ran a line back and forth along the center of the mouth for more definition. You will also notice a single run line around the lips; this is just for more definition but we don’t want it heavy!
Lastly, we’ll add some white highlights again, using those creases in the skin to capture that light!
Now let’s add back the background and see what we have!
Add in a neutral background and we have an awesome set of lips!

### [Machine Embroidery Stitch Types Made Easy: From Novice to Pro](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-digitizing-types-of-stitches/)
**Published:** August 11, 2025
**Author:** Embroidery Legacy
**Content:**
Satin, running, fill… sounds like a cross between clothing, jogging, and construction. But these are embroidery stitch types! What *are* these mysterious stitches, and when are they used?
We thought we would return to basics today and revisit our old friends under the needle. The stitches which make up all the wonderful designs we make! Learning or renewing your understanding of stitches is important to use them efficiently and beautifully!
## What Are Embroidery Stitch Types & Why Are They Important
There are a few different types of machine embroidery stitches that all have different purposes. Here are the primary three:
- **[Running stitch](https://embroiderylegacy.com/running-stitch-embroidery-digitizing/):** multipurpose stitch used to reduce trims and create fine detail. These are stitches, just like a sewing machine.
- **Satin stitch:** a lovely, shiny satin stitch creates a lovely fill or crisp, readable lettering. These stitches are just like a wide-close zigzag on your machine.
- **Fill stitch:** (such as tatami stitch) used plain or change to create patterned fills. These stitches are like a mix of running and satin stitches. They go back and forth closely, creating lovely textures.
> All other embroidery stitch types are simple variations of the three main stitch types listed above. Master them and the creative possibilities are endless! Want to learn more about stitch types?

## Running Stitch
### What is the running stitch?
The running stitch is like a slow jog of straight stitches. It serves the purpose of getting you from here to there, and you can use it in many ways!
If you look closely, it looks just like a sewing machine stitch. The machine sews by passing the needle through the fabric and locking the bobbin thread in place. It repeats this process in regular intervals. It can be short or long, each serving different purposes.
### What is the running stitch used for in embroidery?
The running stitch is underrated!
Here is a list that shows how you can use it.
- Placement or tack down lines for applique and more
- Quilting and Trapunto
- Fine detail work and accent lines
- Medium-sized [embroidery lettering and alphabets](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-fonts/)
- Creating fur texture
- Tripled up to create a “bean” stitch awesome for outlines.
- Creating gorgeous open fills like sashiko stitching.
- Scribbling or painting with long lines of stitches.

### How to use the running stitch
The running stitch is amazing, but there are some things you want to keep in mind. There are minimum and maximum stitch lengths you need to follow to get the best results.
- Keep your running stitch between 1.25 mm (minimum) and 7.0 mm (maximum). A good compromise is 2.5 mm.
- Use stitches larger than 3mm for basting but not larger than 7mm to avoid catching and snagging.
- Anything smaller than 1.25 mm is almost like stitching on top of itself and will be bulletproof if used too much. Often these small stitches will sink into the fabric and not be visible.
- When using embroidery software, the program treats curves differently. As the running stitch goes around a curve it needs to get smaller to maintain a smooth line.
- We recommend a minimum of 1.25 mm around curves. To work on small details, we recommend using “Straight” nodes. These nodes are all 2.5 mm and can complete designs with fewer stitches.
- As a result, the flat surfaces will not be noticeable.
- - Above is an example of how the machine will shorten stitches around tight curves (remember this when thinking about digitizing letters).

## Satin Stitch
### What is the satin stitch?
Satin Stitch is like a zigzag on your sewing machine! (except really close together). It is a tool that fills areas and creates crisp letters and borders.
### What is the satin stitch used for in embroidery?
Most people believe they only use this versatile stitch for letters, but that is false!
Here are some uses for satin stitch:
- Letter outlines
- Beautiful fills with a rippled effect
- Fringe and fun fur
- [Embroidery patch borders](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-designs/patches/)
- Stitch “painting” using a jagged edge to blend colors.
### How to use the satin stitch
Using the satin stitch requires a few guidelines….
- Never create an object with a satin stitch greater than 10 mm for large areas. 10mm is the maximum length for most embroidery machines. Your design will stitch fine in that area and then begin to skip stitches and tie off after each skipped stitch.
- Many people see a “trough” in wide lines of satin. You make these when you choose the “split stitch” option while digitizing. This stitch may seem big on the screen but smaller in real life.
- For clothing, never use a satin stitch larger than 7 mm. Anything larger will cause snags if you rub it against anything rough (like brick).
- Try not to create satin lines or objects less than 2mm wide, as these will stitch on top of each other.
- When digitizing foam, do not use the “Auto Split” option. It causes the machine to stitch up to 10mm to create satiny fills (remember to check your density).

## Fill Stitch
### What is the fill stitch?
Ahhh.. the tatami Stitch! The beautiful universal fill. This stitch is just a running stitch that alternates like bricks to create the fill.
### What is the fill stitch used for in embroidery?
The Tatami stitch fits in many shapes, making it the most versatile of fills. You can use it to fill or create knockdown or underlay stitches.
### How to use the fill stitch
- The key to tatami is this…. *Always use this to fill larger objects and never small spots or lines.* The brick pattern requires additional stitches at the object’s edges to change direction. This resembles a swimmer slowing down and flipping over in a swim meet.
- It does poorly on lines, and you will end up with too many stitches.
- It can drastically increase your stitch count, but you can adjust its length and density.
- Texture and Stamping. The amazing thing about Tatami is that you can create amazing textural patterns.
## Selecting The Right Embroidery Stitch For Your Project
We’ve reached the most difficult part of our discussion on stitches…
How do you choose what to use?
> *Try different combinations to see how the appearance of your software may differ from what you have stitched. Always do a stitch out!*
>
> Author Name
>
> [Tweet](/)
Here are some suggestions to keep in mind.
- Lettering: satin stitch up to 7 mm wide
- Accent lines: running stitch or triple running stitch (often called bean stitch)
- Letter or object outlines (smaller): running, triple, or satin stitch
- Patch or borders: satin stitch
- Fill: tatami or, in smaller cases satin
- Puffy foam: stain with the “auto split” turned off
We suggest you play around with the fill texture and also change the ***direction*** of your stitching. Doing this can create beautiful 3D effects, especially with a satin stitch.
> *Remember, you can also layer and blend your stitches with long and short stitches for a different look! Think of your stitches as paints and use them for highlights and low lights.*

## Conclusion: Experiment With Different Embroidery Stitches
Using the right stitch can allow you to create depth, patterns and produce works of art. Not all stitches are suitable for everything, but once you grasp the fundamentals, you’ll comprehend the pros and cons of each. Keep in mind that your design might look good on your screen. However, you won’t be able to determine the outcome until you try it out.

### [Color Blending in Embroidery Digitizing](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-digitizing-color-blending/)
**Published:** August 11, 2025
**Author:** John Deer
**Content:**
When it comes to bringing embroidery designs to life and creating designs that draw the eye, blending thread colors is one of the most impressive tools in a digitizer’s toolbelt. Over the last couple of years, we’ve had many customers ask the secrets to achieve this advanced technique, and we’re going to guide you in the right direction to learn how.
It seems over the last decade, corporate logos have become more and more graphically intense. Corporate logos are created to promote the visual appearance of printed matter and signage. Our problem begins with the fact that when you’re dealing with needle and thread compared to all other graphics-related industries, we need to deal with limitations that don’t apply to anybody else. You can put as much ink as you want on a piece of paper, but you can’t say the same for stitches on clothing.
Logos have especially become more graphically intense with the use of color blending and variegation. When dealing with large oversized designs, the success of interpreting this technique is much easier to deal with; the tricky part starts when we are asked to use these applications on designs that are smaller or need to be placed on the front of a baseball cap.
## Color Blending Levels in Machine Embroidery
Blending and variegation can be broken down into many different levels depending not only on the artwork but also on the applications and the software functions you may or may not have.
### Manual Blending in Digitizing
The first of these would be the technique of manual blending. This is the use of placing manual stitches randomly to replicate your artwork. This is notably more time-consuming, and it helps if you have a bit of an artistic flair.
Blending is typically used in conjunction with regular fill stitches of different colors, using first a regular fill density for your base color and a looser density running on top of the first in the same direction. Ensuring that all your stitches run in the same direction is the main thing to look for; the fills will sink into each other, giving a softer blending of both colors. This technique can be used very quickly to give the illusion of depth and light reflection while using the regular fill tools available on all systems.
You can also take it a step further by increasing and decreasing the density values while using the same colors in your design. For example, this was the case while digitizing this flower design.
### Color Blending within Digitizing Software
Achieving a realistic variegated effect can be as easy as clicking a button if these functions are available in your software. Within some systems, you can purchase these functions independently or upgrade to a level that does provide this utility. If I were to choose to purchase any of the “bells and whistles” available within some of the higher levels of today’s software, this one would probably be one of the most practical.
Here are some examples of some common variegated effects that are created at the click of a button.
### How to Replicate Color Blending in Digitizing
There are always ways to cheat the system, so don’t fear if you don’t have the variegated effects tools within your software. It is very easy to replicate this function by using your drawing tools and running stitches.
The first thing you need to do is digitize your base color with a standard value fill. Then digitize your second color using the same values to the point that the two colors meet. This is where your drawing tools come in; if your fill density value is at, say, .35mm, you’ll need to start your variegation at about .45mm and span to about 2.00 mm.
Depending on the area that needs to be variegated, you will draw your lines fanning out between the two density values.
After your lines have been drawn, use your running stitch tool and set your stitch length to the same length as your fill stitch. Then follow the path of your drawn lines.
> As always with embroidery, color selection is everything; when blending groups of colors as in the “Fit to Stitch” design, they are all spectrally friendly. Especially when doing variegation on lettering, choosing color groups that flow together will be what sells the design. If you use colors that clash with each other, the blending effect can be lost.

### Problems with Color Blending in Machine Embroidery
The biggest problem we’ve encountered with trying to achieve variegation and blending on smaller left chest and hat designs is making these areas look as clean as possible.
If you’ve already digitized small areas with these effects, you might have noticed that it always ends up having an unfinished and jagged look to it no matter how hard you try. (Shown in the image above).
If you’re blending multiple colors on top of each other, the change of densities as they are applied can easily make what is supposed to be a straight or curved line lose its shape and appear jagged.
Our solution to this problem has proven itself successful in rectifying both these situations. We will add a column stitch around the outside of the object, in the same color as the fabric it’s being applied to (demonstrated in the image above). This gives you a place to hide those rough-looking stitches and keeps the desired shape intact no matter how busy things get. So that perfect circle that the customer was expecting won’t end up looking like an egg!
> If you’re digitizing professionally, a good policy, whenever a noticeable change is made to your customers’ artwork, I wouldn’t just spring this little solution on your customer without first giving them a call and properly explaining the end results.

## How to Successfully Color Blend when Digitizing
What sets one digitizer apart from the rest is their ability to map a design to its completion while always keeping in mind its run ability in production. Someone can digitize the most beautiful design in the world, but if it doesn’t run well then, it’s worthless.
This “Empire Theatres” logo is an example that encases both variegation and blending. But also has a lot of elements that look difficult if you’re trying to path a design properly, keep registration of the colors intact, or not distort the shape of the oval. Here is a point-by-point rundown of the sequence of colors digitized.
1. Gold fill for film digitized vertically.
2. White and Blue variegation digitized traveling without any jumps.
3. Purple film tracks digitized, walking into fill direction to avoid jumps.
4. Royal Blue oval digitized horizontally.
5. Purple blending to show the reflection of light and column around oval.
6. White highlight and thin columns around film.
The sample is the result of the first sew-off, and no further editing was required. With proper mapping and thinking of creative ways to hide those messy stitches, the proper use of blending and variegation will set you apart from your competition.

Have you ever found baby car seat covers to be too expensive, while also not finding exactly what you’re looking for? If so, you’re not alone…
Instead of dumping money into something you don’t like that much anyway, why not create one you’ll like yourself? In this article, we’ll show you how to create and personalize them while on a budget.
## Why create & embroider a customized baby car seat cover
Buying baby items is always so expensive, stores know baby items are essential, so they often upcharge their prices. When creating and embroidering this baby car seat cover, it will only cost a fraction of the price of a store-bought item. You will be able to customize the car seat cover with the baby’s name or nursery theme to give it more of a personalized feel.
> *Now keep in mind, you don’t have to use this* [***cute elephant design***](https://embroiderylegacy.com/product/embroidery-design-elephant-snoozing/) *that we’re showing throughout this tutorial for your car seat cover.

Creating a baby car seat cover can be necessary during the colder winter months as it can be suggested not to put your baby into their car seat in a snowsuit. As they will not have as much insulation, this can help keep warmth inside for your baby to retain heat. A car seat cover can also help block the sun, wind, and snow when out for a walk or to transport them from inside to your car. Throughout this pandemic, the cover can also help guard your baby as a shield from any coughs, sneezing, or mouth secretions that can occur from people around you.
This baby car seat cover is multi-purposeful. It shields your baby from outside temperatures and people, and can also be used as a blanket if you forget yours or dirty the one you have. You can also lay the car seat cover down if you didn’t bring a changing pad to protect your baby from any dirty surfaces, or use it as a nursing cover to shield your baby if you feel the need to do so.
Since you’re able to personalize your baby car seat cover, you manage the thread color, stabilizer, and fabric, which means you can choose the best fit for your cover. Whether you choose a thicker material to ensure a warmer temperature or choose an easier fabric that is easier to continue washing, there are plenty of choices.

If you’re a contract digitizer, you may deal with many different customers in different embroidery sectors. With such a broad range of clients, do you ever feel like you’re always under a microscope and never know whether your reward for a design will be praised or criticized?
You might as well be psychic as you have to constantly adjust yourself to the type of customer you’re currently doing the job for. Some want quality, rich in appearance, and on the higher end of the density scale, while others are only price conscious because that’s how they operate their business. Then you can get either end of the scale getting overly cutthroat because many companies may be bidding for the same job.
The best way to keep a happy customer is to get to know their specific needs. This can get confusing when your customer base grows into the hundreds, so start documenting or categorizing your customers right at the beginning. I’ll leave it to your discretion as to what names you wish to give them.
At the beginning stages of getting to know your customer, let them know that “special requests” must be addressed when the order is placed. If they do not identify the “special request,” then be sure to charge them for any edits that need to be done after the fact; time is money, after all! “Special request” can fall into many categories; terrycloth, polar fleece, foam embroidery, leather, and the list goes on.
## How To Lower Embroidery Design Stitch Count With Digitizing
There are many ways to cut down the stitch count of a design depending on the customer’s flexibility of graphic options, stitch types, densities, application, and how much they are willing to bend to achieve their objective.
We have all had that customer who gives you a design that, if you digitize it properly, would have 10,000 stitches. However, they are insistent that it only has 5,000 stitches. You see, that’s all they’ve budgeted for, but they still want top-notch quality! Sound familiar? In that situation, I’ll tell the customer, “Let me digitize it properly so you know how it should look, then I’ll give you a second file processed by the software at your desired stitch count. When your customer says it looks like crap, use the first file I sent you.” The point is we need to be realistic!
If you take away too many stitches, it will inevitably affect the appearance of your design. Here are a few suggestions that can help keep the stitch count down in those awkward situations.
### Reduce Embroidery Design Stitch Count By Edit Digitizing
Our first option is to play with underlay and running stitches’ stitch lengths and values. You can then adjust the density values of column stitches and densities and stitch lengths of fill areas. The trick is to play with values enough to make a difference in the stitch count without dramatically affecting the visual integrity of the design.
> *Interested in learning more about underlay, density, and other terms that sound like gibberish? These terms are very important for knowing how to digitize properly. Luckily, we’re here to help! Let us help teach you the theory, which is a key piece of embroidery education to create your own stunning designs!

Here is a before and after example of how this can affect the stitch count without drastically affecting the design’s run ability and visual appeal.

If you are a contract embroiderer with 200 pieces to embroider, it equates to over 781400 stitches of saved running time. Well worth spending 15 minutes editing and a couple of sew-outs!
You can further reduce the stitch counts in some situations by converting some of your fill-stitched objects into satin stitches. Sometimes this can be a little misleading because if the stitch length of the column is too long, the machine’s speed will automatically slow down, and you won’t really save much time at the production level.
### Reduce Embroidery Design Stitch Count By Editing Artwork
Secondly, you can work on altering the customer’s artwork somewhat to try and meet the desired stitch count. However, these changes usually affect the quality of what one might consider good embroidery.
Some of these changes might include not putting borders around fill areas, using walking stitches instead of column borders around objects, and simplifying or deleting details of the customers’ art. These changes don’t usually go over as well, so get any changes approved and in writing. The above is one of those you get what you pay for.
### Reduce Embroidery Design Stitch Count By Adding Applique
This suggestion directly involves production more than it does the digitizer. Usually, you get an immediate cold response when you’re on the floor and bring up the word appliqué. And rightly so, the traditional appliqué process has a lot of cutting out, lining up, and excessive downtime on the machine.
Being lucky enough to have run production and be a digitizer at the same time, I was able to play around with using unorthodox appliqué methods when I felt I could get away with it.
What we did was pretty simple; we would use certain materials (colored plastics, tear-away pelons) as a base on which we would digitize and stitch a very loose fill.

This isn’t a difficult process and can be executed quickly at the production level. There are a few criteria in determining whether the job in question is a good candidate for this technique; is there a large enough filled area to make it worthwhile? Does the quantity of the order merit the specific programming, and are the goods being embroidered friendly for the type of application given the appliqué materials being used?
We used this technique often on goods that you wouldn’t be washed after every use, such as jackets and caps. If you spend the time and source the appropriate materials, it can also be successful with your washable items. It’s just a matter of taking the time to experiment.
## Conclusion: Lower Your Embroidery Stitch Count With These Techniques
If you need to reduce your design stitch count, be sure to use one of our suggestions below to ensure your embroidery design is still of great quality!
- Edit your digitizing by adjusting underlay, density, and other essential theories
- Edit the artwork (such as removing borders, and using simpler stitches)
- Add applique and use a very loose fill
Let us know which technique you’ve tried; happy stitching!

Switching between the brush or pencils and the machine, painting your embroidery is a great process that allows you to have fun with fabric pencils or paints. It will also reduce your stitch count while enabling you to give your embroidery a more realistic look and feel. If that isn’t enough, who didn’t love arts & crafts time in school?
> *Make your own [**DIY fabric paint**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6C8zYsL3vg&t) for fast, affordable, and machine-wash-friendly embroidery! Or, check out our recommended [**Inktense pencils**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-equipment-products/) that are perfect for fabric.*

## 3: ITH Embroidery Projects (In-the-hoop)
ITH (in-the-hoop) projects are a fantastic way to have fun, get creative, and make some awesome projects from scratch. You may be asking yourself, “aren’t all embroidery designs done in the hoop?” yes, you’re correct.
When embroidering a traditional embroidery design, it is only that design that is embroidered onto the material.
However, an in-the-hoop project creates a finished 3D object/item all within the embroidery machine.
For example, when creating an ITH Christmas ornament, you wouldn’t embroider a design onto an ornament; you would make the ornament entirely on the machine!
There are many different in-the-hoop projects to choose from. These can include wine coasters, sleeping masks, bookmarks, purses, bags, Christmas stockings, ornaments, key fobs, and customizable gifts (to name a few)!
> *Want fun 3D embroidery projects that demand attention? Check out our 450+ **[in-the-hoop embroidery projects](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-designs/in-the-hoop/)** to create your next embroidery project to leave your friends and family in awe.*

Completing our ITH projects couldn’t be easier! We supply you with tutorial videos or instructional PDFs. This makes the creation process simple with a step-by-step guide. In-the-hoop projects are easy to try new embroidery techniques and create designs you’d never think possible with your embroidery machine.
> *Create your own in-the-hoop embroidery project with our [**free in-the-hoop embroidery sunflower coaster**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/in-the-hoop-embroidery-project-flower-coaster/). Experience the difference quality digitizing makes and have fun!*

Mylar sheets are a shiny plastic film used for many things, not only embroidery. Remember, when purchasing them for embroidery, you want to purchase the thin sheets, which can often be found in the wrapping paper aisle of craft stores, or check our recommended product of [**magic sparkle sheets**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-equipment-products/).
*Please note: Do not use mylar balloons with your embroidery. The material in the balloons is far too thick, and it will give different results and could ruin your embroidery machine.*
An incredible benefit of using mylar is that, in terms of color, it has a one size fits all approach. You don’t have to buy separate colors of mylar. Instead, mylar picks up and reflects whatever color of thread you use! This means that after initially tacking the mylar down with stitches, you can let your machine run normally without adding multiple pieces of materials.

### [How To Embroider Continuous Freestanding Lace](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-embroider-continuous-freestanding-lace/)
**Published:** August 11, 2025
**Author:** Jesse Deer
**Content:**
Have you ever purchased a gorgeous lace embroidery design and wondered how in the world you’re going to put it on a sample continuously?
If so, you’re not alone. Making a garment with continuous lace looks like it can be challenging, and some may feel intimidated by the idea.
But let me tell you, it’s actually quite easy once you get the hang of it. Plus, the end result will leave you feeling both excited and proud! Imagine embroidering the perfect lace lining on your table runner, or putting a stunning lace border on the bottom of your favorite shirt. We all want to make that perfect sample, not just something someone sees and says, “thats nice” but something that makes others say, “wow, you really made that?”. Embroidered continuous lace can be gorgeous if you know how..
## What to Embroider Freestanding Continuous Lace On
If you have a love for lace anything like I do, then you know lace can pretty much be put on anything. Whether it’s clothing, towels, table cloths, or really anything else, adding lace onto a garment always adds a touch of elegance and that extra ‘wow’ factor. I’m sure you’ve seen those beautiful lace headpieces or wedding dresses with gorgeous lace necklines. Haven’t you ever wondered how in the world those embroidered lace designs seamlessly run together? Well, get ready to learn!
## Important: Lace Embroidery Musts
Before we get into how to repeat our lace designs, we need to talk about embroidered lace itself, thread, and stabilizer. If you’ve never embroidered freestanding lace before, [click here](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-tutorial-free-standing-lace/) for a full tutorial on how to properly embroider freestanding lace plus some special tips & tricks.
### Lace Designs
It makes a huge difference what machine embroidery designs you use. There are so many different designs out there, and if you choose a design that was not digitized professionally to begin with, it can ruin your garments or décor! You want to embroider lace designs that run smoothly, don’t pucker, and once stitched out, look like they were made for your garment. Not added on afterwards.
Now, I may be a bit biased, but I strongly believe that Embroidery Legacy’s lace designs are some of the best embroidery designs in the market. I’m biased for good reason though! Our lace designs are true vintage as they were created in the 1950s by my great-grandparents for the wedding industry. Each design was manually crafted one stitch at a time by European Schiffli Masters and later converted to run on your modern-day embroidery machine. Who else can say that?! They are definitely one of a kind, and if I do say so myself, they run perfect and are stunning once sewn out. You can find these[ **vintage freestanding lace designs** by clicking here](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-designs/free-standing-lace/).
### Lace Thread
Another key factor to sewing out the perfect lace border is the embroidery thread you choose to use. We highly suggest using rayon thread for freestanding lace as it is soft and more suitable for intricate work. You can learn more about different threads and when to use them by [clicking here](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-threads/).
### Freestanding Lace Stabilizer
You always need to make sure you have the proper stabilizer when stitching out freestanding lace. You do not want something that will still be seen after sewing out your lace; you want something that will come off easily and not hinder your stitching. To still allow your lace to be soft to the touch and flexible, we suggest using dissolve away mesh. It’s so easy to get rid of you simply put it in water, and it disappears! To learn more about stabilizer and when to use them[ click here](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-for-beginners/).
## Step-by-Step Instructions for Sewing Freestanding Continuous Lace
After selecting your lace design, choosing the right thread and stabilizer, and determining the garment you’re going to spruce up, it’s time to put them together!
Making a continuous lace border is easier than you think using these simple steps.
### How to embroider continuous lace and attach to your garment
**Step 1:** Using your [**embroidery software**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-software/digitizing/), combine your lace units (depending on your project, combine as many as you need or as many will fill your hoop). When you combine them, be sure to copy and paste the design, make sure when you move the new pieces, you align them with the tick marks.
**Step 2:** Embroider your design using Rayon thread on dissolve away mesh stabilizer.
**Step 3:** Run as many single designs or combined designs as necessary to complete your project.
**Step 4:** Leaving your lace design on the stabilizer, trim with scissors close to design.
**Step 5:** Place tick marks for alignment where you are going to attach your other design. Attach pieces together using a small zigzag stitch (2.5 width and 1.0 length)
**Step 6:** Leave your stabilizer on and attach the lace to your fabric using the same small zigzag stitch by following the shape of the design.
**Step 7:** After attaching the lace, rinse it in hot water to remove the stabilizer.
### How to embroider continuous lace directly to your garment
**Step 1:** Stitch your lace directly to your fabric using your editing software. Combine as many units as you need for your project or to fill the hoop. To combine copy and paste the design, move the new pieces to align with the tick marks.
**Step 2:** Print a template from your editing software showing the design, xy axis, and hoop. Use dissolve away mesh stabilizer in your hoop.
**Step 3:** Pin your template to the fabric where you want it to stitch.
**Step 4:** Find the center of the design using the XY axis from the template and the center placement on your machine.
**Step 5:** Being to stitch your design.
**Step 6:** After your design is finished stitching, remove it from the hoop but do not remove the stabilizer from the design.
**Step 7:** Again, hoop dissolve away mesh stabilizer in your hoop. Pin the next template to your fabric, aligning it with the tick marks. Use adhesive spray to lightly spray the fabric and attach the hooped stabilizer. Finish stitching the remainder of the design.
**Step 8:** Once the design is completed, remove the stabilizer by rinsing it in hot water.
Now that you know the essentials for stitching out lace designs and also how to sew continuous lace onto garments properly, it’s your turn to try it out!

From the top, it looks fine, but when you try to remove the hoop from the machine, it’s stuck. When you try to look underneath, all you see is a complex web of threads holding it together. What *is* this, how did it get there, and *how* can you prevent this?
Birds’ nests are cozy homes for birds, but they don’t evoke the same warm feelings in [**machine embroidery**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-designs/). After frustration, destroyed garments, and a loss of time, the word “bird nests” in embroidery is like saying a bad word!
## **What are Embroidery Bird Nests & Why Do They Happen?**
A bird’s nest is bunching up of thread on the underside of the stitching. From above, it appears good, but it gets stuck in the bobbin hook and eventually halts your machine.
An imbalance of thread tension usually causes this issue if the bobbin or upper thread is not threaded correctly.
Let’s discuss further the different causes of embroidery birdsnests. Bird nesting occurs when: 1. The top thread was threaded with the presser foot down, all the tension discs are locked, and your thread cannot get between the discs.
2. You bypassed the take-up lever on the home machine, now allowing the thread to be drawn through the tension discs.
3. If you do not secure or insert the bobbin thread correctly, it will spin freely, creating a tangled mess (a bobbin bird nest).
4. If your bobbin is backward, be sure to check your manual. Putting it backward can allow it to have too little tension.
5. Dirty or poorly [**maintained embroidery machines**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-do-embroidery-machine-maintenance/). Keep your machine and bobbin case free and clean of dirt and grime.
6. Burrs on needle plate which can catch a thread.
7. The orientation of the [**embroidery needle**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-use-machine-embroidery-needles/) is wrong; remember that needles have a front and a back.
8. Bobbin tension needs adjustment (*always* consult your manual before changing bobbin tension). A properly adjusted tension may mean you *never* adjust the top tension knobs. You can adjust the bobbin case tension one-quarter turn at a time, but that should be a last resort. Most malfunctions like this happen because of bad maintenance or a design that doesn’t let the thread fix itself.
9. Flagging occurs when a commercial frame bounces or the garment pulls on the hoop on any machine. The material can experience extreme flagging if you loosely hoop your items. I prefer securely hooped items over floating ones on a hoop because hooped items always have better quality.
> *I’ve encountered some significant issues with stuck, tangled threads that wouldn’t come off the embroidery machine. Sometimes, the garment can “pop” out of the hoop, causing the fabric to tear and potentially ruining the clothing. (This is why proper hooping is important; you never want your garment hooped too loosely.)*

Commercial or tubular machines may experience more mechanical issues, as incorrect rotary hook timing or needle bar height can increase bird nesting problems.
So, we need to answer two questions:
## **How Do You Prevent Birdnesting Embroidery?**
This sounds so easy, but it can be easy to forget. - Keep your machine clean, and remove stray threads.
- Because it’s easy to get distracted, you should take time when loading bobbins and prevent incorrect threading. Make sure the presser foot is up to disengage the tension discs.
- Always visually check your thread path; trace with your fingers.
- Use good quality thread and needles.
Preventing bird nests comes from prevention, which is pure and simple. When you start using your embroidery machine, pay attention. Take your time threading it and inserting the bobbins. If the machine is new, make sure to read the manual.
## **How Do I Fix Thread Nesting On My Embroidery Machine?**
If the item hasn’t torn the fabric or made a hole, you can probably fix it carefully and with the right tools. But don’t start “manhandling” the situation by pulling on the hoop aggressively.
Gently create space between the bobbin plate and the hoop, and then use your “tools” to do the rest of the job.
If you can get the hoop off without disrupting the garment, you’re back in business quickly! - Don’t pull or tug (you can tear fabric or existing embroidery)
- Don’t start cutting without knowing what is happening underneath
- Don’t unhoop if you don’t have to
Two ways exist to clear bird nests. 1. Cut embroidery threads and remove the hoop.
2. Slowly pick out tightly packed threads from the needle plate.
There are “bird’s nest toolkits” to easily cut away threads. Keep your knife below the hook to cut against the hook, not the fabric. Remember that cutting the fabric damages the garment.
> *DIY note: use a cheap metal fork to flatten the prongs with a hammer. This will help you slide it under the fabric and over the needle plate to cut the threads more safely. Beware of scratching the needle plate.*

Cut threads singularly and leave the garment hooped to continue stitching if possible.
After the embroidery process, you may discover the nest on the needle plate. However, extracting the bobbin or bobbin case could be challenging. Pick out the threads one by one until you can reduce the nest enough to remove it. After you have cleared it, check the needle plate and/or bobbin case for damage and replace it.
On to the garment!
You have two choices… 1. Cut loops on the back and pull the remaining threads from the top to **remove stitching**. You must restitch this or think of another way to cover the damage.
2. **Trim the nest** so that only short (1 cm/.25 in) tails remain, and secure with an iron-on stabilizer. Although the threads may not stay put when washed, you can save them for items you don’t use often.
## **Conclusion: Thread Nests Aren’t The End Of Your Embroidery**
Bird nests are unfortunate occurrences, but luckily, they are not the end of your embroidery project! Keeping your machine clean and threading correctly reduces the chance of a nest popping up (or down) in your stitching. If a nest should happen, try the different ways we’ve discussed to salvage your garment.

### [Redwork Embroidery Machine Designs & History, Then & Now](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-redwork-embroidery/)
**Published:** August 11, 2025
**Author:** Embroidery Legacy
**Content:**
Have you ever wondered where redwork stems from? What is the history of redwork, and why is it so commonly used in embroidery and quilting today?
Ahhh… History… the subject many of us dreaded in school only to wish we would have listened more to understand our modern world. I struggled with machine embroidery when it was first suggested I supplement my traditional Cornely Embroidery with a used Tajima Machine. Oh heavens, no! Not me! I will not succumb to the modern age.
But the modern age is where I live, and I finally decided to make the best of it and beat modernity at its own game. I would figure out how to drag modernity back with me into the past.
This article will cover:
- [**History of redwork embroidery**](#)
- [**Redwork embroidery technique**](#)
- [**Redwork embroidery patterns today**](#)
- [**Redwork machine embroidery designs** ](#)
> *If you’re unfamiliar with redwork embroidery, a redwork design has exactly two passes of thread within every outline. Because of this, the start and stop point of a redwork design is in the same place. Redwork designs are a favorite with quilters and generally have low stitch counts which means less run time on your machine.*

A recent discussion in one of Embroidery Legacys Facebook groups, **[Machine Embroidery & Digitizing Made Easy](https://www.facebook.com/groups/EmbroideryLegacy)**, asked what redwork was and how it differed from branching. The mention of redwork brought to mind jumble sales and days spent doing the “yearly washing” of linens with my mother-in-law using an old Maytag wringer washer. I always thought those designs silly and crude, but I found they are part of a rich tradition of handiwork upon further research.
The story of redwork reaches all parts of the globe and includes espionage, sales schemes, and beautiful imaginations. If you look beyond the flowers of the month or birds for different seasons, you will find a tradition of love and skill.
Let’s explore this one form of embroidery we all use and love. Let’s bring a little history forward in our modern way.
## History of Redwork Embroidery
Redwork embroidery is a type of embroidery that became popular during the Victorian era. Back then, it was done only by hand. It was a series of outline stitches that were easy to achieve and had a very graphic quality due to only one thread color. Outline stitching was easy to do and much faster than the labor-intensive fill stitches such as satin. It required less skill and was easily done by children. A bonus was that the amount of thread required to complete a design was much less, which opened it up to a wider audience.
### The redwork embroidery aesthetic movement
In our modern times of COVID, we turn to things beautiful and soothing, which was no different for Victorians and earlier. They surrounded themselves with beautiful things and took delight in creating all manner of goods to be used and enjoyed from the moment they rose until they lay down to sleep.
The Aesthetic movement was an art movement that featured an emphasis on aesthetic value. Therefore, a dishtowel beautifully embroidered had greater value, say, than a shovel or a pair of shoes. These items did not even need to be useful. They had merit in *just* being beautiful- art for art’s sake.
This meant that everyone could take part. If you thought the apron you created was beautiful, then it had as much value in the world as an art masterpiece. In fact, it was an art masterpiece.
Out of this overall movement sprung **the Arts and Crafts Movement**. It was a decorative arts trend that started in Great Britain and spread to the Americas and beyond. Famous Artists in the Arts and Crafts movement included William Morris, who produced gorgeous Textiles, wallpaper, and more.
In Britain, the Arts and crafts movement was a sort of rebellion against the Industrial Revolution. The focus of this production was brought back to the skillful creation of goods. Where machines had robbed the beauty of art and sacrificed quality for speed, the Arts and Crafts movement brought production full circle to artisans and handmade goods.
What does this mean, then, for you and me? It is a historical precedent that urges us to return to handwork and delight in the goods we can make for ourselves.
### The history of redwork quilts
All of us have seen crazy quilts, right? Little scraps of velvet, cotton, silk, and more. Tons of gorgeous stitching and complicated stitched edgings around each piece. Where crazy quilts were the product of homemakers in the 1880s and beyond, the popularity of World and Regional Expositions opened up the world of embroidery for those who could not travel to Japan or Britain, or the Americas.
Crazy quilting after the Philadelphia Centennial Exposition in 1876 became popular with upper-class women and later with women in rural areas. Crazy quilts used small scraps of fabric for their construction. Different colors, textures, and patterns are made for individualized quilts. For rural homemakers in the US and abroad, silks and velvets were not in abundance, but plain cotton was.
Cotton and linen fabric were perfect for the showy and cheerful redwork. Bought in 6×6 and 10×10 inch squares pre-stamped along with a skein of floss for a penny, redwork quilts were reachable for everyone. Pillow shams, aprons, towels, and bath sets were adorned with redwork, and many of these included messages, verses, and bible passages. If it was made of cotton or linen fabric, it could be worked in Turkey Red!
### Redwork embroidery Turkey Red thread
Turkey Red thread (though you might have visions of a great puffed-up bird) comes from Turkey, the country in the East. To this day, Turkey is a huge player in the textile, rug, and yarn markets.
Though the thread was imported from Turkey, Gosta Sandberg attributes the dye technique is from Eastern India. Dyes in the Victorian era (and earlier) were problematic. To make a dye colorfast harsh, chemicals were needed, and, in most cases, the thread was not colorfast and bled into the nearby fabric during washing.
According to Susan Brown in a post on Cooper Hewitt, The story of Turkey Red is a colorful tale of industrial espionage and theft. It was a brilliant scarlet dye for cotton. The color’s actual name is Adrianople red (Indian red), and it was used in the Mediterranean and unknown to Europe before 1800.
Not wanting to be behind, Textile companies in France and England sent spies to Turkey to discover the secret technique. They truly were not ready for the process; it was labor-intensive and used lye, oil, animal excrement, and oxblood (though this was later found not to be needed).
Additionally, the process was harsh, and not all fabrics and fibers survived the process! Armed with that information, the firms in Europe began research on how to produce the dye safely and quickly. Ultimately the compound Alizarin was produced, making Turkey Red the first synthetically created dye in 1869.
It sounds confusing, but everyone did not use Turkey red threads for redwork embroidery. Bluework, Greenwork, and Purplework were also popular but were all called redwork. Often they were referred to as “Purple Redwork”.
One difference is black thread. When using black threads, the work was not called Blackwork but rather Redwork in Black. Blackwork is a very specific type of hand embroidery that made use of intricate fills and patterns.
By the 1930s, a rainbow of pastel colors appeared on kitchen dishtowels, hot mitts, aprons, baby quilts, and more.
### Iron on transfers
Anyone who has happened upon a garage sale, church rummage sale, auction, or had relatives drop boxes of magazines on the doorstep of unsuspecting “relatives who do needlework” knows Aunt Martha!
Likewise, the Workbasket magazine, a staple in the early 1930s, offered supplements to their needlework magazine of redwork patterns that could be ironed on. Aunt Martha transfers were produced by The Colonial Company and were often sweet and charming flowers or comical figures for the days of the week. They were serialized and had a theme for each offering. They could be used multiple times, but the newsprint they were printed on stressed under use.
Workbasket Magazine was published by Modern Handcrafts of Kansas City, MO. Like Aunt Martha, their patterns came on a sheet printed in red ink, but unlike her, Workbasket had large sheets (21×30) with an assortment of unrelated motifs.
### Redwork business for stay-at-home women
**Penny squares** sold with pre-stamped designs on muslin were popular with consumers, but innovative homemakers drew their own designs and transferred them to fabric by pouncing.
Pouncing is the process of punching a line of small holes in paper and, after laying it on fabric, dusting or rubbing the paper’s surface with a pounce which was a small bag filled with chalk or other pigments. This marking left a very faint mark, but many women drew their own designs directly on the cloth.
**Patterns** could also be bought in subscriptions, and premiums could be earned for those enterprising ladies who referred friends to subscribe. The historic magazine Needlecraft: The Magazine of Home Arts, for example, printed a one-page advertisement showing one hundred redwork transfers in exchange for two journal subscriptions. Sunbonnet Sue, a popular quilt design, sprung out of this scheme and is still used on quilts today.
## Redwork Embroidery Technique
So enough with the history lesson! How do we actually do redwork? Because of its simplicity, redwork is an excellent starting place for new needleworkers and young needle artists. Five types of stitches are easy to learn, and you simply follow the lines of the printed pattern.
1.The **running stitch** dips up and down into the fabric, creating a line similar to quilting. The goal is to have evenly spaced stitches to display skill.
2\. The **Backstitch** is a series of even stitches usually worked right to left in which comes up ahead of the last stitch and then returns through the hole of the previous stitch.
3\. The **Stem Stitch** is worked from left to right. Again, taking even stitches, these nestle against each other to produce a solid line. The thread is held below the needle.
4\. The **Outline Stitch** is the same as the stem stitch, but the thread is held above the needle.
5\. The **Kensington Stitch** is what my mom would call the split stitch. Since floss comes in 6 strands, you can use it in 2, 4, or 6; the floss is split, creating small hearts or “needle eyes.” This stitch was the hardest to master as I had to count out the strands, but it gets easier.
## Redwork Embroidery Patterns Today
While I am more of a “history gal,” I realize that embroidery has to take advantage of increased popularity and a greater audience due to the internet and people like [**John Deer and The Deer’s Embroidery Legacy**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/).
So what is a history gal to do with the changing times? Figure out how to pull modern machine embroidery techniques backward into the 1880s while they pull me forward into the 21st century.
There is no reason for modern and historical to be at odds, though; modern machines produce amazing results quickly. I can soothe myself by using old patterns and enjoy the benefits of using [**digitizing software**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-software/digitizing/).
But how do we go about this? Know what you like! Be willing to experiment and be open to new ideas. If you had asked me a year ago, I would not have even thought of using puffy foam, but now I have figured out how to use that to enhance “modified goldwork”. You can see as much as you want to see if you are willing to be broad-minded.
## Redwork machine embroidery designs
Like any embroidery technique, not all embroidery designs are created equal. When using designs on your embroidery machine, you want to ensure they’ll run smoothly and not ruin your garment.
We suggest always using embroidery designs that you know will give you great results. **[Embroidery Legacy](https://embroiderylegacy.com/)** is sure to always give you the best results possible as our redwork designs are of great quality and personally digitized by the world’s most awarded digitizer, John Deer.

### Digitizing custom redwork machine embroidery designs
Some embroidery software have a redwork setting designed to give exactly two passes to create the even stitching of traditional redwork. Honestly, it is compelling, and it offers the ability, with practice, to digitize hand lettering and reproduce the design.
Sound too good to be true? It isn’t, but it does require you to be a bit of a detective. Redwork needs to be skillfully pathed so that the lines flow from one to another.
*Redwork image on left is created using “Redwork” tool; notice here there is one trim
Redwork image on right is created using basic running stitch; notice many trims on the design*
> *Interested in trying to create your own redwork embroidery designs? Try a demo of the [**Design Doodler**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-software/design-doodler/) to create your own redwork embroidery design and see how easy it truly is.*

When looking at the pattern, you need to draw it out and decide before you jump in and start clicking. Figure out your flow and work from logical start to finish. You will need to line up your start and stop points (the green plus and the red diamond) to function as a bucket brigade handing the stitching from one person to the next.
Ideally, you would digitize the entire pattern as one pass with no trims, but if you cannot (say you are working on a quilt square with four repeated motifs), make sure the start and stop of each part of the motif flow.
## Conclusion: Redwork Was & Is A Valuable Embroidery Technique
### So why not give it a try?
My challenge to you is to create a redwork design of your own! You can do so with a free version of the [**Design Doodler**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-software/design-doodler/free-trial/). Do a series for towels, hot mitts, quilt squares, tea towels! Then, please share your results with us in our **[Machine Embroidery & Digitizing Made Easy](https://www.facebook.com/groups/EmbroideryLegacy)** Facebook group. Redwork patterns have a beautifully rich history, and they can be made your own.
Silhouettes of children or carefully digitized pictures of people are excellent, though challenging, topics. In the spirit of traditional redwork, use Turkey red, Blue, Purple, or Green and allow yourself to be creative with only one color.
Now if you’re looking to create Redwork but don’t want to have to digitize your own designs, don’t forget to [**check out Embroidery Legacy’s large collection of quality redwork embroidery designs**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-designs/redwork/) by **[clicking here](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-designs/redwork/)**.

### [Ready to Master Nodes in Embroidery for Better Results?](https://embroiderylegacy.com/nodes-in-machine-embroidery-digitizing/)
**Published:** August 11, 2025
**Author:** Embroidery Legacy
**Content:**
Nodes are the unsung heroes of digitizing, the building blocks that shape every line and curve. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just starting, understanding embroidery nodes is vital to unlocking your creative potential.
So, what exactly is a node? Simply put, it’s a control point that dictates the shape and flow of your lines. After mastering digitizing node adjustments, you’ll be able to create stunning and accurate designs.
In real terms, a node is like a bead on a wire. Just like Connect the Dots!
Now, imagine that using different types of beads changes how the wire comes out.
When you draw a line in the [**Design Doodler**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-software/design-doodler/) or any [**embroidery software**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-software/digitizing/), the nodes control the line’s shape. They determine how the line curves, moves, starts, and stops. Adjusting the shape of the nodes can help you refine and enhance your design.
Here is what a bunch of nodes look like in a Design Doodler design!
When we examine each one, it looks the same: a small square with a line of stitching running through it. When you select a node, red handles appear. Click and drag these handles to rotate the node or adjust the intensity of the effect on either side of it.
The further you pull the red handles apart, the larger the curve will be. The closer you push them together, the smaller the curve.
The number of nodes in a shape depends on its complexity. Simple shapes like squares and triangles have minimal nodes. Complex shapes like circles have more, and intricate shapes or hand-drawn lines can have hundreds.
## What Happens When I Change Node Types?
We can change nodes to get different effects. You can select, add, or delete nodes by:
- Selecting an object.
- Selecting the “Path Edit” tool.
- Select the Properties Docker to decide what happens to these nodes.
Let’s look at each type of node.
**Straight:** This is a straight line (point to point) on either side of the node.
**Smooth:** Smooth nodes create a smooth curve from one point to the next. They are similar to straight nodes, but straight nodes have no handles, while smooth nodes do.
**Symmetrical:** Symmetrical nodes create mirrored curves. Any changes you make to one side of the node will reflect on the other side.
**Cusp:** Cusp nodes create sharp, V-shaped corners, which can also be curved. Converting existing nodes to cusp nodes doesn’t change the appearance until you adjust the handles. These nodes act as anchor points, allowing you to create sharp, pointed curves.
How does changing nodes affect the line?
All these nodes are symmetrical, so each side mirrors the other. However, the curves may appear different depending on where a node is to the next node.
Here is the same doodle with all smooth:
And this one is all cusp:
The effect is very different in each one!
Experiment with switching up the nodes and mixing and matching different types. You’ll be amazed at the variety of lines you can create!
Where are we going with all this?
Can you design a Doodle using a mouse? Absolutely!
Let’s start with a square.
Let’s add a node in the middle of each flat side.
What happens if we were to move those nodes closer to the center?
Let’s change them to Cusp nodes and move the arms to create a different shape.
Experiment with the different nodes and see what you can create!
Let’s see what can happen with shapes.
The preset shapes offer endless design possibilities! Mix, match, and experiment to create your perfect shape.
[](https://embroiderylegacy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/nodeshape1.jpg)
What should you remember about nodes?
- **Nodes are the foundation.** Lines in Design Doodler and other embroidery softwares are created using points called nodes.
- **Node type and spacing matter.** The behavior of a line between two nodes is determined by the kind of nodes and their distance from each other.
- **Keep it clean.** Use as few nodes as possible to create smooth lines and maintain optimal program performance.

### [How to Digitize a Logo for Embroidery | Step-by-Step Guide](https://embroiderylegacy.com/how-to-digitize-a-logo-for-embroidery-step-by-step-guide/)
**Published:** January 19, 2026
**Author:** John Deer
**Content:**
If you’re new to embroidery, or an experienced hobbyist or small business owner looking to create your own logo designs, this guide is for you. Having created logo designs for dozens of Fortune 500 companies worldwide (including Coca-Cola, the NFL, and John Deere), I’m happy to teach you the ropes that have allowed me to win over 30 commercial awards for digitizing.

## What Is Logo Digitizing in Embroidery?
Logo digitizing is the process of using embroidery digitizing software to turn digital artwork into stitch-ready embroidery files.

## How to Digitize a Logo for Embroidery (Overview)
If you’re more of a visual learner, here’s a quick video I assembled to teach you how to easily digitize a logo:
This video demonstrates the same logo digitizing workflow outlined in the steps below.
Okay, let’s dive in! Here’s a simple workflow that saves time when digitizing a custom embroidery logo:
1. Import and size your logo artwork for the final placement.
2. Choose fabric settings and underlay based on the garment type.
3. Digitize the main logo shapes using appropriate stitch types.
4. Digitize logo text with proper stitch widths for clarity.
5. Test stitch the design and refine pathing, density, and trims.
The sections below walk through each step in more detail.
## Step 1 – Import and Size Your Logo Artwork
Start by importing your logo as backdrop artwork into your software. Often, logos arrive as digital files with excess white space. Sizing the design based on real embroidery dimensions, not the image canvas.
To make sizing easier, create a sizing box (example, 3″ × 3″) and scale the logo within it. Typical sizes include:
- **Left chest logos**: 2.5″– 4″ wide
- **Hats**: Often closer to 2″– 2.5″ tall
- **Sweaters or jackets**: Around 3″ tall, depending on placement
Before you finalize the size, consider the design’s complexity. Logos with fine details or small lettering may not work well in small placements, like a left chest logo. In those cases, simplifying the logo or creating a placement-specific version usually produces better results. Correct sizing at this stage prevents unnecessary rework later.

## Step 2 – Choose Fabric Settings
Fabric choice has a major impact on how a logo stitches out. Don’t worry — modern software makes this much easier. For example, Embroidery Legacy’s [**Embroidery Digitizing Software**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-software/digitizing/) includes built-in fabric recipes. With one click, you can apply consistent settings for wovens, knits, and caps.
For example:
- **Cotton polos**: Moderate underlay and pull compensation
- **PK knit or performance fabric**: More support and compensation
- **Caps**: Reduced pull compensation but strategic underlay
> Textile programs like [**NC State University’s Wilson College of Textiles**](https://textiles.ncsu.edu/zte/fiber-and-fabric-identification/) have extensively studied how fabric structure responds to tension, which is why choosing the right fabric settings is critical for clean embroidery results.

## Step 3 – Digitize the Main Logo Shapes
Every logo is different, which means there’s no single set of stitch instructions that works for every design. You choose how to digitize the main logo shapes depending on the artwork’s size, complexity, and the fabric you use.
Most logos use two main stitch types:
- [**Satin stitches**](https://embroiderylegacy.com/satin-stitch-embroidery-digitizing/) for bold elements
- **[Running stitches](https://embroiderylegacy.com/running-stitch-embroidery-digitizing/)** for travel paths and small details
As a rule of thumb, keep satin areas at least **1 mm** wide. This helps the design stitch cleanly and hold up across different fabrics.
Pay attention to stitch direction and connections between shapes. Clean pathing can reduce unnecessary trims and improve the overall stitch quality.
## Step 4 – Digitize Logo Text So It Stitches Cleanly
Text is often the hardest part of logo digitizing. Small lettering that looks fine on screen can easily break down when stitched. Sometimes, using a similar keyboard embroidery font already pre-loaded in your software produces a cleaner result than trying to perfectly digitize thin artwork text.
To avoid problems:
- Choose fonts that translate well to embroidery, not just ones that look identical to the artwork
- Check stitch width with a ruler tool—aim for **1–1.3 mm minimum**
- Avoid trimming between every letter by connecting text where possible
## Step 5 – Optimize Pathing, Trims, and Save Fabric Versions
Before finalizing the design, review the stitch sequence:
- Remove unnecessary trims
- Adjust start and stop points for smoother stitching
- Use smart joins or run connections where appropriate
Saving multiple versions of the same logo for different garments is a good practice, such as:
- Left chest on knit
- Structured caps
- Full back on denim
Each version may use different underlay, pathing, and compensation settings, but ensures consistent results across garments. The good news is that if you create your designs in your software’s native file format, resizing and editing them becomes much simpler.

## Bonus tip: Improving Logo Visibility with Borders & Backgrounds
Logos don’t contrast well with the garment they’re stitched on, such as dark logos on dark sweaters. Adding contrast can significantly improve stitch clarity and readability.
Common solutions include:
- Adding a border or outline around the logo
- Digitizing a background fill behind the design
- Using run stitches for ultra-thin accents that satin stitches can’t handle
When adding backgrounds, stitch order matters. In most cases, stitch the background fills first, then sew borders and text to avoid overlaps and unwanted gaps.
## DIY vs Hiring a Logo Embroidery Digitizing Service
Digitizing your own embroidery logo can take time, but the right guidance can make it easy. Once you understand the fundamentals and have the right software, you can digitize many logos in-house.
However, a logo embroidery digitizing service may be a better option when:
- The logo has extreme detail
- Tight deadlines are involved
- You’re producing high-volume commercial orders
If you’re digitizing your own company logo or just starting. DIY digitizing is a great skill to learn. It gives you complete control over your designs and unlimited creative freedom.

### FAQ: Logo Digitizing for Embroidery
How long does it take to digitize a logo?
The time it takes to digitize a logo depends on the design’s complexity and the digitizer’s experience. Simple logos may take under an hour, while detailed logos can take several hours.
How much does it cost to digitize a logo?
The cost to digitize a logo depends on the size, stitch count, and complexity of the design. Simple designs typically cost less, while detailed logos with small text or multiple thread colors require more time and expertise.
How small can logo text be for embroidery?
Most logo text should maintain at least a 1 mm stitch width to avoid breaks and poor coverage. That said, it’s relative to the size of the artwork. As a rule of thumb, the simpler the design, the smaller it can be.
Can I digitize a company logo myself?
Yes, with proper software and an understanding of stitch behavior, you can successfully digitize many logos.
Do all logos need background fills?
No. Background fills are mainly used when the logo lacks contrast with the garment.
## Ready to Digitize Your First Logo?
Learning how to digitize a logo for embroidery gives you greater control over stitch quality, consistency, and creative freedom. While general rules can guide the process, every logo is different. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to logo digitizing.

[Download Artwork Here](https://www.digitizingmadeeasy.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/bunnyoutline.PNG)
## Raw Edge Bunny Materials
- A t-shirt hooped with lightweight stabilizer
- An 8×8 inch piece of woven fabric (woven fabric will create a dramatic raw edge)
- Delft blue and white embroidery thread
## Stuffed Bunny Materials
- Two 8×8 inch squares of white fleece
- Temporary embroidery spray
- Lightweight cutaway stabilizer
- Polyester stuffing

## Creating An Embroidered Bunny on the Design Doodler
We’re going to teach you a time-saving technique! Instead of creating each flower individually, we’ll use one set of flowers and simply copy and paste them into the bunny’s body.
It’s a quick and easy process using basic shapes, and you can rotate them with the click of a button. Plus, we’ll keep things simple with just one stitch-out for the shirt—just press ‘go’ and enjoy the adorable result!
Insert your artwork.
1. Select the “insert backdrop” icon.
2. Navigate to your file.
3. Select and open your file.
4. Size to 145X145 mm.
5. Adjust the opacity if you desire. Some find that this helps them to see the digitized lines more easily.
Begin by Digitizing the outline as shown:
1. Select the Run Bean brush.
2. Choose the freeform option.
3. We are using a delft blue (but be creative!).
4. Digitize the lines; we opted not to use the second leg. Please note you do not have to create a jagged fur-like line. Smooth lines will work perfectly.
5. To make the line more bold choose properties.
6. Set repeats to 7 passes.
Once you have your outline, let’s create a flower unit. We will start with the petals using the heart shape and a center round then create outlined leaves
Start with the trefoil heart-shaped leaves.
1. Select the fill brush.
2. Choose fill closed object.
3. Under the line, type selection, choose the preset heart.
4. Create a heart 7.5 mm square.
5. Using the Properties tab, change the density of the selected heart to .35 mm.
6. Set the stitch length to 4 mm.
7. Use fill pattern satin.
Copy and paste the heart.
1. After selecting your heart, copy it and paste it into place.
2. Select the pasted heart (the copy) and move it into position.
3. Use the rotation handle to rotate the heart to the correct position, as shown by the diagram above.
4. Create a 3 petaled flower.
Add the center of the heart.
1. Select the fill brush, using a closed object.
2. Choose the circle option for the line type.
3. Draw your circle (we used white) approximately 5X5 mm.
4. Select fill pattern satin.
Let’s create a leaf! We will use a diamond shape but change the ***type*** of nodes on two sides.
1. Select the run bean brush (the triple pass run stitch).
2. Choose the diamond preset shape line type.
3. We chose blue stitching.
To create two curved sides, we adjust two nodes…
1. Select your diamond shape.
2. To select nodes choose the path edit tool (nodes will appear in each corner).
3. Select the Right node.
4. On the Right side of the screen, select the Properties tool (a box will appear).
5. After selecting change the node type to symmetrical which will create a “round” or curved node.
6. Repeat the process with the left node. Note that you can move the right and left nodes closer or farther apart to create skinny or fat leaves.
Copy and paste the leaf twice using the above method, then place it as in the diagram. Use the rotating arm to rotate it to the desired position.
We now have a complete flower unit which we will copy and paste to insert into our bunny.
1. Select the flower unit and copy.
2. Paste the flower unit and click and drag away from the first unit.
3. While still highlighted, you will drag this into place on the bunny and use the rotation arm to adjust it to the desired position.
We used 5 flower units in our bunny- the Last remaining unit you can select, drag and place.
Create the eye.
1. Select the fill brush.
2. Choose the freeform option.
3. Draw around the eye.
4. Open the properties tool.
5. With the eye selected, change to satin.
If you want to create the stuffed bunny, proceed with the next step below.
If you want to embroider the bunny on a shirt, skip this next step (you’re done!) and save your design.
To create the optional outline for the stuffed bunny, use these steps:
1. Select the run bean stitch.
2. Choose the freeform line tool.
3. Select white thread (this will not show on the white fleece).
4. Draw your outline. This will not be a closed outline. You will need an opening to insert the batting.
Save your file.
1. Choose the Save File tool.
2. Navigate to the place you want to save your file.
3. Name your file.
4. Hit save!
## Embroidering Your Bunny
### Embroidering Your Shirt With A Bunny
Hoop your t-shirt with a medium or lightweight stabilizer. Lightly spray some temporary embroidery adhesive and secure a piece of woven fabric within the hoop, ensuring it’s firmly in place.
Stitch out your design, then trim the edges to about ¼ inch using pinking shears or regular scissors for a clean finish.
Feel free to fray the edges for a relaxed look. Over time, the edges will naturally soften and fray even more as the shirt is washed.
Trim your stabilizer.
### Embroidering A Stuffed Bunny
Hoop a piece of lightweight stabilizer.
Lightly spray temporary adhesive onto the stabilizer, then place a piece of fleece material in the hoop, ensuring it stays secure.
Insert the hoop into your machine and stitch through the white flower centers, stopping just before the final outline.
Remove the hoop and place it face down on a flat surface.
(Note: This is the back side of the bunny stitching.) Secure the second piece of fleece to the back of the hoop using temporary spray adhesive and/or masking tape.
Insert the hoop back into the machine and stitch the final outline.
Remove the design from the hoop and trim the edges to approximately ¼ inch.
Stuff the bunny with polyester batting. Use chopsticks or a large screwdriver to help fill the ears evenly.
Close the opening by either hand-stitching or using a sewing machine for a secure finish.
With just a few simple steps, you’ve created a charming Delft-style bunny using Design Doodler! This project is a great way to experiment with layering fabrics, stitching techniques, and creative placement. Whether you keep it as a decorative piece or gift it to someone special, the unique frayed edges and soft texture will add to its charm over time. We hope you enjoyed this tutorial.
happy stitching!

### [Getting Artistic with Vermicelli (Stipple Stitch)](https://embroiderylegacy.com/vermicelli-stitch-type-embroidery-digitizing/)
**Published:** August 11, 2025
**Author:** John Deer
**Content:**
This is one of those articles that might motivate those of you who like to experiment and stir your artistic flare within your digitizing, but will most likely not be something you will use within your daily practices. There are certain applications within corporate logos to which we have applied this technique, usually in areas that promote some artistic interpretation, such as the foliage portions of trees
Fig. 1
(fig.1) or creating effective water scenes. If you do want to pursue using this stitch effect in your corporate work I would suggest digitizing a fictitious logo that you can use to try and sell the technique. A finished sample is worth a thousand words. Like any process in digitizing that takes longer to produce than your standard corporate work, you’ll probably want to adjust your pricing for the service.
Vermicelli stitches (more commonly know as stipple stitches today) are traditionally used to fill in larger areas with a single pass running stitch and can be created with rounded edges or sharp edges. Historically this stitch was used in the schiffli industry to create patterned yard goods mostly for the fashion and lingerie industry. The interesting thing about using this stitch effect is that even though it resembles a random loose effect, you really need to map and precisely place stitches to ensure a smooth running design without being trapped and having numerous unwanted jump stitches and trims. You’ll generally find that planning your artwork properly will far outweigh your actual digitizing time. Your art should start and stop in a continuous path to promote efficiency in production.
A couple years ago we created a very elaborate catalog that spoofed the National Enquirer. Within the front cover of this piece was an open area approximately 4×5 inches in which we wanted to place an actual embroidered piece to show our workmanship. Obviously producing something like this is not going to be cheap, but historically we have found it to be very effective. Sending out creatively embroidered materials to promote your business is always well worth the effort, they don’t end up in the trash as quickly as the plain printed materials do. With cost being the big factor in producing 10,000 of these catalogs we wanted to create something unique but with a relatively low stitch count.
We decided to do an alien design to go along with the whole theme and decided to use not only different colors but to also tighten and loosen the vermicelli stitch itself to show depth and simulate the reflection of light and the depth of shadows.
Right away we were very happy with the finished effect, as it almost resembled a chenille effect to the embroidery. The stitch count of a bearable 16487 stitches and five color changes wasn’t too bad considering the coverage of space. I actually liked the effect so much we embroidered it on a kid’s jacket and entered it in a trade competition; much to our surprise it took a first place!
With the success of what I considered a fairly simple design we immediately got to work on something a just little more challenging. The finished result of this momentary insanity was a “bridge scene” design that was geared to resemble an impressionist style.
Although a finished stitch count of 136731 sounds high, given the fact that the dimensions of the design are 10×14 ¾ inches and had twenty-two colors, it’s not too bad. I can honestly say that anyone that knows how to enter a manual stitch could have physically digitized this design; each of the 136731 stitches was manually imputed one at a time. The only tricky part was trying not to lose your bearings in the sea of stitches. It took about 10 hours in the digitizing process, which included numerous breaks to compensate for eyestrain.
The real feat was in prepping the artwork. As some of you might have guessed punching something of this size and complexity is more easily done on a digitizing tablet as opposed to on-screen, I personally would have gotten lost about a thousand stitches into it if I tried it on-screen. Taking that into account we hand drafted the design at a 2/1 scale. The first step was blowing up the original photograph to the desired scale and affixing it to a light table. Because there is so much going on we then decided to further break the design down into four separate stages that would mold together as each section was done. Using a very thin tracing paper we were able to place on the light table each completed component of the draft on top of the next; allowing you to view the previous drafts and make sure everything would align upon completion with no gaps. This process took 5 painful days to complete and every stitch in the design was manually drawn with, of all things, a pencil; like most things, most of our old manual drafting utensils have fallen by the wayside with the use of computers to generate our artwork.
As with its’ predecessor the “alien” we tightened and loosened clusters of stitches, but this time we also tried to blend segments of colors to create more tones and depth in the image.
As always the real thing to be proud of in a design of this nature is what people don’t see in the finished product. That being the fluent flow of the design and the limitation of using trims and jumps.
Lastly was the task of choosing the proper colors in which to run the design. Artistic designs are made or broken by using your thread colors in the same way an artist blends colors on his palette. We ended up running it four times with different combinations before finally being content with the results. This is something I see happen frequently in our industry, usually when embroidering animals. You know the scenario; when customer calls saying, “the sample you sent me looks great, but when I stitch it off it looks like crap!” Whenever we do design work that falls into the “artistic” category we always provide the thread type and numbers for them to match up to whatever they carry in stock.
When this framed piece is on display most people don’t event realize that it is embroidered, they usually step forward and back a few times before they believe it. Once I tell them every stitch was hand drawn and manually stitched they ask if I’m a little daft, which I guess I must be!
Here’s a quick video I filmed on the bridge scene design:
Like most of you who share a passion for what you do, this type of thing needs to be done simply for the love of your trade and wanting to do something that falls outside of the corporate curse. So, if you have some extra time on your hands start playing with some of these long forgotten stitch types. And if you want to make it a career, then be prepared to starve to death! Who knows, maybe when we’re long dead and gone our grandchildren might actually be able to get a buck or two for this stuff. Until then we just have to do it because we can!

### [Why Learn Embroidery Digitizing? Because It’s Fun!](https://embroiderylegacy.com/why-learn-embroidery-digitizing-because-its-fun/)
**Published:** August 11, 2025
**Author:** John Deer
**Content:**
## If You’re Frustrated With Digitizing… Something Is Missing
As an educator, over the years I’ve heard the same digitizing comments over and over again, like a broken record.
These comments being the most popular by far:
- “I bought the software and didn’t have anyone to teach me how to use it”
- The next being, “the learning curve was too much, I don’t have time for that”.
- Then the follow-up comment is, “there are so many designs available, why would I spend the time learning how to create my own”?
If I translate what I’ve heard, it goes something like this…
- I purchased software without verifying that education was available to show me how to use it.
- I had no real foundation on the theory of how to create quality embroidery designs.
- Even though I’ve invested hundreds to thousands of dollars on software that’ll create custom designs, I got so frustrated with the results I was getting that I simply gave up!
## The Missing Piece Of The Puzzle…
This might sound familiar. I always argue that if someone knowingly purchased digitizing software with the intent of creating their own embroidery designs and fell short, it’s not that the individual couldn’t accomplish their goals. It’s that they kept getting bad results when they tried, so naturally, they got frustrated and gave up. It’s kind of like riding a bike. If you bought a brand new bike and just kept falling and scraping yourself without seeing any results, you’d naturally end up frustrated and give up on that too.
> *So how do you fix this and make it fun? You need a dedicated teacher that’ll help guide you towards seeing positive results! Going back to the bike example, most children have their parents help ease them into riding by holding their seat and keeping them balanced until finally… They’re riding on their own and having… You guessed it: fun!*

When I first started digitizing 35 years ago, it was the same process. Back then, a digitizer’s career was built on the theory of the machine interacting with different materials alongside the top and bobbin thread. Now also keep in mind that this was all happening on twenty yards of fabric with hundreds of needles all running simultaneously. It was a lot of pressure, but thankfully I was mentored by a Swiss Schiffli Master.
*The first machine I learned how to digitize on: a 1905 Schiffli pantograph, pictured above.*
The first time I tried digitizing, I screwed up an order of over 1000 embroidery patches in my grandparent’s factory. If anyone had a reason to give up at that point, it was me. Although I was frustrated & embarrassed, my mentor took me under his wing and taught me the theory behind creating beautiful embroidery designs. Now at first, it was challenging. But as my skills grew and I began seeing more & more positive results, it became fun!
Sound familiar? We ALL need teachers. Are some teachers better than others? Of course, growing up, we learn that very quickly. A good teacher can make a student a better version of their current self, or coast along the mainstream and make someone want to give up.
It’s a fact of life that finding the right mentors and teachers is key to having success in any endeavor. Then comes the reality: you have to be willing to learn and practice to refine your skills, which takes time. I’ve never met a concert pianist who only practices eight hours a week… It’s more like eight hours a day. Now keep in mind, learning the beautiful art of embroidery digitizing isn’t going to take you 8 hours of practice a day… But you get the point? Practice makes perfect.
### Make Learning Digitizing Fun Again! Endless Creative Possibilities…
Woman sitting at her desk in office holding a pen. Smiling business woman with her laptop computer on her office desk.
Now you might be sitting here reading this and saying, this guy said, “Digitizing is fun”! All I’ve heard so far is having to learn something and then have to practice it… where is the FUN in that?
The FUN is what you birth as a result of your hard work, the passion that went into it, the creativity that grows over time. The fun is built in small steps and in the end, has no limitations as to what you can accomplish. Think about it, once you’ve learned to digitize, the possibilities of what you can create with embroidery are literally endless.
From the very beginning, I was taught that embroidery is an art form and as a young man becoming a “Puncher” (now known as digitizing) was the equivalent of an artist sitting before a canvas. I really try to avoid debates with people who argue if “digitizing is a real artform.” You’re listening to a man whose entire life, and five generations of his family’s lives, have been dedicated towards embroidery and refining these skills.
- All that said, are some digitizing software programs better than others?… Most definitely!
- Will the key after purchasing the software be in finding a good teacher?… From personal experience, yes!
- Will you need to be dedicated to the learning process and put in some time to become good?… What worthwhile endeavor doesn’t require that?
Put all these together, and I guarantee the positive results you get will give you a heart-felt passion for the art of creating your own designs.
Now that’s where I come in. As the last Schiffli Master still alive & teaching in North America, it’s become my passion to pass down what I was taught by my mentor and assist you in creating an Embroidery Legacy of your own… one stitch at a time!
If you’d like to stop being frustrated and finally make digitizing fun, I’d highly suggest you check out our **[Digitizer’s Dream Workshop](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-classes/digitizing-education/workshop/)**. This workshop lays down the essential foundation every embroiderer needs to truly understand how digitizing works—without the overwhelm. By breaking things down into clear, bite-sized lessons, you’ll quickly gain the knowledge and confidence to start creating your own embroidery designs. It’s designed to help you see results right away and keep building on those small wins that make learning so rewarding.
Of course, don’t just take my word for it though… Here’s what some of my past students have to say about our education:
“I believe this will give me the edge I need to make my business a phenomenal success
I want to tell you how much of a success this course was for me and my new business. I learned the fundamentals that I needed plus more! When you become a part of these sessions you are not just learning, you are becoming part of a family, and part of something bigger than you. It was more than worth the money and time to attend these classes and I learned so much from them.“
– Linda Hale
“The best investment I could have made for my embroidery work
It doesn’t take long to realize how passionate John is about sharing his expertise of 35 years in the embroidery industry. He knows it inside and out and is VERY GOOD at teaching every aspect of what he knows… I understand more about the theory behind great embroidery. I can now create and output better designs. You will find making the small investment of time and money will payoff a thousand fold for your business or hobby.“
– Sheila Smoley
“I have a major project goal & I will meet my goal!
I worked thru all the video lessons, I am able to go back & take each step again at my speed. As I’m easily intimidated, I can absolutely work out each step with John’s clear & concise instruction. Unlike some programs, the theory was most beneficial for my mechanical brain to make beautiful designs. “
– Mary Mowery
“I’ve sat on the side line for years, glad I finally did it
I am a complete beginner to digitizing… I am working through things at my own pace and the best thing is I am not feeling pressured or feeling like I holding any one else up. I am enjoying every minute of it. I can go back over things, in my time, till I feel I have the hang if it. A huge THANK YOU to John Deer and the Deer family. You really have a way of teaching second to none.“
– Grace Lovegrove
Whether you’re a total beginner or someone who’s dabbled in digitizing before, having a solid grasp of embroidery theory is invaluable if you want better results with your designs.
The **[Digitizer’s Dream Workshop](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-classes/digitizing-education/workshop/)** does require you to invest a little time, but I promise you’ll have fun while you learn—and you’ll love what you can create with your new skills.

## Tips When Creating Edge To Edge Designs
Important things to remember when creating an edge-to-edge design: - The beginning and end of your design need to be directly across from each other to allow you to re-hoop and line up the design easily.
- Turn on “Snap to Anchor” to draw continuously by connecting one segment (line) to the next without a tie-in and out. The red dot indicates that “Snap to Anchor” is on.
## Edge To Edge Quilting Design Tutorial
**Step 1:** Draw your design. I used the straight line tool for simplicity, but you can use the Free Draw Tool for more complex designs.
**Step 2:** Select design > open Properties Docker. Change the Stitch Length and Stitch Style to what you’d like.
**Step 3:** Under Command > change Tie On to NONE > change Tie Off to NONE.
**Step 4:** Copy and Paste the design. I changed the color to green so you could see it better when lining up the designs.
**Step 5:** Drag the copied design so the Start point touches the End point of the first design.
**Step 6:** Select the last design.
**Step 7:** Open the Properties Docker > Commands > Change the Tie Off to Basic
**Step 8:** Select the first object.
**Step 9:** Open Properties Docker > Commands > Change Tie On to Basic.
**Step 10:** Save your design as a JDX file and then in your machine’s file format.

People often link October to fall, pumpkins, and Halloween. But did you know it is also breast cancer awareness month?
## Breast cancer awareness month
According to the American Cancer Society (2024), 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer, making it the most common type of cancer among American women.
Breast Cancer Awareness is a cause that’s very close to my heart and my family’s. We’ve been personally affected by it for many years. My grandmother, Irene Thaler, co-founded our embroidery business with my grandfather 67 years ago. Nineteen years ago, she was diagnosed with breast cancer, making this cause even more meaningful to us.
Awareness made all the difference for her. By catching it early, she was able to undergo treatment, and over the last 17 years of her life, she watched her great-grandchildren grow up—even meeting her great-great-grandchildren! (How amazing is that?) We feel so blessed to
have had her in our lives for so long, all because she took preventative measures and stayed on top of her regular checkups. Taking precautions truly matters.

### [What Is Chenille and Chain Stitch Embroidery](https://embroiderylegacy.com/what-is-chenille-and-chain-stitch-embroidery/)
**Published:** August 11, 2025
**Author:** Embroidery Legacy
**Content:**
We are jumping into the way-back machine this week, friends! Going to jump way, waaaay back to 1850, stop for a malted at the local soda shop in the 1940s, and beyond. What could be interesting in which spans such a long history? Chain Stitch and chenille embroidery, of course!
> *Check out this lovely chenille Embroidery Legacy design created by our very own Christine Buhr.*

There has been much interest lately regarding the faux chain stitch and chenille embroidery. These are both made, along with a myriad of other stitches, by Cornely Machines, first invented in the 1850s! This story is colorful and interesting with patents and a talented female workforce. These were the first embroidery machines—the grand-daddy of your Janome or Brother. Without the innovation of some creative thinkers, you would not be making shirts and in-the-hoop projects…. So without further delay, please meet the Cornely Embroidery Machine.
## History of the Bonnaz and Cornely Machines
Antoine Bonnaz was born on December 17, 1836, in Versin, France. His family had a history of gun-making along with other machinery. As a child, school was not compulsory, and he amused himself by tinkering with machines and creating things such as a wooden clock, cutting the gears *en mass*.
Joseph Jacquard developed his loom in 1800, and Barthelemy Thimonnier invented the sewing machine in 1825.
Attracted by these machines, Antoine received work as a mechanic in a silk factory. As he worked with the hand-embroiderers, he was compelled to think of ways to reproduce their handiwork with a machine. Basing his invention on Thimonnier’s sewing machine but also solving design problems, he obtained the patent for his machine called “couso-brodeur”, meaning “sewing embroidery” in 1863. After receiving his patent, he sold it to the firm Hurtu et Hautin in Paris, who were well known for making cording machines and produced bicycles and, later, motor cars.
With that history in mind, now enters the star of our show…. Ercole Cornely.
The patent was eventually acquired by Ercole Cornely in Paris, who made improvements by developing a hook-shaped needle that could create a line of chain stitches. These were the first machines to accurately and quickly create a chain stitch which imitated the work done by hand on a tambour frame. They were easy to use, could be used in the home or a small workroom, and as the mechanism developed, it became difficult to distinguish machine stitching from hand sewn.
In addition to that, Cornely improved upon the original designs, creating machines capable of making chenille (called a moss stitch), braiding, taping, and other designs. The machines were wildly popular and truly created a female-based industry as the earlier hand embroidery workforce was composed almost solely of women. This meant you or I could purchase a machine and use it at home to create linens, adorn clothing, and more.
## Uses Of The Cornely Embroidery Machine
The versatility of the Cornely machine is extraordinary! You could walk into a home and stand on a rug created by a Cornely machine, put your embroidered umbrella in the stand, take off your embroidered hat, and hand over a luscious embroidered coat. There was no room that could not display some of these stitches.
These machines are particularly tough- they can stitch through leather, vinyl, wool, felt, and then work on silk or cotton bobbinet just as easily. They are remarkably simple machines, and a trained operator can do the maintenance.
One of the ways in which this machine is so unique is that its movement is controlled by hand. Under the machine, there is a handle that allows the operator to guide the machine. How does it work? Your left hand secures the fabric, and your right-hand turns the handle under the work surface. If you want to go right, you rotate the handle to the right- make a circle? Turn the handle in a circle. You are basically “drawing” with an embroidery machine.
Of course, there is a huge learning curve, and it can take many, many years to become proficient on these machines. But let’s look at some of the basic stitches possible on the Basic Cornely “A” machine.
### Chain Stitch Using A Cornely Embroidery Machine
We have mentioned chain stitch, but what is it really?
For those of you who crochet, you know that you take your hook and dip it through a loop of yarn and hook the next section of yarn, pulling it through the previous loop. Chain stitch is precisely that! It is a hook piercing fabric, picking up a loop of yarn (Cornely embroiderers often will call anything from a thread on up to heavyweight “yarn”) and pulling it to the surface. The machine’s round foot, protected by a rubber ring, will advance and press down while the foot drags the fabric ahead, slightly positioning it for the next stitch. If you want to see this in action, there are many videos on Youtube!
**Chain stitch** is quite versatile, from sailor caps with your name jauntily stitched across the brim at a fair to extravagant lace curtains on netting with cutwork. The art is using stitches to highlight the areas you want to emphasize in combination with luscious colors. The effect when looking at the surface and looking at it held up to the light is amazing.
Chain stitching does not just come in white; of course, the thread used in a Cornely machine is as varied as the rainbow, and all of the threads you use on a commercial machine can (with a small needle) be used too! Generally, a heavy weight 12wt cotton or wool thread is used.
### Chenille
Chenille is a little different. Originally called “moss stitch,” it imitates fluffy moss. Instead of pulling a loop *through* another loop, it pulls that loop up and then advances to the next stitch. Chenille needs to be tightly packed to fill in even the smallest areas and is generally used for fills only. It needs to be treated on the back- often, people would glue the back, but when packed tightly, the overlapping stitches lock in the stitches underneath. The top side can be left as loops, trimmed, and occasionally you will see it brushed out into a wooly texture.
Chenille is either made in wool yarn (12wt) or cotton and is not generally washed. Chenille is most often seen on letterman Jackets and “old school” patches on biker jackets. Currently, it is in favor for textiles, pillows, etc.
### Braiding/Taping Cornely Embroidery Machine
Braiding and taping are basically the same thing; the Cornely B machine has the added feature of a tower which holds a spool of Rice Braid (think shoelaces) in varying weights or **Soutache** which is a corded braid of two cords held together with a continual figure 8 of silk or rayon thread. The tape or braid is fed through a hollow tube that replaces the regular needle bar, and it comes out the bottom and is fed through a special foot that allows the needle to stitch onto it.
The ability of the machine to turn and “draw” makes it easy to create wonderful patterns, just like with plain yarn. You will most commonly find taping and braiding in military uniforms, dresses of the Civil War, and later and couture dresses of the 1940s and 50s.
### Twisting/Cording Cornely Embroidery Machine
Later machines of Cornely’s design included those which could twist a cord or thread around the basic thread creating wonderful textures. Altering the texture or thickness of the added cord could create marvelous designs.
### Other Stitches On Cornely Embroidery Machine
Of course, we could go on and on (and on) but know that almost all of Cornely’s machines did the basic chain stitch as well as chenille. Machines after the A machine each had one or more added features such as sequins, beads, twisting, rope stitches, double stitching, stitching with the design underneath the machine bed. They could have 1, 2, or 3 needles running at one time, and you have but to look at a Couturier to see a tiny fraction of the innovative ways of using this machine.
## Modern Equivalents To The Cornely Machine
Of course, now we have your attention…. And you want to know how you can create some of these wonderful textures and stitches.
On our [**Embroidery Legacy Youtube channel**](https://www.youtube.com/c/JohnDeersEmbroideryLegacy), John demonstrates embroidered techniques that can easily be followed and put into practice for you to try yourself. Check it out below.
Let’s look at some modern takes on this traditional machine embroidery!
### Commercial Embroidery Machine: Chenille, Chain, and Taping
The pillow you bought at the home store with the beautiful chain stitching was done on a commercial machine such as the Tajima or ZSK machines. These modern machines have ingenious upgrades that allow the embroiderer to create a chenille or chain stitch with a hooked needle or add beads, sequins, etc., to a traditional embroidered design. These are specialty machine attachments, but they faithfully reproduce what Antoine Bonnaz and Ercole Cornely dreamed up.
### Faux Chenille
Believe it or not, you can create a “faux” chenille stitch on your machine. While it is not looped in the traditional way, the texture as an embellishment is quite nice! Check out our video below for more information on how to use this and other effects together.
### Faux Chain Stitch
Faux chain stitching can be made, creating a motif shaped like an arrow. Here is a wonderful example of using a motif with heavy thread by Linda Rayburn to create an excellent faux chain stitch.
### Threads
When stitching on your own machine, you will want to consider using a heavier thread; as there are many options, a 12wt Cotton, Rayon or Wool are good choices. Remember that you need a larger needle for these, at least a 10/16.
## Conclusion: Check Out Chenille & Chain Stitch Embroidery Possibilities
Well, you are probably exhausted from our journey from 1860 to today. We’ve covered so much; let’s recap some of the things we touched on.
- Cornely Machines are extraordinary, as they can stitch through leather, vinyl, wood, and felt while stitching through silk or cotton just as easily.
- Look at our Faux chenille stitch video and check for updates on using these.
- **Try making a chain stitch motif** to be used as a decorative line or fill
The biggest takeaway from this week’s discussion is not to be deterred! Antoine Bonnaz was an inventive engineer who never went to school and liked to tinker. His experiments with wooden clocks brought you the embroidery machine you use today! Look everywhere for inspiration, look at textures, try something new, take a class…. It’s all there for you, and we will be with you every step of the way. You’re part of the family, the Embroidery Legacy Family. Until next time, happy stitching!

## How To Doodle Your Embroidered Bookmark
Step 1: Click 3 Dots to change the Measurement settings to Imperial -inches> Click Close
Step 2: Select Running Stitch>Square. Drag out a Square.
Step 3: Select the Square> Select Properties Icon> Select Transform.
- Make sure ‘Maintain Aspect Ratio’ is Unchecked
- Change the Width to 2” and Height to 7”
- Unselect the Rectangle and change the Measurement setting back to Metric.
Step 4: Select the Rectangle > Copy and Paste, repeat. You will now have 3 Rectangles.
Step 5: Open the Sequence Docker.
Step 6: Open the Color Palette.
- Select the second Rectangle> Change to a new color.
- Select the third Rectangle> Change to a new color.
- These Rectangles will be the Placement Line, Tackdown Line for Batting, and Tackdown Line for Scrap fabric.
Step 7: Make sure Snap to Anchor is selected, indicated by a gray highlight.
Step 8: Select Bean Stitch and the Freehand Shape tool.
Step 9: Starting at the top left corner, Doodle a stippling pattern inside the rectangle. Make sure the lines do not cross over. If you lift your pen, you will see a black dot on the last stitch. Hover your pen over this dot to begin Doodling again where you left off.
Step 10: Select the First Rectangle> Copy and Paste. The copied rectangle will be at the bottom of the Sequence Docker. Select it.
Step 11: Open the Properties Docker > Change Stitch Length to 4.5mm > Bean Stitch> 7 Passes of Thread.

## Supplies Needed:
- Fabric Scraps
- No-Show Mesh Stabilizer
- 3” x 8” Batting
- 6” x 8” Fabric
- Heat n Bond LITE
- Masking Tape
- Spray Adhesive
- Scissors
- Rotary Cutter
- Ruler
- Iron
- Parchment paper
- *Optional* – Grommet, Crop a Dile to cut and set Grommet, Ribbon, or Tassel
## Making Your Embroidered Bookmark
Step 1: Iron on a piece of Heat n Bond LITE to the right side of the base fabric.
Step 2: Remove the paper.
Step 3: Use your fabric scraps and randomly place them over the Heat n Bond. Try not to overlap the scraps too much and trim where necessary so there are no large pieces that won’t be held in place by the Heat n Bond.
Step 4: Place Parchment paper over the top of the fabric scraps—iron to secure the scraps in place.
Step 5: Use a rotary cutter to cut the scrap fabric in half. One will be for the front of the bookmark and the other for the back.
Step 6: Stitch the Placement Line. Remove the Hoop.
Step 7: Lay the batting over the top and secure it with tape.
Step 8: Stitch the Tackdown Line. Remove the Hoop. Trim away the excess batting.
Step 9: Lightly spray the back of 1 Scrap fabric with adhesive. Place over the Batting. Smooth in place, secure with tape.
Step 10: Turn the hoop over and repeat with the other Scrap fabric piece. Carefully place the hoop on your machine, ensuring the bottom fabric is secure. Stitch the Tackdown Line and the rest of the design. Remove the hoop.
Step 11: Carefully trim 1/8” away from the rectangle Bean Stitch.
Step 12: OPTIONAL: Add Grommet
- Use Crop A Dile or hole cutter to make a hole for the grommet. Attach Grommet
- Use a Ribbon or a Decorative tassel fed through the Grommet.
You’ve now turned your fabric scraps into a functional, stylish bookmark! Adding flair to your reading experience is just that easy!

At 17, **John Deer** mastered embroidery digitizing under professional Schiffli masters. John would go on to earn 30 awards, teach 100,000+ embroiderers, and work with brands like Disney, Coca-Cola, and the NFL.
But after decades of teaching, he kept seeing embroiderers struggle with clunky and complex embroidery digitizing software. He knew there had to be a better way, so he set out to create a simpler, frustration-free solution.
For **three years**, he obsessed over every detail, focusing on the biggest pain points in popular digitizing software. To ensure it met real-world needs, we launched early access to 1,000 embroiderers in Nov. 2024—**selling out in just a week!**
Over six months, their feedback helped further shape the software into what it is today: **the easiest way to digitize**, with thousands of embroiderers making the switch!

## Frequently Asked Questions
Have a question? We’re here to help!
### Can I save or export designs in the demo?
No. Saving and exporting are disabled in the demo version. The purpose of the demo is to let you fully explore the software, test the tools, and experience the workflow before deciding if it’s right for you.
### Is this really the full software?

### Is this beginner-friendly?
**Absolutely.** In fact, one of the main reasons we created Embroidery Legacy Digitizing Software was because we saw so many embroiderers struggle with other software programs that felt confusing and overwhelming.
That’s why we designed it to be beginner-friendly, with a clean interface and user-friendly workflow. The demo also includes walkthroughs, video tutorials, and intuitive tools that help you learn as you go.
Whether you’re completely new to digitizing or have tried other software before, you’ll have the guidance you need to start creating with confidence.

Companies We’ve Professionally Worked with & Digitized for
## Learn from the world’s most awarded embroidery digitizer, John Deer
As the CEO of Embroidery Legacy, John Deer has won 30 commercial digitizing awards and worked with dozens of fortune 500 companies. John apprenticed under Swiss Schiffli Master Digitizers over 40 years ago in his grandparents’ factory, before computers even entered the digitizing world. To date he is the last Schiffli master digitizer alive and teaching.
John has run 2 commercial embroidery factories, owned one of the world’s largest production digitizing houses, wrote the popular book “Digitizing Made Easy”, and helped coach hundreds of thousands of embroiderers globally.
### Our education has proven results

SAI: The Only Entry-Price Embroidery Machine With Tajima’s Proven Manufacturing Quality
Are there cheaper multi-needle machines?
Yes, there are offshore machines that are cheaper than a Tajima SAI. But, remember the old saying: “you get what you pay for.” When it comes to an important investment like this, cutting сorners will only come back to bite you. Tajima machines are built with time-tested quality and high-end components. Most offshore machines have thread & bobbin tension issues, resulting in poor quality stitching and extremely frustrating issues. Many offshore brand machines are also known to break within a couple of years. Tajima machines are known for being high-quality workhorses that outlast virtually anything on the market.
Do some other machines have 15- needles (7 more than the SAI)?
Yes, they do, and we understand why you may be concerned about that. But Tajima doesn’t cut corners. In fact, the 8 needles and colors featured on the Tajima SAI is the perfect amount for virtually any embroidery project. 90% of embroidery projects require less than 8 color changes, and beautiful bold designs are best when using 4 or fewer colors. With fewer needles, the Tajima SAI is able to be more compact than other machines, more quiet, and at less risk for issues.
Is a Tajima machine really worth it in the long-run?
It’s no secret that a Tajima Embroidery Machine is an investment. You wouldn’t go to a shady used car salesman and ask for the cheapest car on the lot for your daily commuter vehicle (unless you absolutely had to). We all know it’ll end up costing you even more money in the long-run because it’ll have problems and eventually break down. Instead, you’d go to a trustworthy dealer and look for a good deal on a reliable vehicle that’s comfortable, had good gas mileage, and comes with a warranty. A Tajima embroidery machine is like that trustworthy vehicle… Plus it holds great resale value even years down the line! That’s why we put our name behind it.

If you haven't done a Legacy webinar you should try it, it's a lot of fun. You feel like part of the family and what you get is a lot more than you pay for.

I attended my first (but certainly not last) Embroidery Legacy Party and absolutely loved it. John is an incredibly entertaining host, and he knows how to dress the part. In addition to the beautiful In The Hoop Christmas designs, which everyone received for free, there were many door prices to boot! (Talk about getting value for your money!) Sign me up already for the next one, please!Nyla S
I truly loved the Christmas party. It was so educational and fun. I loved the designs that were given and demonstrated. They stitch out beautifully. I already signed up for the next webinar!Bernice R
I just wanted to say what a great evening I had at your holiday party. Learned so much and loved seeing you as Santa and his reindeer. The prizes were great through out the show. Thank you for the Christmas font and the great deal on the lovely Christmas designs. Will definitely be attending your next party.Alice J
The virtual Christmas party of 2020 was my first ever John Deer event and I learned so much that I immediately signed up for the January 2021 event. I love the way the designs stitch out. John’s personality and humor are a nice touch and made the event enjoyable and fun. Another plus was that the entire Deer family was on hand to answer the many questions in real time. The cost of the class was reasonable since free designs and a discount toward purchases were given. I’m hooked and a new fan for sure! Looking forward to the patches class!Gail H
The JD Christmas Party was a great way to learn in a relaxed, fun atmosphere. I have attended other online sessions from other sites (not JD), and I have to say the JD video stream was consistent and clear. Thank you for a chance to spend some time having fun and providing a brief escape from the woes of the world that exist today. The great giveaways are a bonus too!Prev

### What our customers are saying
Shelley B 
★★★★★
I was very surprised to see the doodler come out. It’s what I had been dreaming about - being able to draw my creations and stitch them on my items! I’ve just started, but I am already seeing the amazing possibilities.
Gill B 
★★★★★
"The Design Doodler is an amazing piece of software that I highly recommend. Along with the software there is fantastic support, Lessons and videos with easy instructions on how to use it. I am so excited and thankful to John Deer and his team. "
Diane C 
★★★★★
Design Doodler has so much support and amazing videos, that it makes it fun to create my own designs
Rena Z 
★★★★★
I love Design Doodler. It’s so much easier with the pen on the iPad. I like to scribble in free form, which is more my style than tracing accurately.
Dawn K 
★★★★★
I purchased Design Doodler and I am absolutely in love with it. All the other digitizing programs either were very difficult to learn or priced out of my budget.
Christine S 
★★★★★
Thank you for introducing me to Design Doodle. Thanks to your great free training videos, marvelous results can be quickly obtained even for non-specialists in digitizing. The app is easy and intuitive.
Allison F 
★★★★★
I’m brand new to machine embroidery, and the amount of software out there is absolutely mind-boggling. Compared to $1,000+ software, this was a more reasonable investment to get started. You’ll need to put a couple of hours into the tutorial videos, but this is very easy software to pick up and quality results when transferring to a machine after minimal training. I stitched out a high-quality CUSTOM piece within 4 work hours of downloading the software.
Betty W 
★★★★★
I think the Design Doodler is great! It is a fun way to learn, and I am going to show it to my grandchildren, who will probably show me how to doodle better.
Cheryl C 
★★★★★
The Design Doodler has been so much fun! It's really addictive and I'm amazed at how a simple doodle becomes a great unique design.

## Frequently Asked Questions
Have a question? We’re here for you!
If I’m not artistic, how can I use the Design Doodler?
The Design Doodler is easy and fun to use for everyone, regardless of artistic ability. If you don’t feel comfortable “doodling” an image, you can always trace one! Design Doodler allows you to upload images to trace with just a few clicks. Imagine tracing a photograph you took during your last holiday get-together with family. Or maybe you want to trace out a picture your child or grandchild drew. All you have to do is snap a picture of what you want to trace, upload the image to Design Doodler, and you’re ready to start tracing! It really is that simple!
What do I need to use Design Doodler? System Requirements
\*\*Please note only the software, not the hardware (computer or Ipad) comes with the Design Doodler.
You’ll need a computer with a Windows Operating system. You can also use the iPad companion app to design on the go with any iPad generation that supports the Apple Pencil (although the apple pencil is not required to use the ap).
**Desktop Recommended PC System Requirements:**
• Genuine Intel Pentium IV, 2.8 GHz PC computer (*Or an equivalent PC system)*
• Microsoft® Windows® 10/11 64-bit operating system
• 4 GB RAM
• Minimum 1 GB hard disk drive space available
• Mouse or Touch/Pen support
**Ipad Recommended iPad System Requirements:**
• An iPad Generation that supports the Apple Pencil
• An operating system of iPadOS 17 or later
• 2 GB Ram
• 200 MB available Hard Drive Space for installation
*You will need internet access to email/share designs you create between the two devices.*
Can I use this on a Macbook or iMac?
You can use Design Doodler on any computer that runs Windows. If you have a macbook or iMac, you would need to install and use Windows OS.
Do I have to have an iPad?
No, you don’t have to use an iPad. You can use a computer. Keep in mind, however, that Design Doodler will NOT work on non-iPad tablets.
What if I don’t have an iPad or touchscreen computer?
That’s ok! You can create doodles with your computers mouse/cursor. Some people prefer the natural feeling of a tablet pencil or computer drawing pad, but you can certainly make beautiful designs with a normal mouse.
Can I access my design on my computer if I drew it on my iPad?
Yes! You can save your doodles/designs in the iPad app and access them on your computer. In fact, some people may prefer to open their design on their computer to add some finishing touches before sending it to their embroidery machine.
How do I send a design to my embroidery machine?
It’s easy! On your desktop version of the Design Doodler, you simply select the file format you’d like to export your design into. From there, load it on a USB and insert it into your machine as you would with any other embroidery design.
From the Ipad companion app, you’ll save your working files as .jds files. From there, you can share them via email, Skype, etc. Then you can open the .jds file on the desktop version and edit it or save it to any machine format you wish to load into your machine via USB or wireless connection based on how your machine can import embroidery files.
What kinds of embroidery & quilting machines does Design Doodler work with?
Almost every machine! The Design Doodler will export designs to work on virtually any embroidery machine & quilting imaginable, whether you have a single-needle or multi-needle machine.
As long as your **embroidery machine** runs one of the following file formats, our designs will work on your machine:
• PES (Brother / Babylock / Bernina)
• JEF (Janome)
• & VP3. & VIP & SHV (Husqvarna / Viking)
• XXX (Singer)
• DST (Tajima / Most machine brands as an expanded file format)
• EXP (Melco / Bravo / Most machine brands as an expanded file format)
• SEW (Elna/Jamoe/Kenmore)
• EMD (Elna)
• PCS (Pfaff)
• CSD (singer/Poem)
As long as your **quilting machine** runs on one of the following file formats, our designs will work on your machine:

• PLT ((4QB) – QBot / QBOT HPGL Plotter Files)

• TXT (HQ Pro-Stitcher, PC Quilter)
What happens with upgrades/updates?
All updates to the software are absolutely free! These include improvements to the software’s functionality, fixing any reported issues, etc.
Although a while away, given how new this software is, upgrades will be optional and likely be charged only if the newly added features justify it. This is because upgrades will include new tools/features, which of course, take a considerable amount of time and resources for our software engineers to put into place. Rest assured that if there is ever a paid upgrade, it will be worth it ?
Can my child or grandchild use Design Doodler?
Absolutely! Design Doodler is very intuitive. Your child or grandchild can doodle on your iPad or computer and then you can use the design for your next embroidery project. How amazing is that?
What is the difference between this and digitizing?
The Design Doodler is a quick and extremely easy way to doodle, sketch, and trace your way toward creating light, fun embroidery designs. It’s a powerful program that allows you to almost “draw” your designs into existence.
While the Doodler generates high-quality designs thanks to its advanced engine that automatically applies proper stitch settings, **digitizing remains the gold standard for the best results**—especially for complex designs or professional production work. If you’re interested in digitizing, check out our cutting-edge [EL Digitizing Software](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-software/digitizing/).
We still love digitizing! And recommend that everyone, at the very least, take our [Embroidery Digitizing 101 Course](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-digitizing-beginner-cheat-sheet/) to help improve every aspect of your embroidery life. However, the design doodler is an easy way to turn your imagination into stitches by making simpler designs anytime, anywhere, at any age.

## Frequently Asked Questions
Get the clarity you need before speaking with a Tajima expert.
**What’s the difference between the Base Machine Package and the Business Starter Kit?**Both packages include the Tajima SAI embroidery machine, but the Business Starter Kit adds valuable accessories to help you start crafting or selling caps right away. Here’s a breakdown:
Base Machine Package *–* Includes:
- Tajima SAI 8-needle embroidery machine
- Tool kit & oil for maintenance and easy setup
- Tajima Writer Plus software for Windows (with auto-digitizing, design templates, and LAN connection)
- Two 11.8″ x 7.8″ hoops (300mm x 200mm)
- Two 3.9″ x 3.9″ hoops (100mm x 100mm)
Perfect if you’re just getting started or planning flat embroidery on items like shirts, bags, and patches.
**Business Starter Kit** *–* Includes everything in the Base Package, plus:
- Two cap attachments for professional-quality hat embroidery
Ideal for small businesses or side hustles looking to offer cap embroidery from day one.
****Is the SAI a good option for beginners or home-based businesses?****Yes—**the Tajima SAI is one of the best entry-level machines for serious beginners** and home-based entrepreneurs. It’s compact, user-friendly, and built with Tajima’s commercial-grade engineering, so it delivers professional results without the steep learning curve.
*Imagine trying to learn photography with a cheap, unreliable camera—you’ll only get frustrated and held back.*
The same goes for embroidery. Starting with a low-quality machine can create more problems than progress. The SAI gives you the confidence to learn, grow, and take on real orders without limitations.
Whether you’re upgrading from a single-needle machine or just diving into embroidery, the SAI is the perfect balance of ease, reliability, and capability.
******Can the SAI embroider hats, sleeves, and other hard-to-hoop items?******Absolutely! With the right accessories, the SAI is fully capable of embroidering hats, sleeves, backpacks, and more. We recommend adding the hat hoop or choosing the Business Starter Kit, which includes it.
******Does the SAI come with training and support?******Yes. When you purchase through our trusted partner, Tajima Australia, you’ll get support and access to local or remote training. Think of them like your embroidery pit crew—always in your corner, making sure your machine (and your business) runs at peak performance.
In addition, you’ll have access to our exclusive learning resources and tutorials, so you’re never left stitching in the dark.
********Is the Tajima SAI compatible with digitizing software?********Yes, the SAI used .DT files, and works with virtually every digitizing software program, including our very own [**Embroidery Legacy Digitizing Software**](https://www.digitizingmadeeasy.com/embroidery-software/digitizing/). You can continue using your preferred platform or explore new tools with us.
**********How big is the embroidery area, and are my old hoops compatible?**********The Tajima SAI offers a generous 12” x 8” (300mm x 200mm) embroidery field—perfect for monograms, left-chest logos, patches, and even small jacket backs.
If you’re upgrading from another brand like Brother, Babylock, or Bernina, your existing hoops may not be compatible with the SAI. But no worries—new hoops are included with your purchase, so you’ll be fully equipped to start stitching right away.
************How does the SAI compare to other embroidery machines?************There’s a reason Tajima embroidery machines have been trusted by many of the world’s top brands for decades—they’re built to deliver not just stunning results, but also unmatched efficiency and reliability.
While other machines may boast more needles or higher stitch speeds, the SAI’s advanced engineering, precision stitch control, and superior tension system allow it to outperform many machines on actual production output and quality.
Curious to see how it stacks up?
Watch the video below to see how the Tajima SAI goes head-to-head against competitors and comes out on top—even those with more needles and higher advertised speeds.
**************Is the SAI truly built to last and scale with my business?**************Yes. Unlike hobby machines, the SAI is built with **Tajima’s commercial-grade engineering**, meaning it can handle high volumes, complex designs, and long-term daily use. In fact, **Tajima machines are known for having some of the best resale value in the industry**—a testament to their durability and reputation.
Whether you’re stitching monograms or producing hundreds of hats, the SAI is a serious machine that grows with you and stands the test of time.

I'm absolutely loving it. I've tried different editing programs without success. I find them complicated, and nothing has ever stitched out correctly. I've had the doodler less than a week, and I'm stitching away; it just does it all for you

## Frequently Asked Questions
Having questions about us? We have just the right answers for you.
What is the difference between this demo version and the full version?
Great question! The demo version is very similar to the full version, however, you are not able to save or export the files that you create within the demo version. That means you won’t be able to stitch out the designs you create in the demo version on your machine. Rather, you’ll be able to see them on the screen, customize them, and see how the software quickly turns your doodles into stitches in the program. Additionally, when you purchase the full version you will also receive a bonus education course ($99.95 value) with an additional 10+ video lessons.
How long do I have access to the demo?
There is no time limit on the demo. Use it as long as you’d like… just remember you can’t export any of your files until you purchase the full version. The demo is a great way to play around with the software and see just how exciting it is to doodle custom embroidery designs without any digitizing!
Will the files I create in the Demo version remain in the program once I purchase the full version?
Unfortunately, no. The demo version of the software is unable to save or export the files you create.
What do the 5 demo mini-lessons cover?
To ensure you get the most out of your trial, we’ve created a few super short & fun lessons so you can see just how easy it is to create your own custom designs in the Doodler. You’ll get access to these lessons immediately once you start the demo. Here’s a brief overview:
In **Lesson 1**, John will hold your hand and give you a quick tour of the app, introducing you to essential tools you’ll need for your design journey.
**Lesson 2** will teach you how to effortlessly create beautiful Running Stitch and Redwork Designs while also covering some basic embroidery theory.
In **Lesson 3**, we dive into Sketch Work Embroidery, where you’ll learn how to make popular free-hand and artistic embroidery designs in minutes. This creative approach makes once-challenging designs seem easy, all thanks to the user-friendly Design Doodler.
**Lesson 4** focuses on classic Embroidery Designs. You’ll create a Koi design using Satin stitches, learning the automation features while mastering machine-friendly design. John also threw in some exclusive “Bonus content” to show you how to make your designs really stand out and impress with Fill Stitches.
**Lesson 5** will show you how to get creative with professionally pathed Applique Designs. You’ll painlessly create complex designs with underlapping and overlapping objects, showcasing the Design Doodler’s ability to handle a wide range of designs without the headache of a large learning curve.
Plus, as a special gift for you, there’s also a free embroidery design in the materials section in each lesson so you can stitch out what we create together!
Can I use this on MacBook or iMac?
You can use Design Doodler on any computer than runs Windows. If you have a MacBook or iMac, you would need to install and use Windows OS.
Do I need to have an iPad?
No, you don’t have to use an iPad. You can use a computer. Design Doodler will NOT work on non-iPad tablets (such as Android), though.
What is the difference between this and digitizing?
The Design Doodler is a quick and extremely easy way to doodle, sketch, and trace your way to custom embroidery designs without any digitizing. It’s a powerful program that allows you to “draw” your designs into existence.
Design Doodler will create quality designs thanks to the powerful programming that automatically applies proper stitch settings for you… It’s kind of like driving an automatic car instead of manual. Although please note that embroidery digitizing will always produce the highest quality results. Digitizing is more technical, and is best to use when creating highly complex designs or anything that you plan to embroider for production. However, the design doodler is an easier way to turn your imagination into stitches by making designs anytime, anywhere, at any age
What do I need to use Design Doodler? System Requirements
\*\*Please note only the software, not the hardware (computer or Ipad) comes with the Design Doodler.
You’ll need a computer with a Windows Operating system. You can also use the iPad companion app to design on the go with any iPad generation that supports the Apple Pencil (although the apple pencil is not required to use the ap).
**Desktop Recommended PC System Requirements:**
Genuine Intel Pentium IV, 2.8 GHz PC computer (*Or an equivalent PC system)*
Microsoft® Windows® 10/11 64-bit operating system
4 GB RAM

The Design Doodler has been so much fun! It's really addictive and I'm amazed at how a simple doodle becomes a great unique design.Katherine G
I am so excited about this design doodler. I'm having so much fun, and I can make things for my grandbabies and my children that they will love and remember forever.Betty W
I think the Design Doodler is great! It is a fun way to learn, and I am going to show it to my grandchildren, who will probably show me how to doodle better.Allison F
I’m brand new to machine embroidery, and the amount of software out there is absolutely mind-boggling. Compared to $1,000+ software, this was a more reasonable investment to get started. You’ll need to put a couple of hours into the tutorial videos, but this is very easy software to pick up and quality results when transferring to a machine after minimal training. I stitched out a high-quality CUSTOM piece within 4 work hours of downloading the software.Sandra Y
I love the Design Doodler program. I have been looking for something exactly like this for quick appliques and sketchy designs, and it is absolutely perfect!!Prev

### What our customers are saying

I love Design Doodler. It’s so much easier with the pen on the iPad. I like to scribble in free form, which is more my style than tracing accurately.
Dawn K

I purchased Design Doodler and I am absolutely in love with it. All the other digitizing programs either were very difficult to learn or priced out of my budget.

## Frequently Asked Questions
Have a question? We’re here for you!
If I’m not artistic, how can I use the Design Doodler?
The Design Doodler is easy and fun to use for everyone, regardless of artistic ability. If you don’t feel comfortable “doodling” an image, you can always trace one! Design Doodler allows you to upload images to trace with just a few clicks. Imagine tracing a photograph you took during your last holiday get-together with family. Or maybe you want to trace out a picture your child or grandchild drew. All you have to do is snap a picture of what you want to trace, upload the image to Design Doodler, and you’re ready to start tracing! It really is that simple!
What do I need to use Design Doodler? System Requirements
\*\*Please note only the software, not the hardware (computer or Ipad) comes with the Design Doodler.
You’ll need a computer with a Windows Operating system. You can also use the iPad companion app to design on the go with any iPad generation that supports the Apple Pencil (although the apple pencil is not required to use the ap).
**Desktop Recommended PC System Requirements:**
• Genuine Intel Pentium IV, 2.8 GHz PC computer (*Or an equivalent PC system)*
• Microsoft® Windows® 10/11 64-bit operating system
• 4 GB RAM
• Minimum 1 GB hard disk drive space available
• Mouse or Touch/Pen support
**Ipad Recommended iPad System Requirements:**
• An iPad Generation that supports the Apple Pencil
• An operating system of iPadOS 17 or later
• 2 GB Ram
• 200 MB available Hard Drive Space for installation
*You will need internet access to email/share designs you create between the two devices.*
Can I use this on a Macbook or iMac?
You can use Design Doodler on any computer that runs Windows. If you have a MacBook or iMac, you would need to install and use Windows OS.
Do I have to have an iPad?
No, you don’t have to use an iPad. You can use a computer. Keep in mind, however, that Design Doodler will NOT work on non-iPad tablets.
What if I don’t have an iPad or touchscreen computer?
That’s ok! You can create doodles with your computers mouse/cursor. Some people prefer the natural feeling of a tablet pencil or computer drawing pad, but you can certainly make beautiful designs with a normal mouse.
Can I access my design on my computer if I drew it on my iPad?
Yes! You can save your doodles/designs in the iPad app and access them on your computer. In fact, some people may prefer to open their design on their computer to add some finishing touches before sending it to their embroidery machine.
How do I send a design to my embroidery machine?
It’s easy! On your desktop version of the Design Doodler, you simply select the file format you’d like to export your design into. From there, load it on a USB and insert it into your machine as you would with any other embroidery design.
From the Ipad companion app, you’ll save your working files as .jds files. From there, you can share them via email, Skype, etc. Then you can open the .jds file on the desktop version and edit it or save it to any machine format you wish to load into your machine via USB or wireless connection based on how your machine can import embroidery files.
What kinds of embroidery & quilting machines does Design Doodler work with?
Almost every machine! The Design Doodler will export designs to work on virtually any embroidery machine & quilting imaginable, whether you have a single-needle or multi-needle machine.
As long as your **embroidery machine** runs one of the following file formats, our designs will work on your machine:
• PES (Brother / Babylock / Bernina)
• JEF (Janome)
• & VP3. & VIP & SHV (Husqvarna / Viking)
• XXX (Singer)
• DST (Tajima / Most machine brands as an expanded file format)
• EXP (Melco / Bravo / Most machine brands as an expanded file format)
• SEW (Elna/Jamoe/Kenmore)
• EMD (Elna)
• PCS (Pfaff)
• CSD (singer/Poem)
As long as your **quilting machine** runs on one of the following file formats, our designs will work on your machine:
• CQP (Compuquilter)
• DXF (Compatible with most computerized quilting systems)
• HQF (Handi-Quilter Pro-Stitcher)
• IQP (Itelliquilter)
• PAT (Innova Auto Pilot / ABM Innova)
• PLT ((4QB) – QBot / QBOT HPGL Plotter Files)
• SSD (Side Saddle System)
• TXT (HQ Pro-Stitcher, PC Quilter)
What happens with upgrades/updates?
All updates to the software are absolutely free! These include improvements to the software’s functionality, fixing any reported issues, etc.
Although a while away, given how new this software is, upgrades will be optional and likely be charged only if the newly added features justify it. This is because upgrades will include new tools/features, which of course, take a considerable amount of time and resources for our software engineers to put into place. Rest assured that if there is ever a paid upgrade, it will be worth it ?
Can my child or grandchild use Design Doodler?
Absolutely! Design Doodler is very intuitive. Your child or grandchild can doodle on your iPad or computer and then you can use the design for your next embroidery project. How amazing is that?
What is the difference between this and digitizing?
The Design Doodler is a quick and extremely easy way to doodle, sketch, and trace your way toward creating light, fun embroidery designs. It’s a powerful program that allows you to almost “draw” your designs into existence.
While the Doodler generates high-quality designs thanks to its advanced engine that automatically applies proper stitch settings, **digitizing remains the gold standard for the best results**—especially for complex designs or professional production work. If you’re interested in digitizing, check out our cutting-edge [Legacy Digitizing Software](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-software/digitizing/).
We still love digitizing! And recommend that everyone, at the very least, take our [Embroidery Digitizing 101 Course](https://embroiderylegacy.com/machine-embroidery-classes/digitizing-education/free-101-course/) to help improve every aspect of your embroidery life. However, the design doodler is an easy way to turn your imagination into stitches by making simpler designs anytime, anywhere, at any age.
## From doodles to stitches, the possibilities are endless!

Digitizing theory: The missing link behind clean, stunning embroidery
## Digitizing theory: The missing link behind creating stunning embroidery designs
**Embroidery software is only part of it.** Understanding digitizing theory is what really brings your designs to life.

In this beginner-friendly course, you’ll **learn the core rules behind smooth-running, high-quality embroidery** and gain the confidence to create and edit with ease.
## Why is digitizing theory so important?
1
Control your designs
Even the best software & autodigitizing can’t do it all for you. Without theory, you’ll end up with ugly, broken designs.
2
Avoid common pitfalls
Poor digitizing causes puckering, thread breaks, misaligned stitches, and bulky embroidery.
3
Get professional results
It’s a fact: a properly digitized design stitches out smoother, cleaner, and more efficiently than a poorly digitized design.
4
Save time & materials
Poorly digitized files can take longer to stitch, waste thread, and cause excessive wear on embroidery machines.
From history to mastery
## Learn the essential theory every digitizer needs
What you’ll learn in this detailed course:
### What Makes a Design Great?
Not all designs are created equal! Learn the secrets to great designs, including crucial design settings and decisions to consider when digitizing.
### Mastering Stitch Types:
Gain a strong understanding of the three primary stitch types (running, satin, and fill), their variables, and how to use them effectively in designs.
### Creating Flawless Designs:
Learn to select the right stitches and angles, master design mapping, and minimize trims and color changes for cleaner, faster embroidery.
### Fabric Distortion:
Understand how different fabric and thread interact, and learn pull compensation techniques to avoid distortion and ensure quality results.
### Advanced Techniques:
Deep-dive into underlay, locking stitches, and controlling density, plus learn how to edit and adjust designs for optimal results on difficult materials.
### Detailed Designs:
Get tons of tips and tricks from a master digitizer, including how to easily add professional quality details to your designs (or a design you’re editing).

## Frequently Asked Questions
Have a question? We’re here for you!
## Is this course only for beginners?
Digitizing Theory is essential for every embroiderer—regardless of skill level. While this course is designed with beginners in mind, it’s incredibly valuable for anyone who wants to understand the *why* behind every stitch. If you already know how to digitize but have run into issues with your projects, know there’s a better way of doing things, or just need a refresher, revisiting theory can make a world of difference.
## Why is digitizing theory so important?
Great question! **It’s like understanding how to mix colors before you start painting—suddenly everything makes more sense.**
Digitizing Theory is the foundational knowledge behind creating and editing any embroidery design. It’s essential for effective and efficient embroidery because it helps you understand the “whys” behind how embroidery works, not just blindly follow the steps.
Here’s why it matters:
- **Understanding Fabric and Thread:** Different fabrics and threads behave in unique ways. Digitizing theory helps you anticipate how a design will stitch on various materials and how the thread will lay on top of the fabric.
- **Proper Stitching Techniques:** Knowing when and how to use each stitch type is key to ensuring your designs hold up—especially through repeated washing or wear.
- **Design Optimization:** Learning how to break a design into logical layers and balance detail with efficiency can drastically reduce production time and material waste.
- **Prevention of Common Mistakes:** About 90% of embroidery issues stem from poorly digitized designs. With digitizing theory, you can avoid problems like puckering, thread breaks, and poor alignment.
- **Creative Control:** It opens up a world of creative freedom. Instead of being stuck in the same box as everyone else, you can tweak, perfect, and customize designs to match your exact vision.
- **Troubleshooting Confidence:** With a solid grasp of digitizing theory, you can troubleshoot issues more effectively, adjust designs more easily, and even spot issues with other designs before you waste money on them.
## Do I need digitizing software for this course, and if so, which one?
No digitizing software is required. This course focuses on *Digitizing Theory*, which applies universally to all embroidery and isn’t tied to any specific program. Whether you already own a program or are just exploring the craft, you’ll benefit from the lessons.
## Is this course live?
Nope! The course is pre-recorded and polished to perfection. It runs about 3 hours total, and you can watch it whenever it works best for you—no schedules, no pressure.
## Do I need to take this if I own the Legacy Digitizing Software?
Nope—you’re already covered! When you purchase the **[Legacy Digitizing Software](https://embroiderylegacy.com/embroidery-software/digitizing/)**, you get free access to our *Digitizer’s Dream Course 2.0*. It teaches all the same theory covered in this course—just in more depth, with hands-on practice exercises you’ll complete right inside the software for a fully interactive learning experience.
Plus, our software is designed to do a lot of the heavy lifting for you—it’s like driving an automatic instead of a manual. Much of the theory is applied behind the scenes to make digitizing faster and easier.

**Award Winning Embroidery – Since 1958**
# Embroidery Legacy’s Story
Our mission is to advance the beautiful art of machine embroidery by providing top-quality products and proven education to embroiderers everywhere.
**Award Winning Embroidery – Since 1958**
## Embroidery Legacy’s Story
John’s grandparents in their first embroidery factory in 1958. Embroidery machines, like this Shiffli machine, weren’t as small and portable then as they are now.
Founded in the 1950s by John Deer’s grandparents, Embroidery Legacy started as a Schiffli loom factory producing patches and lace for North America’s bridal industry. We created patches for hundreds of companies, including the NHL, MLB, Walt Disney World, the Boy Scouts, and Girl Guides (just to list a few).
[](https://embroiderylegacy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/arrow.svg)
John’s digitizing mentor – A true Schiffli master digitizer at work… This is how John learned how to digitize!
Over 40 years, we expanded to 2 large factories, operating 6 Schiffli Looms and 136 multi-head embroidery machines, employing 54 people, and becoming one of North America’s top embroidery manufacturers, producing over 10 million embroidered goods per year.
[](https://embroiderylegacy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/arrow.svg)
Tradeshows were a big part of our business in 1990s. Check out that first-place EMB Honors plaque!
In the mid-1990s, as commercial embroidery moved overseas, we pivoted to a commercial digitizing production house, known as Punch Perfect, serving global corporations like Coca-Cola, the NFL, and ironically enough John Deere (the tractor company) with John Deer (our CEO) winning 30 awards for his work.
[](https://embroiderylegacy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/arrow.svg)
John has taught tens of thousands of people to digitize. Here he is at a sold-out event in 2018.
Adapting again in the mid-2000s, we shifted our focus towards home embroiderers as John Deer’s Adorable Ideas, creating nearly 30,000 quality designs and running numerous live embroidery events worldwide.
[](https://embroiderylegacy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/arrow.svg)
John celebrates over 40 years of digitizing experience – He’s had lots, and lots, of practice.
Today, as Embroidery Legacy, we honor our heritage by offering an extensive range of **beautiful** embroidery designs, cutting-edge software, premium education, and live events. Our history reflects our commitment to excellence in embroidery.
[](https://embroiderylegacy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/arrow.svg)
## Our highlights
We were proud to be the official producer of Walt Disney World patches—each one digitized with love, full of detail, and stitched with Disney magic.
In 1999, John took home a first-place prize for this Spider-Man jacket (it also took first place for his kids).
John & his grandmother (one of the founders of our company) both share their award-winning embroidered masterpieces.
From MLB to major league stitches—these sports patches were a home run! Creating officially licensed designs like these was an exciting chapter in our embroidery journey.
In 1975, John’s grandfather and aunt working hard to sell patches at trade shows – believe me, we know our patches.
A lasting blend of heritage and technique, our 500+ vintage lace designs were expertly digitized by Swiss Schiffli masters in the 1950s for the bridal industry.
Our second factory in the late 1980s – We had over 136 multi-head Tajima machines running 6 days a week, 24 hours a day.
Embroidery Legacy content has reached over 10 million views on social media platforms. We love to educate and inspire!
John has won 30 awards for his digitizing, including this Dog cap, which won him his first EMB Grand Prize in 1998. He was the first to use three 2mm layers of 3D Puffy Foam.
John wrote the book ‘Digitizing Made Easy’, which simplifies embroidery digitizing and has sold over 60,000 copies!
65 years later we’re still proudly a small family run business
## Meet our family
John Deer – Owner & CEO
Winning 30 commercial digitizing awards, John Deer has been the most awarded embroidery digitizer in the world for over two decades now. As a 4th generation embroiderer, John has an incredibly unique history in the embroidery digitizing industry as he is the last remaining Schiffli Master Digitizer still alive and teaching in North America. John learned and apprenticed under Swiss Schiffli Master Digitizers (then known as “punchers”) over 40 years ago in his grandparents’ factory, before computers even entered the digitizing world.
John has run 2 commercial embroidery factories, owned one of the world’s largest production digitizing houses, wrote the popular book “Digitizing Made Easy”, and coached hundreds of thousands of embroiderers globally.

Are there cheaper multi-needle machines?
Yes, there are offshore machines that are cheaper than a Tajima TMEZ. But, remember the old saying: “you get what you pay for.” When it comes to an important investment like this, cutting corners will only come back to bite you. Tajima machines are built with time-tested quality and high-end components. Most offshore machines have thread & bobbin tension issues, resulting in poor quality stitching and extremely frustrating issues. Many offshore brand machines are also known to break within a couple of years. Tajima machines are known for being high-quality workhorses that outlast virtually anything on the market.
Does the automatic thread management technology in the TMEZ actually work?
Yes, it actually works. In fact, it’s the most precise thread management technology we’ve seen in an embroidery machine. Combined with the automatic thread trimming, presser foot pressure adjustment, and other cutting-edge technology, the TMEZ makes it easier than ever to create professional-quality embroidery. Unlike other machines that boast automatic technology, the TMEZ’s automated features stay true to what they promise, without breaking down or causing an unnecessary level of frustration. It allows even embroidery beginners to work on any material, at high speed and with stable quality.
Is a Tajima machine really worth it in the long-run?
It’s no secret that a Tajima Embroidery Machine is an investment. You wouldn’t go to a shady used car salesman and ask for the cheapest car on the lot for your daily commuter vehicle (unless you absolutely had to). We all know it’ll end up costing you even more money in the long-run because it’ll have problems and eventually break down. Instead, you’d go to a trustworthy dealer and look for a good deal on a reliable vehicle that’s comfortable, had good gas mileage, and comes with a warranty. A Tajima embroidery machine is like that trustworthy vehicle… Plus, it holds great resale value even years down the line! That’s why we put our name behind it.

Why should I get a commercial embroidery machine for at-home use?

They offer faster production, professional-quality stitching, and a larger embroidery area, making it ideal for intricate designs, large materials, and fabrics of any type. With multiple needles, you can create multi-color designs efficiently without constant re-threading. These machines handle a wide range of materials, from hats to thick fabrics like leather. Built for durability, they’re perfect for frequent use and long-term reliability. While the initial cost is higher, the durability, quality, and business potential make it a worthwhile investment.

To all that may be hesitating to join the Legacy Design Club, I definitely recommend you join. Well worth the investment!! I have been a member for a month and have found the designs provided by John Deer are high quality.Barb O
I have not been able to find anywhere else, the attention to detail put into each design so the effect is almost life-like. I cannot speak more highly of John Deer’s Embroidery Legacy Designs. I realize how much work goes into his offerings…his assistance with embroidery problems goes above and beyond.Bambi E
The way these designs sew out is simply wonderful. I am very pleased with the number and variety of designs offered, and there are a number of informative tutorial videos which help tremendously. I am so glad I happened upon Embroidery Legacy.Carolyn W
I have no hesitation in recommending a membership to the Embroidery Legacy Club and I can’t wait to see what each month brings. My first month has been a real voyage of discovery sifting through his magnificent collection of designs.Pam E
I highly recommend Embroidery Legacy Design Club! I am thoroughly enjoying my Embroidery Legacy Design Club membership! Incredible customer service available as well. As a newbie to embroidery I often come upon issues I don’t know how to resolve and I have been able to email my questions to Embroidery Legacy and get quick and helpful responses.Prev

# How to install ESA Fonts into your embroidery software
## ESA fonts will work with Wilcom Hatch, Wilcom E series and Janome version 5 embroidery software. They cannot load into different software brands.
Please note that you’ll need to unzip them first before you can install them into your software.
## How to UNZIP a file or folder
### Right-click on the Zip file and choose Extract All
Step 1
### Choose a location for the folder to be extracted into
Step 2
- If you checked “Show extracted files when complete”, the files or folders within the Zip folder appear.
- If you unchecked the box, a folder or file with the same name (without the Zip) should appear.
- This folder will be your working copy of the data from the Zip file.
### You may keep the Zip file or delete it
Step 3
Once the zip file is extracted a new folder with the Font name will appear without the zipper icon symbol. Inside this folder will be a file with the .ESA format. This is the file you will install into your software.

“The Fun Effects Embroidery course is very helpful. You get the beautiful embroidery files and the perfect instructions. This saves a lot of time and protects your nerves. And you get a lot of tips for the next projects. I love it!“
 – Sabine N.
“Loving the lessons in the Fun Effects Course! I like to think I am a moderately advanced beginner, but being able to add these effects makes me feel like an expert. I have done some of them before, but not with confidence. The way John can explain - and show - how to do these techniques is amazing, he breaks it down into simple steps that anyone can follow. I highly recommend this course, it will add lots of fun to your projects.“
 – Karen G.
“I recently just started learning to embroidery the last year or so. After purchasing the Fun Effects Embroider Course I have learned so much more. The course is very easy to follow and understand especially for some that are still learning as they go. The course was affordably priced and I would definitely recommend it to anyone."
 – Joy H.
“I’ve been embroidering for many years, but I’m mostly self-taught. I’m always searching the internet to find the best way to embroider different things but there is so much conflicting information. Many things I’m just afraid to try because I’m just not sure of the results I will get. When I saw this new Fun Effects course from John Deer, I knew it was what I was looking for. I know that I can trust the suggestions and will get consistent good results. The videos are easy to follow, like having a personal instructor by your side, and the written instructions are a great tool for easy reference. Thank you so much for this course, for the designs to practice each technique, and for making it easy and fun. I recommend this to anyone who is wanting to learn embroidery, or like me, wanting to make sure I’m doing it the best way possible.“

## Frequently Asked Questions
Get the clarity you need before speaking with a Tajima expert.
What’s the difference between the Base Machine Package and the Business Starter Kit?Both packages include the Tajima SAI embroidery machine, but the Business Starter Kit adds valuable accessories to help you start crafting or selling caps right away. Here’s a breakdown:
Base Machine Package *–* Includes:
- Tajima SAI 8-needle embroidery machine
- Tool kit & oil for maintenance and easy setup
- Tajima Writer Plus software for Windows (with auto-digitizing, design templates, and LAN connection)
- Two 11.8″ x 7.8″ hoops (300mm x 200mm)
- Two 3.9″ x 3.9″ hoops (100mm x 100mm)
Perfect if you’re just getting started or planning flat embroidery on items like shirts, bags, and patches.
**Business Starter Kit** *–* Includes everything in the Base Package, plus:
- Two cap attachments for professional-quality hat embroidery
Ideal for small businesses or side hustles looking to offer cap embroidery from day one.
****Is the SAI a good option for beginners or home-based businesses?****Yes—**the Tajima SAI is one of the best entry-level machines for serious beginners** and home-based entrepreneurs. It’s compact, user-friendly, and built with Tajima’s commercial-grade engineering, so it delivers professional results without the steep learning curve.
*Imagine trying to learn photography with a cheap, unreliable camera—you’ll only get frustrated and held back.*
The same goes for embroidery. Starting with a **low-quality machine** can create more problems than progress. The SAI gives you the confidence to learn, grow, and take on real orders without limitations.
Whether you’re upgrading from a single-needle machine or just diving into embroidery, the SAI is the perfect balance of ease, reliability, and capability.
******Can the SAI embroider hats, sleeves, and other hard-to-hoop items?******Absolutely! With the right accessories, the SAI is fully capable of embroidering hats, sleeves, backpacks, and more. We recommend adding the hat hoop or choosing the Business Starter Kit, which includes it.
******Does the SAI come with training and support?******Yes. When you purchase through our trusted partner, RB Digital, you’ll get support and access to local or remote training. Think of them like your embroidery pit crew—always in your corner, making sure your machine (and your business) runs at peak performance.
In addition, you’ll have access to our exclusive learning resources and tutorials, so you’re never left stitching in the dark.
********Is the Tajima SAI compatible with digitizing software?********Yes, the SAI used .DT files, and works with virtually every digitizing software program, including our very own [**Embroidery Legacy Digitizing Software**](https://www.digitizingmadeeasy.com/embroidery-software/digitizing/). You can continue using your preferred platform or explore new tools with us.
**********How big is the embroidery area, and are my old hoops compatible?**********The Tajima SAI offers a generous 12” x 8” (300mm x 200mm) embroidery field—perfect for monograms, left-chest logos, patches, and even small jacket backs.
If you’re upgrading from another brand like Brother, Babylock, or Bernina, your existing hoops may not be compatible with the SAI. But no worries—new hoops are included with your purchase, so you’ll be fully equipped to start stitching right away.
************How does the SAI compare to other embroidery machines?************There’s a reason Tajima embroidery machines have been trusted by many of the world’s top brands for decades—they’re built to deliver not just stunning results, but also unmatched efficiency and reliability.
While other machines may boast more needles or higher stitch speeds, the SAI’s advanced engineering, precision stitch control, and superior tension system allow it to outperform many machines on actual production output and quality.
Curious to see how it stacks up?
Watch the video below to see how the Tajima SAI goes head-to-head against competitors and comes out on top—even those with more needles and higher advertised speeds.
**************Is the SAI truly built to last and scale with my business?**************Yes. Unlike hobby machines, the SAI is built with **Tajima’s commercial-grade engineering**, meaning it can handle high volumes, complex designs, and long-term daily use. In fact, **Tajima machines are known for having some of the best resale value in the industry**—a testament to their durability and reputation.
Whether you’re stitching monograms or producing hundreds of hats, the SAI is a serious machine that grows with you and stands the test of time.

### Quality Digitizing & Embroidery Files
Each character in this alphabet is individually manually digitized; we do not use a TrueType to Stitches conversion utility to create our fonts. Additionally, stitch attributes such as stitch type, density, compensation, and underlay are optimized for each size available. Choose the size closest to what you need. Shrinking the smallest size is not recommended.

Add this premium wildlife embroidery collection to your order today for just **$24.95**, regularly **$241.85**.
***“While you’re learning to create embroidery designs of your own, I thought you might enjoy stitching some of mine too.***
*There’s a certain beauty in nature. The charm of the untamed wilderness and the incredible creatures that call it home have always inspired me. So I thought, why not bring that beauty into machine embroidery and create detailed designs that are truly works of art?”*
John DeerCEO of Embroidery Legacy
Did you know that one of John’s digitizing specialties is creating lifelike nature and wildlife designs? Many of his early commercial digitizing awards were earned with this style of embroidery. Returning to his roots, Forest Legends brings that same realism and artistry together in an unforgettable collection.
## What’s Inside the Forest Legends Collection
### 35 Life-Like Wildlife Designs
Bears, wolves, foxes, deer, owls, eagles, lynx, moose and more — each one digitized to capture fur texture, depth, shading, and life-like expression that makes people stop and look twice.
### 8 Premium Large-Scale Artistic Designs
The crown jewels of the collection — oversized, extraordinarily detailed artistic interpretations of the same wildlife, digitized at a level rarely seen in embroidery. These are genuine showpieces.
### Two Sizes Per Design
Every design comes in two sizes so you can stitch them on anything from a shirt to a tote bag to a large statement piece.
### Award-Winning Digitizing
John has won 30 commercial digitizing awards — many of them with wildlife designs exactly like these. Every stitch has been placed with intention.
### All Major Formats Included
art, dst, emb, exp, hus, jef, pcs, pes, sew, shv, vip, vp3 & xxx — compatible with all popular machine brands.
[8 PREMIUM SHOWPIECE DESIGNS](javascript:void(0))
[PLUS 35 LIFE-LIKE WILDLIFE DESIGNS](#)
## What Makes These Different
### Life-like detail in every stitch
John’s specialty is creating realistic designs that look almost photographic when stitched out. Each animal has been built stitch by stitch to capture the texture and character of the real thing.
### Versatile across any project
Stitch them on clothing, bags, pillows, wall art, home décor, gifts — anywhere you want to make a statement. The two size options mean they fit almost any hoop.
### Designed by the world’s most awarded embroidery digitizer
With 30 commercial digitizing awards and 65+ years of family embroidery history, John brings a level of expertise to these designs that simply cannot be replicated.

*“There’s a certain beauty in nature. The charm of the untamed wildness and the lovely creatures that make it their home are awe-inspiring… So I figured, why not combine their beauty with machine embroidery to create amazingly detailed designs that are truly pieces of art.”*
John Doe CEO of Embroidery Legacy
Did you know that one of John’s digitizing specialties is creating realistic-looking nature and wildlife designs with life-like features? Many of his early digitizing awards were won with these types of designs. Returning to his roots, this collection brings your stitches to life with unforgettably detailed designs that are breathtaking works of art.
## What’s Inside the Forest Legends Collection
### 35 Life-Like Wildlife Designs
Bears, wolves, foxes, deer, owls, eagles, lynx, moose and more — each one digitized to capture fur texture, depth, shading, and life-like expression that makes people stop and look twice.
### 8 Premium Large-Scale Artistic Designs
The crown jewels of the collection — oversized, extraordinarily detailed artistic interpretations of the same wildlife, digitized at a level rarely seen in embroidery. These are genuine showpieces.
### Two Sizes Per Design
Every design comes in two sizes so you can stitch them on anything from a shirt to a tote bag to a large statement piece.
### Award-Winning Digitizing
John has won 30 commercial digitizing awards — many of them with wildlife designs exactly like these. Every stitch has been placed with intention.
### All Major Formats Included
art, dst, emb, exp, hus, jef, pcs, pes, sew, shv, vip, vp3 & xxx — compatible with all popular machine brands.

Save time & materials
Better decisions mean fewer test runs, less wasted thread, and less wear on your machine.
## What You’ll Learn Inside the Course

Key settings and decisions that separate clean stitch-outs from frustrating problems.

### Pro tips & real-world digitizing secrets
Get tons of tips and tricks from a master digitizer, including how to easily add professional quality details to your designs (or a design you’re editing).

## Frequently Asked Questions
Have a question? We’re always here for you!
## Do I need to take this Theory Course before the workshop?
Nope! This course isn’t required before the workshop—you’re going to be thrilled and surprise yourself with what you create either way.
That said, we’re often asked, “What can I do to be best prepared before the workshop begins?” And this course is one of the best ways to set yourself up for success. It gives you a deeper understanding of why designs work the way they do, which makes everything in the workshop smoother, faster, and more enjoyable. If you want to walk in feeling more confident, more in control, and ready to fast-track your results, this is the perfect way to do it.
## Why is digitizing theory so important?
Great question! **It’s like understanding how to mix colors before you start painting—suddenly everything makes more sense.**
Digitizing Theory is the foundational knowledge behind creating and editing any embroidery design. It’s essential for effective and efficient embroidery because it helps you understand the “whys” behind how embroidery works, not just blindly follow the steps.
Here’s why it matters:
- **Understanding Fabric and Thread:** Different fabrics and threads behave in unique ways. Digitizing theory helps you anticipate how a design will stitch on various materials and how the thread will lay on top of the fabric.
- **Proper Stitching Techniques:** Knowing when and how to use each stitch type is key to ensuring your designs hold up—especially through repeated washing or wear.
- **Design Optimization:** Learning how to break a design into logical layers and balance detail with efficiency can drastically reduce production time and material waste.
- **Prevention of Common Mistakes:** About 90% of embroidery issues stem from poorly digitized designs. With digitizing theory, you can avoid problems like puckering, thread breaks, and poor alignment.
- **Creative Control:** It opens up a world of creative freedom. Instead of being stuck in the same box as everyone else, you can tweak, perfect, and customize designs to match your exact vision.
- **Troubleshooting Confidence:** With a solid grasp of digitizing theory, you can troubleshoot issues more effectively, adjust designs more easily, and even spot issues with other designs before you waste money on them.
## Is this course only for beginners?
Digitizing Theory is essential for every embroiderer—regardless of skill level. While this course is designed with beginners in mind, it’s incredibly valuable for anyone who wants to understand the *why* behind every stitch. If you already know how to digitize but have run into issues with your projects, know there’s a better way of doing things, or just need a refresher, revisiting theory can make a world of difference.
## Do I need digitizing software for this course, and if so, which one?
No digitizing software is required. This course focuses on *Digitizing Theory*, which applies universally to all embroidery and isn’t tied to any specific program. Whether you already own a program or are just exploring the craft, you’ll benefit from the lessons.
## Is this course live or does it expire?
Nope! This course is not live and it does not expire. It is pre-recorded and polished to perfection. It runs about 3 hours total, and you can watch it whenever it works best for you—no schedules, no pressure.

These guided, interactive video lessons take the guesswork out of learning new techniques. You’ll laugh and learn from the comfort of your own home, but still feel like John is right there holding your hand through each video.
Please note this is not a digitizing course, but rather an embroidery course to teach you new impressive techniques to create with your machine.
## Don’t waste countless hours searching and watching random videos online.
Our trusted education delivers!
Ever hear it’s best to learn how to do things right the first time? Don’t develop poor habits that could waste time, get you poor results or at worse, damage your machine and equipment. Our education is both time and embroiderer tested!

I so enjoyed the Fun Effects course. I have learnt several new trips to incorporate in my embroidery process. I have always wanted to learn how to do fringe embroidery but I have been anxious to try. But now thanks to John's instruction. I will defintely be following John Deer in the future.

This is my first course with John Deer. John is extremely knowledgeable. His presentation was relazed and easy to understand. He covered a variety of topics and helped me better understand embroidery I have experience with and introduced me to new techniques.

★★★★★
Since taking the Fun Effects Embroidery course with John Deer, I have a better understanding of the whole process. I'm not afraid to try something new like cutaway or fringe designs. The course was well worth my time and money.

John Deer's classes are by far the best embroidery instructional formats in the industry. John's presentation makes it easy to follow and understand each Embroidery subject. No matter your experience level you will learn new/different information with John's presentations. Thanks for sharing your experience with us.

I signed up for the Fun Effects course. I like that I could learn the techniques and make a practically finished products at the same time. The videos are of excellent quality, straightforward, and show each step. Embroidery Legacy has been the best source for me to get past the steep learning curve and actually enjoy the process. I highly recommend the Fun Effects course from Embroidery Legacy.

I just finished the Fun Effects Embroidery Course and I would highly recommend it to anyone who has an embroidery machine. John Deer not only teaches concepts clearly and concisely, but he makes you feel like you are one-on-one with him in your home. I would not hesitate to attend another course, and look forward to the next one.
