Hi everyone for todays project I am showing you how I made this in the hoop coaster/mug rug directly on my Brother Innovis V5LE sewing/embroidery machine without a pattern.
You should be able to do this on any machine that has the frames I show you in the video.
Its all done directly on the machine and in the hoop, bare in mind depending on what size hoops you have you can make this smaller or bigger and turn it into dinner/placemats and you can also change the shape, it really is a versatile little project.
I hope you like it.
Hi everyone so I have another sewing project for you today, I have to say I've been loving using my embroidery machine this year and it seems to be taking over my paper craft projects, I hope you don"t mind.
I do know a lot of you found me because you bought a ScanNCut to help you with appliqué or fabric cutting as your first love and several of you have told me that you have tried paper crafting because of me.
I still love paper crafting and I will continue to make cards and ScanNCut cutting files but I am loving the versatility of machine embroidery and Im loving being able to bring a variety of projects to my youtube channel and blog, I also think finding Creative Fabrica with its vast amount of crafting resources has helped.
Todays project is a free embroidery file from CF and I will put a link below if you want more information or want to join Here
If you are already a member Here is a direct link to the embroidery file.
The file is available in all machine embroidery formats and comes in 4 sizes, small, medium, large and extra large all in the download file. I stitched the small as I just want something to keep a small amount of change in for car parking fees to keep in my car.
If you own an embroidery machine and haven't yet tried in the hoop projects, this is the perfect first design to stitch out, it only has 4 steps and takes just minutes to make I hope you like it.
Links to my sewing machine, stabiliser and the snaps I've used are all in my amazon craft favourites at the top of the page.
Hi everyone for todays project I am showing you how I created the machine embroidery design in embrilliance essentials, from two stitch files I got free in creative fabrica, links to the font and design will be below.
I am not sure I made myself clear in the video but I've never done a left chest placement stitch out before, so I was test stitching this design on an old t-shirt. It has been washed and worn a couple of times, but to be honest it shrunk in the wash so I don't wear it anymore, so its going to be my test garment, but I thought I would record a video for anyone new to machine embroidery.
I know I say when doing ScanNCut projects, test cut before you start on your best card stock, so why wouldn't I do the same when doing embroidery projects, well I suppose for me in the past Ive mainly embroidered towels, tea towels and fabric for bags etc and I think they are more forgiving.
However, I am totally new to clothing I did a black t-shirt recently and it worked out perfectly, I think I was just lucky, it was also a centre front placement which I think is easier.
So this pink t-shirt is going to be my test stitching piece, do any of you do this?
Things Ive learnt from this process
When doing tone on tone stitching I need a design which is more dense in stitches.
If using a bean stitch use either a contrasting colour thread or one that is at least 1 or 2 shades darker, this thread was to close to the colour of my shirt.
For this particular design I needed the design to be at least 1" over and down for better placement.
So do you have any tips, if so please leave a comment.
