My sister just sent me some machine embroidered towels, and this video explained the whole process much better than several other ones I watched. I worked in a machine shop with computer-controlled machine tools for years, and I'm fascinated by how the same kind of machine positioning and mapping software technologies are being applied to sewing machines, and are available for use in our own houses! And just as I admire quilters and knitters, I'm impressed by all of you sewing machine enthusiasts out there creating such complex and beautiful patterns on fabric.

Great video and very informative. It has never occurred to me to put the sticky stabilizer on the back. I was taught to hoop it and then use a sharp object to cut it out around the edges. Kudos! One thing, it looks like you might still have the plastic removable film on your hoop.
Thank you for sharing your talent and showing me how to do this, I have wanted to try this however I didn't even know where to begin. Again thank you so much.

Great. I was so satisfied to discover I am having trouble centering and hooping on a center line, only to find out later my stich h out is off to the left ot something. And that blind hooping! Eeek, I have to calm myself down trying to do that. I do use fabric markers for cross lines and center. I still was happy that you were struggling with that aspect also. I don’t feel so alone now. I also liked how you can measure hoop edge to fixed point to find out if hoop will be straight. My Biggest annoyance is after washing a few times, the design starts sticking out, curling and just being funky. I would like to know if you have any issues like that, maybe show some examples of hooping, stitching, stabilizers and washing afterwards. Thank you for a nice clear video.
Sheri, thanks for the suggestions. Hooping is a pain! For the washing, it could be that you need more layers of stabilizer. Try floating a cut away stabilizer underneath. If you are stitching a dense pattern you would need more layers of stabilizer.
Good job on the video. Your explanation is simple, yet precise. Like another said, I've also messed up t-shirts or onesies and sewed them together. You explained and showed every detail. The only thing I would do in addition to your video, is to use the jumbo clips to hold the fabric out of the way. Thanks for your video.
+jamiekrista I found these on Amazon. www.amazon.com/World-Weidner-Pieces-Quilting-Crafting/dp/B015GESEDO/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1459339488&sr=8-8&keywords=quilting+jumbo+clips. I have very small clips and think I need to get some of these to try the larger ones which would probably work better!
I enjoyed the video and it was very helpful as I am about to do my first T.Shirt embroidery so I would like to thank you for making this video. Your's thankfully from Tony in England.
Thanks Tony! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. We have a lot of other machine embroidery videos here: ruclips.net/p/PLmfp5aNSxEF1OZuTYImhKJmqiWqNwpYIM. Let us know if there is another video you'd like to see. Also, don't forget to subscribe to our channel so you don't miss new videos!
Love the video my question is I noticed you used the Sulky Sticky + which is a tear away. I thought you were suppose to use cut away on stretchy materials. I swear this stabilizer has me so confused. I don't know what to use on what.
+Djidade Muhavi I have never had any problems with the tear away stabilizer as it doesn't wash out the same as cut away. For t-shirts though, I think it's important to use the sticky back stabilizer because the t-shirt can stretch and move in the hoop while embroidering. The sticky back keeps this from happening.

I have THE Dream Machine by Brother and I hoop the sticky-back then secure it on each perimeter with long pins (basically same effect) then to keep the fabric on the outside of the hoop from interloping into the needle bay I use wooden clothes pins to keep the loose fabric from 'falling' into the needle bay. Good video -- thanks.
Thanks for the very helpful tutorial. I imagine you use white thread only for the bobbin throughout the changes of colour and make sure it is full prior to starting? Would have liked to see the adding of the soft layer to minimize the “roughness” of the stabilizer/embroidery work in the video that you mention at the end of the video .
I use white bobbinfil thread in the bobbin. If it runs out in the middle, the machine will stop and prompt you to fill the bobbin. The soft layer is just a soft iron on fabric that is ironed onto the back side of the t-shirt covering the stitches. Happy Embroidery!
thank you for taking the time to make this tutorial. i wanted to ask, If I wanted to do a large design on a shirt similar to the gucci kat embroidered shirt could I use this exact embroidery machine?
I enjoyed this - very easy to follow! Thank you! I am new to embroidery, having just bought a new machine .... how do you change thread colors while embroidering?
Norma, congratulations on the purchase of a new embroidery machine! You will have so much fun with it. When you are embroidering, the pattern has stop points between each color. So, when it's done with a color, the machine will stop and prompt you to change to the next color. You take out the current color thread and then thread the new color on the machine. Then press the button and it will start stitching again! Happy Embroidering!
I recently bought a baby lock and its a total failure :( hubby thinks I should have bought a less expensive machine since I have only used it once. you make it look so simple. If only someone local could teach me how to use my machine
+Yahayra Lara Thanks for your comment. It does take practice to learn the proper way to stabilize and embroider but it's a lot of fun! Don't be afraid and just try it out. If you bought your machine from a dealer, they should offer you lessons on how to use your machine. If you can, take advantage of them! You can watch other videos too which might help you learn. Happy Sewing!
Hi Gayle! I'm glad you enjoyed our video. There are many places where you can purchase designs online. I have a series of videos which show different functions of a Brother Innovis series (www.needlepointers.com/main/youtubecontent.aspx?youtubepageid=98) and it also includes how to download designs and how to copy them to a USB which you may find helpful. We have a collection of links to free machine embroidery designs (www.needlepointers.com/main/showarticles.aspx?navid=1496) that can be downloaded. These designers will also have paid designs you can download. And on our Machine Embroidery Videos page (www.needlepointers.com/main/showarticles.aspx?navid=2981) you will find lots of other tutorials and project ideas you can make with your embroidery machine. Happy Stitching!
Sweatshirts and hoodies are also pretty stretchy so I recommend the sticky back stabilizer. You can hoop sweatshirts/hoodies in the same manner as the t-shirt or you can float it.
Great vid. Really thorough. I'm new at this, does the machine ask when to change the thread? How many colors of different thread can by loaded at one time? And what machine do you recommend for a beginner?
Hi JW! Yes, the machine stops between each color so that you can change the thread. I have a single needle machine so these can only have one thread at a time. There are multi-needle machines which you can load multiple colors at once and then it can automatically switch for you. I would recommend visiting your local sewing machine dealer and have them show you the machines they have. They usually will include lessons if you buy a machine from them (ask about this because lessons can be really valuable). The dealer can also recommend a good machine for your needs. Happy Stitching!
you have a nice machine, I'm going to buy me a BROTHER SE400 EMBROIDERY SEWING MACHINE IN 2 WKS. STARTING OUT, I'M VERY NEW TO THIS. BY THE WAY NICE T-SHIRT.
Thanks for the information. I've been told that to embroider a t-shirt you'll need a tearaway stabilizer under the t-shirt and a washaway stabilizer over it. Do you ever tried this method and come to the conclusion that the sticky tearaway stabilizer alone is the best or would you consider both methods to be succesfull?
Daniela, the sticky tearaway stabilizer is a tearaway stabilizer and I feel it works better than a normal tearaway because it keeps the t-shirt from stretching or moving in the hoop as it's being sewn. If you are sewing a dense pattern, more layers of tearaway (or cutaway) can be floated underneath the hoop to add more stability. There is no need to have a washaway on t-shirts unless they are fluffy or something other than normal t-shirt material. Washaway is used to hold down the pile of a fluffy fabric like a towel. This allows the stitches to stay up above the fabric and not disappear within the fabric. The washaway does not provide any stability once the t-shirt is washed. Happy Sewing!
Thank you so much for making this video! You answer so many questions for me. I like your idea about putting fusible interfacing on the back because the backing drives my 8 year old daughter crazy! What weight of interfacing do you generally use on the back?
Thank you so much for your video. I was perplexed how I could embroidery a kid's t-shirt and not sew it to the back. LOL. Now I know! I've also never used stabilizer before so that helped me a lot. Any ideas how to embroider a pocket on a man's shirt?
Lois, I have never embroidered on a pocket before but the only options I can see are to sew through the whole pocket making it unusable or you would have to remove the pocket, embroider it and then sew it back on very carefully. If the pocket is not being used, then embroidering over the pocket and thereby closing it would be just fine.
Thanks for all of the info, 2 questions: Does the bobbin thread need to match the top thread color when embroidering in this method? and, how do you transition from one thread color to the next? thx so much!!
Hi. I'm glad you liked our video! When you embroider, you usually use white bobbin fill in your bobbin. Bobbin fill is lighter than normal thread so you can get more onto the bobbin so you have less refills/changes. You would not want to have to change the bobbin after every thread. The machine stops after each thread color is done. So, you then take the thread out and put in the next color which is indicated by the machine/pattern. Don't forget to subscribe to our channel so you don't miss any videos!
Hello (sorry, it doesn't say your name here), I bought the sticky stabilizer, but all the videos I watched, one sticks it to the back of the hoop, then stick the shirt area to the sticky stabilizer, no? - That was shown in videos for the metal/magnetic hoops, anyway. :) Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
The other people are floating to hoop the project and that's just another way to hoop. When I do t-shirts, I prefer to hoop the shirt also. Either way works for hooping and you can use your preference.
Are there any vertical barriers that can be added to these hoops that would keep the fabric neatly out of the way? Kind of like a small hoop wall that can be inserted once it is attached to the machine.
Great vid. In the past my tshirts have puckered a little. I'm looking forward to trying your method. Also sending to my DD -- I think she has same machine. Will any sticky tear a way work? Thank you.
We are glad you liked the video! I have not tried other brands of sticky back stabilizer but I would expect them to work as well. Happy Stitching and thanks for the sub!
This would depend on your pattern and where you want to place it. This Embroiders Helper may be helpful to you: www.needlepointers.com/main/youtubecontent.aspx?youtubepageid=505
Jenny, please go to our page www.needlepointers.com/main/youtubecontent.aspx?youtubepageid=54 on this project and near the end are links to the products I discussed. Thanks for watching our video!
Adan, the machine is programmed with a design and when the designer creates it, they set the colors to use for each section. So, the machine just knows when to stop. I pick the actual thread colors to use and thread them onto the machine after each stop.
Well, the sticky backed stabilizer is sticky so it would stick to the hoop when you are hooping. I don't want to have to try to get it off afterwards. If you want to float your t-shirt, I would hoop a tear away or cut away stabilizer and put the sticky back on your t-shirt and then float it.
For the needle of the machine, if it has ever broken for you, which one would u recommend buying? Because mine broke and I'm not sure what kind of needle to purchase
Hi tinykidvale ! Great question! I prefer to use Schmetz Embroidery needles size 90 /14 when I embroider. I have a link to them near the end of this page: www.needlepointers.com/main/youtubecontent.aspx?youtubepageid=54. Happy Embroidering!

Then press the button and it will start stitching again! Happy Embroidering!
Thank you very much!!
Needlepointers,I never dreamed of sticky stabilizer, duh,of course! Thank you😁😁😁🙄🤣🤣🤣🤣
You are welcome! Sticky stabilizer is great for stretchy items!
Love this video!! Thanks for sharing 💋
That was brilliant thank you!
You're very welcome!

Wow this is awesome, thank you so much is extremely helpful!!!!
So glad!
Thanks! Very helpful!
Great video thanks
I recently bought a baby lock and its a total failure :( hubby thinks I should have bought a less expensive machine since I have only used it once. you make it look so simple. If only someone local could teach me how to use my machine
+Yahayra Lara Thanks for your comment. It does take practice to learn the proper way to stabilize and embroider but it's a lot of fun! Don't be afraid and just try it out. If you bought your machine from a dealer, they should offer you lessons on how to use your machine. If you can, take advantage of them! You can watch other videos too which might help you learn. Happy Sewing!
beautiful job
Thank you! 😊
good job
Love that design, where can you download designs, for NV800E Brother embroidery machine?
Hi Gayle! I'm glad you enjoyed our video. There are many places where you can purchase designs online. I have a series of videos which show different functions of a Brother Innovis series (www.needlepointers.com/main/youtubecontent.aspx?youtubepageid=98) and it also includes how to download designs and how to copy them to a USB which you may find helpful. We have a collection of links to free machine embroidery designs (www.needlepointers.com/main/showarticles.aspx?navid=1496) that can be downloaded. These designers will also have paid designs you can download. And on our Machine Embroidery Videos page (www.needlepointers.com/main/showarticles.aspx?navid=2981) you will find lots of other tutorials and project ideas you can make with your embroidery machine. Happy Stitching!
For sweatshirts/hoodies, what stabilizer would you recommend? Also, is it the same process as embroidering on a t-shirt?
Sweatshirts and hoodies are also pretty stretchy so I recommend the sticky back stabilizer. You can hoop sweatshirts/hoodies in the same manner as the t-shirt or you can float it.
Great vid. Really thorough. I'm new at this, does the machine ask when to change the thread? How many colors of different thread can by loaded at one time? And what machine do you recommend for a beginner?
Hi JW! Yes, the machine stops between each color so that you can change the thread. I have a single needle machine so these can only have one thread at a time. There are multi-needle machines which you can load multiple colors at once and then it can automatically switch for you. I would recommend visiting your local sewing machine dealer and have them show you the machines they have. They usually will include lessons if you buy a machine from them (ask about this because lessons can be really valuable). The dealer can also recommend a good machine for your needs. Happy Stitching!

you have a nice machine, I'm going to buy me a BROTHER SE400 EMBROIDERY SEWING MACHINE IN 2 WKS. STARTING OUT, I'M VERY NEW TO THIS. BY THE WAY NICE T-SHIRT.
+Rhonda Thomas Congrats on your new machine purchase! I hope you have a fun time with your new machine.
This is how you make a video !!
Thank you for posting this video. It was a huge help to me.
Thanks for the information. I've been told that to embroider a t-shirt you'll need a tearaway stabilizer under the t-shirt and a washaway stabilizer over it. Do you ever tried this method and come to the conclusion that the sticky tearaway stabilizer alone is the best or would you consider both methods to be succesfull?
Daniela, the sticky tearaway stabilizer is a tearaway stabilizer and I feel it works better than a normal tearaway because it keeps the t-shirt from stretching or moving in the hoop as it's being sewn. If you are sewing a dense pattern, more layers of tearaway (or cutaway) can be floated underneath the hoop to add more stability. There is no need to have a washaway on t-shirts unless they are fluffy or something other than normal t-shirt material. Washaway is used to hold down the pile of a fluffy fabric like a towel. This allows the stitches to stay up above the fabric and not disappear within the fabric. The washaway does not provide any stability once the t-shirt is washed. Happy Sewing!
@@Needlepointers thank you so much
Thank you so much for making this video! You answer so many questions for me. I like your idea about putting fusible interfacing on the back because the backing drives my 8 year old daughter crazy! What weight of interfacing do you generally use on the back?
Hi Gina! I just use lightweight fusible interfacing on the back. The same stuff you use for interfacing in clothing.
@@Needlepointers good to know
Wow that so awesome. I wanna order one of these
What kind of machine can I get pls?
Hi! I have some info on purchasing machines here: www.needlepointers.com/main/youtubecontent.aspx?RUclipsPageID=54.
Wow! Considering of buying one! What machine do you use ? Thank you for this awesome video!
Hi! I have a Brother Innovis 4000D. Find out more information here: www.needlepointers.com/main/youtubecontent.aspx?youtubepageid=54
Thank you so much for your video. I was perplexed how I could embroidery a kid's t-shirt and not sew it to the back. LOL. Now I know! I've also never used stabilizer before so that helped me a lot. Any ideas how to embroider a pocket on a man's shirt?
Lois, I have never embroidered on a pocket before but the only options I can see are to sew through the whole pocket making it unusable or you would have to remove the pocket, embroider it and then sew it back on very carefully. If the pocket is not being used, then embroidering over the pocket and thereby closing it would be just fine.
+Needlepointers what machine model are you using?
Nerd Kink -- I have a Brother Innovis 4000D machine.
So pretty
Thank you I loved your video
Very Good
Hi, really nice work 🤍 and also wondering where is your blank T-shirt from???
I buy blanks from Joann Fabrics or Michaels Crafts. Watch for a sale to get a good price on them! They usually have many colors.
Thanks for all of the info, 2 questions: Does the bobbin thread need to match the top thread color when embroidering in this method? and, how do you transition from one thread color to the next? thx so much!!
Hi. I'm glad you liked our video! When you embroider, you usually use white bobbin fill in your bobbin. Bobbin fill is lighter than normal thread so you can get more onto the bobbin so you have less refills/changes. You would not want to have to change the bobbin after every thread. The machine stops after each thread color is done. So, you then take the thread out and put in the next color which is indicated by the machine/pattern.

Needlepointers amazing!! Thank you so much!! Can't wait to try it.....
Hello (sorry, it doesn't say your name here),
I bought the sticky stabilizer, but all the videos I watched, one sticks it to the back of the hoop, then stick the shirt area to the sticky stabilizer, no? - That was shown in videos for the metal/magnetic hoops, anyway. :)
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
The other people are floating to hoop the project and that's just another way to hoop. When I do t-shirts, I prefer to hoop the shirt also. Either way works for hooping and you can use your preference.
I realy like this video it's helpful
Glad you liked it! Don't forget to subscribe to our channel and click the 'like' button on videos you like!
Are there any vertical barriers that can be added to these hoops that would keep the fabric neatly out of the way? Kind of like a small hoop wall that can be inserted once it is attached to the machine.
I have not heard of one. Using clips and tucking it back works best for me.
Great vid. In the past my tshirts have puckered a little. I'm looking forward to trying your method. Also sending to my DD -- I think she has same machine. Will any sticky tear a way work? Thank you.
Am subbing!
We are glad you liked the video! I have not tried other brands of sticky back stabilizer but I would expect them to work as well. Happy Stitching and thanks for the sub!
Thank you so much, how do I know how far down I need to put the hoop from the neckline?
This would depend on your pattern and where you want to place it. This Embroiders Helper may be helpful to you: www.needlepointers.com/main/youtubecontent.aspx?youtubepageid=505
Could you share links to the stabilizer and also the iron on material you mentioned for the inside of the shirt? Thanks!!
Jenny, please go to our page www.needlepointers.com/main/youtubecontent.aspx?youtubepageid=54 on this project and near the end are links to the products I discussed. Thanks for watching our video!
Your videos are really helpful and I will love for u to make a video showing how to switch color of threats when making a t-shirt,please
I will make a video soon.
I have a new video which shows how you switch colors on an embroidery machine. ruclips.net/video/7BTWMLKcBO0/видео.html
Very good I rally like your video
Best video ever!!
Hola, muy linda la maquina bordadora, no la encuentro por ebay, que piensas de la singer futura quartet? gracias por el video, me encantó...saludos
Sorry, I don't have any info on that machine.
Muchas gracias por contestarme, bendiciones
How does the embroidery know which color of thread to use for the design? incredible video btw.
Adan, the machine is programmed with a design and when the designer creates it, they set the colors to use for each section. So, the machine just knows when to stop. I pick the actual thread colors to use and thread them onto the machine after each stop.
How much thread did this take to do? (Love your video btw!)
I can't really say. It was much less than a spool for each color.
+Needlepointers de
Do u have to change thread after each color is finish?
very nice.
wow this is good
You are amazing
nice explaination. If using sticky back stabilizer, is there any reason you wouldnt hoop the stabilizer then stick the t-shirt on hoop??
Well, the sticky backed stabilizer is sticky so it would stick to the hoop when you are hooping. I don't want to have to try to get it off afterwards. If you want to float your t-shirt, I would hoop a tear away or cut away stabilizer and put the sticky back on your t-shirt and then float it.
For the needle of the machine, if it has ever broken for you, which one would u recommend buying? Because mine broke and I'm not sure what kind of needle to purchase
Hi tinykidvale ! Great question! I prefer to use Schmetz Embroidery needles size 90 /14 when I embroider. I have a link to them near the end of this page: www.needlepointers.com/main/youtubecontent.aspx?youtubepageid=54. Happy Embroidering!
nice I enjoy it, Thanks
