    I believe you can trace many other ways more easy.
    *you print out picture and trace
    *Get a digital pen (like vacom) and trace it. then print on directly on the paper

    Love this!! So true what you’ve said that we’re not machines so it’s never going to be perfect, I think I got really disheartened the first time I tried freehand as i was expecting it to look like an embroidery machine!! Looks amazing xx

    Lovely video :) Have you considered using Water Soluble Stabilizer 'paper' to transfer your design instead of tracing paper? Because it washes out afterwards, it might save you some time getting rid of the tracing paper after.

  • @courtneybergersen5734
    @courtneybergersen5734 2 года назад +1

    I’m very keen to try this! Appreciate the tutorial.
    Stupid question - but how did you put the back of the cushion fabric under the machine to not stitch it together ? (If that makes sense)
    Was the right side of the cushion cover the opening ?

    • @katescustoms9908
      @katescustoms9908  2 года назад

      Awh thanks so much!
      So the cushion cover had quite a big zip on so I could fit either side through my machine so it didn’t sew together if that makes sense! But sometimes I just take the cushion cover apart and sew it back together once the embroidery is done 🥰 makes it a little easier but a tad more time consuming 💚

  • @gunnbjrgfoosns2281
    @gunnbjrgfoosns2281 2 года назад

    Do you use any extra fabric or something on the back side sometimes to strengthen the area where the embroidery is? I don’t know if I explained this very well😄 amazing tutorial btw! ✨

    • @katescustoms9908
      @katescustoms9908  2 года назад

      I understand what you mean! As the material of the cushion cover had no stretch I didn’t need to put backing / stabiliser on this. If you were using a fabric with stretch (I.e T-shirt material) then you would need to use stabiliser on the back side yes! 😊 I’m glad you liked the video 😍

      That is a rather strange question, it's sort of the basic of basics in machine sewing. Because it's so strange a question, I remember I have read it before in another sewing video. Are you by any chance a person with a foot fetish?

    Not masking tape, painters tape. Masking is brutally sticky and makes a mess. If that’s all you have slap a piece down on your pants leg (or any fabric) and that’ll occupy about half the adhesive with lint once you pull it off. Don’t want sticky goo on your laptop.
    Yes, there’s a difference between masking and painters tapes. She has painters in this video.
