@@JSternDesigns I have a PE800 and want to upgrade so I can start doing hats and other items that are difficult on my machine ... any suggestions? I think I'd like the PRS 100, but I think I'd like a multineedle machine more ... maybe 6 needle?
What a fantastic educational embroidery lesson . You are a wonderful teacher. The instruction was very detailed, concise and clear for embroidering on your brother embroidery machine. Thank you for posting this. ❤️
This was such a good tutorial. I have 9 fleece blankets to do for some Police Officers and I wasn't sure what type of stabilizer to use on the back. Now I know. I'm putting their last name and badge # in a block font and I'm also gonna sew a patch that has the City name. I was gonna put the Name on the first line then the patch and badge # on the second line but I Kinda like the way you did yours. Gonna see what looks best. Thanks a bunch!!
You are a cornucopia of talent, ideas and knowledge. This step by step demo didn’t miss a beat. Just so thoroughly explained and demonstrated. I felt reassured and not so intimidated having your instructions/RUclips to guide me. Thank you for you. Thank you for all the time & effort in doing this RUclips.
Thank you great video and love how you explain each step. Love to make blankets for my 14 great grands this Christmas. Just got pe800 brother machine 3 wks ago
I appreciate your method of instruction, Jen. Not only is it fluid, going from one step to the next, I actually feel my confidence in getting back to machine embroidery increasing. I've got an Ellageo from 2002. Time to take the cover off and get sewing! Thanks so much for another great lesson!
:) thanks so much. So happy to hear you're taking the cover off! Double check the maintenance section of your instruction manual to see if anything needs to be oiled before you rev it up!
@@JSternDesigns Love that! It does have that various speed control, but the last time I revved anything up I was in my 20's on a freeway. Been forever. :0)
Thank you SO much! I got a rush order for 2 memorial blankets last night and I’ve never done one. So this was a perfect lesson, and I’m now confident with the technique…. Appreciate your channel and how you share your experience and talents! 😊
So Happy this helped!! I just finished four monograms on antique linens for a customer... I really enjoy machine embroidery! ...Keep me posted if you have specific questions, I love doing Subscriber Q&A video tutorials!
Great tutorial! I have been very undecided how to embroider on a store bought item. I was thinking of using the same stabilizer you used, but was afraid it would not hold up. Glad to see all the comments, and your answers that it does. On one of your comments for a napkin, you said you charged $12.00 for embroidery plus thread and stabilizer, how do you determine how much for thread and stabilizer? I just ran across your video this morning. So glad I did. Thank you!
Thanks Sandee... (I was trying to "mute" all the spam comments, and I think I muted you by accident... Now I'm going to see if I can fix it.) Thanks for watching
Yes... Like the Sulky Solvy water Soluble Stabilizer that I put on top in this tutorial! Definitely helps the stitches to form and not sink into the nap. Thanks for watching :)
Thank you so much, I'm new and all the different stabilizer options are so overwhelming. Would you use these same backer and topper stabilizers on a sweatshirt too?
My pleasure... I'm in the camp of not wanting to see the edges of stabilizer on garments... So I always try to use wash away or a tear away stabilizer. For a sweatshirt, you can use a sticky version of the tear away that will hold the fabric against the stabilizer securely. Here's an amazon affiliate link to one that works really well. (Use the recommended Organ needle that has an "anti-stick" coating to keep the needle from getting gummed up.) amzn.to/3MByy9W If you are stitching out a heavy (dense) design, I would slip a second piece of regular tear away underneath the hoop to add more support. Hope this helps! Thanks for embroidering along with me
This video was so helpful! I’m new to embroidery and am making a baby blanket. The topper that you used, what’s the name of it? And it I only have tear away stabilizer can I just use a piece on top and a piece on the bottom?
I am so happy to hear this helps you! Using tear away stabilizer on the surface of your baby blanket will add more stiffness to the design because you can't remove it from under the design after it's finished embroidering... I like to use Sulky Solvy on the surface... It completely washes away when you launder it. Here's an Amazon Affiliate link: amzn.to/3W7Ltmn You may also want to use a wash away mesh in the hoop. It's more stable than the sulky solvy and also completely washes away. Here's a link for that. amzn.to/3VROW8R (I've used this brand over some more expensive brands... works just as well!) Hope this helps!
Is the wash away stabilizer that is used for the backing adequate to hold up the integrity of the embroidery with washings of the blanket? I need to embroider a couple of fleece blankets and have been so undecided whether to use a cut away poly mesh or the wash away!!
Hi Patty, I embroidered fleece blankets for 4 years in a row for the ESCU Volleyball team senior gifts... They held up using the stabilizer I show in this tutorial :)
How much do you charge for a project like this? Do you have like a price chart? I am doing this for friends but don’t know how to price my products. I love your teaching style, thanks for your time!
:) this project was "Pro Bono" for my daughter's college volleyball team. I have done embroidery projects for a fee. When I do monogrammed napkins (3"x4") design, I charge $12 per napkin. For a larger design like this one... maybe $15 -$20. Don't be afraid to charge what makes it worth your time. It's not just getting it into the hoop... you have to pay attention to it the entire time and then remove the stabilizer. ...Saying that, I'm not a Professional Embroidery Business, so you might want to check with small businesses that do this all the time! Good Luck, and thanks for embroidering along with me!
I don't do much hand embroidery, but it seems to me that if you are working on a surface with a nap like fleece it can help the stitches form on the surface before they sink. If you are using a hoop, the clear topper can protect the surface of the fabric that's being squeezed between the hoop. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching.
My pleasure.... I used OESD Aqua Mesh Washaway stabilizer on the underside. Here's a link to this stabilizer embroideryonline.com/aquamesh-washaway-10x10yd/
...I charge $12-$18 per piece... The more of the same design, the closer to the low end ... I did a set of 24 Monogrammed linen napkins $12 each + thread and stabilizer expenses

Thanks! ...I charge the customer of all the spools of thread & a % of the roll of stabilizer that I use for their projects.
@@JSternDesigns Oh, okay. I had read somewhere to charge for 1 spool of thread, but that doesn't always cover the cost. Thanks so much!
Thank you so much ... your details were very helpful!!!❤

Wow Jen. Great tutorial. I am so looking forward to getting back to MI and my embroidery machine to get started again.
Thanks Diane! ... I'm excited for you to start embroidering again :))
Thank you for this video and explanation of which stabilizers work best with fleece. I have been wondering about that.
