    RUclips has everything!!!! I spent $70 on 2 sets of scrubs and a scrub jacket; the tops all had the job monogram on it. Well, the job didn't work out and I was going to take them to the seamstress in the neighborhood to see if she could get the monogram off. Well, found this video, worked perfectly!

      I love RUclips for that reason. Did you put your own monogram on? It’s been 7 months so I guess you got it taken care of by now. I could put a new one on for you for free if you don’t have a machine. I live on the east coast 🇺🇸

    • @murilocoelhopa
      @murilocoelhopa 4 года назад +3

      It would depend on the size of the embroidery you want to cover, if it's about the same size of the new one, it would be too thich and would show. Otherwise, if it is a very small embroidery you want to cover with a bigger one, you could use a patch - a pre made embroidery that you could just "glue" (usually they're heat activated) or sew above it. If you want to embroider directly above the fabric, it would be better to take off the old embroidery.

    I have a very nice older Harley heavy jacket made from cowhide my dad gave me and it has a faded out old harley patch on the rear of the jacket and unfortunately it's not sewn like your patches are, it didn't go through the lining so I can't do the procedure like you did. It's looks like the only way to remove it would be to do it on the leather. Do you know if there's a way to do it without damaging the leather to bad? I know it may leave some tiny holes but I have some leather filler that can go in the spots and we can use some black dye on it.

    • @LetsLearnToSew
      @LetsLearnToSew  3 года назад +1

      They probably removed the lining when they put the patch on, or it was sewn on before the lining. I would be worried about damaging the leather. I'd try taking it to a shoe repair shop because they usually also do leatherwork. Most shops will at least tell you if it can be done and give you an estimate.

    I got this really nice rain jacket from work that’s like a waterproof polyester type material. Eventually when I quit this job I still want to wear this jacket since I get to keep it but I really hate the big ugly (like slightly larger than the diameter of a golf ball) solid embroidered logo. I’m worried that with the material, that if I remove the embroidery it will cause the jacket to be full of holes in that area since it’s such a dense embroidery design. Do you think that kind of material would do that?
    My other thought is maybe getting some black fabric dye and dying over the embroidery to try to hide it best I can since it’s a white and lime green design.

    Very helpful thank you! I figured out that this also works on embroidery designs where the satin stitching is on both sides (e.g. you can’t see the bobbin stitching but a razor still works just fine to cut up all the satin stitching on the back)
    Also if you working with average shirt or thinner fabric, be very careful with the razor bc it’s easier than you think to cut a hole in the fabric. Learned this the hard way even though I thought I was being careful 😅

    • @CraftAddictedWendy
      @CraftAddictedWendy Месяц назад

      That’s called a “soft cover” - ironed onto the back of an embroidered design to protect your skin from the roughness of the stitches and the stabilizer. It’s usually extremely thin and sheer so I’d be very delicate with it at first to see how welded on it is. I’d start in the middle of the design on the back, find the thickest part of the design, first use a seam ripper holding it nearly flat to the fabric, and GENTLY poke a small hole ONLY through the cover and a few stitches using the larger side of the seam ripper blade. I’d keep doing that until you remove about a 1” round of stitches to get a starting point; then gently try shaving the surrounding stitches a bit at a time. If it’s a light embroidery design, the cover may have welded to parts of the garment fabric - I don’t know of a way to remove that. You can try asking a dry cleaner in that case.

      It depends on the fabric. I usually wipe the area with a damp cloth and let it dry to see if that helps. As I mention in the video it can take several washes for the marks to go away and sometimes they don't go away. It often depends on how long the embroidery design was on the fabric and the type of fabric.

    The embroidery did come off, but there are little holes in the shirt. What do I do?

    what about on a beanie?

      If it's a knitted beanie, I don't think it would work because you'd cut the fibers that hold the beanie together.

    Any ideas on how to fix a hole on the fabric after poking through the embroidery?

      it is 100% polyester

      Is it a small hole made from the embroidery needle creating the design you removed or an actual rip/hole?

    You can just use wahl clippers instead that works great too and it's quicker results

      Yes, you can but many people don't have clippers at home.
