It is easier than you might think! In fact, I have a new video I shared today with an “improved” way of putting the card together. Hope you find it helpful! ruclips.net/video/A4kCOGl1kME/видео.htmlsi=ufO3dBH-wd2wZ4xi
OMGosh, I have made cards for years and a few times made hand stitches. I just purchased my for embroidery machine and can't wait to try it on cards. Thank you for doing this video.
I’ve learned a few more techniques since sharing this tutorial. One, you can embroider on a piece of cardstock, watercolor paper , etc, and then adhere it to the front of a card. Also, you can hoop the card using removable tape and don’t have to use adhesive spray! Have fun!!
Such a good instructional video. So nice to see it all very upclose with repetition instructing too. I am wanting to purchase an embroidery machine and this PE770 looks good. Gonna research that.
yeah, I have an Innovis 4000D and it has been great for many many years but no parts available anymore. I'm thinking about investing in the PE900. I have lots of hobbies and really can't justify the cost of those. very pricey machines that have ALL the latest and greatest. I have never made any of the cards but you have inspired me. @@TheBirchCottage
Lovely job, but Brother usually says that it is better to draw your thread from your colour change after cutting it, through from under the needle instead of from the top! This safeguards your tension attributes on the machine. Hope you find this helpful, Rosemary.
Thanks, Rose. Since I am not using dense designs and I'm waiting until after a few stitches are taken, I don't believe that trimming the jump threads will impact the tension of my machine. However, your advice is definitely something to keep in mind. I appreciate your helpful tip! Pam Baker The Birch Cottage
@@TheBirchCottage hi there, I was not commenting on cutting jump stitches but was commenting on cutting the final cotton and pulling it upwards through the threading track. There are warnings on doing this because it can weaken the spring in this tract and cause stitching problems. The advice I have seen on my machines have always recommended pulling the thread out from the needle end carefully, so that this does not cause any damage as it follows the same process as the machine cotton when sewing! I hope this explanation makes sense to you. Rose
This was great. A few months ago I purchased a Brother PE700ii and this week went a bought a new BabyLock Flare. Now since I also do paper crafts, I think I will keep my 700 for this! I have sewn on cards and journals but didn’t even think about using my old machine for that. Thanks for sharing!
Hi, Margaret. Glad this video tutorial was helpful. More open designs certainly work well with cardstock. But I have found that designs like these flowers work just as well! You’re gonna love making these cards!
THANKS. Have been told that it is not a good idea to pull thread back from the top, as it can alter the tension. It is recommended to cut the thread and pull it through the needle.
I think this is the best video on embroidered cards; I've watched a lot of them but this makes sense to me. Each stage was clearly shown and explained. Thank you.
I am seeing this for the first time also and am anxious to try it. Thank you so much for your thorough detailed instructions. I actually have no questions thanks to your wonderful demonstration! 😍
Take a look at 14:46 in the video. You will see that I glue a piece of thinner cardstock paper to the back of the embroidery. Alternatively, you can embroider on a 5x7” piece of cardstock and glue that to the front of the card.

Hi, Fay. No special needle required. I usually change my needle with just about every new project or at least every time I have to change the bobbin. I hope this helps!
I’m new to machine embroidery, just unboxed my new toy. Love your video. What needle do you use? Is there just one embroidery needle for all fabrics you sew one ? (And cardstock 🫣, I had no idea you could do that: loving it)
Thanks, Suzanne, for taking the time to comment! I don't know if cutting the jump threads as you go is the way you are "supposed" to do machine embroidery, but it certainly makes my life easier. And it makes for a prettier embroidered project - I think.
Those were my thoughts when I first saw embroidery designs made for cardstock. Only I really didn’t care for most of the designs I saw. So I tried other designs that weren’t very dense and they worked beautifully! I’m definitely hooked!
Cute project and very well done with your instructions through your video. Although I have a different machine, I found your information very helpful. I would bet if you put Brother PE770 in your title, if allowed, you'd possibly have a ton more views too - the step by steps you do with your machine are awesome! Thank you for your video!
I just got my PE1900 and would love to try this. Are there any suggestions as to what kind of embroidery patterns to look for? I know they can't be too dense. Thanks.
You are definitely right! Just look for designs that do not contain a lot of satin stitches. Some doodle, sketchwork, redwork, and bluework designs work well, too! Although, if you have a denser design that you REALLY want to use, you can always embroider it as usual onto fabric and then stitch the fabric onto the face of the card.
Oh WOW! I'm so glad I've found you. I find my embroidery machine quite intimidating and I think the machine knows that! I also make cards and your video has really inspired me to overcome my fears and give this a try. Your instructions are so clear. Would you change your needle with every project? Thank you so much
I don’t change my needle with every project, more like every 2 or 3 projects or anytime I switch between material types. So if I’m stitching cards on paper stock or cardstock, then stitch a project on fabric, I would definitely change my needle. I hope this helps!
Thank you! I love embroidering on cards, too. I did watch a video tutorial recently where they embroidered on a 5"x7" piece of cardstock and then adhered that to the folded card. I'll have to give that a try and see which I like better.
When it comes time to change colour of your thread, you shouldn't be pulling it back through your machine as you could sendup having small bits of fluff through out, what you should be doing is cutting up top and pulling through the bottom section and discard, otherwise a great educational video, thank you
Really pretty. Hint: we don't need to watch you thread your machine every colour change. We all have different machines to thread....very good instructions on embroidery.
The designs are from Embroidery Library. You’ll find them here: Flourishing Wildflowers - www.emblibrary.com/design/flourishing-wildflower-stems-m19348 Delicate Wildflowers - www.emblibrary.com/design/delicate-wildflower-stems-m19358 Hope this helps!!
Tricia, the designs specifically made for cards, of course, work best. But I have found any design that is more open and doesn’t include a lot of satin stitches. The reason is that you don’t want there to be so many stitches that it ends up cutting the cardstock. Hope this helps!
Love these designs, are these specific for cardstock? I can see the designs on embroidery library but they are not in the cardstock section? Thanks for a great video
Hi, Paula. These designs are not specifically for cardstock, but as you can see, they work great with cardstock. Embroidery Library actually has a lot of designs that aren’t specifically labeled “for cardstock”, but that doesn’t mean they can’t be used with cardstock.
Yes both designs are from Embroidery Library. Delicate wildflower stems emblibrary.com/design/delicate-wildflower-stems-m19358 and Flourishing wildflower stems emblibrary.com/design/flourishing-wildflower-stems-m19348
No, this design is not a specific design for card stock. They do sell some designs that are specifically made for embroidering cards. I just look for designs that are not dense.
Wonderful video. Following I've created 5 embroidered cards. So inspired. I would greatly appreciate information for this particular design. I'd love to purchase it, for personal use.
This is one of the best videos on card making that I have seen! One problem I have is after you make the card, how do you get an envelope to fit the custom made card? Do you make your own?
Thank you for your kind words. That is a good question. I choose designs that will fit on a 5x7 piece of cardstock. Then I purchase size A7 envelopes on Amazon for the cards. I actually purchased red, green and gold envelopes this year for my Christmas cards. I’ve also changed the way I make and assemble my cards - slightly. I trim my cardstock (I actually use watercolor paper for the embroidery design) for my design to 5x7”. Then I embroider the design on that trimmed piece of watercolor paper. Then I adhere the embroidered design onto the front of my card. I think it gives a more polished finish. Here is a link to some of the A7 envelopes I’ve purchased: Red A7 envelopes: amzn.to/3DEZXU8 White A7 envelopes: amzn.to/3DERboY A9 envelopes: amzn.to/3X1mX6B So, you should be able to buy envelopes for whatever size card you want to make! Of course, if you want to make your own envelopes you can certainly do that! Hope this helps!
Excellent video! Do you look for a certain stitch count for cards? Under 3,000 stitches, under 2,000? I've checked so many sites for low stitch count designs that look like yours, with no luck. May I ask where you got the designs in your video? The flowers would fit so many occasions! Thanks so much for your time!
Hi. Deb. I don’t so much look for low stitch counts as I do designs that don’t use a lot of fill or satin stitches. This design is from Embroidery Library. Here’s is a link to one of the designs: www.emblibrary.com/EL/Products.aspx?Catalog=Emblibrary&ProductID=M19348 and another: www.emblibrary.com/EL/Products.aspx?Catalog=Emblibrary&ProductID=M19358.

Hello, I love your cards...can I use blank 5x7 cards instead of card stock, but stitchout my design on color paper and then attach the color paper to the front of the blank greeting card? Thanks!
La’Tice, I haven’t tried that technique. The key, I think, would be to use a heavyweight cardstock. I doubt that it would work well on paper. The watercolor paper I used is 140 lb weight woven paper. If you try the colored paper, please let me know how it works!
Thank you for creating your video. If I may suggest a tip to any content creators watching doing craft projects or sewing, edit the ending first since the final product is really what viewers want to see to decide if they want to go along for the ride a second time to actually do the project. The endings are often rushed. And depending on the device used to view, “up next” windows cover a lot of the screen in the last 10 seconds or so and countless times I’ve watched a 20 minute video just to find the final results can not be appreciated. Results shown in the intro and thumbnail are good to see but I want to see how much effort a project truly takes. I think people just get tired of editing by the time they get to edit the end..totally understandable. But if you do it first, that can help. I hoped this video would have been more about what makes machine embroidery on card stock different than other fabrics-ex. if tension is different, and any special considerations when embroidering on paper, but it was more of a machine embroidery demo that just happened to use paper. Maybe the title should be a little different.
Thank you for your suggestions. I did leave a list of supplies, tools and equipment used in the video description. I tried to anticipate questions, and address those up front. Hindsight is always better! Thank you for your suggestions, I will keep those in mind.
Thanks, Sara. The embroidery design is from Embroidery Library - www.emblibrary.com. I purchased the envelopes from Amazon. They are 5”x7” (A7) envelopes. amzn.to/3wzuCyl I hope this helps!
I’ve wanted to do embroidery cards. Is this a special embroidery file or do you use any file that doesn’t have satin stitching. Happy I found this tutorial!! Thank you
Hi, Beverly! Those are all really good questions. Embroidery Library recommends only using embroidery files that were created specifically for cardstock paper. However, I have discovered that I can embroider so much more on cardstock. Like I mention in the video, I’ve been using watercolor paper with great results. You just want to stay away from designs that have a lot of satin stitching. The designs I used on these cards are not labeled as cards. I hope this helps.
Hi, Vicky. There are designs made specifically for use with cardstock but I tend to simply look for designs that aren’t very dense or that don’t use a lot of satin stitches. Hope this helps!
Another option is to embroider any design on fabric or felt, then cut out the embroidered design and stitch the fabric onto the cardstock. Hope this makes sense!
Did you make any changes to your settings? I tried doing something similar on my SE1900, but the needle keeps cutting the paper. I am using 140lb watercolor paper and cut away stabilizer.
The marvelous way of technology
Best instruction video I have found.
Thank you! Glad you found it helpful.
This is a great video. Easy to follow. What size needle are you using? I'm having trouble with the thread breaking. Thanks.
I’m just using a standard 75/11 embroidery machine needle. If you have the ability to slow your stitch speed down, that might help.
This is a great video and I've wanted to embroider greeting cards for ages but didn't know where to start.
It is easier than you might think! In fact, I have a new video I shared today with an “improved” way of putting the card together. Hope you find it helpful!

@@TheBirchCottage thanks a bunch mam .Amazing card embroidery ❤❤❤
I’ve wanted to do embroidery cards. Is this a special embroidery file or do you use any file that doesn’t have satin stitching. Happy I found this tutorial!! Thank you
Hi, Beverly! Those are all really good questions. Embroidery Library recommends only using embroidery files that were created specifically for cardstock paper. However, I have discovered that I can embroider so much more on cardstock. Like I mention in the video, I’ve been using watercolor paper with great results. You just want to stay away from designs that have a lot of satin stitching. The designs I used on these cards are not labeled as cards. I hope this helps.
@@TheBirchCottage yes that helps. Thank you so very much!
@@TheBirchCottage thank you so much!
Hello, do you use a special design that is done especially for cardstock?
Hi, Vicky. There are designs made specifically for use with cardstock but I tend to simply look for designs that aren’t very dense or that don’t use a lot of satin stitches. Hope this helps!
How do you choose a design? What do you look for in the design?
I look for designs that are not very dense. You can also find designs that are specifically designed for cardstock.
Another option is to embroider any design on fabric or felt, then cut out the embroidered design and stitch the fabric onto the cardstock. Hope this makes sense!
Did you make any changes to your settings? I tried doing something similar on my SE1900, but the needle keeps cutting the paper. I am using 140lb watercolor paper and cut away stabilizer.
No, I did not make any changes. Just be sure you aren’t using designs with satin stitches.
Would have been nice to know where you got the designs from???
Hi, Ruth. The designs I used are from Embroidery Library.
