Yoooooooooo THANK YOU. Flipping the shirt and applying stabilizer fixed my problem hooping .. you are a angel I’ve been looking for a WEEK god bless your simplicity and thoroughness.
Just to let you know, I did a butterfly on my sweatshirt! I am so excited! I used the cut away stabilizer on the wrong side, then the washable on top. I did have a thread break from the stickiness on top. Next time I think I will either liquefy the stabilizer or not use the top one.
+Ellen Roddy Congratulations, Ellen! Way to go! I don't use water-soluble stabilizer on sweatshirts, because the fabric is smooth and doesn't need it. I use water-soluble stabilizer as a topping when I work with fabric that have a nap - terrycloth, waffle weave, fleece, etc.
Hi Katlin, (not sure how you spell it) Love all your videos. You are one of the best teachers ever, So calm and pleasant and knowledgeable. Thanks for sharing that knowledge with us. I have a quick question. Do you have a design preference that works best with sweatshirts? Thank you so much for your time :)
Hello, thanks for the wonderful compliments! I don't have a preference myself, but you can find a top of great options in our Lookbook here: issuu.com/embroiderylibrary/docs/sweatshirts2016?e=18437236/40095026
I have a brother pe800 and struggle with getting tension correctly. I would do test stitches and they would work perfectly but when I start a project, the tension would be very off. What should the tension be on clothing like shirts and sweatshirts?
Hi I got my embroidery machine --brother pe800 and whenever I embroidery on hoodies or sweatshirts it sinks into the fabric. I use cut away stabilizer. What do you think could be the problem?
Hi , couple questions , very green to the scene , but I want to do a full large design on a man sweater xxl pretty much shoulder to shoulder with fine thick lettering and possibly the whole back of t-shirt, with that said do I need a industrial machine or can I get a smaller machine like yours? Thanks so much if so which machine would you request ? Ty
Hello, and thank you for asking! You should be able to embroider on this size of a sweatshirt with a smaller machine as long as your hoop size is large enough. You can also use a smaller hoop and simply stitch each part of the sweatshirt separately. Thanks!
You can take note of the designs dimensions, then cut a piece of paper to those same measurements. Draw a vertical and horizontal axis through the center of the paper, and use that for placement. We hope this helps.
How are you getting the sewing machine to embroider the shirt by itself at 2:23? I'm sorry if this is a silly question, but I don't understand this part of the tutorial. I'm a newbie. xo
Where do I find the Snowflake design and the Bird Filigree design used in the video "Embroidering on sweatshirt" on the Emblibrary website for purchase?
thank you for responding, your videod are excellent. I have a machine Brother PE-780D,models that you use no in Peru.Blessing for the whole team,I hope understand and thanks Embroidery Library
Hi Mark, we have a Brother, a Janome, and a Baby Lock in the office. Machines vary by preference and use, so we try to use all the varieties that our customers use, and don't really have a recommendation. Thanks!

Hi Sally Red! A size 11, or 75/11 needle, will work just fine. I've used embroidery needles and sewing needles when embroidering on sweatshirts.
oh my I always have a hard time keeping the stabilizer from not moving, heck never thought about spraying the back of the shirt, thanks for this tip..
+ginger0174 I'm so glad that helped!
Thank you for a great tutorial. I may have missed what size needle was used....The video is very helpful and looks like even I could do it!
Thank you so very much. Very helpful video. Love the embroidery library website -- one of my favorites!! Thanks again

Thanks for video! How do you have such beautiful embroidery?
+hai nguyen Thank you, Hai! We draw and digitize all of our designs here in Minnesota. We love what we do, and that shines through in our work.
love your web site! :)
Good video. Will polymesh work the same as cutaway? It would be softer. Why weren't you wearing an embroidered shirt?
+Michele Klein I thought polymesh was cutaway? The polymesh that I've used in the past has been cutaway.

a brother pe-770 should work w/a correct hoop, right?
Hi DJ, yes, it should. Thanks!
If we don’t have a print out, what can we use for a template

We put the fabric in the embroidery hoop, then attach it to the embroidery machine!

Can you recommend a sewing machine that allows me to upload my company logo?
Hi Mark, we have a Brother, a Janome, and a Baby Lock in the office. Machines vary by preference and use, so we try to use all the varieties that our customers use, and don't really have a recommendation. Thanks!
Can you do sweatshirts on a brother se400?
+Ellen Roddy Yes, you should be able to as long as the desired design fits within your embroidery hoop! Thanks for asking.
Good Day, what thickness of stabilize do you use?
Hi Lin, we recommend using one layer of medium-weight (2.5 ounce) cutaway stabilizer. Thanks!
