    • @NalakittyAMVs
      @NalakittyAMVs 2 месяца назад +2

      In my experience with my brother se700, if you stop in the middle and turn off the machine, it will usually ask to resume upon turning on again. But if not, if you stop between two colors it’s super easy to pick up where you’ve left off 👍 all you have to do is keep the design in the hoop and don’t move it around so everything will still be aligned when you restart
      Hope that helped at all! Let me know if I can clarify

    • @LadySaphira
      @LadySaphira Месяц назад +1

      Also disabled, yes you can on the more recent machines, I use a se1900 and it will ask to resume where I left off if I turn off in the middle of a project. Even if it didn't for some reason as long as the item is still in the hoop I can just select the design again and set it to where I want it to start stitching from.

      you don't need a specific machine, but you would need to digitize. It's a very manual process to create a custom photo -- almost like sketching it out, so you would need some drawing skills. You could also reach out to a professional digitizer to do it for you

    @aerisvermell7231 5 месяцев назад

    Hey Stitchback, don't know how likely it is for you to see this but I'm struggling to find answers elsewhere -
    I'm using the exact same water soluble stabilizer that you have linked, vilene, and I'm using identical hoops to yours - But I really struggle to get it tensioned in the hoop at all? It feels very delicate, and tears easily when I try to tension it, no matter how gentle I am. This is even vilene straight from the shop, used immediately in case my storage was an issue. I also found that it really struggled to hold up under designs that had more than 2 layers, or much density at all (like a background fill stitch)
    Do you have any advice on tensioning such a delicate material? Or does it sound like something is going wrong to make it delicate?
    Grateful for any advice 🙏

      the material shouldn't be delicate and I've never had it tear. I wonder if you got sent the wrong material? It should feel like a fabric

    Came out perfect, do you digitize your own designs?

    Hi! I love this video, thank you so much for making it!! I have a quick question about your stitches. Does the stitch you punch out onto the paper just cover the size of the white part of your "let it grow" patch, or does it also include the border? In other words, should the fabric be the size of the entire design or just the part inside of the patch border? Thank you in advance!!

      thank you! For this design, the white background and the border end at the same place. The fabric should be the size of the design. Usually when making appliques, a lot of people trim the fabric after the tack down stitch, but the paper template allows you to skip this step and cut all the fabric out beforehand (this is especially helpful if you plan on making multiples of the same design!)

      @@stitchbackstories Thank you so much for your quick response! That is helpful! I am struggling to get my fabric cut outs the exact size of the patch even with the paper template - I always seem to be just a little under or a little over. Do you have any tips for getting the size spot on? (Or, in the case of imperfections, is it better to be a little over or a little under?)

      @@kaitlynt649 A little under would be better so that you don't have the fabric showing through. However, if you go too far under, your satin stitches could start coming apart. When digitizing the position stitch, I like to place it about 2/3 the width of the satin stitch outline. Digitizing just takes practice, and I go over my process in the How to Digitize a Patch series: ruclips.net/video/DddtX8JqQMw/видео.html Hope that's helpful!
