I’ve had my machine for almost six months and after looking at this ONE video I feel it’s time to take her out of the box😎😎😎😎 your voice is calm and you took time to explain why you do things. I thank you for this video. I’m definitely subscribing!!!!!
Kimberly YAY!!!!! So glad this video was able to give you confidence. If you subscribe to my newsletter, you will receive some free designs to be able to start practicing. creativeappliques.com/newsletter/
Awesome instructions and you have a great teaching style. Also it’s nice to watch a fellow “left hander” in action!! Thank you so much for providing this video. 😊
Thank you for a great video! I am new to embroidery and had wondered how to use my machine to do appliqué projects. Your directions made it very clear. Looks like fun!
Do you have a video on how you created this in your software? I haven’t seen a video yet that explains how to setup you design for applique in the software. I would love to see a video on the basic concepts....I’m not really looking for how to digitize the actual graphic file but how you setup the basting, tack down.....etc. through the software. I hope I was clear (not confusing) in what I’m looking for. I got a lot from this video in how you setup outside the software to embroider....very clear and got some steps to help me out.....THANKS!
Thanks for your response....but based on the recent add to this question, it still proves we would like a video process. I know your designs have it in your purchased file, but I would like to know step by step using the software demonstration to create a design layout to get it ready for the embroidery machine; for example, the first thing you need is to add a tack down first before you blah blah blah....then step two...so forth.....you’re so good explaining things, so you would be good at showing us this process.....sorry, but you are....LOL
I am wanting to start doing applique and embroidery. I have just retired from teaching and have always love sewing and crafts. I would like to know what type of machine you recommend getting. I love your thorough and slow teaching style. Thanks so much
I would definitely shop around. Go to your local Sew and Vac and speak with them. Also, local quilt shops sell machines too. The one suggestion I can offer is to get a machine with the largest hoop size that you can afford. Inexpensive machines that you can buy online or from big box stores tend to only have small frames like 4x4. Unless you only want to make baby bibs or left chest logos, you will outgrow the 4x4 hoop really quickly. I love my new @brothersews machines. Good luck!
I’ve seen other people use masking tape instead of clips when holding down the shirts on the outer edge, and that also helps so your hand is not in the machine pushing the clothes away from the needle
Thank you for wonderful instructions! (you don't drone on and on like some people who bore you to death before you get to the middle) Your instructions are precise I like that you can describe why you like something and let us choose... Thank you for taking the time to help me learn how to applique with my embroidery machine!!!!!
I am so glad this was helpful! When I was starting out, applique seemed so daunting to me. I was terrified LOL. But I figured it out! There were no videos on RUclips to teach me. So I learned by trial and error. Thank you so much for letting me know this helped. Let me know if there are other videos you are wanting so I can make those too
Can you make a list of the supplies that you used please, the different stabilizers that type hook that is as well as where to get one of those seam rippers with the plastic tip.
I have a generic list of supplies you can find here: creativeappliques.com/shop/free-downloadable-shopping-list-of-embroidery-supplies/ Here are some links for you :) Seam ripper: amzn.to/468n2tB Hooks: amzn.to/3QvMhAp
Wow this is a very good video!!! Thank you so much for such a great demonstration 💗 I don’t have my machine yet, but it’s coming in 7 days and this video has helped this newbie 🤗
Files need to be downloaded to a computer from the Etsy website. Then they need to be unzipped. If using a PC, you right click on the file > extract all. On a Mac, double left click on the file to unzip it.
Such a great and helpful video. If making a tshirt for a toddler, before appliqué should I pre wash and dry the tshirt? What about prewashing and drying the appliqué fabric? I’m Trying to avoid puckering after washing. Thanks
This is the million dollar question LOL And so many factors go into answering this. If you are stitching for personal use and for people you know, then you can wash before stitching. If you are doing this for a business, then it is discouraged to wash before stitching for many reasons. To name a few, the item would be considered "used" if being washed first. Also, buyers being allergic to the detergent can be an issue. Hope this helps!
@@CreativeAppliques Thanks so much for the quick response. This tshirt is for my grandson so I will pre-wash it. Do you recommend pre-washing the cotton fabric I will use for appliqué as well? Thanks so much and this one video is so very helpful!
thank you so much. I am very much new to this and this was very helpful. People seem to forget what it was like to be new. So they assume you know what seems very simple to them. So going step by step was huge.
This is a great tutorial. I have been thinking about an embroidery machine but thought I would not use it very often but you might have changed my mind. Thanks.
Thank you so much for sharing your expertise in this video! I’m new to sewing and new to embroidery and with COVID can’t take any classes in person anywhere. You mentioned Cloud cover at the end of the video and I’m looking for more info on this and how to use it please. Can you please help educate me on this since my first project are Christmas embroidery design tops for my twin granddaughters. Thank you in advance!
It is something you cut larger than the design. You iron it onto the back of the shirt on the inside. Here is what I use. It has directions on how to apply it: amzn.to/39b2tmi
How cute. I'm a beginner............baby beginner giggle. I had know idea there were so many steps to this! Wowza !!! Thank you for making the tutorial it has been a eye opener to say the least ......................
Sorry, these questions keep popping in my head when I’m going over my notes.....can you still find the type of seam ripper you used with the eraser on the end....I was amazed how little effort it took to remove the water solvable....
Ruth you can find the seam ripper here: www.amazon.com/dp/B00UY15X2K/?ref=exp_inf_pl_creativeappliques For all the products I referenced in the video (and more), you can find them all here: www.amazon.com/shop/creativeappliques
You can do it! Glad this was helpful! Once you get the hang of it, you will absolutely love it! Being able to completely change a design by simply changing out the fabrics is amazing! Let me know what other videos you are wanting to see.
I watch a lot of tutorials on RUclips. Thank you for all the information. I am a machine embroidery is very new for me. Yours is very detail and informative. Great work. Thanks again. Ho what machine do you use.
Terri, these are the clips I use. They are hair clips. I like them because they are very narrow so have less of a chance of getting caught on the machine: amzn.to/3i9y7TR
I have done several appliqués but have never done the heat and bond. Why do you suggest this when the entire piece is adhered with the two step tack down and satin stitch?
most fabrics used for the applique, are cotton quilting fabrics. When sewing them onto a knit which is stretchy, the knit has stretch while the cotton fabric does not. Also when washing the item, they shrink at different percentages and directions. Using the HNBL, it essentially glues the fabric to the knit aiding in the applique material maintaining its integrity. It also helps the fabric to not fray and be pulled away from the stitching
I do still have this machine Vicki! It is a work horse. I absolutely LOVE it! I hope you get the courage to use it. But be careful because you might just become obsessed with embroidering everything LOL ;)
@@CreativeAppliques I love this machine too! it just seems to be the type of machine I like to use!! I worry that the screen will go out soon, though.....
I cannot find the iron on fusible on Amazon. It is all sold out. But here is a poly mesh that is not fusible but would work almost the same: amzn.to/35UJqJG Here are all the supplies I recommend. I do not sell these just can recommend them from personal use: amzn.to/3fFOy8N
I would think you’d have a hard time seeing the reference lines through anything but a light colored shirt. That’s the problem…. How would you line it up on dark, or chambray or denim? Also what about a larger design than fits in the hoop? Is it possible to do something like that? Also where can i get the offset scissors? I used to appliqué pretty complicated designs on a regular machine with a satin stitch but i usually just left the parts of the fabric that would be covered by other appliqués, and I would iron them all together at once and then onto the garment. I’m trying to start up again but it’s hard on regular machines to do a lot of appliqué so I’m hoping to figure out how feasible it is to do it on an embroidery machine to see if I want to invest in one. It looks like a lot of fun. My mother in law has one but she doesn’t do her own pattern design which is what I would like to do.
I would use chalk on a darker fabric. Then put a straight pin into the center of the shirt and line it up with the center of the hoop. Do the same for the side markings. In order to use an embroidery design, the only way a machine can read and embroidery a design is if it fits in the hoop. You cannot embroidery a design larger than the hoop unless you split the design using embroidery software. Here is the link to the scissors I use: amzn.to/3x7atPk If you want to create your own designs to use on an embroidery machine, you will need to purchase software in order to create the file the machine can read. It is not like a regular sewing machine. Embroidery machines have computers in them that need a file to read and then sews that out onto the item.
So adorable!! This was very helpful....thank you so much. I use a water soluble stabilizer for my Free Standing Lace projects, but I'm not sure of the type that you used today. I looked for your water soluble stabilizer on your Amazon list and didn't see it. Can you tell me the name and where I can purchase that light weight water soluble stabilizer? Thank you again and I look forward to seeing more of your very helpful videos!! Claudene
Curious as to why you used tear-away stabilizer? I'm a newbie, but everything I've read says, "if you wear it, don't tear it." Does this only apply to embroidery, not appliqué? Thanks for a very informative video!
I am very new in fact this will be my first thing so I hope this question isn’t to dumb I printed this out but the template printed out way to big it took the whole 8.5 X 11 paper what size should it be?
I have this machine love it !!! it would be much easier to open the side seams of the T shirt work on a flat surface and just overlock closed . very pretty
Chelsea Upholstery I think the machine is the same as the second hand one I jus bought. A Viking Designer 1. Unfortunately the person I ought it from had taken out the embroidery designs and letters and numbers. I didn’t realise, so I can’t embroider. If anyone can tell me how I can put designs back in the machine I would be so greatful.
Hello there, the video was very helpful. I am a freestyle embroidery person. Now I am seriously looking to buy a computerized machine. Would you please let me know which machine you use. And I need extra workspace I mean lager hoop capacity machine
this machine is a Viking Husqvarna Designer 1. It is an older machine. I suggest you go to local quilt stores or sew and vac stored to explore different models. Another great place is to attend a quilt show or sewing convention where you can find lots of dealers present
I think my question is similar to the others. How do you set up the machine to do baste the outline and then redo the outline with a tack down, it's not a normal embroidery and I don't understand how the machine knows the difference????
Linda the placement and the tack down are part of the design itself. All these steps are part of the design. Step 1 sews the placement. The machine will stop. Place the fabric down. Sew step 2 to tack down the fabric. The machine will stop. Then you cut the fabric. Repeat the steps for as many pieces of fabric the design uses. Then you move on to the decorative stitching.
@Sue Spiers it is an iron on fusible stabilizer that protects both the back of the design and the skin of the person/baby. You can find it here: www.amazon.com/dp/B003XD4EAS/?ref=exp_creativeappliques_lv_dp_vv_d
This video was really good. Very informative and easy to follow. I haven't received my machine yet... a Brother SE600..I hope I'm able to follow along when it comes!
Fabulous video, very informative. I had a slight problem watching you wearing your scissors around your neck, dangling down. It reminded me of a nasty accident that a friend had so I had to whizz through some of the video. Apart from that it's great but please watch those scissors :)
Can all embroidery machines do applique once the digital image is for applique? i have a brother PE525. Would be grateful if anyone who knows the answer could share
Yes. I have the Brother SE 625 and can do this design. The main difference between our machines and hers is that she can load all her threads on her machine and we'll have to change thread color after each section is sewn if it's a different color.
If you cannot see the mark thru the shirt, you can always put a straight pin into the spot and then put a mark where the pin is on the opposite side. Thanks so much for watching!
Thank you for the wonderful video. This helps me a lot. From your website what’s the difference between embroidery files to svg cutting files? I’m new to embroidery.
Jill I did not change the bobbin. Since this is being sewn onto a shirt and the inside will not be seen, then I left the bobbin with white thread in the entire time.

Just got my embroidery machine brother ns2750d will your designs work on my machine ..I don’t think it has the pre stitch on it
as long as it is an embroidery machine, you can use this design. The first step is a basting step. I am not sure if your machine will do that.

Doesn’t ironing the marker heat set it making it permanent? Mine did! Different brands I guess!
I have not had that experience. The marker I use is a water erase marker so a little spritz of water takes it right out.
Creative Appliques What brand is yours? Mine is a POS, once heat set an ocean wont get it out!
@@homelyheart it is called Mark B Gone. amzn.to/2XrGqzw
are those hair clips. They are a good idea
Yes they are hair clips. They are traditional for rollers but have a ver low profile so have less chance of getting caught in the machine.

Unfortunately the person I ought it from had taken out the embroidery designs and letters and numbers. I didn’t realise, so I can’t embroider. If anyone can tell me how I can put designs back in the machine I would be so greatful.
I just got a brother se625 and I’m new to embroidery am I able to still do something like this on my machine??
Yes you can. As long as the design you are using fits your 4x4 hoop.
Terri Romano Awesome thank you so much!! I can’t wait to try it out and learn more about embroidery!! :)
What kind of embroidery machine are you using?
it's a Viking Designer 1 by Husqvarna
COOL VIDEO
I just went to the site very nice going to order soon thank you,
Thank you Janet! Glad to be able to help!
What kind I’d scissors are those and what kind of ruler?
Hi Doris! Here is the link for the scissors: amzn.to/3ICmZy8
The ruler was purchased many years ago from Dollar Tree
Thanks for watching
Hello there, the video was very helpful. I am a freestyle embroidery person. Now I am seriously looking to buy a computerized machine. Would you please let me know which machine you use. And I need extra workspace I mean lager hoop capacity machine
this machine is a Viking Husqvarna Designer 1. It is an older machine. I suggest you go to local quilt stores or sew and vac stored to explore different models. Another great place is to attend a quilt show or sewing convention where you can find lots of dealers present
Creative Appliques . Thanks. You are awesome.
Great Video
Glad you enjoyed it
I think my question is similar to the others. How do you set up the machine to do baste the outline and then redo the outline with a tack down, it's not a normal embroidery and I don't understand how the machine knows the difference????
Linda the placement and the tack down are part of the design itself. All these steps are part of the design. Step 1 sews the placement. The machine will stop. Place the fabric down. Sew step 2 to tack down the fabric. The machine will stop. Then you cut the fabric. Repeat the steps for as many pieces of fabric the design uses. Then you move on to the decorative stitching.
Could you explain the cloud covering on the back of the appliqué embroidery please? x
@Sue Spiers it is an iron on fusible stabilizer that protects both the back of the design and the skin of the person/baby. You can find it here: www.amazon.com/dp/B003XD4EAS/?ref=exp_creativeappliques_lv_dp_vv_d
Thank you so much xx
Love this I hope one day I can do this
This video was really good. Very informative and easy to follow. I haven't received my machine yet... a Brother SE600..I hope I'm able to follow along when it comes!
Glad it was helpful!
What color do you use in your bobbin?
I always use white bobbin thread unless I am sewing an in the hoop item where the bobbin color will be seen
Excellent tutorial. Gracias!
Thank you so much!
Do you normally use the “thin water solvable” on all your designs (cotton materials...etc)....great idea....
Yes! I use it on top of everything. It keeps the stitches on top of the fabric and do not sink in or get buried.
Thank you sooo much.
You're welcome!
Excellent video for beginner. I do have one question, what is cloud cover that you added at the end???
@Sheila it is an iron on covering that is used on the back of the embroidery stitching to make it soft and not scratchy
Fabulous video, very informative. I had a slight problem watching you wearing your scissors around your neck, dangling down. It reminded me of a nasty accident that a friend had so I had to whizz through some of the video. Apart from that it's great but please watch those scissors :)
How on earth can anyone make a profit doing this? Expensive machine, lots of supplies, and significant time spent?
You can't really, you do it because you enjoy it. Often times things are made for gifts because its hard to profit
Good morning I love it what brand # is your machine please reply also does it ues more than one theard at the same time?
This machine is very old and is not sold any longer. It only uses 1 thread color at a time.

Can all embroidery machines do applique once the digital image is for applique? i have a brother PE525. Would be grateful if anyone who knows the answer could share
Yes. I have the Brother SE 625 and can do this design. The main difference between our machines and hers is that she can load all her threads on her machine and we'll have to change thread color after each section is sewn if it's a different color.
What machine are you using?
it is a Viking Designer 1. Very old machine that is no longer sold
How is that mark going to show through on anything other than a thin white shirt?
If you cannot see the mark thru the shirt, you can always put a straight pin into the spot and then put a mark where the pin is on the opposite side. Thanks so much for watching!
what is the other sewing machine in the back in the beginning of the video??
it is a Happy Voyager 12 needle
Thank you for the wonderful video. This helps me a lot. From your website what’s the difference between embroidery files to svg cutting files? I’m new to embroidery.
Roxy the SVG files are for use with a cutting machine. They are to be used with vinyl for making decals or heat transfer vinyl.
Enjoyed your tutorial very much. I am new to this so you have explained a lot for me.
Can i do this on se600 brother
yes, as long as you use only the 4x4 size to fit in your hoop
What software are you using mine doesn’t look like that when printing out the steps
this is the PDF file that is included within the file when purchased. It is not from a software program
Did you change the bobbin when you changed the thread?
Jill I did not change the bobbin. Since this is being sewn onto a shirt and the inside will not be seen, then I left the bobbin with white thread in the entire time.
How do you know what fabric to put down
You can follow along with the included PDF step by step stitch order instructions. Thanks for watching!
