Thank you! I’m glad I found you! I have had my machine 4 yrs and am going to use it now. I know this video is old but you have reinsured me to try it again!
I think my favorite thing about getting a Bernina and entering into embroidery is finding YOU! Eve you are such a wonderful teacher. Thank you for not editing out your goofs. It makes me feel less afraid of making mistakes. Love you such a much!
I lay on my bed watching your video while my wife is next room sewing and she always comes in and comments on how well you come across with each subject. And I agree with her. Thank you and this is real schooling.You are professional.
I love watching you - I thought I was the only one that had a time hooping. I have said that I don't charge for embroidering - I charge for having to hoop it. I especially have been where you were when you said it would pop out on you. You have given me many hours of learning and entertainment. I just love you!
Thank you! That hooping is a trip. Especially when you have arthritis in your hands! It can be quite painful, HOWEVER it is technically the best way to embroider.
Thank you so much for your video. I like the pace of the video and how you take the time to explain each step. This video has been very helpful. Blessings to you!
Thank you as took the plunge and bought the PE-550D from Brother. This is my first time doing this and your videos explain it in a way that I can relate to without trying to get me to buy from your affiliate link
I Like how you marked the shirt. I first find the center front line (for embroidery on the front). I measure down about 7" for a small & 7-1/2" for a medium I then divide the distance from the center of the shirt front & the sleeve seam...if it's 9", then my design will center at 4-1/2". The pressed center front seam let's me measure in three places from the center front to make sure my vertical and horizontal lines are even. I rarely use the templates...keep losing them..so I hoop the stabilizer & mark the horizontal and vertical lines on the stabilizer & then float the shirt, matching the drawn lines. With the newer "dry weave" t-shirts...this works best. I either use a sticky back stabilizer or a bit of spray baste.
I cannot tell you how much you inspire me to start embroidering. My machine just sits put in my sewing room. So scared of it. Hubby does amazing designs. I need to invest the money and take lessons on my Husqvarna machine. So ashamed that my husband surprised me with this awesome gift 9 years ago and I am just so afraid of breaking it. Grrrrrr.
Diane Schafer It is intimidating. There are just so many factors to consider before you even press the "go" button! However, with practice, patience, and helpful guidance, you'll be embroidering everything in sight in no time! 😄
I can’t do embroidery unless my designs are as straight as they can be. It looked to me thatyou sort of guesstimated the line based on the hang tag. I loved the glue stick tip. Brava to you! Ok no here is why I am going nuts the last 2 years. My designs curl and look horrible after wash and wear. I heard you describe cut away to stabilize that tee shirt fabric, but how do your designs stand the test of time? Other teachers say spray, or mesh, or sticky tear away. They all say their way is the best way. After trying about fifty tee shirt designs, nothing I have tried yet allows my designs to continue to look professional. But I will do yor technique. What about prewashing and / or steaming the shirt before to shrink it? Thank you!
Thank you so much for your great videos. The one on making a t-shirt embroidery placement template just saved me mega bucks. I look forward to watching more.
thanks for these videos, they are really helpful, you are pleasant to listen to and go at a nice speed for me to follow. i am new to embroidery and found you 10 tips very helpful and look forward to watching more and improving my skills.... thanks again
Thank U, Thank U for all your amazing videos. I'm very new to embroidery & I've just gotten my first embroidery machine the brother pe800. I've learned so much watching your videos. I'm wanting to do some 3d applique embroidery designs for my niece for Christmas and I'm wanting to monogram some sherpa pullovers as Christmas gifts. But I'm struggling because I can't find anything to help guide me in the right direction. Any help would be so greatly appreciated!!
I do have a video on nap tack stitches. That same design method would work great on the sherpa. I don't have a video on 3d applique. I will look into trying to do one, just not sure if I can have one uploaded in time for the holidays.
I can do a brief overview, however I am unable to do a detailed video on the digitizing process just yet. I don't think I'm good enough! I do simple digitizing, however the more complex designs I send out to be digitized. 🙂 Thank you for such a Great video request! 👍
Hello, you are amazing! I am trying to learn since I think they don't have too easy tools for embroidery to manage. One question what about jackets? I can embroidery with the PES525 my winter coat? too thick fabrics maybe affects all the subject :)
The thick coat COULD be embroidered, however you need to be sure to babysit it to ensure it is moving freely on the machine. You can not leave it unattended. 👍
Hi Lorraine! Thanks for watching our videos and for leaving an inquiry! I use the Dritz line of markers. Here is one that's SUPER affordable! amzn.to/2plYz15 Dritz makes them in about 5 different colors, but this one is the least expensive.
one good sample 2 not so good because of the machine acting up but back at it after work tomorrow the thread got tangled up.and then it wasn't centering the right way oh well that's way we call it learning lol thanks EVE love your baby what a blessing! I still dont like needle changing or the foot as easy as it is. thank god for husbands I have a great one he help me LOL .
Sorry the machine acted up! Make sure the bobbin case is cleaned out and free from lint and strands of thread, then give it a drop of oil. After you oil it, embroider on some scrap to absorb any extra oil, re-thread the machine and give it another try! Be sure to give hubby a BIG OL hug for changing out that needle and foot for you!!!
Hi, do we have to use embroidery needles for machine embroidery? If so what size of needles would be most suitable for woven and knits? Thank you. P.S. I have just purchased SWP and I am enjoying playing around it. Haven't mastered it but your lessons have been an invaluable guide.
Noorjahan PK Ibrahim Kutty Hi! When using embroidery machines, a 75/11 proves sufficient for most embroidery. Knit fabrics require a ballpoint needle! You are able to get 75/11 in ballpoint as well as sharp. 😊
I have the exact machine you used in this video and mine is missing stitches and I will have a random blank spot in my design. Is this my software or something else? Thanks! EDIT: I fixed it with thicker stabilizer!
Because the wrong spray adhesive will leave sticky residue on your embroidery needle. If the needle is sticky, then the thread will stick to it and bunch up and cause thread breaks. You have tofind a sewing needle friendly spray adhesive.
Good cutaway stabilizer and a design that isn't too dense for the fabric. If it puckers with the cutaway stabilizer you are using, add another piece. On T-shirts I suggest cutaway mesh.
Try using a drop of fray block on backside of the design. Jump stitches shouldn't be trimmed if the stitch isn't locked in place first or else they usually will unravel.
you have some great skills came by your channel because you left a comment on another channel i watch, so happy i click on your name! if i could make a suggestion you title all your video starting with your channel name then what the videos about. you will be fond on search engines faster if you put what the video is about then your name. hope that helps you should be getting a lot more hits then your getting and I would love to do a collab some time . my wife is going to start doing a lot of craft videos maybe you too can make a video together.
Hi I'm having a problem with my first embroidery machine which is se 625 I'm using the Q foot and trying to get the stitches and the bobbin over the screen keep coming which it is not suppose to how do I get I right to start stitching my shirt?
Hi Bobby, your question is from a year ago but it sounds like your tension is not right for your project if the bobbin thread comes to the top. I hope you got it figured out and didn't give up.
Stretchy material calls for a ballpoint needle. Your size needle is fine for that type material. For other general embroidery, try a 90/14 topstitch and see how it works for you!
The Baby's Booty I just ordered the needles you suggested!!! Can’t wait to try them out and let you know how it goes! Ohhh and I am now a member of “The Hoop Group”!!! I have learned so much watching your videos thank you so much! You are simply amazing!
i tried putting double sided tape down on the bottom of the inter part. the scotch perm double side, and put it on the cross marks, then all you have to do is snap it in the outer. saw it on youtube . got a question, can you tell me whats the difference in the HAx1 (130/705H) 15x1 75/11 and the SAEMB7511? needles
I am not sure if there is a difference between those needles! In most instances it's the brand that's different, not the needle itself. As long as it's showing 75/11 and it has a flat side to the shank, then you can use it successfully in your embroidery machine.
How do you position your stabilizer to your marked place without seeing it (cause it is in the back of fabric)? If the stabilizer is not aligned to the upper hoop, you won't be able to have a proper frame and thus you won't have a good embroidery. Yes you can say you feel it but most men don't have that sixth sense.
Would you do the nursing uniform tops. My daughter will be having to wear teal & black and the the hospitals logo on it. I will have to get someone to make the logo for me as I don't have any software. Thanks
Hi! I am very confused about the needle. I know you need to use a 75/11 ball point needle, but I am not able to find one that says embroidery plus ball point. So can I use a regular machine ball point needle on a Brother SE400? like the Schmetz Stretch Machine Needles 5/Pk - Size 11/75 even though it doesn't say embroidery on the package? please let me know I am feeling desperate.
Thank you! I’m glad I found you! I have had my machine 4 yrs and am going to use it now. I know this video is old but you have reinsured me to try it again!

Hello. Can you tell more about ballpoint and sharp point needles? What is the difference between them? And when should we use each of them? Thank you

Thank you, I found you from watching Kandia, you both are really good. Really like your videos. thanks for all the Tips
Lorraine Cotton Thank you very much! 😊 I am glad to be of help to you, and yes, Kandia is Amazing!
Can you do a video adding a name using the SE 400? I love your videos
I can do another one, but I'm pretty sure I have an old one on here somewhere. 😄
Thank you ... for doing the video for me
monay wright You are VERY welcome! 🤗
You are the best!!!
Awww! Thank you very much! I appreciate your valuable feedback.
Cab you do a video on how to setup or digitize the customers logo that they give you?
I can do a brief overview, however I am unable to do a detailed video on the digitizing process just yet. I don't think I'm good enough! I do simple digitizing, however the more complex designs I send out to be digitized. 🙂 Thank you for such a Great video request! 👍

Can I use Sew What Pro with my Janome embroidery machine
Thank you, What are the best markers to use to wash away?
Hi Lorraine! Thanks for watching our videos and for leaving an inquiry! I use the Dritz line of markers. Here is one that's SUPER affordable! amzn.to/2plYz15 Dritz makes them in about 5 different colors, but this one is the least expensive.
Do you have a onesie tutorial?
Do you adjust needle tension when embroidering a t shirt to keep it from pucker
No I do not. Usually using the correct stabilizer keeps my designs from puckering.
yay I can try that!.thanks
+Janet McKinney Yes ma'am! Let me know how it goes. 😊
one good sample 2 not so good because of the machine acting up but back at it after work tomorrow the thread got tangled up.and then it wasn't centering the right way oh well that's way we call it learning lol thanks EVE love your baby what a blessing!

hello can you tell me what needles you use on hoodies
Regular 75/11 Embroidery needles
Why did you say you don’t use spray adhesive? I couldn’t understand well. You said something about your needle. I also have 400 and trying to learn 💕
Because the wrong spray adhesive will leave sticky residue on your embroidery needle. If the needle is sticky, then the thread will stick to it and bunch up and cause thread breaks. You have tofind a sewing needle friendly spray adhesive.
@@TheBabysBooty oh okay! Thank you so much!!!
How do you keep the design from puckering?
Good cutaway stabilizer and a design that isn't too dense for the fabric. If it puckers with the cutaway stabilizer you are using, add another piece. On T-shirts I suggest cutaway mesh.
Hello do you have a print out of your template
I do not. I apologize.
Where do you get your shirts from?
I get them from CarolinaMade .com
When the jump stitches are trimmed, sometimes the embroidery will begin to unravel. How do I secure the thread?
Try using a drop of fray block on backside of the design. Jump stitches shouldn't be trimmed if the stitch isn't locked in place first or else they usually will unravel.
@@TheBabysBooty thank you. I'll have to find the setting to lock them in place.
you have some great skills came by your channel because you left a comment on another channel i watch, so happy i click on your name! if i could make a suggestion you title all your video starting with your channel name then what the videos about. you will be fond on search engines faster if you put what the video is about then your name. hope that helps you should be getting a lot more hits then your getting and I would love to do a collab some time . my wife is going to start doing a lot of craft videos maybe you too can make a video together.
ManabuFarms I love crafting, and I love collaborations! 😀 We crafters have to stick together. 😉 Thank you for the tip, i will Definitely do that! 👍
great ill have her message you.
Love all your videos that I’ve seen so far. I’m new at this and want to learn all I can.
Would I be safe to use nothing but polyester thread in all my projects?
You can. There are rayon options as well, but polyester thread alone for embroidery won't hurt anything.
Hi I'm having a problem with my first embroidery machine which is se 625 I'm using the Q foot and trying to get the stitches and the bobbin over the screen keep coming which it is not suppose to how do I get I right to start stitching my shirt?
Hi Bobby, your question is from a year ago but it sounds like your tension is not right for your project if the bobbin thread comes to the top. I hope you got it figured out and didn't give up.
What size and kind of needle? Like I use SCHMETZ gold titanium embroidery 75/11. Like for stretchy athletic material
Stretchy material calls for a ballpoint needle. Your size needle is fine for that type material. For other general embroidery, try a 90/14 topstitch and see how it works for you!

Hi, what type needle do you use for embroidering on t-shirts?
Carol Yates T-shirts are Jersey knit, so a ballpoint 75/11 would be recommended. 😊 Great question! Thank you!
