stellajane1966 Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Hi all. Im very ,very new to machine embroidery. In fact ALL embroidery. I have a fabulous brother embrodery machine and absolutely love it. ive had my partners business logo digitized and attempted to embroider it tonight. I did a test piece On some purple felt with tear away stabilizer and it looked amazing. When i did it on a cotton tshirt it wasn't as good as the felt. Is this because the felt is more rigid? how do i overcome this problem? Can any one advise me? 2 1 Quote Link to comment
Mila Oost Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Hello! This is a well-known problem. When I started my hobby in machine embroidery, I had no one to ask for advice. Thin, opaque fabrics and jersey must be reinforced with a thin thermal fleece (fliseline) and on wrong side of your T-shirt. I use "cut-away" stabilizer for the hoop. On top of the embroidery area, pin a piece of thin water-soluble film stabilizer with pins. That prevents sinking stitches. Wish you success! 2 Quote Link to comment

I don't really know how to solve this problem, but I can recommend changing settings. Quote Link to comment
Adrena Blossom Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Machine embroidery is no harder than any other specialized skill you are willing to spend hours and hours and weeks and weeks to learn. It's a skill that requires learning to use a technical machine and learning techniques for each step of the process. 1 Quote Link to comment
