Original text by Marina Belova I've long wanted to embroider with two threads in one needle, being mighty curious how the whole thing would turn out. So a couple of days ago I saw a video on Gunold's Youtube channel in which Debora Jones demonstrated the way of doing it and shared basic recommendations for those who are going to repeat it on their own machines. Below are her recommendations to which I added a few things that could be guessed from the context: Use standard #40 rayon or polyester threads. A 90/14 needle has a large enough ear to accommodate both threads. The point type depends on the type of fabric, I suppose. You should increase the thread tension to prevent looping. And reduce the design's density by at least 20%. The issue of underlay wasn't specified but the understitching was present, therefore, you'd better use it. I also think that the stitch length should be increased in relation to the standard one. The important thing to remember is that a thread supply failure detector won't work in this case because the second thread will remain intact even if the first one snapped. In my opinion, pull compensation needs to be increased substantially, for two threads will distort a design a great deal in spite of the reduced density. What else one needs to do to master this not too complicated a skill, according to the video in question? Not much – to create a design in the way that was suggested and go to the machine: So I threaded my needle with 2 threads: Adjusted the tension – I had to tighten all the screws all the way in so that to prevent loops – and went to the machine: Nevertheless, there were some loops during the embroidery of the twig (done with satins). The leaf is very puffy and looks like it had been embroidered with a multicolor thread made of 2 different strands (below on the right). Judging from the result, the stitch density could be reduced even more that by 20%. For reference, here is the same leaf embroidered with one thread at a time – each half with a different color. I used my standard density values (below on the left): The most interesting aspects of this technique are: You can choose the colors you like and not the ones in the multicolor palette. You don't need to use (almost) any special tricks when digitizing in order to successfully mix the two colors. This technique is excellent for the embroidery of flowers, leaves, hair (fur) and whenever you need things to look natural. -

We have three Janome MB4 embroidery machines in the office and they are frequently jamming, resulting in the . We are based in Northern Mozambique and our nearest technician is in Johannesburg and it is expensive to bring him up to fix the machines (>$1600). I want to learn how to do this myself. At the moment I have the needle alignment out on all machines. I have a service manual which shows me how to remove and replace parts - which is potentially very helpful. So, if I know the sequence of maintenance activities I need to do to resolve this issue, then I might be able to fix the machines myself using the service manual. Can anyone help by indicating what are the steps I need to take to resolve this problem? I have looked for a Janome video dealing with this specific issue, but to date I have not found one which addresses this problem. Thank you very much for your assistance.-

Hello! I recently purchased a Brother SE600 embroidery machine and am having issues with actually embroidering. I think I do not have the correct supplies, and need some guidance. I have 75/11 and 90/14 needles, 40W thread, using sketch paper as a stabilizer, and primarily want to embroider on jersey. Do I have the correct supplies? Everytime I attempt to embroider, thread is bunching together in the bobbin case and the machine says to rethread the upper threads. Please help! I want to get embroidering. JOe

Hello, Hopefully someone can help me on here. I have a Tajima TMAR-K 1508C. Recently I been seeing that the machine shakes a lot when its stitching at certain angles and causes the needle to break at times. Does anyone know why this could be happening? It doesn't shake as much when I change to the hat attachment and run hats. Thanks!

An embroidered patch is a piece of art which is created by using a fabric backing thread and some form of a needle. Embroidered patches can be attached with a pin or can be sewn on, but some of the more modern methods of attachment include iron-on, dryer heat activated adhesive, and Velcro backing. The art of making embroidered patches is decades old but the introduction of new high speed, computerized machines have brought a once rare, time consuming art into mass production.[citation needed] Embroidered patches, an important identification tool for military and other uniformed personnel, trace their roots thousands of years ago to ancient cultures of the Mediterranean, Mideast, China, India and South America where the art of decorating fabric with thread stitching originated.[1] Elaborate hand-stitched designs and patterns were used to embellish the robes of royalty and for religious artifacts.[citation needed] Today, embroidery designs are used by government (including uniforms of the military, emergency services and other specialized workers) sports teams and companies in the private sector to denote rank, job, specific position or specialized unit. Youth groups, including sports teams, scouting organizations and specialized clubs often wear clothing emblazoned with embroidered patches. They are also used by space agencies on the uniforms of astronauts to denote the mission. Since 1971, the sole manufacturer of mission patches for NASA has been A-B Emblem of Weaverville, North Carolina. Space mission patches as well as fire and police patches are collected by enthusiasts as well.

Hello, we have been screen printing for 5 years and are getting a single head embroidery machine in December. I spent the first 3 years of our screen printing experience testing different inks, mesh counts, etc and while it was great I also wasted a lot of money on the wrong supplies. For our embarkment in the embroidery world I would like to minimize the amount of wasted dollars and thought I would ask here what everyone suggests as far as brands and materials. We will be doing mostly hats and polos as that is what we currently outsource the most of but I am sure there will be other stuff that comes our way. I'm looking to start purchasing supplies over the next few weeks while we work through the purchase process of the machine. What does everyone suggest for threads and needles? I know MADEIRA is the most popular for thread but what is the difference between PolyNeon and Rayon? My apparel supplier (Alpha) also sells Triumph needles but I dont know what the difference between Titanium/Chrome and Universal/Ball Point is. What about backing? Primarily on structured hats, what does everyone suggest? These questions may be vague but I'm not sure where else to start than with the basics. Thanks!
