I’d like to try to fill the whole hoop!

Hi I would like to buy a industrial size embroidery machine. Any advice on the machines. Dos and dont"s. Which one is great and ones that are not. Thank you

I spend way too much on embroidery supplies, but my boyfriend is a huge Star Wars nerd, so he's okay with it 😉

This one took me 13.5 fantasy books on Audible ❤️

This is my first mini. Should I keep the fabric around the frame or stitch it behind and hide? I plan to use the hook up top to hang it on a wall.

I dont have the supplies and cant get them currently, so i am tatting with general sewing needle only and am dying!! 😂

I was trying this one design for which the person used a crochet needle to pull the thread through a picot and i ofc didnt have crochet needle. God that was tiring to do it without it!

But i improvised and brainstormed and found a way to do it(after many tries).

Am excited!!

Super excited to learn new stitches!

I'm not entirely sure whether this is satin stitch or straight stitch. The pattern said to complete the area in satin stitch by "using lots of small straight stitches". However, the texture feels nice and there's no fabric showing beneath, progress!

I picked this up today in Oxfam. It’s hand embroidered and dated 1930. Ideally it needs reframing as there are some tiny dead bugs in there as well.

I have a few vintage pieces that I’ve picked up, but this is the oldest.

Been trucking along on this, I kind of like working on a smaller piece about 3.5 x 8.5

I am working on this piece of my cousin. But I can’t decide what to do for the black outline of the stain glass. I will be doing a satin for the glass. For the chain, I feel it will be too bulky and I don’t want to saturate it with black. I think the backstitch will be too minimal with just outlining it. Ideas?!?!

Recently, I started thinking about trying something creative with my hands, as I really love craftsmanship. I had the choice between carving and embroidery. When I saw the pieces you can create with embroidery, I knew I definitely wanted to give it a try. So here it is—it’s actually very relaxing, especially with the right music. I found the “French knots” to be the hardest part. In hindsight, I think I would have liked to use bolder colors. I’d be grateful for any tips on how to make satin stitches look better! 👍🏼

Here’s mine! It was one of my first projects, but it’s still one of my favorites

Is there a high quality brand of Men's button down oxford shirt that doesn't have a back pleat?
Ideally cotton, but perhaps that's impossible without a pleat.

hi, im currently using wilcom embroidery studio, and was wondering if anyone knew how to make the tatami stitch 'fade off' at the edges? im not sure how to properly describe it but ive seen it done before, in things like gradients to make it look like it is blending together. thanks if anyone can help :)

Hello to all the wonderful crafters on this sub! I hope you’re all doing well.

My fiancé does large scale embroidery (like industrial machine) but usually does it on 100% cotton shirts and sweaters.

I am getting married in a few months and want to embroider “Mrs. his last name” on my Tule veil.

Would anyone have any suggestions on how I could guide him to embroider on my veil? Is there a minimum thread count? Is there a certain thickness of the font I should choose? I am clueless on this subject and I am having a difficult time finding resources online.

Sincerely, a bride who wishes she had your skills 🩷

It's my first time doing embroidery and now that ive finished, i dont know what I'm supposed to do with it. There is still some of the crayon visible, but im scared that washing it will remove the stitches. Also I did it on a hoop but its my only hoop so I'm wondering if I have to have a hoop per piece or if its possible to remove it and still look pretty, do I have to cut the excessice cloth around the hoop ?

This is my second work! Still learning! I am not so happy with the grass. Have to figure out how to do this way better. I still need to work on my stitches too. They seem a bit messy and the blending could be done better. Any advice is welcome! I want to improve.
