How to Embroider On Clothing : Tips and Tricks and Product Recommendations!

Anything you're going to put through the washing machine, make sure the exposed threads aren't too long! Use couching stitches and other techniques that keep the visible parts of the stitches nice and short and they'll be less likely to catch on something in the wash. My first-ever embroidery project was a patch of my favorite Pokemon. I put it on one of my favorite dresses, but because of the long satin stitches I used as fills, the whole thing got utterly destroyed in the wash. I had to remove the patch completely, and the glue I used stained the dress permanently.

What about a cotton tee with less stretch? Is that more successful?

Oh, I get it now. Thank you for this video.

So good and helpful!!! Thank you

EXCELLENT! So helpful!

How can I place the shape I made on cotton fabric on another fabric?

Does embroidery on hoodie also needs a stabilizer on the back ?

Very thorough! Thanks! ❤️

when applying the stabilizer, could you just apply it on the shirt inside out since the positioning would be the same when flipped back? would make it a lot easier to apply the stabilizer on the flat shirt inside out rather than trying to fit it through the neck hole

I think your video is excellant. Thank you. I have used the starch paper for machine sewing one time. It was a lot of fun.

My friend use to embroider over stains on her kids clothes. Jeans need a strong needle.

Thank you for the very informative video! I’m a beginner embroider and wanted to do something on a shirt for a friend and had no idea how to proceed. Thank you for the guidance!

Nice work ❤🛎️

thank you so much!! this video is so clear and helpful. I especially appreciate the product recommendations-- there are so many different stabilizers out there, it's hard to know where to start. I have a question: when working with a product like super solvy and using a permanent marker (like a micron pen) to trace a design, do I have to worry about the black marker showing through the final embroidery piece if I use light colored threads? If anybody out there knows the answer or has thoughts/opinions, I'd love to hear them!

Really enjoyed your explanation thank you😊

❤ΤΕΛΕΙΟ!!!!

thank you for this!

When deciding where you want the design to go, I think it would be easier to turn the sweater inside out and then place the stabilizer. It eliminates the guesswork and finagling

What needles do you use on jeans? Sweatshirts? Sweaters?

i’m new to embroidering on clothes and i’ve been struggling to find helpful info for beginners, this is absolutely AMAZING and is extremely helpful. thank you SO much!!

Thank you! I've just finished the classic white linen shirt I love and it's just begging for a design.
Are those your 2 dogs? Perfect subject for a sweat shirt. Cute! Looks like a mom and her pup.
DMC in my opinion is the gold standard in threads. The best quality & variety of colors.
Love your tats btw.

Can you embroyd on a cotton shirt? If so, do you need a stabiliser?

Thanks for sharing all this information, very clear and many options to choose from

Is the Pellon tear away stabilizer supposed to stay with the clothing? I mean, it looks like you just teared away the excess part, and the part that supported the embroidery was still there?

Very helpful

I want to do embroidery on my jacket sleeves, will it itch?? that's what I'm afraid of LOL I have been doing embroidery for a few years but never on clothing!

Stick & Stitch! I've waited my whole to find some invention to be able to stitch my Levi jacket!! Many thanks to you!❤❤❤

This was so helpful! Great video thank you <3

Thank you for this video!! Was always planning to try to embroider on clothes but its so hard finding the right video 😭💜💜

I’m new to embroidery and a new follower and can I just say your videos are the absolute best! Thank you so much for explaining things so clearly, and for the wonderful recommendations. I only wish I had gotten into this craft sooner!

Do you put anything over the inside/back of the stitches once it’s done?

This was a really great video! Thank you for being so in depth and speaking on the product and showing how you use them. Extremely helpful!

super helpful! Thank you.

Good idea. Thanks.

Do you need to fully take off the stabilizer inside/under the fabric after you’re done or just the leftover on the outside of the design? I’m assuming we leave what’s sort of inside the design and not really visible

Thank you for sharing your knowledge! :) I’m new to embroidery & you have extremely helpful.

Excellent video, very clear, concise and helpful. Subscribed :)

can i just say, the fact that you did more than one type of clothing to embroider on is fantastic because i haven't watched anyone else explain that yet. im just beginning to hand embroider and would like to sell my stuff. so me watching this video was really helpful towards me being able to do that. thank you.

Could you also hand draw on the stick and stitch fabric instead of printing?

Thank you for sharing. Love all the tips and tricks. I love do 3D embroidery on denim. But it always cringkle or stretch all over my embroidery edges. May I have the tips so I can have a nice fine embroidery without cringkle all over the edges? Thank you so much before 💖💖💖💖

Thank you so much for this video! 🙏 I have not embroidered in over 40 years and these tips will help me get back into the groove with confidence! 😀

You are a saint! A thousand times thank you for adding links in the description, I've been searching for hours but I didn't really know what to look for, I was super close to giving up.

Super helpful, I knew that a tee would be difficult to stitch. Thank you for your video

you're the fucking coolest

This is such a helpful video! Thank you thank you!! I didn't know about the stick n stitch

This is amazing, thank you so much for all the effort you went to for this. You have covered all of my questions and more that I hadn't yet thought of. I also have ADHD so I struggle sitting through entire videos but everything was relevant and the information/tips were all presented in a very chronological way, so it kept my interest the whole way through. At the moment I'm only doing my first embroidery and I'm sewing purchased patches onto a jacket but this is the next step that I want to learn so I am writing a shopping list of the tools I will need for this next step. Thanks again.

Thanks so much for your clear instructions. I'm going to try some denim jeans. Thanks again.

Hi. Can you embroider on crocheted fabric?

Very nice 👌

Can I use any thread for embroidery or should I only use embroidery threads ?
