Machine Embroidery Tips PDF Print E-mail
Written by Marilou Giesbrecht   

Thread
All of the SunBlossom Creations machine embroidery designs are stitched out with Isacord thread. For best results, wind the bobbin with the same brand of thread that you are using.

Jump Stitches
We recommend trimming the jump stitches after each color.

Needles
Change the needle after every few designs.

Sewing Machine Speed
For stitching out the cross stitch designs, set your machine at its slowest speed.

Stabilizer
The cross stitch designs are stitch intensive and so a medium to heavy weight stabilizer is recommended.

H2O Gone Dissolvable Stabilizer is used for the stand-alone, applique and lace designs. For more stability double the water soluble stabilizer.

Fabric
Any fabric can be used, although for the cross stitch designs a 100% cotton heavier weight fabric (Denim, Duck cloth or Aida cloth, etc.) is recommended.

Hooping
Spray adhesive is not recommended, especially for the cross stitch designs. Hoop the fabric along with the stabilizer.

Have Fun!
