Machine Embroidery On Ready Made Fashion Items

Machine Embroidery can be done on so many backgrounds. In this photo you will see the simple handbag which was originally plain. The embroidery in this photo was done using  a piece of silk dupioni ( approximately 20cm x 30cm) using metallic 40wt threads and a needle designed for metallics. Stabilizer is very important for this application as you would prefer the piece to lay flat, with edges pressed back. If you have a sewing advisor and sensor foot system, you can select your fabric type, and use an extra high lift position for weaved, or rattan like materials. Use a size 90 needle to stitch your embroidery piece onto your handbag using a longer stitch length. Embroidery is Blooming Flowers #162 HV




This is an example of large embroidery that has been split and stitched down on a skirt waistband to hold the belt in place.
