Embroidery :Machine Embroidery Tips & Tricks

Hi IL's,
YouTube - Achillea & Cow Parsley: Creating Machine Embroidery
Alison Holt's lessons are very simple.Thought i''ll share it with my fellow beginners.
Experts dont at me as u will find it a waste of time

Kudos to me..,as i've fixed the problem myself...
So learners make... sure the foot knob is turned down while doing free-hand embi(without any feet).That did the magic for me

Hi,
Here I am with another query...
1.Do we have to stitch the outline of a design before filling the design or after it?
2.Outline also can be done free hand?

hey bindu,
i just saw this thread.im also in the same boat as u.so im also a learner.
vidu ji,
thanx.
im trying ur trial and error method.

So nice to have u here,Archu.It is really enthusing to know that there is someone learning along.It'll be very helpfull to discuss things and progress faster

I am practising alphabets ,vertical and horizontal ovals using zig-zag stitch.So far so good

So what are u learning right now?

hi bindu
even i am with a L board only.... do u use the ordinary machine or any special one... i have usha janome.... can we make embroidery in it... that has the zig zag feature in it

Do u mean the janome stitch magic?

Sure you can.

Hi Bindhu, archu & viji,
howz your embroidery progressing? sorry I missed this thread. you will have to make outline for designs before you begin filling, & of course you have to do it by free hand only.

hi bindhu

what shilpa said was absolutely right.......if the problem is on top of the cloth u can adjust the bobbin screw .if below adjust the knob above........hope ur thread will be informative to everybody.
