Tips for Machine Embroidery
FABRIC TO REMOVE STAIN/SPOT
1. when you have sticky residue on your fabric - cut a piece of brown paper bag and put it over the residue and iron over with a fairly hot iron - takes a few minutes but soon the residue will be off the fabric and on the bag - the lady said she has done this many times and it really works.
HOOPS: tip from provided by Embroidery Library, Inc.
1. Stretch a rubber band around the edge of the inner embroidery hoop. This keeps fabric from moving around in the hoop. Goodbye to puckering.
SNIPS OF THREADS:tip from provided by Embroidery Library, Inc.
1. save all of your thread snips and put into clear glass ornaments for colorful holiday decorations
THREAD:tip from provided by Embroidery Library, Inc.
1. after unwrapping and using your thread, cover the spools with glad press in seal keeps the dust off and easy to see thru the wrap
THREAD HOLDERS:tip from provided by Embroidery Library, Inc.
1. Pony tail holders keep thread from unraveling. The braided kind won't shread or tear the thread.
VELCRO:tip from provided by Embroidery Library, Inc.
1. when sewing on velcro, hold a piece of light plastic (baggie) over the hook side. That way the hooks won't catch on the thread.
