- Embroidery is hot hot hot these days and you can spot it anywhere from the runways of New York to the clothing aisles of your local Target. Time to share our own t-shirt embroidery tutorial so you can get in on the trend! Embroidering a special design is a great way to create your own one-of-a-kind fashion statement, or to simply revive an old shirt that has been sitting in the back of your drawer. In this tutorial we will show you how to straight stitch your design, which is the best introduction for beginners to the technique. If you want to do a bit more exploring, find all of our embroidery basics tutorials.

Tools:
Scissors - feltpaperscissors.com/product...
DMC Embroidery Scissors - feltpaperscissors.com/product...
Embroidery Needles - feltpaperscissors.com/product...
7″ Embroidery Hoop - feltpaperscissors.com/product...
Materials:
T Shirt of choice (non-stretchy material)
Sulky Tear-Away Stabilizer - feltpaperscissors.com/product...
Embroidery Floss - feltpaperscissors.com/product...
Steps:
1. Gather the tools and materials listed above.
2. Cut out the image you want from the template and place it on your shirt. Note that the patterns in the template are mirrored.
3. Trace the image with an iron-on transfer pencil directly onto the printed paper. Trace with firm, even lines, rather than using a sketching motion.
4. Place the image face down in the desired location on your shirt. Make sure to pre-wash your shirt! With a press cloth on top, hold a heated iron (without steam) down for about 10-20 seconds. Temperature and length depends on the fiber content of your shirt. Check to make sure that your image has successfully transferred onto the fabric. Note that once you transfer a design, the markings will be permanent. They may fade over time and with washing.
5. Cut a piece of stabilizer to fit over the entire embroidery hoop. Hoop the stabilizer with the grid side up and tighten.
6. Score the stabilizer along the edge of the hoop with your needle and peel off the paper backing.
7. Lay the shirt with the design on top and press gently onto the stabilizer until it sticks. Smooth out any wrinkles and bumps. Avoid stretching the shirt out too much as it can cause puckering with your finished embroidery.
8. Split your embroidery floss in half (like we did), or use a full strand for a thicker line if desired. Knot the end and begin straight stitching onto your shirt, following the traced design. Make evenly spaced stitches that are not pulled too tight.
9. After you are finished embroidering, gently tear the stabilizer away from the back of the design.
Tips:
We found our basic shirts at Target, and after embroidering on them we realized that the less spandex in the shirt, the better for stitching. If you can, we recommend starting with a linen or 100% cotton shirt. As we mentioned, you will want to pre-wash your shirt before stitching! Once you get to step 5 in the tutorial, you will add a stabilizer to the fabric, which will stiffen it while you stitch. This is certainly helpful for keeping the stitches straight.

me literally 8 seconds into the video: WOAAAAH SLOW IT DOWN HOLD IT A SECOND
andrea nice name
@@jortslover nice name
I just wanted to put an X on my shirt to tell which ways the front lol
🤣
😂
You have a brand tag for that 😅
I've been doing hand embroidery for a few years but there are tricks that I have never tried in this video! Thank you for sharing!
Hello, do you always use stabilisers?
I'm sorry if this is a stupid question but I don't understand the point of the paper stuff if you just trim it off?
TLCTRIBE I didn't get it either
whats the name of this paper? would having muslin fabric on the back of the shirt work the same way?
Elizabeth Qauc I don't think it's necessary, but I think it helps
Caseena Karim I’m wondering the same thing too...
is the one you used not water soluble?
Hello, I'm looking for embroidery in the mesh, you helped me with this technique, I loved it !!!!! Thank you.
the design is really cute 😍
this is the best video for embroidery on a stretchy t-shirt. You are great! This is a perfect idea to use the hoop with the stabilizer this way just putting it under the t-shirt, without hooping it on the front size so that hoop circles are not seen on the t-shirt after the work is done. Especially if you don't want to iron it.
For example, I'm going to make crystal and beads work on my t-shirt and I don't want to use washable stabilizer and wash the new t-shirt having not worn it once (beads and crystals might loose their initial brightness).
Thank you again for the great idea with using the hoop just under the t-shirt!
I am so happy we are able to help! Good luck on your crystal and beads t-shirt❤️
THIS IS VERY HELPFUL THANKYOU SO MUCH😭😭
Wow! Thanks for showing how to put a stencil on a shirt without tracing a print out of a picture! 😌🤍
You bet!
"straight stitch along the design" *does unregular and twisted weird stiches*
yup, i definitly can't do anything straight
i laughEd
loved this so much 😭❤️
This is such a good beginners project!
Omg Lia, this is so cool
Thanks for this, I have different colored fabric so this will definitely work for me to use.
Wonderful!
DIY Embroidered Shirt Great job
Awesome tutorial. Thank you!
Beautiful ❤
Thank you! 😊
OMG! So cute!
Thanks for the video! I was wondering how you finish the project( knotting it at the end)?
Wow! The quality of this video! I LOVE everything about it! The music, the format! ♥️
hungryg I KNOW RIGHT?! I subscribed immediately hehe
thankyou for your sharing easy clear step
Perfect!
I love this
Awesome work💚😘♥💙
Best video so far.😍
Thank you!
Nice idea 👍
Love!!!!!
This is AMAZING
Thank you!
Great video! When you traced the outline of the design, what kind of pen was it? Does it need to be a specific kind of pen? Like a fabric pen or something? And also Im wondering the same thing someone else asked, can we skip using stabilizer by just putting it in an embroidery hoop?
Hi luv ur work would luv to creat something with u how much do u charge for the shirts
I need advice and help! I'm going to McCartney's concert in about a week and I want to embroider some words in cursive. I plan on printing out the words on a fabric transfer sheet, so that when I iron it on the shirt I have a guide to help me. Is this a good way to embroider?
Awesome
also why do you need the white fabric under the stitching?
When you just want an ok boomer shirt
From tik too?
Tik tok
luster Dust ayyeee army
How long does this normally take? And what would be the best route to take if I was trying to put like 3 letters on like a 100 pairs of clothing?
do you need to use a stabilizer or is it one of those things that is just nice to have?
😲 I wanna do dis
Curious but since it’s transfer paper, why did you trace over it before ironing it onto the t-shirt?
if i use a cut away stabilizer am i able to wash it still?
Do you think adding little beads to the stiches would work?
Im bouta do a big chineese dragon on the back of my shirt
heymynameispeter g that's awesome
heymynameispeter g i'm bouta ask my grandma to do something on my shirt cause she's a pro at this and also im a lazy pice of shit lol
peter Garcia good luck with that dude hope it turns out good
au revoir did you even read it? She was saying that she’s lazy
@@nina-cr5pe crazy!! funny
Can I use paper or tissue paper as a stabilizer?
hey .. sorry if this sounds stupid but couldn’t u just put the T-shirt in the hoop and skip a few steps with the paper?
you can't if the shirt is stretchy. it will ruin the shape of the t-shirt. but you can do it if you use non-stretchy fabric as canvas.
You can, after you learn to stitch.
What kind of needle is use? And also the paper in the beginning where you use the iron, is what kind of paper??
Felicidades que hermoso...cómo se llama el papel que coloca debajo d la blusa... saludos desde México Tabasco
Can I just draw with a pencil directly and can I put the fabric in side ring without the paper
WOW😲 GOD BLESS YOU FOR SHARING & SHOWING US THIS UNIQUE TECHNIQUE. MAY JESUS CONTINUE TO BLESS YOU MORE AND MORE! AMEN🤗🤗🤗
Which embroidery will be best on lavender shirt
Hi lovely tutorial! Where did you get those shirts from? I love the color
Lia Griffith yes I love them!!
where can you buy a kit with all of these things?
What type of cotton t shirt fabric would you suggest?
I wanna do this for my sisters xmas present
Awesome gift!
@@Liagriffithx I know! I just gotta learn how to…
But how do you prep the needle and thread do you tie a knot somewhere?
do we really have to use the stabiliser paper for this?
If it's a stretchy shirt then yes
Nope
Is someone going to vote 🗳
Where do I get such items?
#FineEmbroidery
Super
Which cloth u use back
Do I tie any knot at the end to secure the thread from becoming undone?
Yes. Of course
Will it come off in the wash?
Just asking, why do you still use the ring thing when the pattern is already on the shirt? Is it not possible to trace the pattern without using the embroidery ring or something?
@@Liagriffithx ohh...I get it now, thanks for the reply 😊
Nice
Thanks
is it possible to do this without the hoop? I am a beginner at embroidery.
It would make things difficult for you so better to go with hoop.
What happens if I use a stretchy shirt?
I personally think that the sticky plastic is useful for beginners but once you've made a couple of designs, you dont need it anymore
Can we do the embroidery with using the paper that you put in between the hoop?
Sure!
I wanted to enquire what kind of shirt can I used for the embriodary. should the shirt be a cotton, polyester or?
Good question! It doesn't matter as long as it is a tight weave.
@@Liagriffithx I want to add embroidery into my artworks onto a t-shirt design I want to sell. Thing is I am new when it comes to embroidery. what tips can you give me into this embroidery industry? your help is much appreciated
Would you wash this shirt normally in a machine or would you need to hand wash? Loved the video!
What fabric stabilizer do you use?
I think you could use wrapping paper as a substitute from what I've seen
Which paper is this
Will the floss bleed when washed?
Nope! Not in my experience
what if you want to fill in the space inside the outline? Does it ruin the quality of the shirt?
It would actually just reinforce it, like a patch
Wow, so that's how you don't get hoop burn!
Is there anything else I can use as a stabilizer?
There's a lot of different kinds of stabilizer, so it depends. There's Sulky Stick'n Stitch if you want a stabilizer that washes out after sewing.
@@Liagriffithx thank you🥰
Hey Lia, how come you didn't secure the shirt in the hoop? Is the stabilizer keeping it still?
if i were to sell an embroidered shirt would you say that i should use this? Is is absolutely necessary??
thank you!
Why is the paper needed at the back? Can’t I just embroidered directly on the t shirt ?
This is the first time I’ve seen anyone with the same name and same spelling as mine
lol the intro sounds like love me by the 1975
can you just put the shirt in the hoop??
Lia Griffith but is the shirt going to stretch a lot?? Like lose it’s form or is the design going to end up being messy once you take it off?
Yo quiero aprender a bordar
Please do! We love embroidery
Cant you just put the tshirts in the round thing then you don't have to use the paper?
I tried this 2 and it didn’t work
Como q se desperdicia mucho peyon!
Wow ..super .hahahahaa
Could you have used a much smaller hoop so you could save on $$$$ on the amount of stabiliser you wasted. Love 💗 it anyway 🙏❤️🥰👍🏻👋🤩🐶👋🏽🇦🇺🙏
question to people who are also Really Bad At Anything Needlework™, it seems easy but is that an illusion and will I fail horribly, simply destroying my t-shirt? I am scared
Just go slowly and carefully, don't rush!
What kind of threads 🧵 are good for T Shirts 👕 👚 ??
Please let me know .!
We have a whole selection of colors on our website shopliagriffith.com/product-category/embroidery-floss/
Thanks for the information!
Hello, I'm sorry but I don't understand what kind of paper you used (I'm Italian) is this the article? www.amazon.it/Therm-Web-trasferibile-versatile-cucitura/dp/B001687ZDA/ref=sr_1_2?s=kitchen&ie=UTF8&qid=1519717918&sr=1-2&keywords=carta+adesiva+per+tessuti
Lia Griffith thank you so much!
I'm gonna stitch a Yellow Submarine on my Beatles T-shirt
Amazing!
❤️ You will l❤️ve this link Hand Embroidered Earrings👌th-cam.com/video/4F887sKG6aA/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for not telling us how to end it
I. Do. Not. Understand.
How do people do this?!?!
Now to bootleg hanes shirts into other brand 👕
A t shirt that doesnt stretch?? A nice project but seriously, what t shirt doesnt stretch? Use stablizer behind the design, use an embroidery hoop, and clip close to the stablelizer.
OMG❤💗💖💕😍🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺
