I found you earlier tonight after doing a search for your machine type. I’ve stayed and subscribed because of how helpful your videos are! I literally just made this same set (with my own twist, but using some of the same fabric types you did) for my niece’s 4th birthday outfit, and I definitely could’ve benefited from ALL of these tips in Embrilliance! I’m currently on a PE-800 single needle, and I also purchased several of her files to diversify my Etsy store, and I can’t wait to use these tips to make the future samples even better, not to mention easier on ME! 😂 I’m so glad I found your channel! Thank you so much!!
@@1922project hey! I’m working on creating new files now that my sweet birthday got her birthday outfit yesterday and the party is over so I can devote more time to this. What version of Embrilliance allows you to add the portion where you change it to appliqué so it removes the stuff on bottom? When I click the right side and click the color like you did, but it doesn’t let me assign as appliqué. I’m using Enthusiast, but I’ll purchase the module that allows that. I’m thinking Essentials, but want to make sure. Thanks!!
@@Heart2HeartCreations yes, I have Essentials. I don't have Enthusiast so I'm not sure of it's capabilities but maybe send Embrilliance a message just to confirm that Enthusiast doesn't do that before you buy!
@@1922project thanks! I was able to confirm looking at their website and purchased Essentials later that day. I haven’t had a chance to come back to editing though. When I do, I’ll be going step by step with this tutorial 😊
A lot of information in this video. Thank you very mucho . I do have that program and didn’t know how to get rid of some under stitches, I going to save it video to go over all that . 👍👍👍
I just use my normal 75/11 needle and I would say that the temp really depends on your iron. I got a new one and learned very quickly that I had to turn it down some. If I use my heat press I do 305
Hello Kelli, great video as always. I have done a t shirt with glitter embroidery vinyl, but when i wash tested my sample, some of the glitter came off. I had it on the usual 40 degree wash temperature. Would you please tell me what temperature this should be? I would appreciate your advice. Thank you. Regards, Ann.
Hey Ann, thanks so much for watching! So, I haven't had this trouble but have heard of it happening. I almost exclusively use HTV now instead of embroidery vinyl just in case. That being said, I think that if you just wash cold and lay flat to dry it shouldn't be a huge issue. The drier would for sure risk damaging the embroidery vinyl. Hope that helps!
You mentioned that you don’t need to add heat and bond to the Faux Leather Ribbon from hobby lobby. Does it stick to the fabric after ironing it? Or does it just stay separated?
Hi Kelly.. I tried the HTV today but think I made the mistake of ironing it after I had trimmed it, I only did this because I watched a tutorial that said to do this? I had problems with my needles bending and the top thread gathering in the bobbin area? I can only assume it’s because I ironed it and it made it sticky so my machine didn’t like it, maybe I should have left ironing it until after, would you agree! Many thanks 😊
I always iron mine after, Suzi! No need to iron during stitchout. Also, are you using glitter HTV? I'm not sure the regular non-glitter works that well!
Embrilliance (or any editing software) isn't necessary to begin! If you have designs ready to go you can just plug in your flash drive and go! Get to know your machine first and then you'll definitely want some sort of editing software but no need to rush!
It’s from Curtsy Embroidery. She’s on Etsy but I purchased from her website and I believe it was cheaper that way. I bought three different ones I just still need to stitch up the other two!
I do international ship!! If you want to make sure everything is in your budget before you buy feel free to email me at projectfabricsonline@gmail.com with what all you would want and I'll find out the cheapest way to ship. There are built in prices on the site but if I can do it cheaper for you I will!
Oh, and I actually never really buy embroidery vinyl so I'm not really sure. I typically use HTV or the faux leather ribbon from Hobby Lobby. I do believe people really like Angela at Kids Custom Designs/AJ Blanks though!
Shoutout to YOU for recognizing the importance of using all skin tones. I support it.
Yes! Vey important!
I agree !

@@Heart2HeartCreations Oh great! Glad you got it worked out! Can't wait to see what you come up with!
I also go through my design and change order of stitch out especially since I have a single needle machine. Saves time.
Oh I can imagine that it's even more important on a single needle!
I use a pair of wooden chopsticks to hold fabric in place when starting the machine to protect my fingers. 👐🏻
That's an excellent tip! Thanks, Rosanne!
Awesome awesome ty!!!!
A lot of information in this video. Thank you very mucho . I do have that program and didn’t know how to get rid of some under stitches, I going to save it video to go over all that . 👍👍👍
So glad it helped! Thanks for watching!
So cute
Thank you so much!
Nice 👍
New subscriber here 👋🏻 awesome video very detailed and informative.
Welcome! THanks so much!
Could you explain the different vinyls? I'm confused is there Iron ON and also an Embroidery vinyl without a sticky back?
What size needle do you use on vinyl and what heat setting do you use when you iron everything at the end? Great video and thank you!
I just use my normal 75/11 needle and I would say that the temp really depends on your iron. I got a new one and learned very quickly that I had to turn it down some. If I use my heat press I do 305
Your mermaid is so pretty. You mentioned cinnamon fabric. What color thread did you use to outline her body? Beautiful work.
I currently use Metro threads (though I may switch brands when these start to run out) and 7973 matches the cinnamon.
What color thread do you use to outline the vanilla fabric?
Metro Thread 7723 is what I use!

Just found your video! I looked on your website and could not find the skin tone fabric!
Currently out of stock.
Not sure if I’m going to restock or not but I’ll let you know!
New to embroidery. I have some designs on flash drive. Do I need the enbrillance software or can I just use it on my machine?
Embrilliance (or any editing software) isn't necessary to begin! If you have designs ready to go you can just plug in your flash drive and go! Get to know your machine first and then you'll definitely want some sort of editing software but no need to rush!
Thank you so much. Appreciate your help and encouragement. Blessings to you.
Hi! What program do you used for embroidery because I have Mac and PE Design doesn’t run on Mac. Thanks!
I highly recommend Embrilliance! I use a Mac as well and it works beautifully and is very user friendly!
@@1922project Thanks! I appreciate your help!
Do I need to heat press the vinyl after stitching?
I always do!
What kind of needles do you recommend for embroidering letters directly onto faux leather and vinyl please?
I use 75/11 for everything. Not sure that’s the “right” answer but it works for me!
@@1922project thank you
Where did you purchased the mermaid?
It’s from Curtsy Embroidery. She’s on Etsy but I purchased from her website and I believe it was cheaper that way. I bought three different ones I just still need to stitch up the other two!
Where do you ship from for your fabrics?
Hi Nicole! We are located in the US (Texas)
Hi, what size hoop do you use for kids shirts? Thanks
The 8x9 is what I use for most shirts but the really small ones require something smaller. Hope that helps!
@@1922project thanks!
Where do you recommend to buy embroidery vinyl online?
Do you do international shipping for your fabrics?

Do you still sell the skin tone fabric bundles?
I do!! It’s on my website: projectfabricsonline.com
What font are you using?
It's called Sarah from Stitchtopia! I use it often!
I'm designer
Where did you find the font at?
