Just wanted to let you know that I watched your video and out of all of them I watched, yours was superior. My project turned out perfect with your method. Before that I had destroyed 8 Tee-Shirts. Thank you so much for teaching me the proper way.
+Deborah Shaw I'm glad you enjoyed the video and were able to make a perfect t-shirt. Can I ask what was different with my method than others? I am curious! Please be sure to like and subscribe to our channel. We plan to have more machine embroidery videos in the future.
Hello,
You used a different Stabilizer. It was so awesome. Not just that, your explanation was very easy to understand. Step by step you guided me through the process and I was able to do this without a hitch. Thank you so much for being a good teacher. Since I wrote to you I have done six more with ease. In the future I will most differently be watching for your videos. I did like your channel and did subscribe.
+Deborah Shaw Thanks Deborah. It's good to know what we are doing right! Glad to hear you are able to make a bunch of t-shirts! You might enjoy the "In the hoop" projects... they are so much fun! I have a video on them and there are lots of great designers making ITH project patterns.

Needlepointers Shut the fuck up
Hi. Glad you enjoyed our video. I used a Schmetz Embroidery Needle size 90/14. This is the size I generally use for embroidery. Please click the 'Like' button on our video and subscribe to our channel. We will be having more machine embroidery projects coming up. Let me know if there is a technique/project you are interested in!

It's crazy to me that sewing machines are digital these days.
+MissK Pyle I thought the same thing when I purchased my other machine. They had options for machines where you could download different stitches! Embroidery machines are a lot of fun though... I have gotten into making "in the hoop" bags and other items which are all stitched by the machine. But, it's hard to say "I made this bag" when the machine does all of the work! :)
Shut the fuck up
MissKPyle. We have mini computers in our pockets now
Lexxi Smith Lmfao I ugly laughed at this reply
@@lexxismith4701 hey lexxi, hows the muslimization of the west going?
At last, a video that doesn't just show a machine stitching, but actually shows how you set it up. Thank you.
+M Rik Rutter-DaCosta You're welcome.
I use hair clips to hold my fabric out of the way and it works amazingly
+Eva Williams Good idea.

I like the idea to use the egg crate to keep the thread in order!
Thanks Pam!
I just wish you'd shown at least one color thread switch.

Thank you for the video on how to embroider a T-shirt. The instructions and details are very precise and easy to understand. Thanks for sharing!
Jennie Young you’re welcome sweetheart
This is crazy that we can do this these days. Thank you for showing the full process.
I liked your precise presentation on this video. Will now be embroidering my first T-shirt.
Thank you so much. Been trying to find out how it would come out on clothing before I purchased my own machine. You helped a lot
Brilliant and informative video. Love the design and Your Embroidery machine.. Thanks for taking the time to make and share
hi im looking for a sewing machine that can digitally embroid but also be able to handle thicker fabrics my budget is somwhere under 300 what should i do?
Hi Yo !! I do not know if the inexpensive machines < $300 would be able to handle thicker fabrics or not. Please consult the manufacturers.
Thank you for the great video . I'm sewing my first embroidery blanket with a lot of mistakes
You give me hope
Thanks, I hope your embroidery blanket is turning out nicely! We have lots of other machine embroidery videos on our site: needlepointers.com/main/ShowArticles.aspx?NavID=2981
Love the video my question is I noticed you used the Sulky Sticky + which is a tear away. I thought you were suppose to use cut away on stretchy materials. I swear this stabilizer has me so confused. I don't know what to use on what.
+Djidade Muhavi I have never had any problems with the tear away stabilizer as it doesn't wash out the same as cut away. For t-shirts though, I think it's important to use the sticky back stabilizer because the t-shirt can stretch and move in the hoop while embroidering. The sticky back keeps this from happening. I don't know if they make sticky back cut away stabilizer. Thank you for your comment and I hope you subscribe to our channel and click like on our video!
This is really informative! I have plans to do this...
Thank you so much! I am new to embroidery and now I know how to do a t-shirt.
This is so pretty. I didn't know it even existed so it opened a whole new world to me. It takes some time, but the result is great!

I watched this video because I am about to apply for an embroidery position and wanted to get an idea on how it's done. After seeing this, I feel like it would be a really fun job to do and at least I will have some knowledge to start out with. Thanks for the video!
You are welcome! Good luck with the job interview! Let us know how it goes.
My sister just sent me some machine embroidered towels, and this video explained the whole process much better than several other ones I watched. I worked in a machine shop with computer-controlled machine tools for years, and I'm fascinated by how the same kind of machine positioning and mapping software technologies are being applied to sewing machines, and are available for use in our own houses! And just as I admire quilters and knitters, I'm impressed by all of you sewing machine enthusiasts out there creating such complex and beautiful patterns on fabric.
Thanks for your kind comments, Jack. We have many other machine embroidery videos available here: www.needlepointers.com/main/ShowArticles.aspx?NavID=2981.

Hi I wonder if you could help me. I've recently purchased a Futura XL400. When I tried the tutorial design flower, it embroided really fast. However when I tried to do my own design with AutoPunch it stitches really slow even though the speed slider is set to maximum? Thanks.
I have not digitized patterns myself so I cannot give you much advice. I can say that some patterns stitch faster than others, it depends on what it's stitching as to whether the machine can go faster. You should look around in the software though, because maybe there is a speed setting in there which is making it go slower. Also, I know my Brother machine has the same slider as yours but it only is for regular sewing and not for embroidery. The embroidery setting is in a different place, so maybe your machine is similar. Happy Embroidering!
Thanks for the reply. I'll dig deeper and see what I can find!

How much thread did this take to do? (Love your video btw!)
I can't really say. It was much less than a spool for each color.
+Needlepointers de
Do u have to change thread after each color is finish?
Yes it is beautiful
Thank you for posting

What kind of machine is it? You may need to take it to your dealer for servicing.
OMG thats so beautiful
Yeah, Dashie is pretty, but nopony out-cutes me!
Wow great video, how much a machine like that cost?
good job
Great video and very informative. It has never occurred to me to put the sticky stabilizer on the back. I was taught to hoop it and then use a sharp object to cut it out around the edges. Kudos! One thing, it looks like you might still have the plastic removable film on your hoop.
Glad it was helpful!
hi... when i embroider direct to a t shirt... it creates holes... i even used 3 plies of tear away stabilizer... i am using innovis nv 800... and new to this embroidery stuff... does the sticky stabilizer help preventing the holes?
There could be many reasons. The shirt could be getting caught and stretched in the stitches causing the holes. The design you are stitching could be very dense and causing the many stitches to create holes. It couldn't hurt to try the sticky back stabilizer and if you have a dense pattern even float another layer of tear-away underneath. Also, you could try a layer of wash away stabilizer on top to give more support during stitching.
Thank you for this great video. Pls what is the name of this Machine? Is it computerized Embroidery machine?
Hi. Yes, it is a computerized embroidery machine, Brother Innovis 4000D. Please see our page for more information, www.needlepointers.com/main/youtubecontent.aspx?youtubepageid=54.
Love that design, where can you download designs, for NV800E Brother embroidery machine?
Hi Gayle! I'm glad you enjoyed our video. There are many places where you can purchase designs online. I have a series of videos which show different functions of a Brother Innovis series (www.needlepointers.com/main/youtubecontent.aspx?youtubepageid=98) and it also includes how to download designs and how to copy them to a USB which you may find helpful. We have a collection of links to free machine embroidery designs (www.needlepointers.com/main/showarticles.aspx?navid=1496) that can be downloaded. These designers will also have paid designs you can download. And on our Machine Embroidery Videos page (www.needlepointers.com/main/showarticles.aspx?navid=2981) you will find lots of other tutorials and project ideas you can make with your embroidery machine. Happy Stitching!
I enjoyed this - very easy to follow! Thank you! I am new to embroidery, having just bought a new machine .... how do you change thread colors while embroidering?
Norma, congratulations on the purchase of a new embroidery machine! You will have so much fun with it. When you are embroidering, the pattern has stop points between each color. So, when it's done with a color, the machine will stop and prompt you to change to the next color. You take out the current color thread and then thread the new color on the machine. Then press the button and it will start stitching again! Happy Embroidering!
Thank you very much!!
Hi, I think the thread will come off after we put that T-shirt in washer machine for 2-3 times. Do you put anything over the embroidery project ? Thanks
Hi. Thanks for your question. The thread is sewn onto the shirt so it will not come out in the washer even if you wash it 10 times. Similar to how your shirt is sewn together, the thread is sewn onto the shirt. It does not come off. You do not put anything over it.
Also, are you supposed to use a specific needle # for embroidery? Total newbie here - helping my son set up a clothing company that he's been working on for awhile now :)
Jenny, thanks for your question. I usually use a Schmetz Embroidery needle size 90/14 when I do embroidery.
EE GADS who will wear that hideous T..🧐
price dear
Hi there, loved the video! What’s the name of the sewing machine you used? The link in your description doesn’t seem to work anymore
Hi Sierra, I have a Brother Innovis 4000D machine. You can read more about it here: www.needlepointers.com/main/youtubecontent.aspx?TH-camPageID=54
Hi. When using this method of hooping did ever happen to you after removing the t-shirt from the hoop to find holes in the t-shirt in the place where the hoop was? I am using this method and until now I destroyed 3 t-shirts. Any idea why this is happening? Thank you.
Livia, I have never had this happen to me when embroidering. The shirt will have marks where it was hooped like shown here: th-cam.com/video/F9T7oCdg3L0/w-d-xo.html. But I can't think of a way it would have holes. When you embroider other fabrics, does this also happen? And if the holes are always in the same place, check your hoop for burrs or something that would make the holes. You could also try to float the t-shirt in the hoop instead of actually hooping the shirt. Watch this video for how to float your t-shirt th-cam.com/video/xEHLafchO4k/w-d-xo.html. You may not need the cutaway stabilizer if your pattern is not dense. Hope this helps!
I have a baby lock flourish 2 and it keeps jamming (sews in the same spot and gets stuck in the bobbin) do you have an idea why this is happening and how I can fix it?
I don't know about Babylock in particular, but try taking out your top thread and bobbin and thread from scratch again. Also, on my brother machine, I made the mistake once of putting the bobbin chase in before putting on the plate. If you took apart your machine to clean out the thread, be sure you put the bobbin case cover (screwed down) on first and then put in the bobbin chase. Hope this helps!
Where can I get this exact embroidery machine? Or what is a good embroidery machine to buy in 2020? I really like the big screen
Star, I talk about my machine and some tips on purchasing a machine in my post here: www.needlepointers.com/main/youtubecontent.aspx?TH-camPageID=54. The machines with large screens retail prices are pretty high, but you may be able to find an older model that was traded in at a dealer for a good price. Happy Embroidering!
One little issue is the person selling mlp patterns ummm unfortunately they cant since mlp belongs to discovery family/ Hasbro so what they did was illegal
Yeah, you are correct. They are no longer selling the patterns.
can anyone do a name/lettering tutorial? the name won't fit in the hoop, would like large letters, so that invovles doing a few letters per hooping (correct term?) and then moving the hoop over to put more letters.
Hi. I have heard of this technique but have not tried it yet myself.
For the needle of the machine, if it has ever broken for you, which one would u recommend buying? Because mine broke and I'm not sure what kind of needle to purchase
Hi tinykidvale ! Great question! I prefer to use Schmetz Embroidery needles size 90 /14 when I embroider. I have a link to them near the end of this page: www.needlepointers.com/main/youtubecontent.aspx?youtubepageid=54. Happy Embroidering!
Could you share links to the stabilizer and also the iron on material you mentioned for the inside of the shirt? Thanks!!
Jenny, please go to our page www.needlepointers.com/main/youtubecontent.aspx?youtubepageid=54 on this project and near the end are links to the products I discussed. Thanks for watching our video!
thank you for taking the time to make this tutorial. i wanted to ask, If I wanted to do a large design on a shirt similar to the gucci kat embroidered shirt could I use this exact embroidery machine?
Hey what size is the design? And how long do it take to embroider a design with multi colors and of the sizing you did?
Lyra, each design has different amounts of stitch time. Even designs that are the same size can vary greatly on the amount of stitch time depending on the amount of stitches there are in the design. Each machine also stitches at a specific rate so the machine can also make a big difference in time. The design I stitched was a 5"x7" design.
What program can we used to convert a regular design?
If you want a free software, there would be inkscape with the inkstitch extension. It works (format would be EXP) but can be tiresome if you are not familiar with vector/graphic software.
Can you tell me where can I buy the plain T-shirts? They look good quality
I usually purchase t-shirts from Joann Fabrics or Michaels stores. We have some links to t-shirts available on our page here too: www.needlepointers.com/main/youtubecontent.aspx?TH-camPageID=54
Hi, really nice work 🤍 and also wondering where is your blank T-shirt from???
I buy blanks from Joann Fabrics or Michaels Crafts. Watch for a sale to get a good price on them! They usually have many colors.
Thanks for a GREAT video!
Where you get your machine at ? Walmart is sold out, how do you upload your file to the machine ?
Hi Ashly! I have more information on buying a machine here www.needlepointers.com/main/youtubecontent.aspx?youtubepageid=54. And I have several other how to videos for machine embroidery including uploading the file here: www.needlepointers.com/main/youtubecontent.aspx?youtubepageid=98. Hope this helps! Happy Sewing!
how’d you get the print ? like can you just print any image out? and then how’d you get it on the machine and stuff
Hi Sam & Kate! Thank you for your interest in our video. In order for the embroidery machine to stitch the pattern, the image must be digitized into a pattern for the machine. The pattern is in a computer file and a USB or direct connection to your PC is used to copy the pattern onto the machine so it can stitch. I have more info on embroidery machines here: www.needlepointers.com/main/youtubecontent.aspx?youtubepageid=54
Amazing content
thank you for sharing feel more confident at having a go now xx
I'm so glad!
It was a very detailed video, but it didn't show how to put the tread on and what to do when it time to change the color. For those of us that don't know.
Hi Corey. Changing the thread on a machine is something everyone who owns the machine should already know how to do. The machine stops when it's time for a thread color change. At that time, you would take out the current thread and then thread the new color. This machine the threading is very quick and easy and it even threads the needle for you. :)
I apologize if I missed it but did you prewash your fabric?
Since T-Shirts are prone to shrinkage, it is recommended to wash them first.
What is the correct name of your machine
Thanks for your question. I have a Brother Innovis 4000D machine. It is a discontinued model.
❤️😍😍
How did you upload the image? Can you upload any image and it will auto stitch it?
Jacob, images must be digitized into a pattern which is then used by the embroidery machine to stitch. So, you do not upload an image. Digitizing software probably has ways to upload an image to then make a pattern. Hope this helps!
Thank you so much, how do I know how far down I need to put the hoop from the neckline?
This would depend on your pattern and where you want to place it. This Embroiders Helper may be helpful to you: www.needlepointers.com/main/youtubecontent.aspx?youtubepageid=505
Great vid. In the past my tshirts have puckered a little. I'm looking forward to trying your method. Also sending to my DD -- I think she has same machine. Will any sticky tear a way work? Thank you.
Am subbing!
We are glad you liked the video! I have not tried other brands of sticky back stabilizer but I would expect them to work as well. Happy Stitching and thanks for the sub!
Hi! nice work!
Can you tell me the good machines for beginners? thanks
+Marcio Souza Marcio, it's hard to recommend machines as everyone has certain preferences or types of things they will be sewing. I have a couple of machines, one is a Bernina 240 which is a workhorse and does basic sewing and has quite a few decorative stitches. I also have the Brother Innovis 4000D which I bought used and this machine does both sewing and embroidery. If you are interested in an embroidery machine, most people recommend to buy the one with the biggest hoop you can afford. With embroidery, the limitation you come up on is the hoop size so having a bigger size available nice. Unfortunately, the bigger sizes mean bigger prices. I would recommend you visit a local sewing machine store(s) and see what options they have.
I would recommend the Brother SE400. I love it.
You are right ma'am I just got my Pe800, and realized it only came with a 5x7 hoop, can a bigger hoop be attached to this machine purchased. I might have to call Brother if I cant get any answer. I have been asking around on youtube.
going to try this have not been able to do t shrits maybe now I can thanks
Good luck! Were you able to make the t-shirt?
Bonjour, je viens de regarder votre vidéo et elle est très intéressante, j'ai aussi une machine une aiguille et mon dieu que c'est dur de faire un t-shirts sans bras libre comme une multi-aiguilles. Pouvez-vous me donner le lien de la votre stabilisateur que vous mettez sous le t-shirt, je souhaiterais acheter exactement le même. En vous remerciant pour vos précisions.
Hi! Thank you for your question, I use Sulky Sticky+ Stabilizer for T-Shirts. You can find a link to purchase it at the end of this page: www.needlepointers.com/main/youtubecontent.aspx?youtubepageid=54
Did you use a stretch embroidery needle for this project?
I use a regular embroidery needle usually 90/14. Since there is stabilizer underneath you don't use a stretch needle.
This is how you make a video !!
Hey guys anyone can help me with a school can I learn to do this. Please guys
I'm sorry but I don't know of a school to learn to embroider. When you purchase a machine, usually they have lessons to teach you how to use it.
Thanks for the information. I've been told that to embroider a t-shirt you'll need a tearaway stabilizer under the t-shirt and a washaway stabilizer over it. Do you ever tried this method and come to the conclusion that the sticky tearaway stabilizer alone is the best or would you consider both methods to be succesfull?
Daniela, the sticky tearaway stabilizer is a tearaway stabilizer and I feel it works better than a normal tearaway because it keeps the t-shirt from stretching or moving in the hoop as it's being sewn. If you are sewing a dense pattern, more layers of tearaway (or cutaway) can be floated underneath the hoop to add more stability. There is no need to have a washaway on t-shirts unless they are fluffy or something other than normal t-shirt material. Washaway is used to hold down the pile of a fluffy fabric like a towel. This allows the stitches to stay up above the fabric and not disappear within the fabric. The washaway does not provide any stability once the t-shirt is washed. Happy Sewing!
@@Needlepointers thank you so much
very helpful video. thank you! i'm brand new to embroidery. I just did my first test and forgot to seperate front and back of the material. they got stitched together. lol. anyways, great video. thanks again!

Debby, I like to use the Sulky Sticky back stabilizer and Schmetz 90/14 needles. You can find more information and links to these items on this page: www.needlepointers.com/main/youtubecontent.aspx?TH-campageid=54.
@@Needlepointers Thanks much!
I want to find a machine that can stitch custom-designed lettering from shoulder to shoulder?
Probably well out of my price range tho lol
I got some great designs....
You would probably need to stitch the design in sections, rehooping as you go.
How much does the machine cost?
Very helpful thank you
You're welcome!
Would this work with a Brother 3600D? :)
Daniela, the basic steps I outline in the video will work for any embroidery machine. The size of the design will need to fit within the design sizes your machine can stitch.
Thank you for ur helpful video, at 12:21 till 12:24 , the machine produce sound from the Fan (( i think )) is that normal, my XV machine make the same sound (( sometimes )) or do i need to oil something ?! ,,, Thank u so much
Mine makes that sound sometimes as it's starting up. I don't think it's a fan. Brother machines cannot be oiled by the user so if your machine is a Brother, it should be taken in for maintenance. I took my machine in recently, but I can't say if I've heard this noise since then. It was much quieter and less noises after the maintenance though! If you have a machine that is self oiling, you usually need to oil those regularly.
yes its Brother dream machine , i did 2.2M stitches , and it makes this sound when start (( sometimes )) but does that sound normal ?! what do u think ?
Note: i am from Jordan and we do not have authorized brother dealer, i bought my machine online :) ,,, and i am electrical engineer :) so i use the service manual to oil the machine, however, I do not know if this noise normal or not, what is ur experience?
I'm sorry, but I'm not a technician so I cannot say if it's normal or not. If you are on Facebook, you can join the group here: facebook.com/groups/569033603186275/ which is for Brother machines like yours. You could then search the group to see if someone else answered your question or you can post the question. There are lots of helpful people on the group including technicians.
do you wash your Tshirts for you embroider on them?
+Charlotte Claypoole I don't wash them. But, I've heard recommendations both ways though.
Thank you for this informative video. Can you please tell me what type and size needle you used? Thanks....
Are you willing to make a patch do you take orders
Sorry, I do not take orders. I would recommend looking for an embroidery person in your area locally.
Thanks! Very helpful!
Are the shirts still comfortable? With the embroidery on them?
I put a soft iron on stabilizer over the stitches on the back of the shirt to make it more comfortable for kids.
What kind of needle do you use on jersey fabric?
I use Schmetz Embroidery Needles size 90/14 for my embroidery, even on the t-shirts. With the stabilizer, I want to use a sharp needle.
So, do you have to change the thread for each color or does it do a couple colors at a time? How does the egg carton of colors get used??? (Beginner)
Alisha, the machine stops after it's done stitching each color so you can change the thread.
I have a new video which shows how you switch colors on an embroidery machine. th-cam.com/video/7BTWMLKcBO0/w-d-xo.html
Why would you use tear away instead of cut away. I have heard the saying that if you wear it you don't tear it.
+Twtywill Yarn Williams I have never had any problems with the tear away stabilizer as it doesn't wash out the same as cut away. For t-shirts though, I think it's important to use the sticky back stabilizer because the t-shirt can stretch and move in the hoop while embroidering. The sticky back keeps this from happening. I don't know if they make sticky back cut away stabilizer. Thank you for your comment and I hope you subscribe to our channel and click like on our video!
Wife has just ordered one loves her sewing but looks as if it’s going to take a long time to learn she makes horses doorstops flowers Christmas stockings and lots more I hope she likes it and thankyou for the video
I need a t shirt for man (embroidery shin-chan) pls help me how can I buy😭🙏
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I was thinking on investing in an embroidery machine. About how much does it cost for supplies for each pattern?
Well, that would depend on what you are making. If you are embroidering on a T-Shirt you need to buy a blank t-shirt, sticky back stabilizer, colored threads, bobbin thread and soft interfacing. You can get most of the supplies at your local Joann store or other fabric store. A lot of them you can use on more than one project so it's hard to estimate the cost for just one thing. The machine itself will be a much larger investment.
Thanks!
If I was to just get a cheap embroidery machine all I would need to do is purchase a bigger hoop if I wanted to do a bigger design?
Hi Nate. I'm sorry to say that when you buy a machine it has fixed sizes of hoops that it supports. So you cannot buy a cheap machine and then buy a bigger hoop as it won't work with that machine. I would recommend that you visit your local sewing machine dealer and see what they have and they can fit a machine to your needs. The general rule of thumb is that you want to buy the machine with the biggest hoop that you can afford. The biggest hoop mine has is a 7x12 and there hasn't been often that I have wished I had a bigger one. Also, check out if your dealer has trade ins as those can be a good deal!
Very helpful. Thank you very much for sharing.

hi where do you get your sticky back from please sheila
This mashine is "indian" price plz...??
I'm sorry, the machine I have is no longer produced. New machines in the USA can range anywhere from $500 - $18,000 depending on the features. I recommend you visit a sewing machine retailer in your country to find out the prices and features available.
