This was the perfect video to help me get started! Excellent instructions and demonstration. I have completed my first three blankets and am so excited. Thank you!
Oh yay! That’s awesome! I’m so glad this video could help. Feel free to tag me on Instagram @southernsewingcompany with your work, I would love to see it! Thanks again for watching and reaching out!
Best tutorial on this I've seen ❤. After a little trial and error (and some aggravation because I didn't have the adhesive wash away stabilizer so I pinned on tear away... don't do that 😂) I got the hang of it. Your stitches are perfect ❤
I tried this and it turned out amazing!!!! Thank you for all these step by step videos. I’m going to see if you have any videos on flowers. I’m hooked now!
Thank you for the comments!! I have one hand-embroidery video on a jean jacket that includes flowers, but I'm still working on adding new videos as often as I can! I'll keep flowers in mind :)
This is incredible, thank you so much! Especially the splitting of floss by just pulling one out straight up. But so many good tips for a beginner like me, love it. Thanks :)
Thank you for your video! It is very helpful. Do find it necessary to cover the back stitches to make sure the stitches do not come loss? Do you have a recommendation to cover up the stiches?
You’re welcome! I haven’t found it necessary to cover the back yet. We’ve got swaddles here that are years old that are still holding on strong, despite my non-sorting laundry methods 😂😂. I definitely don’t think it would hurt though!
@@Melissa-ij5mn hey, Melissa! I haven’t on some and I have on others. The ones without and loved long lives! The ones that I make for others I do and the ones I keep I don’t, just because I’m lazy 😂. I like this Sulky product for covering stitches:amzn.to/46A9Hfp.
I made one when my girlfriend got a surprise baby sister in her 20s and I think I’m the favorite daughter now 😌😌 Just kidding! But for real it’s suchhhh a lovely design and so much easier than it looks Thx for sharing !!!
Thank you! This is the pack that I’m using: amzn.to/3Y7HCsd And I’ve chosen one of the middle sizes. I couldn’t tell you the exact size but probably 5-6?
So helpful! Loved this tutorial! I tried this process out for the first time today and it went great except I had some puckering in between and around my lettering. I was using a strechy material so I think that is why. Any tips on how to prevent this from happening?
Hey! I’m so glad it went well! As for the puckering, sometimes it can happen because the fabric is a little too tight in the hoop (usually). Especially if it’s happening in between your letters. If you know you’re not pulling the stitches too tightly, I would try to loosen fabric a little! I hope this helps! -Ashley
@ I feel like I had a better outcome without it…but really just a personal preference! The swaddle material is so dainty, I felt like the stick and stitch was so heavy. But honestly it works just fine if that’s what you have!
@@southernsewingcothat would be so awesome! I went to hobby lobby to purchase everything in the video. I’m currently practicing and because of this video it’s coming out beautifully. Thank you so much! I do however want to make Christmas ones but I want big bold words that are a lot thicker :)
I did find a trick for the sleeve! I’m sending you to another video I have ❤️. There’s another stabilizer that would work better. th-cam.com/video/_hAsFicx3J8/w-d-xo.html
I usually use a size 5 DMC needle, and I can wiggle all 6 strands through! Or I like the crewel needles too, which have a little bigger eye and are super sharp. I usually save the chenille needles for knit sweaters and yarn!
Why am I so worried about my initial knot pulling through? Is there any other way to start? I was considering doing it on a thermal blanket so I feel like the knot may come through at some point. Should I put a knot and leave a tail to weave through the back stitches once my first letter is done? But thank you so much for this tutorial!!!! ❤❤❤
Hey, Jane! There are definitely other ways to begin if you’re worried about the knot pulling through. A good option that you mentioned is to weave the tail back through. You can also go on TH-cam and look up an anchor stitch ( I don’t have a video of this yet!). I hope this helps. Thanks for watching my tutorial and for the comment!
@@Catherine__2916 hi! So for beginner embroidery I would recommend embroidery floss! I don’t typically use yarn unless it’s for a name sweater. But you certainly can!
@ I typically buy colors as needed, but if you’re just starting out a bundle is great! Or if you’re doing a project and need several colors. I’m terrible at matching colors lol
Hey! I think this might be a personal preference thing! I usually pull enough out so that I can stretch my arm all the way out, but not so much that I'm having to do that like twice if that makes sense lol
Muy bellooo me encantoooo🤩🤩🤩👏👏👏 consulta que le puso ensima al pañal para bordar y como la saco despues el sobrante , quedo atenta ayuda plis😅 exelente turorial, saludos desde chile🤩🤩🤩😍😍😍
¡Gracias! Estoy usando Google Translate aquí, así que espero que esto tenga sentido. Este es un estabilizador lavable. Corta cualquier exceso cuando hayas terminado y luego enjabona tu trabajo con agua tibia, agitando los puntos. ¡Espero que esto ayude! ¡Gracias por ver mi video!
Hey! I thought I responded to this- sorry for the delay! I don't include a backing on these, but that's just me! You can use a product like this (amzn.to/3KwAwao). OR If you wanted to turn this into a blanket with a backing you can consider adding minky or flannel fabric! I have a tutorial for this on my page too :) Hope this helps!
Hey!! I’ve been meaning to do a tutorial for a baby onesie! I would actually recommend this one: amzn.to/3VLbV6R. It’s sticky and I think works better for onesies!
Hey! Sorry for the delay! I do love DMC embroidery needles and floss. I use all 6 strands of floss for this project! Here is a link to the needles I'm using on Amazon: Embroidery Needles: amzn.to/3trsXws. I hope this helps! Let me know if you have more questions..there is a lot more information in the description of the video!
Hey! Thank you so much ❤️. I’m working from a bundle of embroidery floss that I purchased on Amazon. I can’t remember exactly what it was called, but it’s all 6 strands in a light pink color.
Calling all crafters…..if you have blankets to spare for people who have lost everything because of recent hurricanes….lets me know. We are trying to help them!! We are collecting blankets to give to whoever needs them…. Contact me when you can!! Thank you
I hope you have a contact that can accept all the donations. Our quilt guild was told not to send quilts/blankets until they have the infrastructure to accept them. We are busy making them but won’t send them until we get the ok.
@@sewgatormomm That is fantastic! Brings tears to my eyes to think of that! Yes we have the infrastructure. We have someone with family in cities near Asheville., Green River Cove, Port St Lucie and Tennessee. We have a PO Box setup to receive and we will drive to locations the areas that are accessible and ready. Since some areas are still in recovery we will move those schedules until later to stay out of their way. Plenty of people in need in the meantime. My son goes to college in VA and we live in FL so we already do a lot of driving through those areas. Is there someone I can email to let them know? I’ve emailed a few people already. God Bless our communities!!!
It’s a crayola tracing pad! It’s actually a kid toys lol. Here’s a link: www.amazon.com/dp/B07P6RFKRL/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_VVPVZ9GZ4ATY1F9TYEGY?linkCode=ml2&tag=ashleyuponder-20 You can also just use an open window to tape your piece to and trace.
I definitely don’t see why you couldn’t use this technique on pants or a hoodie! Since those are more structured- look on my TH-cam page for the knit sweater hand-embroidery tutorial. That stabilizer may work better! Measure the area and figure out how long you want the name. In Canva, you can drag the size and while you do that, you’ll see measurements pop up! Just match it to what you measures on your pants/hoodie. I’m happy to help more with this if you need it!
It’s easier if you use washable stabilizer- iron it on, embroider, then wash to get it off. What size needle & how many pieces of embroider thread, all 6?
Thanks for your comment! This is just how I’ve always done it and it works for me and wanted to share 😃. I am using all 6 strands. These are actually John James embroidery needles, size 6.
Hey! So when you’re done, or run out of thread…from the backside, take your needle and weave the left over thread in and out of the back of the previous stitches. I tend to go up and down through the backs of stitches a couple of times. This is usually good enough to tie off, but for an extra security, I separate my 6 strands of floss in half, then double knot it. Then cut the excess. I hope this makes sense! I need to add another video of this! I’m the mean time I know there are more helpful ‘tie off’ embroidery videos!
Hey! Possibly...but that material is super stretchy. The problem that you'll run into is hooping it. If you take care making sure that you aren't stretching the material AT ALL while hooping..or even not using a hoop and just using a water soluble marker, it might work better! Hope this helps!
Oh no! Try just typing in ‘harm’ in the font search bar on Canva and see if it pulls up. Sometimes mine doesn’t want to find it by the full name. Hope this helps!
Hey!! Absolutely! Check out my two other videos- one is the same idea on a sweatshirt and one on a jean jacket- but in it, I recommend a different stabilizer that I like more for heavier weight items! Also- this is just a regular DMC embroidery floss. Amazon sells big packs in their brand for pretty cheap! This like one : amzn.to/3xCtQnA
I’ve never swaddled a baby before, where would this appear on the blanket when the baby is swaddled? Would it be visible when they are wrapped up in it? I was thinking of just folding down one corner to the outside and embroidering there, so her name would show on her back when she’s wrapped up, which isn’t as nice as across her front.
Hey, Rachel! Thanks for your comment! When the name is in the corner like this, I usually will fold the corner down, drape it over the top of the baby, and then snug her all in! So not quite ‘swaddled’ but just more snuggled lol. I’ve been kind of experimenting with name placement and then wrapping the baby to see where it comes. It just varies! Hope this helps ❤️
@@lamandacarter6067 this is the classic version! I’m sure both would work great though. I’ve also used this brand from Amazon and was happy with it amzn.to/3OaEoiL
Hey, Nicole! This is definitely something that takes practice and over time you can eye ball it. I’ve seen some people make two tick marks on their index finger as a quick way to measure!
Hey! Stitch consistency just cokes with time and practice, which sounds dumb and I hate saying that! Eventually you learn to eye ball moving the needle the same distance down each time. If it doesn’t look right, don’t be afraid to pull the stitches out and try again! Or if you really wanted to, you can use a ruler to pre-measure dots ahead as a guide, making them a little closer together around curves..until you get the hang of it! Hope this helps!
Hey, Laura! I definitely think you can! For that, try Sulky sticky/wash-away stabilizer It works much better for that. Here’s a link: www.amazon.com/dp/B004R2B3NU/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_KNNXGN0XZEBXAYJQ8DNP?linkCode=ml2&tag=ashleyuponder-20
@@laurav1025 oh sure! The hoop just makes your work easier to hold on to and keeps it tight, but a Jean jacket is stiff enough to not need one😃. You got this!
You can definitely do without it, which is how I started! I really think it makes the stitching a lot easier and looks cleaner. Definitely worth the small investment, and you can use that roll for a bunch of projects! Hope this helps❤️
Hey! I actually use leather stitching needles for embroidery lol. I think any hand-embroidery needles with a sharp point/little bit bigger eye would work! This is a good option: amzn.to/3PNqy7U
hey! I definitely use different font sometimes, especially because they really just look funny sometimes! Scroll through Canva and see what you might like, playing with the different fonts. If you know you like calligraphy or handwritten fonts, type that into the search bar and Canva and see what you can find! I hope this helps.

What yarn are you using? I’m a beginner and not sure which yarn is best for embroidery.

Did you prewash the swaddle before embroidering?
Hey!! I don’t for my own children, but do in baby detergent for others ❤️
hi! how many threads of floss did you use? all 6?
Hey! Yes! All 6 strands here.
Do you think this can be done on a rayon spandex swaddle?
Hey! Possibly...but that material is super stretchy. The problem that you'll run into is hooping it. If you take care making sure that you aren't stretching the material AT ALL while hooping..or even not using a hoop and just using a water soluble marker, it might work better! Hope this helps!
Are you able to use a thicker string for it? I want to make it bold.
I’m sure you could! Or a light weight yarn.

What is the trick for stitch consistency in the loops?
Hey! Stitch consistency just cokes with time and practice, which sounds dumb and I hate saying that! Eventually you learn to eye ball moving the needle the same distance down each time. If it doesn’t look right, don’t be afraid to pull the stitches out and try again! Or if you really wanted to, you can use a ruler to pre-measure dots ahead as a guide, making them a little closer together around curves..until you get the hang of it! Hope this helps!
Thank you thank you thank you!!
😍😍you’re welcome!!
Can I do this on a Jean Jacket?
Hey, Laura! I definitely think you can! For that, try Sulky sticky/wash-away stabilizer It works much better for that. Here’s a link: www.amazon.com/dp/B004R2B3NU/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_KNNXGN0XZEBXAYJQ8DNP?linkCode=ml2&tag=ashleyuponder-20
Can I do it free hand? With out that circle tool?
Sorry never done this before!!
@@laurav1025 oh sure! The hoop just makes your work easier to hold on to and keeps it tight, but a Jean jacket is stiff enough to not need one😃. You got this!
Sorry last question! Can I use yarn? Like a thin one instead of that thread you use
@@laurav1025 oh sure! You may need to use a different needle with a bigger eye than the one I’m using here!
가운데 종이? 천?은 물에 녹아버린건가요?
예! 여기서 안정제는 물에 용해됩니다.
What is the light up board called and where can I get one?😊
Hey! Santa was nice enough to bring this to my daughter a few years ago 😀. It’s a crayola drawing board: amzn.to/3Cr8jh1
is the stabilizer necessary? or can we do without it
You can definitely do without it, which is how I started! I really think it makes the stitching a lot easier and looks cleaner. Definitely worth the small investment, and you can use that roll for a bunch of projects! Hope this helps❤️
@@southernsewingco yes it did, thank you!
How do you print onto the stabilizer ?
Hi! I print out onto regular paper, then put the stabilizer on top to trace the name on to it!
Omg.. after re watching your video I noticed that! 🤦🏻♀️ thank you so much!
@@stefanilund7823 you’re welcome!!
Have you ever used a different font? I’m not liking the way it does some letters on the name I’m doing!
I did try Oblique Rain and Heavenfield recently and liked them both! I usually click around until I find one. It takes a minute with some name 😂
How many strands?
@@lynvigna4127 I use all 6 strands for these blankets ❤️
What do you use? Like thinner or thicker
@@BB-im6ze what do you mean?
Thank you!
😃
Que papel se utiliza para dibujar?
Este es un estabilizador que se elimina mediante lavado. ¡Funciona muy bien! Aquí hay un enlace amzn.to/3S7uTUr
what size needle?
Hey! I actually use leather stitching needles for embroidery lol. I think any hand-embroidery needles with a sharp point/little bit bigger eye would work! This is a good option: amzn.to/3PNqy7U
What App do you use for the name ?
Hey! I use Canva. This font is called Harmonie and it’s free!
@@southernsewingco Excellent thank you so much !

hey! I definitely use different font sometimes, especially because they really just look funny sometimes! Scroll through Canva and see what you might like, playing with the different fonts. If you know you like calligraphy or handwritten fonts, type that into the search bar and Canva and see what you can find! I hope this helps.
