Wow, thank you so much for this video. I’m very new to embroidery- and this was an amazing video. I was wondering if there was a way to do exactly this on a store bought stocking or if I was going to have to make all new stockings. And what cool products. That sticky sulky and what a cool method of floating. I learned so much. Thank you so much for this again. Happy Holidays
Thanks for the video! Many other's I have watched rip one side of the seams and re-sew. I didn't want to do that, so will give this method a try. Thanks!
I have sweater knit cuffs on our new stockings. I'm pretty sure this year will be embroidering on wool felt and making a patch, but I'm glad to see it's possible on a flatbed machine.
@@TheKaRilCa Not familiar with that version. Look for an "offset" or "outline" tool. Or if you know how to recreate the "knock-down" stitch popularized by Embrilliance, that's all ti is.
Could you have basted a couple of mm just outside the design to help keep all the layers in place so there is less chance of your fingers getting stuck with a needle? I recognize that you would need to still keep the other fabric out of the way, but at least your fingers wouldn’t be as close to the running needle & possibly cause you injury.
I was just wondering, I am just now getting into the floating designs and I found that the sticky stabilizer leaves residue on the needle and causes the thread to break. Have you ever had issues with this stabilizer doing the same?
You don't have to use sticky stabilizer. Use a tearaway stabilizer, spray it lightly with adhesive and then pin the item onto the stabilizer. Make sure that the pins are out of the way of the embroidery area so they don't get caught under the needle.
I just got a Brother se625 sewing machine; I'm a beginner sewer; I want to make Christmas stockings with the names; without having to take them a part; that looked hard; I don't understand about the stabilizers stuff; do you have to use it? Thanks Melissa
There's a lot to know about getting a good embroidery result. Stabilizer is needed to reduce distortions caused by stitching. Check the other videos on this site - start with "Professional Pointers for Pucker Prevention - Part 1, Hooping Properly." There are also lots of articles on my blog @ lindeegembroidery.com. To really learn all about embroidery, download and read my book, The Embroidery Recipe: How Your Ingredients Affect Your Results. It covers just about everything.
I do not embroider that well and don't have a machine. Could you direct me somewhere to have this done? I have the beautiful stockings for my daughter and her family. HELP
Check your local area for embroidery shops. If there aren't any locally or none that you feel comfortable with, visit a local sewing machine store and ask for a reference.
Hard to say at this point since this video is 4 years old. Besides, the size is going to be based on the length of your name, the size of the cuff, the font choice, and how you can hoop.

Thank you for this video. I always learn something new watching your videos or 're-learn' something I have forgotten!

It was so good to watch you and to hear your voice again...been a while! And of course Riley will love his stocking!

Thank you for the video! I did these stockings last year and your video would have really helped me.
i realize it's kinda off topic but does anybody know a good place to stream newly released movies online?
@Gianni Edgar I would suggest flixzone. Just search on google for it =)
another great video, thanks Lindee xx
I know this is 4 years old but thank you so much for this
thanks! I'm excited to try this!!
This was a very helpful tutorial
Thank you!
Very helpful video! Thank you!
This helped a ton!!
Love this video, thank you! 😊
Great video. Can you explain, perhaps in a video, how you make you initial tack down stitching?
Thanks! Sure. Just watch the linked video in the description about creating the monogram.
@@lindeegoodall2426 Thanks for the quick response! Didn't read the video description but will try this with my own software.
@@TheKaRilCa What software are you using?

Thank you I’m hoping to do some kids but I don’t know if I’ll have enough room to hold it down while stitching
Look for stockings made for embroidery that zip open.
I already bought the hats so I’m going to try tomorrow how you did the bigger ones, thanks
What is the stitch that holds down the fur. What font us that. ?
Great video! Must get going on Christmas projects now. Is that one of your fonts, Lindee?
Thanks! Yes, the font is Typo Upright. Available in BX & ESA.
@Margaret Ann, I added links to the fonts in the description.

Yes, you can certainly do that.

Yes, you should use stabilizer. The stocking is "floated" on top of the sticky stabilizer.
That's how I embroider names onto stockings.

What size lettering did you use please

Thank you for your reply, I didn’t realise the video was 4 yeas old , but it has been really very helpful to me so Thank you
I’ll have to watch this again. I was too busy looking at the quilt to pay attention.
LOL! That's one of my favorite pieces. All machine embroidered applique and then long-arm quilted by a local quilter. I did everything else!
