KNOW THE PROCESS OF EMBROIDERY

You want to know the details of embroidery ? Well keep on reading ! This can also help your out if you are looking to get into embroidery or just got started and wanted to know more about it !

MACHINE

There are many different types of machines available for embroidery, from single to 15 needle machines !
Starting off its always best to get a single needle machine to guage the waters and see if youre able to get something started off the ground ! Then its best to upgrade to a commercial 6 needle machine, my first upgrade was the Brother PR670e !

STABALIZER

Stabalizer is one of the most important parts in the embroidery process, theres many kinds, such as water soluble, tearaway and cutaway, which all serve the purpose of stabilising the fabric whilst it is being embroidered.
Each one can come in different weights, the higher the weight the more stable it is and thus will stabilise your fabrics more.
Stretchy and thin fabrics need more structure and thus need a heavier stabiliser, however some more stable fabrics such as cotton might still need a heavy stbaliser if you're embroidery a high stitch count design and with layers.

HOOPING

Hooping is the essential part of embroidery as it will keep your stabiliser and fabric in place during embroidery.
Hooping makes the fabric taunt and keeps equal tension on the fabric from where it is hooped to prevent as much fabric movement and puckering as possible.
So if your embroidery isnt always coming out great, your hooping technique might be a culprit.
Circular hoop always keep the tension the same all around the hoop since its circular, however magnetic hoops also do the same whilst also giving you a very easy hooping mechanism that you do not need to tighten or loosen, making it easier and quicker.

THREAD

Embroidery best works using 100% polyester thread, however if you're like me, then you do like to experiment with designs and threads and techniques. But for now i will talk about polyester threads.
Polyester threads come in different weights, the standard is 40Wt (Wt being the unit that measures how many kilometres of that weight (40) is equivalent to 1kg).
The lower the Wt, the thicker the thread is and the higher the number the thinner the thread is, allowing you to do more intricate designs.
Thread weight is important for projects as it can make your design look clean or unprofessional, so you have to be dilligent with the thread weight youre using, but 40Wt is a standard that works for 90% of embroidery so do not stress !

NEEDLES

Needles are just as important as threads ! And thats due to the threads going through them !
Needles need to be changed pretty open to make sure that no embroidery is made with a blunt needle as it can rip your fabric or lead to thread breaks more often.
There are different needles sizes, and the standard one for embroidery is 75/11 which fits for 40Wt threads. If you would like to use a thinner thread such as 60Wt, then you would need a thinner needle such as 65/9 or if youre using thicker threads such as 10Wt, then you would need a bigger needles such as 80/12.
However enedel size is also dependant on the fabric youre using, sometimes its best to use a 80/12 needle when embroidering tough fabric such as denim or canvas as the thicker needles will have more strength and durability.
