Last Thursday evening I embroidered my first garment.
I told my daughter to pick something she didn’t mind tossing out if the machine embroidery didn’t turn out great. I’m still new to machine embroidery. She chose a t-shirt… smart girl! She decided on a cute rag doll from Urban Threads. As mentioned in yesterdays post, I didn’t follow the thread recommendations. My daughter chose her own colors for the Urban Threads design. The design cost $3.00. I plan to use it on a lot of different items.
Pressing the green circle starts the machine embroidery function on my Brother SE-400. The only thing left to do was to monitor the embroidery machine, as it created the embroidered design. Even though the machine does all the work, it’s smart to keep a watchful eye on it so nothing bad happens.
I really love my Brother SE-400. The maximum design it will embroider is 4×4, so if you want to embroider a larger design, you’ll have to look for another machine.
It took about forty minutes to complete the design.
And it turned out perfect. A simple but creative way to dress up a plain t-shirt.

WOW! That’s awesome! Love all the colors and the animation in the image!

Thanks @Jennifer, I had a lot of fun watching the machine embroider this design. I still like hand embroidery too.

Q – How adorable! What a clever graphic your daughter picked. I know both of you like cloth dolls. You need to join the Machine Embroidery Class out here that our local adult school offers! LOL!

@curls and q, It’ll be a bit of a trek to fly back and forth. 😉 I might eventually take an online embroidery class.
