FULL TUTORIAL: How to Applique using a Brother Embroidery Machine | Step by Step | Brother PE500

Рет қаралды 57,358

Күн бұрын

In today's video, I go over the basic supplies needed to make a simple applique on a brother single needle machine. I am using an older Brother PE500 4x4 machine. I demonstrate how to hoop the bodysuit as well as how to float the bodysuit. I go step-by-step from start to finish of completing an appliqued item on the single needle embroidery machine.
If you are new here, I am Ashley and I operate TWO Etsy embroidery shops full time from my home studio. Over 3 years ago, I traded in my RN job and stethoscope to stay home and operate my businesses full time when I could no longer keep up with both! Now I have a beautiful little girl at home with me that keeps me busy alongside my shops.

Thank you for any help you can offer via KZfaq video for those that have the same machines you have and are just starting out. I sincerely appreciate you, thank you for sharing.

I specifically use bobbin thread. It is a different weight than embroidery thread. The exact weight of bobbin thread recommended for each machine can vary.

I've seen other tutorials that use wash away embroidery stabilizer.. is the heat n bond in replace of it?

@AshleyMonograms 3 ай бұрын

The heat n bond is meant to secure the fabric to the garment to help keep it smooth with wash & wear. I would not suggest using wash away stabilizer behind the shirt as a stabilizer but the clear wash away stabilizer that goes on top of the garment can help with cleaner stitching. I personally do not use this often on items without a lot of pile or loft, that's just my preference!

I need help with using this on a crochet project. I made afghans and I'm afraid to use mine on the embroidery machine. I have those same machine and only played around with it when i first got it many hears ago. I now have to learn all over again. Also. I have the scan and cut vinyl machine and I can San my own drawings to it to cut is there a way I can use my own designs on this older one. I know they have came a long way.

@AshleyMonograms Жыл бұрын

There's not a direct way to scan an image to embroider on this machine. It would need to be digitized in software on a computer. There are some newer machines that will auto-digitize drawings, but they are much larger/expensive machines.
