In today's super quick video, I am showing you how I float my fabric on top off my 5x7 embroidery hoop. This is of course just how I do it, there are other ways, but this is what's easiest for me. Hope you enjoy :)

I bought a used embroidery machine and I cleaned the hoop with Dawn PowerWash and an SOS pad. Came perfectly clean.

Nice job. If you don’t like to use spray, you can pin the perimeter of the fabric to the stabilizer. No mess, no glue to be inhaled.

Hi, I just came across your channel...Have a couple of questions...first thank you for being careful as how you explain....very detailed....How do you cut the minky? Scissors....a rotary cutter? Just checking as you were so sure that the minky material was so much a square....it seemed like it was cut perfectly....thank you for showing me this....

@KaylaKrische 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Lynette! I usually use a rotary cutter but it doesn't really matter. I make my measurements on the back with a pen and then cut so that's how I know the corners are perfectly square :)

@KaylaKrische 3 жыл бұрын

I don't have a video on this but I can do one soon! I get most of my fonts from Etsy. Just make sure to read the description to make sure the fonts are compatible with your machine. If you aren't sure, I would consult your machine manual, or you can contact the seller of the font you're wanting and they should be able to help you too. :)

Thank you! When I click on the water soluble Amazon link it just takes me to Amazon's home screen. Could you tell me what kind it is, please. I currently use sulky solvy, but it's so thin and difficult to keep positioned. Yours looks much more dense and stayed put.

@KaylaKrische 3 жыл бұрын

Sorry about that! I just updated the link. I use Sulky Solvy too. I've seen people use scotch tape to keep theirs in place. You can try this also. It doesn't tear away as easily as Sulky does, but it's thicker. amzn.to/3fsq2KJ

Another question....although I do not have a brother, I have a babylock aventura....looks almost identical....I noticed you got the name from your usb....which means you downloaded fonts....when I downloaded fonts they are all crooked and I have to take an hour to place them correctly....I noticed the name when you pulled it up, it had a line underneath it....How did you get the name so straight? When I purchased some fonts from online as I wanted something different than my built in fonts, I had to adjust each letter and it never cameout straight....Can you please do a video of downloading fonts, and how to make them straight in the machine? That is so scary for me....I guess you can tell I am new to this, but your videos are so helpful....I appreciate any feedback on how to get fonts straight. Like I said though, my built in fonts are straight as they allow me to do that. What am I missing here? Lynette

I use Embrilliance to put the name together and then download it to the usb so it's perfectly straight every time. Are you using an embroidery software?

Why do you do a water soluble on top, is that rally necessary or will the tear away work alone?

@KaylaKrische 3 жыл бұрын

On minky dot I would say it's not absolutely necessary, but in other minkys it is. It just helps your text stitch out smoother so the long hairs don't lift up through your stitches.

When you spray glue to the fabric, eventually the glue will stick to the needle causing the thread to break. How do you deal this issue?

@KaylaKrische 2 жыл бұрын

Hi! I use basting adhesive which is designed for this and doesn't gum up the needle. I haven't had a large issue with thread breaks. I've broken threads of course, but I can't say with certainty that it's because of the spray.

Line your center mark from hoop with the corner of the blanket. On one side it’s 5 1/2 inches from the side and on the other side it’s 4 inches. Is that normal
