Tip from a jewelry maker that has done knotting for pearls, when you knot to finish it, after you start the knot in the back, before it's all the way tight, put a needle in the knot hole, and use the needle to get it as close as you can to the fabric (I hope I explained it well).

Used dryer sheets!!!! They tear and can be cut, I save mine when they come out the dryer, iron them flat my dryer sheets also fit the small hoop for embroidery perfectly. Paid for once used twice and they smell nice too!!!!

If you do a decorative stitch on terry cloth, t-shirt or a soft felt, use a water soluble topper that will give stability to a knit, looped or felted fabric and the fabric will not pucker.

Stabilizer is not for supporting the fabric, it’s for supporting the stitches(same goes for machine embroidery). If you have a heavy, dense decorative stitch, you have to use a heavy enough stabilizer to support those stitches regardless of the fabric.

I loved your idea to do a decorative stitch right on top of a seam, it looks cute :D

Great tips, when you want to tie of the ends use a needle insert into the loop and slide it down to desired tie off point to get as close as a tie of a possible.

I have a Brother LX 3817 and it has a bunch of decorative stiches that look like the lines on a heart monitor. I'd like to see some ideas for things you could use those types of stiches for.

Can you help me please? What are the settings that you use to make the decorative stitch? It's maybe dumb question but for me, I don't know how to set the (2) dials to do a decorative stitch. I have the identical Sewing Mach. but I don't know how to do the decorative stitches. I appreciate it if you show me how.

Every machine is different and not all machines can do a decorative stitch. If you don't have a machine manual, google it and see if you can find it online. You'd be surprised how many manuals are online. If you're machine can do a decorative stitch, it will be listed on the machine with all the other stitches

How do you turn corners using a decorative top stitch? ( to make it “look”right and even)

@ProfessorPincushion 4 жыл бұрын

I put the needle in right at the corner, lift the presser foot and then rotate the fabric with the needle still in it. Once rotated, put the presser foot down and continue sewing. It's not always perfect but it works pretty well most of the time.

I’d like to know how to join the beginning of your stitches to the end of your stitches in-pattern when sewing around a hem. I don’t want it to be obvious where I began an ended, because there was only room for half of a stitch at the end.

@ProfessorPincushion 2 жыл бұрын

My machine has a stop button that "knots" off the stitch so I don't have to go over previous stitches if I don't want to. Another option is you can hand knot your threads on the the wrong side.

@@ProfessorPincushionHmmm, I don’t think I worded my question correctly. Let me try again. Think about sewing the hem of a skirt. You choose a spot to begin sewing, and you keep sewing all the way around the hem until you get back to where you began. Now, imagine you are using a decorative stitch to sew that hem. The decorative stitch you are using is about 1.25” long, and the plan is to repeat it over and over again until the hem is sewn. You start sewing, and you sew all the way around the hem until you almost reach the point you began. You have just ended a full decorative stitch (pattern), and you are about to begin the next repetition. There’s a problem, because the decorative stitch you are using is 1.25” long, but there is only 3/4” of hem left before you reach the place you started. You don’t have room to sew the entire stitch, so a partially completed stitch will be joined to the full stitch you began the hem with. As such, it will be obvious where that partially sewn decorative stitch meets the beginning of the first decorative stitch. How does one ensure that this does not happen?

sure! as long as you're using the flat cotton batting and not the thick polyester batting, otherwise, I imagine the stitch will just get lost in the thickness

Thanks for the question, Shell Cshells, and thanks for the answer, Prof Pincushion! I'm a newbie too and was wondering the same thing 😊
