So glad it was helpful! 😄

I'm glad it was helpful! 😁❤️

Thank you so much!! 🥰 I try 😅

Thank you so much!! 🤗❤️

Thanks Dione! I have an Etsy seller make them for me; it's easier than designing my own. 😁 Here's their link in case you need a custom embroidery file monogram! www.etsy.com/listing/512511030/custom-monograms-3-sizes-for-embroidery

I appreciate that so much!! 🤗 Glad it helped!! ❤️

Woohoo!! 🥳 Hope they turn out great!!

Aw, congratulations!! Happy sewing 🤗

@@MarissaExplainshow did you find the monogram file? I have the same machine but have never used my own “prints” to monogram with. Thx

Oh congratulations!! 🥳👶👶 That would be a sweet gift for the shower. I also like making them with a soft jersey knit on one side and a terry cloth/towel on the other side. It's a little softer than the cloth diapers! 🤗

Oh great! So glad you were happy with them! 🤩

Thank you so much Valerie! 🥰 I've heard excellent things about Berninas; hopefully you can find a KZfaqr that has some good tutorials to follow along! I know I like learning by seeing someone else do it. 😁

Kristine this is so kind of you to say!! 😁❤️🥰 Let me know if there are any video topics you'd be interested in!!

Thanks Debbie! 🥰 I should have a learn to sew series posted in the next month or two! 😄

@@MarissaExplains yay! I look forward to it. Have a marvelous evening Miss Marissa.

Hi Felicia! Oh that's so kind, thank you! 😁 So I did make a more detailed video specifically for monograms, because there are a couple different ways to get the design files. You can order a custom monogram file from Etsy and download to your machine, or you can buy a font (also from Etsy) which is a series of files, and then upload the 3 files you'd need for a monogram to your machine. Here is the link to the video that goes into more detail - the embroidery tutorial starts at the 8:48 timestamp I believe. 😁 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aNCAhKRirdu4YIE.html

Hi Roxana! Thank you so much! 🤗 I use sulky stabilizer (both tear away and stitch in, depending on what I'm making)... And the glue is Elmer's multi-purpose spray adhesive! It does get sticky, so I try to use it sparingly. 😁

Hi Kim! I'll try to answer in order: 😊 1. I got the fabric from Joann! 2. I used a regular straight stitch on this trim. 3. I don't know the needle size offhand; I bought a pack of universal needles and used what was there. 🙈 4. I didn't press any particular button to denote the type of fabric I was working with. Just turned the machine on and started sewing! 5. The machine does not cut the embroidery threads in between each letter you have to do that manually once it's all done stitching. 6. The font is called Vine monogram, and I purchased it from etsy! Thanks for watching! ❤️

Oh that's a great idea! I might do this soon; I need to demonstrate a simple sewing project for an upcoming video. 😊

You're right; I would use a non bleach product on this, like Shout for stains! 🤗

Thank you so much! Any cloth diaper size will work - they vary just a little between brands. I would pick up whatever pack you find, and then cut your decorative fabric to fit it! 🤗 Good luck!

Hi! So the monogram is called vine, from this Etsy font pack: www.etsy.com/listing/842925747/embroidery-monogram-designs-bundle-6 The other 2 are the standard font that came with my sewing machine. I don't know that it has a name! 🤗

I always try to match my threads in case the tension is off and the bobbin thread shows through a little, but I don't think it matters too much! 😊 and there isn't a way that I know of to make the back look as pretty.. if you look at any embroidered piece of clothing, even professionally done, it looks this way on the back. 🤷🏻‍♀️😊

Absolutely! I try to link anything I purchase in the description box below the video, but here's the link. :) amzn.to/2DKl341 They're a thinner quality which makes them easier to hoop, but if you're looking for something thicker you might want to go with a more premium burp cloth. Good Luck! :)

Hello!! I believe they were around 3 inches 😊

Hi Denise! I made another video showing the steps for monogramming that I think will help - check it out here! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aNCAhKRirdu4YIE.html

Cotton definitely works! I've used it many times successfully. 🤗

Hi! This particular model (the SE400) is outdated, but they now make the Brother SE600. It's on Amazon right now for $579. They also make a model that's slightly cheaper, the PE535 for $500. I feel like they weren't so expensive when I bought mine! 🙈

@@MarissaExplains Great! Thanks so much!!

Hi Debbie! I didn't for this video, but yes it's always recommended to pre-wash the fabrics you'll be working with 🤗

Hi! I used a prepurchased logo for the first one, that I believe was 4". For the other two that I did with the built in fonts, I used a size large! 🤗

Well I got this machine in 2015 I believe how can I download more fonts?

@@aliciaburnett2473 so I usually go through Etsy to download font files! I did a KZfaq video on this process for monogramming; I think it will help! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aNCAhKRirdu4YIE.html the embroidery section begins at 22.58

Hi Carmen! It's always recommended to pre wash the fabric beforehand so you know it won't shrink. 🤗

@@MarissaExplains thank you

Sure! what specifically with the monogram do you need help with? 😁

Marissa Explains It All we watched and made one of your burp clothes! ( thank you for that video) now we want to put her monogrammed initials on it. Where the last name is a larger size letter. Her name is Harper MacEvelyn Westbrook. So HWM. This is my friends machine and we have worked and read for 2 hours now. Lol

@@melissaturner5178 aww! That's great you have the burp cloth done!! So for monograms, you either have to use a design software to create the monogram (which I don't have!) Or you can purchase it from Etsy. Through Etsy, there are 2 ways to get a monogram: the first (and easiest) is to search for a seller who will make you a custom .PES file with your monogram in it. You then load it to the machine and it will stitch automatically. Here's a seller that is cheap! www.etsy.com/listing/644258129/4size-interlocking-monogram-3-letters The second way to do it (which will help if you are doing multiple monogram projects), is to buy the font files and put the monogram together yourself. The seller will send a folder with different sizes of each letter in the alphabet, and you would stitch each initial separately. I've done this successfully, but it's a little tricky since you have to position each letter separately. Let me know if you want a video on how to embroider a monogram using either method, and I'll make one! 😁

Marissa Explains It All that helps somewhat. Would probably help a lot...IF I wasn’t so technically challenged. I do own a Silhouette Cameo that I can made monograms in. Just not sure how to get it into the embroidery machine. Videos are always helpful. Thank you for taking time to reply

@@melissaturner5178 No problem! 😊 Totally understand... It's not easy with some of these machines to pick it up and figure it out! So the Silhouette Cameo is only used to cut materials like vinyl and paper, and can't be used with a sewing/embroidery machine. You would use that if you wanted to create a monogram and iron it on with heat transfer vinyl. The sewing/embroidery machine when hooked up to your computer only takes certain file types (.PES and .DST) that are created from a separate embroidery creation software. That software is different from Silhouette Studio, and is kinda hard to learn. That's why I leave it to the professionals and just buy my embroidery files from Etsy if I'm going to stitch a monogram. I'll shoot a video showing how to create a monogram out of Vinyl with your Silhouette, and also how to do it with the sewing machine so you can see all the options! 😁

Hi! It's 8.5" long by 3" wide. My favorite for making lists! 😄

@@MarissaExplains thank you
