The Excitement of Machine Embroidery

Machine embroidery is a fun way to add unique touches to our sewing and home décor projects. I found that once we figure out how to setup the machine by switching the embroidery foot, inserting the panel, and embroidery hoop, it becomes simple as pressing a button and changing the thread.

Before starting to explore this creative aspect of sewing machines, having the right tools would help avoid frustrations that we may encounter. 

I found wonderful deals on Amazon.ca to get a collection of forty different colours of polyester embroidery thread, Sulky tear easy stabilizer, and needles. I found having the different coloured thread helps to do a variety of projects without purchasing thread in a project by project basis. Using a stabilizer is important to avoid the thread from pulling and to keep the project neat. 

I use my HE240 Brother Machine to sew, and found that it is a good machine to get started on embroidery. This HE240 Brother machine is available on Amazon.ca. Check out the details of this machine on my previous post here. There are a few simple designs programmed into the machine, however we can connect the USB to a computer and use free embroidery patterns on the Brother website. 

I find that machine embroidery is a rewarding hobby that can be easily done, as it doesn't require much from our side other than setting it up. It gives a personal and unique touch to many of our creative projects from placing embroidery on clothes, towels, pillows, cards, and more.
