How do I hoop a t shirt to put the embroidery on the correct part of the left breast of the shirt.?

Question

I guess my question is how do I measure where to put the design in the right place and straight on the shirt. The design is a pair of pilots wings with lettering below. Also can anyone tell me what is the best kind of towel to embroider. Thank you.

Answer 1

Find a shirt with a logo on it that you husband wears. Find the center of this logo. Mark it. Measure from the armhole seam to this point. Measure from the center point up to the shoulder seam. Take the measurements and apply them to the new shirt, to find the center of the new design you want to embroider ( mark with an disappearing ink pen, available in fabric stores).Apply tear away interfacing to the back of this area, so you don't stretch the fabric as you stitch. Tear the interfacing away when the design is completed.As for the towels, buy the best quality towels you can afford. The band that you will stitch may pucker , on a cheaper towel.

You don't have to hoop everything to embroider on.
You hoop the stabilizer, then use Sulky 505 temporary spray (or similar), and press the garment down onto the hooped stabilizer. Using this method, you can embroider on collar points, cuffs, baby socks, baseball hats.

You need good stabilizer for both bottom and the top of a towel. The top type looks like plastic wrap. Measure using pins and a ruler, and definitely try the shirt on first.

Google a good sewing machine dealer (not vacuum store) in your area. Start with Bernina www.berninausa.com can find you one. Also Pfaff and Babylock. All of these machines have embroidery machines and the dealer can help you.

I've been embroidering for 10 yrs on a Bernina Artista...

some little ones do only finally end up with a decision, possibly he's greater mushy being held on your suitable, or possibly it relatively is in effortless terms a humorous fad.. my youngest ended up nursing incredibly much completely from my left breast, plenty who prefer it to the main appropriate, to the factor the place I had little or no milk being produced on the main appropriate hand component! apart from being slightly lop-sided, it did no longer rely in any respect - the only breast will actual shop up with call for! If the considered this rather does not attraction, try various the carry with which you place your infant on your breast, try a soccer carry as an occasion, it may fool him. Or permit him sate his preliminary appetitie on the main appropriate hand component, then swap him over while he's no longer so frantic - it would desire to easily be that the permit-down is swifter on the main appropriate.

Before I put an iron on transfer on my t-shirt, I tried it on to see just where to put it. You could do that and mark the spot with a straight pin, or chalk.
