As fall is approaching, personalized embroidered sweatshirts and sweaters will become more and more popular. Recently, a picture of an embroidered sweatshirt caught my eye on Facebook. The sweatshirt contained a perfectly cut felt name with hand stitching on top. I immediately thought of ways we can have this same look but using our embroidery and cutting machines.

I will show you step by step how easy it is to remove your frame holder, attach the cap driver, hoop the hat using the cap ring and hooping station, and then finally load and stitch your hat. Once you see how easy it is, you will be making hats all the time. If you ever decide to start sell ..read more

Embroidered sweatshirts make an excellent present for the holiday season! Curved neckline embroidery has been popular for a while, however I have seen a surge in embroidered sleeves to go with it.

Now this project would be easiest on a free arm machine like my PRX1, or multi-needle like my PR680W or Ricoma EM101. But I want to show you its possible on a flatbed machine too so I will be using my PE800 in this tutorial. I will be going over 2 different hooping methods for t ..read more
