I love to embroider on T-shirts, but you can't just pop a stretchy fabric into a hoop and start stitching away. Well - you can - but the results will be terrible. In this video I show you the one simple thing you need to do to prep your stretchy fabrics for embroidery. I mentioned a product in the video and promised a link in the post - so here it is. The product is called Sulky Totally Stable. You can buy it here.

yay wendy! thank you SO MUCH for posting this. i can't count the number of times i have tried to figure out the secret of embroidering on knits. i'm beginning and self-taught, so interfacing isn't something i know much about.
ReplyDeletethank you!
thank you!
You're so very welcome! I remember the first time I successfully embroidered on a T-shirt. So satisfying! Now it's probably the things I do most often.
ReplyDeleteHappy stitching!
Can I use freezer paper to have the same stabilizing effect? I bought a HUGE roll and want to use some of it up!
ReplyDeleteSorry - I don't think freezer paper will work nearly as well. It's far stiffer than the Sulky stabilizer and it will peel off WAY too easily.
ReplyDeleteWow! Nice sewing technique.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this nice video.
