I found a saying that I really like and want to embroider it on a tshirt. I checked on you tube and the video I watched said to put two pieces of iron on stabilizer on the shirt and place a tear away in the frame. It said to not hoop the tshirt but to pin it to the stabilizer in the hoop. That sounds funny but is it correct or something you would do?
The tshirt fabric can be stretchy , so double your stableizer..
What’s a good starter embroidery machine?
I did a lot of research on embroidery machines and found for the right price and very good feedback on it is the Brother LB6800 PRW Project Runway Edition. It is awesome and I’ve had mine for a couple of weeks😎….I got mine at Walmart for 100$ cheaper than everywhere else. Also Amazon has one company selling also for 350$ ….Or if you don’t want the logo and case of Project Runway they have the same machine Brother SE-400 for 309$ . I Hope I helped😊
My first time to catch this broadcast. Looking forward to it.
