I’d like to make patches for caps, school logo, my husband’s office logo for their uniforms, t shirt designs, also for bags, amd different patches for jackets and other fabrics

out of words

this is really something to look forward to! I havent tried any embroidery machine but this was on top of my wishlist for the longest time…

my first crafting machine was a sewing machine 15 years ago and there are some projects that needed embroidery… I make customized plush toys and having embroidered details would level up my creations…

samples of my work…

[prinsesaian]

I’d love to make some patches too!

[BellethehowtoGuru]

I am so excited for this. I can’t wait

I would make patches, quilts, pillows, baby blankets, designs for hats, t-shirts, jackets. The possibilities are endless. I have had an embroidery machine on my list for ages.

[BellethehowtoGuru]

These are adorable.

[prinsesaian]

thank you!

Yayyyyyy, Been looking for embroidery machine for a while. Hope it won’t make a Hole in my pocket​:wink:

I’ve been inspired by Pinterest and TikTok lately, seeing people patching holes in their jeans with embroidery machines. It would be great to use one myself, especially a blue one! It would be amazing!

I’ve been doing embroidery designing and stitching since 2013 (when I got my first embroidery machine as a Christmas gift from my husband - a week before I gave birth to my first and only daughter). During that year I was a Seahawks fan! So I created a lots of Seahawks gears, accessories, patches using my embroidery machine. Most of my creations were for gifting and selling. Year 2014 when Seahawks won their Super Bowl, so my sewing and embroidery machines were busy (when my newly born baby is sleeping ). Here are some patches I made with my creations below:

It’s on my wishlist too I need it badly to make baptism towels, Tshirts, hats, scarves and embroidery canvas as souvenirs and so much more

[rinsky]

Patches are really fun to do, and you can sell them really quick!

[rinsky]

You should get one! I am telling you, it’s really fun to make projects with some embroidery touched in it. Even just for the cheapest one in the market for making crafts (gifts/sell) to start but when you want to do more like using a multi-needle function that is something to be considered. The one I am looking last time was in the price range of $15,000 - that was when I enrolled in the Embroidery class using multi-needle embroidery machines way back 2017. I just checked a similar machine, and the price now went down.

That’s really exciting! An embroidery machine I would love to create floral design and inspiring quotes on fabrics especially shirts

[rinsky]

Something like this?

Ooh how lovely!!! I had a brother one years ago but unfortunately it broke down on me, but this gave me an insight to embroidery , since then I fell in love, but was never able to afford one(I’m always the type of person who wants the latest and best one but never been able to make this dream come true as it’s far out of budget)

My dream is to get the 6 needle brother however financially I don’t think il ever be able to afford it.

I just love the idea of not changing the thread for the design lol, manually changing a needle is my pet peeve, hence why not getting a cheaper one because I want my embroidery journey to go smooth and stress free, especially when it comes to doing multiple orders, it becomes a stress session.

Can you imagine being mid design and manually having to change the thread!!! Arrrgh never again ahahah

[lyka_artspace]

Yes that’s so nice

[BellethehowtoGuru]

This is the machine I have been looking at. I defiantly want a six-needle machine. I would love to get that one, maybe one day.

[BellethehowtoGuru]

All your designs are so lovely
