Embroidered Onesie Wonders
August 9th, 2008 in sewing, fashion, gifts, embroideryHere are the adorable onesies I made for my friend Lindsey's baby shower Saturday with Urban Threads designs and a little help from my 4D Embroidery Software. I did use a few tricks along the way!
- Use a stabilizer that is sticky, yet washes away. I prefer Aqua Magic Plus stabilizer from Inspira. This allows me to use a stick stabilizer, which is best for knits, but also the wash away feature ensures that even if I don't get all the stabilizer it won't be scratching at the baby.
- I basted in the hoop (if you don't know what that is check out the beginning of this how-to video) and used a water soluble film stabilizer on top of the knit. This was for added stability but also to ensure that my stitches stayed on top of the knit when I was embroidering. I like Dissolve Away also from Inspira.
- Since these little projects were super small (AW!!!) I un-sewed the seam along one side of the onesie to allow the project to lay flat so I could embroider less awkwardly.
