Common Embroidery Flops, Causes & Solutions
By Serena Nabeta | June 26, 2007
What do you do when your embroidery design doesn’t look like it should when it is finished? Can your design be recovered when the power is to the machine is lost and your design onscreen disappears? A needle breaks and rips a whole in your fabric; can that be repaired? Your machine was bumped and now the design outline is misplaced; how can that be fixed? If you have had any of the above questions, stay tuned to discover ways you can selvage the designs that you thought were destined for the trash! :)
We have all had designs that were just mistakes or perhaps we should term some of them disasters! Perhaps you have thrown the ripped shirt in the corner and grabbed a new one to stitch. Or maybe you have a pile of “mistakes” that you can’t seem to fix, but just hate to throw them away. As hard as we try to prevent errors from occurring, they will happen. And be guaranteed that the same mistake will probably happen more than once! So take a deep breath and learn some ways you can save your pile of mistakes.
Over the next few weeks, I will be sharing some common mistakes that happen, the things that cause them, several solutions to fix them into beautiful projects and ways to prevent the mistakes from happening in the future. Keep in mind that there are many methods to fix projects and that every solution may not work with every project you are doing. Are these the only mistakes you will encounter? No way! There will be new and different mistakes that will happen in your embroidery adventures, but try to be creative and selvage as many as you can!
