Embroidery Sewing Machines
Some embroidery sewing machines are "Embroidery Only" machines. These sewing machines are solely devoted
to doing machine embroidery. They do not do the work of a regular sewing machine.
Other embroidery sewing machines, the higher end of the market, offer sewing machines that can do any and
everything. They usually have a removable embroidery unit so the machine will meet any sewing need.
As always a local sewing machine dealer can be your best source for training. It's always advisable to know what
you are looking for before you go shopping.
What is Hooping?
Embroidery sewing machines come with hoops that attach to embroidery sewing machines. Hooping is putting the
fabric into an embroidery sewing machine hoop. Stabilizing and tightness are very important. Unlike hand
embroidery, the fabric MUST stay in the same position while the sewing machine embroiders the design. If the
fabric moves, the design will not stitch out correctly. The border not lining up with the rest of the design is a common
tell tale that the fabric moved.
The simplest way to think of hooping, is that the hoop is acting as your presser foot as the embroidery sewing
machine stitches the design.
What is Stabilizer?
Embroidery sewing machines use a darning foot that is not actually down on the fabric and there is no feed dog
under the fabric to hold it in place. The stabilizer "stiffens" the fabric to hold it taut as the embroidery sewing
machine does it's work, working in conjunction with proper hooping.
What Stabilizers Do?
There are a variety of stabilizers available with a variety of purposes and uses. Some are used below the fabric you
are embroidering. Some are used on the top. Napped fabric, such as terry cloth, needs a stabilizer on top to hold
the nap down and prevent the loops of fabric from poking through the embroidery design. Water soluble and Heat
Away are commonly used as a top side stabilizer. Water soluble stabilizer will dissolve in water. Heat away turns to
ash with the heat of an iron. Either one will leave no trace of the stabilizer but will hold the fabric down to get the job
done.
What is Free Motion Embroidery?
Free motion embroidery is an art! It does not require embroidery sewing machines. You create your own design and
use a sewing machine to free hand draw and fill in your design. The feed dog is dropped and a darning foot is used.
The challenge is to keep your hands moving in unison with the sewing machine to create even stitches.
