Have a question about machine embroidery techniques or problems?
- For us who have arthritic fingers - you can buy rubber grips that are used on the end of a ink pen - I cut them to size and slip them onto the screw of my embroidery hoop. It gives better grip when I finger tighten it the hoop.
- Quilting is really no different than machine embroidery...your needle is moving very fast and you are sewing a straight stitch. If you are using a titanium needle, it should last 5 times longer than the regular needles. These needles are available in four sizes to accommodate all thread types, including metallic threads. One thing to remember about needles:If you start having problems with frayed thread or thread breaking change the needle,it's often the culprit, yet very easy to fix. The Topstitch needle has a larger eye and deeper groove,(Superior Titanium-coated Topstitch Needles).
