In this embroidery machine tutorial episode of Embroidery Hub, Laura walks you through the different ways on how to embroider stretchy fabric in order to ensure quality embroidery and avoid puckering and damaging the apparel. Puckering in machine embroidery is a common problem in the commercial embroidery industry.The stretchy characteristic is a quality of polyester fabrics that are commonly found in performance apparel such as gym and sports attire and other athletic wear. Embroidering polyester fabrics can be tricky, but by using the right backing, needles and hooping your stretchy fabric correctly you'll avoid puckering when embroidering polyester.

Thanks for the video. Hooping is very important so I would love to see the entire process of that instead of skipping past it. Would be nice to see your tricks to smoothing out the material. Thanks
Thanks for the feedback and the request! Thanks for watching!
I don't know who Manny is, but I'm here for you, Laura!
Hi Michelle, Manny occasionally helps out with our videos.
This video was super helpful!! Thank you
You are so welcome! What other projects would you like to see?
Thank you!
No problem Jonathan! Let us know if you have recommendations for future tutorials :)
So happy I found your channel. Can you tell us more about the top stabilizer you use on stretchy materials please?
Hi there! We're so glad you found us as well! You can get the aqua top water soluble stabilizer at any craft or embroidery supply store. We get ours at Allstitch.com
Hello,
Thanks for sharing. I have a janome one needle embroidery machine, was was quite a bit of money. The first time I tried to use a soft cotton baby vest, ( a onesie you call it in the USA), it just wouldn't stitch out at all. Great on cotton that doesn't stretch, but I came unstuck with the baby vest. I put in a new needle , 2 layers of stabiliser etc. Any ideas on what I am doing wrong? Please advise. Would be appreciated.
Thank you.
For stretchy fabrics, try a ballpoint needle and cutaway stabilizer. Is the material being hooped traditionally or floated? Is the design working on other fabrics?
Thank you for the tutorial. It was a great help.
Glad it helped!
Hello, thanks for the video :) Might sound like a random question but is there anything you could recommend to spray on to the top of my embroidery design to protect it ? Thank you :)

thanks, can you give me tips of what to use to embroider on minky fabric?
Hi Stefania, check out this video --->ua-cam.com/video/8ctt6R44yaA/v-deo.html
Could you use a regular sewing machine in place of the embroidery machine?
Unfortunately no. Sewing and embroidery machines perform different functions.
Question do you have any tips on doing an embroidery logo on a bamboo/spandex fabric?

Why you cut out the installation to hoop?
There is a video for that.
I did not see you use the aqua topping. Did you? Is it really necessary on this type of fabric?
you can use it if you're doing smaller lettering and details on this fabric
Can woven neck lables be created with the Ricoma machine?
Hi Berlin, our machines can work as sewing machines in come cases, they can definitely be used to attach a label toy our clothing.
Hmmm I wish the reveal at the end had a closer look I honestly couldn't see a difference between the quality of the green tanktop and the pink one
Hi Brandon, thanks so much for watching. I have relayed your comment to our video team. We're always looking for ways to improve and appreciate your feedback!
The needles use on this demo were the ballpoint?
Thanks.
Correct. You want to use ballpoint needles on stretchy fabrics so that it doesnt puncture holes in the garment. Ballpoint needles slip in between the thread of the fabric.
would be 75/11 ball point or 80/12 ball point? ...what's the difference?
Thanks.
75/11 ball point for most designs. I would use a 70/10 ballpoint for small or intricate designs. The higher the number the thicker the needle. You are going to want to stay away from thicker needles on stretchy fabric to avoid puncturing holes in the garment.
I am having trouble embroidering a design on 4 way stretch cotton. Its thickness is light/medium. I found that if i use a material called fusing fabric and iron on 2 layers of it, it prevents many of the issues i was having with gaps and puckering. Although, i still have a bit of tiny imperfections. I believe i need to sort out these kinks on Chroma and try a different stitch direction. Not sure why I'm getting gaps/skips in the middle of my letters (especially curved letters such as 'C' and 'G'). But if anyone else has any solutions or tricks, please let me know 😭

How can we avoid snags on this material?
Hello. What do you mean by snags
So its not recommended to use a 75/11 needle? would a 65/9 needle be able to do the job? Or its best to purchase a 70/11?
You can use 75/11 needles but you want to find ones that are made for stretchy material. It'll say it on the packaging!
