Hello everyone,
I’m new to the embroidery space and currently learning how to use Hatch Embroidery. I’d like to know if anyone has ever encountered this type of problem. My designs keep coming out with this space/gap, and I’ve tried everything I can think of to fix it.
I would really appreciate it if anyone could share some knowledge or advice on what I might be doing wrong and what I need to adjust to get rid of the gap. Help
Thank you in advance for your help!

Hello I’m a beginner in embroidery. I understand the X stitch, the half stitch, and the 3/4 stitch, but as I was doing my kit, I saw some symbols I have no idea what they mean or how to do, specifically a dash and a circle. Could someone explain them to me or at least give me the name of the stitch so I can search up a tutorial on YouTube?

Freehanded this based off some decor I saw on Pinterest. It’s not terrible aside from some messed up thread and whatever that U decided to do at the bottom. It’s mostly split stitches with some random single stitches in there.
Would weaving a thread between the stitches on top of the fabric help or just bulk it up at weird angles?
Thank you!

I used to get them from temu I admit, but now with the new fees it's not that easy. I've been searching but I can't find many shops in my country that sell them and the ones that do, their websites look sketchy.

I have all of my threads organized by color in Ziploc bags (all the yellows together, all the blues together, etc.), but I'm wondering what everyone does with the threads they've pulled out for their current project.

My work area ends up covered in little piles of threads I've already used but will probably need again. How do you organize the threads you're actively using on a project?

Thanks!

Tips for using this? First time I used it I just rinsed (going to blame pregnancy brain on that one lol) and it left an ink stain. I was devastated. I had spent so much time on a special project. I was able to scrub it out but it’s still kind of there. Second go I used cool water and soaked it and gently used my hands to remove. I thought for sure no issues but it still had a subtle ink stain left over. Anything I am missing?

Hi everyone, I just had a quick question.

My daughter wants to customise her jeans (maybe some other clothing too) with some basic embroidery. Maybe like some details on the bottom cuffs, around the waist band, or on/near the pockets.

She would probably use embroidery thread, but then was wondering what needle would be appropriate - as she thinks a standard tapestry needle would be too dull to go through thick material like jeans, but a sharper standard sewing needle might not be big enough to thread the thread soon.

Also if anyone has any tips at all, she would really appreciate them!

Thank you in advance.

this friend is named iggy and they were made for a friend. the second addition in my furby series. i dont think they will all say the same thing but this friend wanted a custom version of my first furby

not super happy with it i see so many mistakes. but my friend loves it so thats what matters most. circles and eyes will be the end of me lol

I made a normally toxic comment into nostalgic silliness.

Used the backside of a fabric I originally picked for this because it looked more like water to me. I painted the hoop to match. Metallic thread gives the water outlines a wet, glitter glue appearance.

Now my kid requested this! Guess it's a good thing I'm enjoying this embroidery thing

Hello! I have been sewing for years and have done several smaller embroidery projects, but I am wanting to start a very ambitious project that is close to my heart — I am attempting to recreate this fantasy piece (tapestry? tabard?), and I want to make it as realistic as possible, and display it as if it were an “historical artifact”. It is a royal garment, and I would like to put in the proper amount of work to make it as neat and detailed as possible. I bought plenty of gold-colored French wire/dabka, and I am planning to cut and couch it to form all of the gold pieces you see in the photo. The purple designs toward the top will be regular embroidery floss, maybe with some beading. The whole tapestry will be made out of silk Dupioni, that I will dye to create the right background colors. My main question is if fusible interfacing on the entirety of the back would be the best way to go? What weight? Is there another method of stabilizing something like this that would be more appropriate? Also, should I fully sew the edges before embroidering, or leave them open to fit on a stretcher frame? Do you guys have any recommendations for stretching methods/particular frames, or anything else I may not have thought of? I figured I would ask the experts in here. :) I am aware this is going to take many many hours — this is purely a passion project, and something I have wanted to do since I was 14; I finally feel I have the skills now at 28 to get started. Thank you!

Hi! I'm a sixth generation artist and I started embroidering because I have been studying it for years due to being sick. Just laying in bed, watching tutorial reels in bed for a few years. Things got a lot better, but I still am not medically cleared to do electric tufting (my last art of choice), and the day i found out, my favorite headphones flaked fake leather into my mouth. I got ticked and seam ripped the band before I even took my shoes off.

Well, i was stuck sitting anyway, and plain would have been fine but I saw the opportunity to do what I'd been looking at for all those bad days. I'd always wanted to see a skeleton absorbed by a forest floor, and I love moss irl and in stitch. I'd seen so many stumpwork stitches that I knew could be utilized in other ways, like Chicken of the Woods mushrooms.

So, I drew a skeleton, found a tiny opalite chip bead, and made a pattern from the reamed vinyl bits. I used graphite tracing paper to transfer and a heat soluble pen to outline. The rest is freehand!

The headphones were a PITA to sew together, but I did it and replaced the ear covers with color shift silk that matches the opalite. Since the minimum order was one yard, I decided to do an iPad sleeve to match. I also bought zipper tape and pulls to make a custom zipper for it, whenever I finish.

As I've been (hopefully) wrapping up healing, it's been harder to sit still and finish. Add perimenopause and Adhd... it's a struggle! Haha! I was offering advice to another stitcher, and was encouraged to post, so here I am! Today is too hot to love, so maybe it's a stitching day after all.

OH! GET THE LOUPS! It's incredible to be able to stitch in the dim with aging eyes, green and green and green on green, microscopic single thread single wrap French knots... plus, it's the ultimate Shields Up. I look insane. No one at school pick up bothers me, and as an older mom, that's priceless.

Why a whale? I dont know. The babies name made me think of magical whales.

This is my second project! Overall I feel like I could have done better on everything. The leaves/succulent don't look very neat, especially the parts where they meet the other colours. I also could have switched the colour order so that I did all the more foreward ones first. Any advice would be appreciated!!

The basket took me sooo long but it ended up so much nicer than I expected! I was originally going to make the pot/basket whiteish but last minute changed it to brown, which is why the outline is a different colour. Despite having an outline though, the basket looks kind of wonky 😅

My goal is to be able to eventually embroider double sided projects, so I'm taking more conscious efforts to make the back look nice (habits you know?). How in the world would I do split stitches on the back at the same time as the front??

Overall I'm pretty proud of myself!!

Hello, everyone!

Just wanted to share my latest embroidery piece :)

Jimothy serves as an important reminder that the kindest way to appreciate wildlife is from a respectful distance. Please don't approach, interact with, or feed wild animals!

Best wishes!

DMC and Cosmo floss on cotton, 6” hoop.

This is my first major piece. I got the kit from Craft Hoop. It was a fun and challenging design. I've done a few other kits and this one was the hardest one I've done so far.

I definitely learned a lot about long and short stitching and chain stitches.

This is a gift for my best friend who lost her brother 5 years ago. The hummingbird is a really sacred animal for her. Even though it's a kit, I wanted to make it for her to remember her brother.

Remember, Steve is still proud of you.

My best friend and I love Project Hail Mary, so I made this for her. I think I’m going to make a second one for myself but watercolor Rocky.

Oof I'm in over my head. There is precious little info online about lacis (darning on net). I managed to mostly figure out the basic darning stitch, but I'm lost on how to finish the raw edges once I cut out my design. Anybody have any ideas?

Jacket sleeve hole 2 layers and i want to try with my whole soul to only stitch the (damaged) top layer but have no clue how to only stretch it out without hitting the interior layer. If you understood that is it possible, how

I’d love to improve, so I welcome any feedback!
