Can someone please tell me if you stabilize, Levi or fabric that is that heavy? Do you use the same needle and stuf? Thank you for all your help. JoAnn

Thanks everyone for the good advice. Love JoAnn

Denim is my favourite fabric to embroider on but as I ususally make up the item first and then embroider it, I hoop light tearaway then use a glue stick to position the denim on the stabiliser. I use the same method of gluing to the stabiliser when I embroider precut denim squares. Sometimes I just want to stitch a design and not sure what to do with it which is why I have precut denim squares too.

I use the same needle size for all my projects: top stitch needles and I use Brother bobbin thread because I wind my own bobbins :) I dont always use my expensive embroidery (top) threads tho, I like to use el-cheapo regular poly sewing thread too. xXx

I agree but I did use a denim needle when I embroidered & turned into gs" bib. I used my dh old jeans Ranglers

I've embroidered on some denim fabric. Some I had to stabilize, and some I didn't. It depended on how heavy the denim was. Men's denim jean fabric I didn't stablilize, but softer denim, and stretch denim I had to. I would do a test design on a swatch to check. Also it depends on the density of the design you are using.
