who can explain how I could sew an embroidery on a tee-shirt or on a leg of trousers ? I can't manage on the hoop ! I hope you will understand me.

Françoise, please post a picture of your projects when you are finished and let us know how you finally hooped them. I know with this much info - you were able to find something to use. *4U Shirlene

francoisen, you have answers, so hugs and a flower sweetie.

I open the leg at the inside seam to embroider on jeans.... I iron a soft fusible stabliser on the tee and hoop tearaway, pin the tee to tearaway. I don't hoop the tee because I don't like the marks it leaves and it makes centering easier. The fusible stabliser on the fabric keeps it from stretching and helps when laundering the tee. I usually don't put anything on top, depends on the fabric. If it's thin I'll use a WSS. I hope I didn't make this confusing. Have fun with it.

Look in Embroidery Libraray at. You can download a .pdf. (http://www.emblibrary.com/EL/elpr...). Have fun! Post your project when you have completed it. :) *4U

I'm still experimenting with T's and as for pants, I opened the side seem way up so I could easily hoop. I may have to get some of this "sticky stabilizer" stuff raels is talking about. *4U

I use cut-a-way stabalizer on the back and hoop. I usually place water soluble stabalizer on the top (some people do not)to control the knit fabric from moving. As raels suggested the sticky back type would keep it from moving.

I always hoop sticky back stabilizer for t-shirts and you have to open the seam on the leg of trousers so you can hoop them * 4 U

Hallo Francoise, ich arbeite mit kleinen Stickrahmen wenn das Design nicht zu groß ist oder wenn möglich ist dann mache ich eine Seiten Naht auf, sticke mein Motiv und zum Schluß nähe ich alles wieder zu. Ich hoffe ich kann dir damit ein wenig helfen. Liebe Grüße und Blumen für dich Hilde

I wrote you and explained all of this, however, for some reason it is not showing up?? If you do not get help I will try again. Let me know SORRY! Hugs and flowers anyway.

I've never done tshirts but I'm quite sure that at www.emblibrary.com there is a good tutorial about it. As regards trousers you need to undo at least a part of one of the leg seams before hooping, then hoop and embroider the design you like. good luck and here's a flower for you
