Does anyone know of a book on how to do all the different types of machine embroidery formats? Like how do you do embroidery on tee shirts without getting holes in them or a birds nest behind them? Or FSL, ITH, Applique, Cutwork, etc.. I am amazed at the amount of embroiderying some people are able to do. I wish I could get a project a day done. I'm lucky to get in 4 or 5 a month. Maybe some day I will have more time to embroider, lol, but for now my life is soo busy with lifes chores and errands for our business. I'm still a beginner when it comes to machine embroidery yet. There are several things I have not tried for fear that my machine won't handle them or I will have issues such as birds nests. My machine has a tendency to snarl behind the scenes on many of my designs, which is frustrating to say the least! Anyone knowing of a book that shows are tells step by step the different formats of Machine embroidery please list it, its will go on my wish list!!

ALL IS LEARNT BY THE TRIAL AND ERROR METHOD.
Be not afraid to follow this way:^)

Diane, I do not know of a book. But I have a note book next to my computer were I have written all sorts of tips/info in, since I got my machine. You have been given some good sites to view all sorts of tips for projects. Just try to do 1 new thing a week/month. Once you start there will be no stopping you. I must admit that I try anything that comes my way. Hugs Yvonne

just be brave a little at a time 8-) you will manage

on you tubeyou will find many videos e.g.
search for "Embroidery Cutwork made easy" at A Stitch a Half for Machine Embroidery

Here is a link of the Emblib ray site with video's how to do things, I hope this helps.

EmbLibrary is the first place to look for advice. I've watched a lot of them and they give great tips.

I am like you in that I am not brave enough to try some projects. I am also busy with our business and grandsons and sometimes I spend too much time on this site to embroider. lol I am enjoying life so that's all that matters. One day I'll just jump in and tackle those beautiful projects!

If you go to embroidery library and to the project site,you will have all the answers.You could evt. print it out.Good luck
