Hi

How can I embroider on a suede material? What needle size should I use? I have MC 11000, what stabilizer should I?
Do I have to hoop ? Thanks , Berandette

Hello Bernadette... I embroider on suede all the time. Use your standard 11 or 14 needle and tear away or cut away stabilizer. I wouldn't hoop the suede, just hoop the stabilizer and use either a spray adhesive or better yet, sticky stabilizer.

You'll find suede VERY easy to work with. :-) Have fun!

I have embroidered on suede and I agree with this method exactly. I use spray adhesive as I don't have sticky stabiliser.
