Tips for Embroidering on Cotton for Quilt Blocks

1. When choosing cotton fabrics look for a high thread count. Quilters muslin is 150cm wide and although a bit more expensive than regular cotton fabrics it has a higher thread count and is wider therefore works out economical.

 

2. Pre wash the fabric in warm water and dry it in a hot dryer or on the line in the sun, press with a hot iron.  

 

3. After cutting your fabric into the blocks you require (always allow extra in your blocks to compensate for any shrinkage which occurs when embroidering) press with a spray starch – do not use an ironing aid as this has more water than actual starch – use a good quality spray starch. When the first spray starch has been dried by the hot iron, spray starch and press again.

 

4. Use an iron on paper – this is paper thin and is used to stabilize the fabric and prevents the grain from shifting.

It is available from http: //www. echidnaclub. com. au/ in Australia and http: //www. hemingworth. com/ in the United States

5. Use a medium tear away stabilizer also – this stabilizes the embroidery.

6. If you can see needle penetrations in your muslin reduce you needle size. If you’re using and 80/12 needle, move down to a 70/10. When stitching on muslin I also use a Microtex sharp needle. This is sharper than an embroidery needle and also has a smaller eye and you are less likely to see any needle penetrations in your fabric.

 

7. When embroidery is complete remove all traces of both stabilizers – a fine pair of tweezers is helpful.  

 

8. Press embroidery face down on a thick towel and spray starch.

 

If you use your machine on a daily basis I recommend you have your machine serviced by a trained professional at least every six months and always request they make sure your tension is perfect for embroidery – it all helps to stitch out perfect pucker free embroidery.
