How I hoop my knitted items on a non-industrial embroidery machine

See the video here: How to Monogram on Knits

I was asked to monogram an order of knitted Christmas stockings.  Embroidery or monogramming on knitwear can be tricky. Many of today's embroidery machines have special hoops that will allow you to embroider different kinds of fabrics, sizes & specialty items. I don't have that kind of machine at home, so I use my Brother PE770 Embroidery Machine to do some of my monogramming. In this video I'm going to be showing you how I attach the knitwear without hoping it in the hoop. I used a reinforced cutaway stabilizer, pins, a ruler, and a pen. The software I used to create monograms is called Embird. It's an extremely powerful embroidery software. You can buy all the modules, or you can just purchase the modules that you're interested in. I highly recommend it it's amazing. Like any software when you first start out it can be challenging, but it's we're well worth it I have been using it for over 10 years. And what's great about it is it will not cost an arm and a leg. Updates are usually free, upgrades at a minimal cost.  Hope this helps everyone out there.

Cheerleader Monograms

Today I finished monogramming cheerleader tops. The team’s company went out of business and they were left with 5 shirts without the school logo. I used the “Yearbook Outline” font to match the other tops. Here they are!
