FAQs
Q1. How far can embroidery be traced back to?
The technique of embroidery was first developed in China and the Near East, despite the fact that it is now done in a wide variety of locations around the globe. The historical period of the Cro-Magnon people, which began about 30,000 B.C., is very definitely when the earliest examples of needlework were made. The fossilized fragments of clothing that had been masterfully hand-stitched and ornamented have been discovered in archaeological findings dating back to this time period.

Q2. How do you embroider an edge?

The edge stitches may be quite straightforward and completed in a very short amount of time. In addition, they provide something distinctive to your outfit, which helps to personalize and distinguish it from others on the market. Make the stitching stand out by using a thread with a contrasting color or use a thread with a complimenting color to blend colors.

Q3. Can you embroider over sequins?
It is necessary to stitch through plastic while embroidering on sequins; consequently, a sharp needle, such as a topstitching needle, is advised for this task. It's a lot of fun to embroider on sequins! Using a large needle to prevent the thread from being eroded by the needle as it is passed through the stiff plastic may be advantageous in keeping the thread from being eroded by the needle as it is passed through. To keep sequins in place while stitching, adjust the height of your embroidery foot on your machine. This may be accomplished by following the directions in the handbook.
