    • @NalakittyAMVs
      @NalakittyAMVs Před 27 dny +2

      In my experience with my brother se700, if you stop in the middle and turn off the machine, it will usually ask to resume upon turning on again. But if not, if you stop between two colors it’s super easy to pick up where you’ve left off 👍 all you have to do is keep the design in the hoop and don’t move it around so everything will still be aligned when you restart
      Hope that helped at all! Let me know if I can clarify

    • @LadySaphira
      @LadySaphira Před 14 dny

      Also disabled, yes you can on the more recent machines, I use a se1900 and it will ask to resume where I left off if I turn off in the middle of a project. Even if it didn't for some reason as long as the item is still in the hoop I can just select the design again and set it to where I want it to start stitching from.

  • @kaitlynt649
    @kaitlynt649 Před 3 lety +1

    Hi! I love this video, thank you so much for making it!! I have a quick question about your stitches. Does the stitch you punch out onto the paper just cover the size of the white part of your "let it grow" patch, or does it also include the border? In other words, should the fabric be the size of the entire design or just the part inside of the patch border? Thank you in advance!!

    • @stitchbackstories
      @stitchbackstories  Před 3 lety +2

      thank you! For this design, the white background and the border end at the same place. The fabric should be the size of the design. Usually when making appliques, a lot of people trim the fabric after the tack down stitch, but the paper template allows you to skip this step and cut all the fabric out beforehand (this is especially helpful if you plan on making multiples of the same design!)

    • @kaitlynt649
      @kaitlynt649 Před 3 lety

      @@stitchbackstories Thank you so much for your quick response! That is helpful! I am struggling to get my fabric cut outs the exact size of the patch even with the paper template - I always seem to be just a little under or a little over. Do you have any tips for getting the size spot on? (Or, in the case of imperfections, is it better to be a little over or a little under?)

    • @stitchbackstories
      @stitchbackstories  Před 3 lety

      @@kaitlynt649 A little under would be better so that you don't have the fabric showing through. However, if you go too far under, your satin stitches could start coming apart. When digitizing the position stitch, I like to place it about 2/3 the width of the satin stitch outline. Digitizing just takes practice, and I go over my process in the How to Digitize a Patch series: czcams.com/video/DddtX8JqQMw/video.html Hope that's helpful!

      I think heat and bond works, but I've never tried it -- try doing a test one first! And cotton shirts can shrink while your patch will not, so keep that in mind. I prefer to prewash the shirt and then both iron and sew on the patch, but I rarely will add patches to shirts.
