Metallic Thread Embroidery For You!

Published on July 19, 2007 in Machine Embroidery Designs.

metal-thread-embroidery.jpgWhat is metallic thread embroidery? This is a machine embroidery technique which uses fibers that reflect a metallic lustre and radiance. At first look, one might mistake it to be real metal but in reality, these are only fiber threads which look like metal. Surprisingly, these fibers are comparatively less strong and hence needs to be embroidered with great care.

Why is metallic thread embroidery becoming popular? The fascinating and spell binding color lustrous combinations that emerge from this style of embroidery makes it commercially viable to operate. These are popular for embroidering apparels, wrist bands, belts, lamp shades, bags and book covers.

Check out a sample at Stitchery Mall. Isnt it spell binding! The butterflies and the flowers come to life due to the metal threading. Also you could notice the fineness of the image. The size of this particular embroidery piece is 75mm by 95mm. This can be downloaded in the following machine embroidery formats – ARTv2, ARTv4, DST, HUS, JEF, PCS, PES, SEW, VIP.

Where Are The Borders For Your Embroidery Hoops?

Published on June 24, 2007 in Applique Embroidery Designs and Machine Embroidery Designs.

poinsettiacorner1-100607.jpgThis is an oft repeated question and I have been getting a few requests to get some cute looking borders for the embroidery hoops. We have quite a few resources on the actual embroideries or appliques but very few which really give you choices for the variety of borders that you can treat your design to. Just like in artwork, the border can make or break the look and feel of an embroidery. Hence it is important to choose the right border for the right design.

How does one do this? The rules are quite simple. Invertendo is the key. If the design is really complex and eyecatching, simple or sometimes no borders would do. If the design is simple or small and you would really want to attract the viewer, a smart border which showcases the design would be apt. The embroidery border should always focus to highlight the design – in some manner or the other.

Check out this page at Madmumbler. This focuses on some of the borders that you can choose from – as starters. But innovation is the key. Elegant borders can be used for stunning designs like the appliscapes. They generally come with single color or multi color formats from which you can choose suitably. Borders like the Holly Corner (you see besides this post) is good for simple colorful designs which need to suitably accentuated. This comes in 3 sizes, 2 of them fit the 4X4 hoop, the third fits the 5X7 hoop. These designs are available in the .hus, .pes, and .dst formats and the information on machine embroidery would come in handy here. Some of the moon corner border embroideries you see in the site are really cute and can be used as a contrast to the parent design.

Here is a great resource on some pretty embroidery fonts – The Embroidery Font Shop. All of them would make great appliques. Each font category has unique characteristics and should be used appropriately for the right person and dress. For example, the Aristocrat font denotes classiness while the Funky font is more casual. The Flirty font is best for teens, whilst the Monster font is the kids favourite. There are some good wedding fonts like Silverbell, Charming or Edwardian which you could use for special invites.
All fonts come in small, medium and large sizes with 26 letters. If the font style is such that the size varies depending on whether it is at the center or right/left position, then you would have both the size options. The embroidery fonts come in Jef, art, pcs, pcd, xxx, exp, csd, pec, pes, sew, hus, dst, vip formats (the information on machine embroidery would come in handy here).

Some of them are quite unique like Tinkertoy, Antique, Skittles. A good auto digitizing software for embroidery fonts is Singer Hyper Font – Font Auto Digitizing Software. The hyper font software easily converts any Windows True Type (R) font into embroidery embellishments.
