Without a stabilizer sheet, embroidering on knit fabrics would be extremely difficult. Knit fabric by nature is flexible. When you stretch it on a hoop the fabric is distorted, resulting in uneven stitching.
Is it easy to embroider a shirt?
Adding embroidery to a T-shirt, baby onesie, or another item with stretchy fabric is easy to do with the right preparation. The biggest challenge when embroidering on knit T-shirt fabric is that the design can become distorted when the fabric stretches or if stitches pull too tight.
How long does it take to embroider a shirt?
If you wish to embroider on a baby’s shirt, it may take 5-6 hours to finish. But if you are planning to embroider an adult shirt, it will take a longer time. The approximate time could be 10-12 hours of nonstop hand embroidery. If you want to take breaks between, it may take around 15 hours to finish.
What can I use if I don’t have stabilizer for embroidery?
Fabric stabilizer may be essential to embroidery projects but you can also use different fabrics instead of a stabilizer. Cotton, sweatshirt materials, fleece, flannel are all good alternatives to fabric stabilizers.
Can you embroider on clothes?
Hand embroidery on clothes is a fun way to give an old shirt or pants new life. It’s not too different from embroidering in a hoop. In fact, I recommend using a hoop when you are stitching to make sure the fabric stays nice and flat, and doesn’t tug or wrinkle the fabric.
