I always make the younger Grandchildren machine embroidered shirts for holidays, etc.
Here are the four that I've gotten done today. :lol: I'm pretty pleased with them. Have three more to do, five if the older ones are interested; have to play that by ear :) :)

Thank you all for your great comments. My favorite part of making these is seeing them wearing them. :lol:
Still I have more to make and will post them as I get them done this coming week.
Again, thanks for all the kind words--such an encouraging QB. :lol:

Okay, here are three more of the shirts. Hope you like :)
I know it's machine embroidery...not quilting, but I wanted to share since I get so much from this QB.

I just love them!!! What type of stabilizer and thread did you use? I am slowly learning to use my machine embroidery module, and would love to do shirts. Is it hard and do you hoop? Any hints would be greatly appreciated. I want to do some hand towels for my daughter for Christmas, but am afraid to start :shock:

SharonC 10-05-2009 02:10 PM

Thanks.
Nursie76 - I'm by no means an expert but I use 2 layers of soft n sheer (Sulky) cut-away permanent stabilizer which I hoop. Then I make my marks and glue to the top of the hoop. With T-Shirts I pin the 4 corners too so it's not too stretched out, but holds. I use mostly rayon embroidery threads...have an assortment so I mix and match. If you are doing towels I recommend you hoop your stabilizer, then add the towel to the top like I do with the shirts, but add a layer of wash away stabilizer to the top...something to do with the terry cotton on the towels...it'll wash out after you're done.
I made towels last year and they were a HUGE hit :)
Would love to see when you're done.

nursie76 10-05-2009 02:44 PM

Thank you so much for the tips, I will let you know how it turns out and send pics.

Okay, so I have the last two shirts to show you then I'm FINALLY done :) (whew).
SewJoyce - Hadn't thought of one for me, but since I'm handing out candy I might do that when I get back from my cruise. :) :) Funny how we tend to forget about ourselves :LOL:

Thanks again to everyone for your kind words.

They are so cute...where did you get the design for Cora's shirt...so cute.

SharonC 10-18-2009 05:47 PM

Sorry for the delay in replying, we've been on an 8 day cruise and just got back.
I'm not sure where I got the ME pictures..I just surf and if there's something I think I can use for the grandbabies later--then I download and use :(.
