Materials

Embroidering Directions

• Brother Pacesetter stabilizer: Choose the best one for your material

• Brother Pacesetter embroidery thread

• Embroidery design

• Shirt to embroider

• Marking tool

• Brother LB7000PRW Sewing and Embroidery Machine

Begin by pressing your garment. Then use the template to mark where you want your design to

be. (I mark both right and wrong sides with a fabric marking tool.) Choose an area of the shirt

that is flat. (For this design, I will be using the yoke and the back panel.)

Use a stabilizer that works with your fabric and place at least 1" over the markings. (I love

adhesive-backed stabilizers, because you can cut it to the needed size, peel and stick it right on.)

Floral Embroidered

Denim Shirt

For this post, I will share with you how to embroider onto a collared shirt with the Brother LB7000PRW Sewing and Embroidery Machine. This is a great way to update old or boring clothing. The LB7000PRW has a set of built-in floral patterns that I will be using on this denim shirt. Get the details below on how to embroider your own custom look.

Hoop it.

Hooping Tip: You don’t want it too tight or too loose. It should sound like a drum when tapping it.

Once the first set of embroideries is

complete, continue to repeat the previous

steps to place more designs wherever

you’d like. The LB7000PRW makes it easy

to mirror images for creating patterns (like

I did on the yoke).

Set up your machine to embroider. You

can adjust the size and placement of the

pattern, which makes it easy to place the

design exactly where you want it.

If the yoke isn’t enough, the back panel is

another great place to embroider.

The options and ideas are endless on what

you can add embroidery to!
