How To Embroider Felt For Hair Bows (Brother Se 400)

Hi I want to go ahead and show you my sewing machine. It'S a brother, se, 400. The F C stands for sewing and embroidery, and I want to jump on here and do a quick review of it and show you how I embroider something on here. This is for my friend, Stephanie she's been wanting to get in machine, and so I went ahead and said I'll go ahead and show you how to make a felt e, which just means that you're embroidering on top of felt and then I use it for hair Bows and stuff, so these this would be the bunny ears that I will be making very easy to make. What you need is your hoop so on this machine, SC 400 comes with a 4 by 4 embroidery hoop, and I already have my stabilizer attached inside the hoop real easy to do before I get started. I need to go ahead and choose one. I have that I've uploaded on the screen. As you can see, this is all a touch screen, and this right here means that it's been uploaded, so I'm gon na go and find the bunny ears that I was and then I just hit upload. So it's gon na be ready for me to go and it says right here and I can't get that to go to zoom in clear sorry about that. It says: Ben 1, backslash, 6. Ok - and it's telling me a color here, but you don't really have to go with that color, that's just something! That'S programs on there anyway! So it's going to start with your first stitch and it's going to be. This is actually a placement stitch. So let me show you real easy to do camera a little bit place your hoop inside of the Machine and then I'm at my felt already cut to size. It'S just white felt that I cut that was it inside the hoop. So I'm gon na put this on top here like this. Let'S see if it's in there real nice and then you have to push down the presser foot that'll bring this part down here flat. I already have all my thread and everything already put into the machine. So I'm ready to go and you can tell by the green light now. This will be my place where stitch I'm gon na go ahead and Stitch that out, and it's going to show me where I need to put my other piece of felt that I'm going to put on here and I'll. Show you what I do with that. Okay, now, what I'm gon na do is I'm going to cut a small piece of pink felt, okay and then I'm going to place it on top of where it is show me to put the piece here. So I just I'll lift up my presser foot. Put this in here, make sure it's what press the foot back down and then you are ready to go. This is called applique when you place it on top and sew, so you can do belt fabric. I'Ve even done ribbon. Okay, now before I go into my next step, what I like to do is take it out real, quick, and I want to trim around here just real quick, so when it does its next stitch, this won't be in the way. Okay. So now it's just trimmed around and it's ready for me so go ahead, it and place it back in and with this design, it's ready to start stitching the top and the bottom. It just depends on what design you have some designs. Don'T require me to do this, but I like for the felt to show on the front and the back, and it also makes it more sturdy, so I'm just placing it underneath: okay and that's a red lights. Tommy, it's not ready to go I'll press it! The foot down brush your green button and it's ready to stitch again try to get some light in here. Okay and you'll see that it's it's telling me now or on step, four of six. So now this will be my stitch, placing and then the next time it'll stitch on top. So this is going to show me where it's going to stitch on that place that felt on there. When I have my felt on there, then I'll press this and that for the next step and then that'll stitch it right on it'll applicate it right on just like the first okay. So now it's doing the placement stitch. It'S gon na tell me where to put, though okay looks like it's about: okay, sometimes I don't even take it out of there I'll just trim real quick so that all this extra felt is out of the way. This might seem time-consuming this um, but it is so cute on top of the hair bow. Okay. Now I'm ready to go this place. That stitch is already here and it's done its appliquéd. The light pink is appliquéd on there and then now i'm going to press the foot back down and a stitch around and complete the design and you'll see here that we're on our last stitch is just going to go ahead and stitch around that last part. There. Okay, turned red, it's all done and the screen will say finished sewing okay. Now what I need to do to complete this is take this out carefully. Take it out of there. It is completely stitched out, and all you need to do is just loosen up the hoop pop it out and then just cut and then I'll cut around now. This is actually tearaway stabilizer and tearaway stabilizer. You can just literally just tear it and pull it off of your design, so what I'll do is I usually for this one I'll cut, and then I have two pieces: you'll see how easy this is, it just pulls away and it makes the lines real nice And clean so when I'm all done pulling everything away, I'll have two ears just like this, so that is my review of this brother. Se 400 sewing embroidery machine. I love it. I'Ve made a ton of stuff with this and, like I said you can sew with this also, but this piece right here is actually connected on so Stephanie. What you'll have to do is you'll. The next video I do for you is I'll, actually remove this and put the soem piece on and sew something free and show you how easy it is. But it's very, very easy to to put the thread in you know loop. It through feed it through here and then you're just ready to go, and this is your bobbin down here - that's real easy, so those are other videos that I can do for you but Stephanie. I just wanted to show you how easy this is to make and how much fun and how many different things you can do. Alright I'll talk to you soon. Thank you. Everybody
