Machine Embroidery on Faux Suede

Faux suede is an excellent fabric choice for this design, offering a rich texture that complements the applique beautifully. Embroidering on faux suede is easier than you might think, and the results are stunning. Here’s how to get the best results:

1. Fabric Selection: Choose a faux suede that suits your project. Lighter, drapier suede is ideal for apparel, while heavier suede is perfect for bags and home decor

2. Needle and Stabilizer: Use a 75/11 sharp needle to effectively pierce through the synthetic fabric. Pair this with a medium-weight (2 oz.) cutaway stabilizer to prevent puckering and ensure your design stays crisp and clear​

3. Hooping: Spray your stabilizer with adhesive, such as Gunold KK100, and smooth the faux suede onto it. Hoop both layers together, making sure they are held firmly in place. Faux suede’s synthetic nature means you don’t need to worry about hoop burn, and any indentations can be easily smoothed out

Machine Embroidery of Shopping Bags

When applying the Cat with a Tail Applique to a shopping bag, there are a few things to consider:

• Bag Type: The type of bag you choose can affect the embroidery process. For best results, use a bag that allows for easy hooping, such as those with flat surfaces and no obstructions like pockets or zippers​
• Hooping Techniques: Depending on the bag’s design, you may need to open seams to facilitate hooping. This is particularly true for smaller or more structured bags where hooping might otherwise be difficult​
