Professional Machine Embroidery Tips

1. How to Enhance the Gold Shine

Lightly steam-press the fabric before embroidery — satin stitches lay smoother and shine more.

2. Secret of Sharp Cross Edges

Use temporary spray adhesive for stabilizer — it reduces micro-movements and prevents blurred outlines.

3. Premium Embroidery Effect

Set your machine speed to no more than 650–700 stitches per minute — gold threads fray less and retain shine.

4. Preventing Creases in Dense Areas

Pause briefly after each large stitch block — the fabric releases tension and stitches settle evenly.

5. Perfect Results on Dark Fabrics

Add a thin water-soluble topping — it prevents satin stitches from sinking into the fabric.

6. Extending Metallic Thread Life

Slightly loosen upper tension (by 5–10%) — this reduces thread abrasion at the needle eye.
