Go with something that requires the singular charm of this motif the most. How about that part of your wardrobe that stuck with the boring office workwear? A blazer or an office jacket could make perfect canvas for your work! Embroider elegant butterflies on lapels, pocket flaps or side fronts of the pieces and they’ll be instantly revived. If your office dress-code frowns upon such obvious decorations, “sneak” butterflies on the vents of the sleeves. Embroidering on sleeves isn’t difficult and with a quality pattern like this, you’ll enjoy every step of the process.

If you’re interested, then read on. Further you’ll find a step-by-step instruction on how to machine embroider on sleeves using machine embroidery design elegant butterflies. As there’re several methods of decorating sleeves with machine embroidery (embroidery per se, patches, appliqués etc.), we need to make it clear that we’ll be talking about the one which implies stitching of a design directly onto the fabric of the sleeves. In the instruction you’ll learn how to do it in a way, which is accessible even for complete embroidery novices. So, if you’re ready, let’s begin with making sure you have everything that the project requires.

– Jacket/blazer,

– Machine Embroidery Design Elegant Butterfly and its template. If you plan on embroidering several butterflies, make corresponding number of templates. Also, if your project includes mirrored images of the designs, mark the printed templates accordingly. This will help you avoid various mix-ups during both the hooping and the stitching.

– Medium weight cut-away stabilizer.

– Temporary spray adhesive (any good quality brand).

– Embroidery threads. For this particular project we suggest using rayon threads (and not polyester). Fabrics of office jackets (cotton, linen, wool) usually have matte sheen, so shiny polyester threads might look odd on such textiles. Rayon threads have a more “natural”, “organic” sheen, so they’ll match the fabrics better. Another choice for embroidering elegant butterfly patterns could be cotton threads. If you opt for the latter, make sure to check their compatibility as to the thickness of threads. Cotton threads tend to be thinner than rayon ones so make according adjustments with tension and speed of your machine. Now with the brands of the threads. Our choice is Madeira Classic, but you’re welcome to use any of your choice.

– Embroidery needles. Size – 75/11, type – sharp.

– Sewing threads (to sew back the lining and the seams of the sleeves). Color of the threads should match the “original” threads of the seams.

– Scissors or seam ripper, measuring tool, chalk or textile pen.

Got everything that you need? Ok, then, let’s start revamping your jacket.

1 – Positioning of Machine Embroidery Design Elegant Butterfly on the sleeve.

1.1 – Cut-out the templates roughly around the outlines of the butterfly.

1.2 – Place the cut-outs on the sleeves according to your liking. Remember that we’re embroidering on the fabric of the sleeves. This means that there should be no buttons or other obstacles for the needle during its work. If you layout overtakes the area where buttons are sewed, think of removing them before making the final placement decision.

1.3. – Trace the axis lines (given on the templates) onto the fabric. These marks will be useful during the process of hooping. If you’re working with a template of a “mirrored” design, mark the fabric accordingly. Also you need to know where the top of the design is (for proper hooping), so don’t forget to point it out too.

2 – Preparation of the sleeve for the hooping.

2.1 – Turn the sleeve inside-out.

2.2 – Cut the seams on the lining.

2.3 – Cut the seams of the sleeves.

NOTE: We strongly suggest you remove the lining before you proceed with the embroidery. Although it’s possible to embroidery through the lining, it’s highly inadvisable. In case of any misalignment between the two layers of fabric during the hooping, you’ll get such a severe fabric shifting that the entire project will be ruined. Besides, lining offers the neat coverage for the back of the embroidery, which is always a plus. That is why it’s worth keeping the lining intact by removing it before the work and reattaching it afterwards.

3 – Hooping.

As sleeves (the vent part) tend to have buttons, which might interfere with the bands of the hoop, we’ll be using floating technique.

3.1 – Hoop the stabilizer.

3.2 – Apply temporary spray adhesive onto the stabilizer.

3.3 – Smooth the fabric of the sleeve onto the stabilizer.

If the sleeve of your jacket is button-less, just hoop it together with the stabilizer. Don’t forget to use temporary spray adhesive too.

4 – Embroidery.

4.1 – Embroider as usual.

4.2 – After the embroidery is done, cut all the loose threads and the excess stabilizer.

5 – Re-assembly of the sleeve.

5.1 – Change the embroidery threads to the sewing ones and sew the seams of the lining and the sleeve back on.

Now, after all the work’s done, it’s time to marvel at the elegant fruit of your labor. Stylish makeover of clothes isn’t the only area of expertise of machine embroidery design elegant butterfly. In interior decoration such beautiful pattern can be used on accent pillows, table-top covers, and adornment of window treatments.
