Bridles and Leashes

[Gingerboys Embroidery]

I am new to this forum and have been watching for a while. It's great to see the level of interaction.

I am getting an order to place names on Bridles and Leads from a local horse stable. Anyone have any ideas how to hoop these for an XT?

I also need help on dog collars. I have the karate/collar hoop but my first (and only) attempt at embroidering a collar was awful. What kind (fabric) of collar should I be buying, and where can I get them? I expect a learning curve but would love to be successful.

Thanks, Barb in Broomfield, CO

I've used regular hoops - usually do not hoop the collars. (When I do hoop the collars with a regular hoop, I usually get alignment problems.) Using tearaway backing or Floriana Wet N Stick, very carefully tape with masking tape the collar to the backing. (To help with alignment, a rectangular "design" is created the height of the collar and sewn on the backing before taping.) Also tape the collar to the inside edge of the hoop and the wings of the hoop so there is no flopping metal. I have also used adhesive backing with and without the 7n1 frame but really dislike this because 1) it gums up the machine 2) it's horrible to pick off the back of the collar.

Types of collar/dog leashes - White Pine (my favorite for long haired dogs & durability), or any type of typically woven collars.

Slow the machine down to 600-800 spm

Don't know a thing about bridles...

Hi There! I'm new to the Forum (which is awesome) and to embroidery. I found your suggestions very helpful!! Where do you order your collars and other pet accessories? And what kind of pet accessories have you embroidered?

Cant help with the collar information but can tell you that there are a couple of great videos on doing collars/karate belts at www.embroiderytipsandmore.com Joyce has been a life saver if I don't know how to do something she seems to have a how to video on what I need...Worth the dollars in my opinion...You can also find a link under marketplace on this forum as well..

Good Luck!

With our software, it is possible to easily create a template so we can place the item down in just the rigth place. So, What is a template? A template is simply an outline (you enter the distance from the design) of your design. You can sew this out on the stabilizer so you know exactly where the design will sew out. It is exactly like the first color in an applique design. You find Template under Tools.
