Shirt Cuff
Shirt Cuffs come in all sizes and can be a challenge to embroider on a home embroidery machine. Cuffs
cannot be hooped so hoop an adhesive stabilizer and adhere the cuff in place. A Basting stitch will also
help to keep it from shifting or popping off during embroidery. A hoop grid will help with alignment of
the cuff on the stabilizer.

Silk
Silk comes in all weights and thickness but also varies in many ways. Check the characteristics of the silk
fabric before embroidering. For silks that are "dry clean only" use a thread that can be dry cleaned as
well and do not use a water soluble stabilizer. If the silk is a loose-weave type or extremely heavy, a
topping may be needed to keep the stitches from sinking into the fabric. For very lightweight silks
consider open-style embroidery with lower stitch counts and always test sew your design before
embroidering.
