Do not stop your choice on knitted things, they take the shape of the body, and the embroidery will pull them together. In addition, if you want to embroider a large pattern, give preference to a thing with a simple cut without a lot of darts or bends in the details.
Step 2
Choose the motif you want to embroider on your clothes. You can embroider a pattern in the form of a tape with a repeating pattern, such ornaments look good along the straight edge of the product, for example, along the hem or neckline of a shirt.

Find your embroidery thread. If you want to embroider on linen or cotton fabric, use a floss, and for woolen fabric, a special embroidery wool is more suitable.
Step 4
Iron out the part of the product where the work will be done.
Step 5
With a basting stitch on this part of the garment, secure a piece of the fabric to be removed of a suitable size.

In order to check yourself during work, lay additional basting seams corresponding to the center of future work.
