1: Wo mfiri nwene nhyɛso a ɛyɛ pɛpɛɛpɛ .

Sɛ wunya a ɛfata asaawa nhyɛso wɔ wo mfiri no so a, *The* number one priority. Sɛ ɛyɛ off a, worebisa puckering, plain na simple. Saa perfect stitch no nnyɛ gonna happen a enni balance a ɛfata. Momma yɛnkɔ so ankasa —sɛ wo nhyɛso no yɛ den dodo a, wo ntama no bɛboaboa ano, na ɛbɛyɛ te sɛ asiane. Loose dodo, na woreyɛ sloppy stitches kɛkɛ.

Nea ɛho hia ne sɛ wobɛsiesie asaawa a ɛwɔ soro ne fam no yiye wɔ ɔkwan soronko so. Here’s the deal: Lower thread tension na ɛhwɛ sɛnea ade a wɔde twe ade no kɔ mu no mu dɔ, bere a nea ɛwɔ soro no nya ntama no ani so nkɛntɛnso. Sɛ wo ntama no reyɛ ayɛ mmerɛw a, ɛda adi sɛ esiane sɛ nhyɛso no mu yɛ den dodo, na ɛtwe nhama no dodo na ɛhyɛ ntama no ma ɛboaboa ano nti. Wopɛ sɛ wode si w’ani so sɛ **kari pɛ** nhyɛso a ɛma ɛyɛ mmerɛw, mpo wie.

Wobɛyɛ dɛn ahu sɛ 'sweet spot'? Fi ase denam sɔhwɛ mmirikatu a wobɛsɔ ahwɛ so. Siesie nhyɛso no kosi sɛ wubenya nhama a ɛho tew na ɛyɛ mmerɛw. Bere a wuhu sɛ ntama no afi ase reboaboa ano anaasɛ ɛresakra no, wubehu sɛ bere aso sɛ wode san frɛ no. Mfa wo ho nhyɛ mu kɛkɛ; Fa ntama a wɔayam no yiye susuw ho. Gye me di, eyi yɛ nea wontumi nsusuw ho.

Afei, ɛsɛ sɛ wote wo ntama type nso ase. Ɛsono sɛnea ntama ahorow yɛ wɔn ade wɔ nhyɛso ho. Sɛ nhwɛso no, ntama a emu yɛ hare te sɛ kotoku no hwehwɛ sɛ wɔde nhyɛso ba fam na amma ayɛ mmerɛw, bere a ntama a ɛyɛ den te sɛ ntama hia pii no. Ɛyɛ ne nyinaa sɛ wode wo nhyehyɛe no bɛtoto ntama a wode reyɛ adwuma no ho. **Don't** skip this step anaasɛ wobɛtua boɔ no ne messed-up designs.

Na ahintasɛm no ni: Sɔ hwɛ ansa na woapam ade a etwa to no. Me kasa sɔhwɛ ahorow pii wɔ scrap piece so. Wobɛkwati asiane bere a wunim sɛnea afiri no di wo ntama ne asaawa a wɔaka abom ho dwuma no pɛpɛɛpɛ no. Mintumi nsi eyi so dua sɛnea ɛsɛ. Obiara a ɔyɛ pro embroiderer a minim no yɛ eyi. Ɛsɛ sɛ wo nso.

2: Sɛ wopaw ade a ɛfata ne asaawa a ɛfata ma adwuma no .

Sɛ wususuw sɛ wubetumi apaw random needle biara ne thread biara kɛkɛ a, na woreyera anibere so. Needle ne thread a ɛfata a wobɛpaw no yɛ *agorudi a ɛsesa* koraa* wɔ nwene mu. Needle a ɛyɛ den dodo ma ntama no bɛgyaw ntokuru anaasɛ ɛbɛma ayɛ puckering. Ɛyɛ teateaa dodo, na wobɛyɛ mmerɛw, ayɛ basabasa. Needle ne thread combo a ɛteɛ ne **biribiara** —ɛma wo project no yɛ anaasɛ ɛbubu.

Fi ase de mfitiasede ahorow no fi ase: needle size. Wɔ ntama dodow no ara fam no, 75/11 anaa 80/12 needle yɛ gyinapɛn, nanso momma yɛnka nokware: ɛsɛ sɛ wunya nsɛm pɔtee kakra sen saa. Sɛ wopɛ ntama a ɛyɛ mmerɛw te sɛ sirikyi a, kɔ ne ade a ɛyɛ fɛ te sɛ 70/10. **Ntama a emu yɛ duru** Te sɛ denim hwehwɛ ade kɛse, ka sɛ 90/14 anaa mpo 100/16. Sɛ wunya needle no yiye a, wo stitch no su bɛyɛ anadwo ne awia. Ɛnyɛ nea yɛbɛka ne sɛ, wo mfiri no bɛkɔ so yiye.

Nanso ɛnnyina hɔ. Thread paw? Ɛno yɛ aboa foforo koraa. Sɛ woreyɛ adwuma wɔ ntama a emu yɛ hare mu a, paw **thin threads** te sɛ 40wt polyester. Wɔ denser, nneɛma a emu yɛ duru, kɔ soro 60wt nhama. **Cotton thread** wɔ suban soronko sɛ wode toto polyester ho a, enti hwɛ hu sɛ wobɛpaw nyansam. Polyester yɛ den, ɛko tia ayera, na ɛma saa hwɛbea a ɛho tew na ɛyɛ crisp no nya. Cotton's great for a more **natural**, matte finish, nanso ɛyɛ trickier kakra sɛ wobɛdi ho dwuma wɔ mfiri bi mu.

Ade titiriw foforo a ɛho hia: wo mfiri no. afiri a ɛwɔ ti biako? Ɔhaw nni hɔ. Nanso mfiri a ɛwɔ ti pii, te sɛ nea wubehu wɔ nhyehyɛe ahorow a wɔyɛ mu no, hwehwɛ sɛ wɔde nnade ne nhama pɔtee bi gu mu na ama wɔatumi ayɛ pɛ wɔ ti no nyinaa so. Mommma yɛnhyɛ aseɛ mpo wɔ nokwasɛm a ɛyɛ sɛ multi-thread tension systems hia kwan a wɔayɛ no yie ama ti biara na wɔakwati thread tangling anaasɛ ɛboro so.

Ɛnyɛ *nsɛm a woresusuw ho* nko ara —worefrɛ wo ma woayɛ pɛ. Gye me di, dodow a wunya ade a wɔde twe ade ne asaawa a wopaw no, dodow no ara na wo ti yɛ wo yaw kakraa bi a wobɛhwɛ wɔ nhama no so.

3: Stabilizer a ɛfata a wɔde di dwuma na wɔakwati puckering .

Momma yɛnka no pefee: stabilizers yɛ wo **best friend** bere a ɛfa mfiri nwene ho no. Sɛ worehuruw anammɔn yi anaasɛ wode ɔkwan a ɛnteɛ redi dwuma a, ne titiriw no, worebisa ɔhaw. Stabilizers di ntama a wɔde keka ne ho so, esiw ntrɛwmu ano, na eyi puckering a ɛyɛ hu no fi hɔ. Nneɛma a ɛma ɛyɛ den a ɛfata? Ɛbɛma wo mfonini ahorow no ayɛ crisp, ɛho atew, na ɛyɛ pɛpɛɛpɛ.

Nea edi kan no, ɛsɛ sɛ wote ntama a wode reyɛ adwuma no ase. Ntama a emu yɛ hare, te sɛ sirikyi anaa jersey, hwehwɛ **lighter stabilizers**, te sɛ nusuo a ɛwɔ hɔ anaa ahohoro mu a wobetumi apaw. Ntama a emu yɛ duru, te sɛ denim anaa canvas, hia **stronger stabilizers** (a wɔatwa anaasɛ ɛbɛbɔ) a ɛrenkyinkyim anaasɛ ɛrenboaboa ntama no ano wɔ nhyɛso ase. Ɔkwan a ɛyɛ biako a ɛyɛ nea ɛfata nyinaa? Ɛno yɛ anansesɛm. Ntama ahorow = stabilizer ahorow. Berɛ.

Sɛ nhwɛso no, nneɛma a wɔde gyina hɔ a wɔatwa no yiye no yɛ kɛse ma nneɛma a ɛtrɛw. Wɔmma ntama no nsakra anaasɛ ɛntrɛw mfi ne nsusuwii mu bere a wɔrepam no no. Ɔkwan foforo so no, tear-away stabilizers yɛ mframa a ɛsɛ sɛ wode di dwuma na ɛyɛ pɛpɛɛpɛ ma nsusuwii ahorow a ɛwɔ ntama a ɛyɛ den so a wunhia mmoa a emu yɛ duru. Afiri no ne sɛ wubehu bere a ɛsɛ sɛ wode emu biara di dwuma. Sɛ wode tear-away redi dwuma wɔ ntama a ehia mmoa foforo so a, hwɛ kwan sɛ **puckering** bi bɛba. **Ain't obiara nnya bere mma saa**.

Here’s a hot tip for **Multi-head machines**: Ɛbɛhia sɛ wode stabilizer layers bɛhyia ama ti biara na woakwati nsakraeɛ biara a ɛwɔ wɔn ntam. Ɛsɛ sɛ stabilizer no yɛ kɛse koro wɔ ti nyinaa so na ama adwini no akɔ so ayɛ pɛpɛɛpɛ. Slip-up baako na wobɛnya asiane a ɛne ne ho nhyia. Ne nyinaa fa uniformity ho wɔ ti ahorow pii so, nnipa.

Sɛ wo nnim stabilizer a wode bedi dwuma a, ɛyɛ bere a ɛsɛ sɛ wosɔ hwɛ. Sɔhwɛ wɔ scrap fabric a ɛwɔ stabilizers pii so na hwɛ nea ɛma wo nea eye sen biara. Wobɛhunu sɛ **less yɛ kɛseɛ** —wonhia stabilizer dodoɔ a ɛboro so na ama woanya awieɛ a ɛyɛ pɛpɛɛpɛ. Nanso nsɛe no koraa da. Fa wo ho to me so, wobɛnu wo ho.

Na kae sɛ, stabilizer a ɛfata a wobɛpaw no yɛ ahintasɛm a ɛwɔ **bere tenten** no fã. Quality stabilizers bɔ wo stitches ho ban na ɛhwɛ hu sɛ ɛtra hɔ kyɛ bere a wɔayɛ nwene no awie no. Wɔn a wɔpɛ sɛ wɔde wɔn ho hyɛ stabilizers mu kɔ akyiri no, hwɛ nea adwumayɛfo ka wɔ ho . Sinofu akwankyerɛfo a ɔyɛ ɔbenfo . Ɛyɛ apam ankasa.

Woanya wo stabilizer game no wɔ point so? Anaasɛ woda so ara resusuw ho? Ma menhu wɔ nsɛm no mu! Ka wo suahu ahorow ho asɛm, na ma yɛnkɔ so nnya nkɔmmɔbɔ. Mma wo werɛ mmfi sɛ wobɛbɔ Share sɛ wuhu sɛ eyi boa a!
