The outlines make it go from looking like an axe to looking like a cartoon axe

I feel like it looked better a minute in and just got worse after that

Way too heavy on the already unnecessary outline.

u/wild_cherry1987 5h ago

wrong color. needed more like dark brown , not black outline.

Reminded me of the Bob Ross stream on twitch. Every time he made a big change like adding a tree in the middle of the painting, twitch chat would spam RUINED!! Then eventually the tree would look like a great addition and chat would spam SAVED.

I saw the RUINED chat in my mind watching this. There was no SAVED :(

Agreed. Progressively less satisfying.

The bottom of the ax outline is uneven and really made this unsatisfying

u/wild_cherry1987 5h ago

the machine it's used here is not embroidery machine. it's a simple sewing machine that has embroidery funtion. embroidery machine is automatic and you don't have to do anything just change thread color. It's much much harder to work with such a machine like shown here..

That's because they usually use cheap synthetic thread, makes it stiff and scratchy. If they use nice cotton or silk it's fine but the only time you see that anymore is on luxury items. Even then most luxury stuff uses the cheap thread. I have an old scarf from before the depression that has beautiful embroidery that is softer than most fabric. So much of the fabric industry is worse quality than it was 100 years ago

8

u/wild_cherry1987 5h ago

polyester thread is very silky. what's scratching is mostly not right stabilizer (backing). You can't embroider without stabilizer.

5

u/Rapunzel10 4h ago

You can't embroider without stabilizer.

Well that's not true. I do it all the time. The scarf I have doesn't have any backing, that's part of why it's so soft. It's not the correct choice for every fabric but it can be done

But you are right that the right stabilizer will offer support without being so scratchy. The cheaper backing is certainly part of the issue

u/wild_cherry1987 4h ago

Depends how many stitches youre putting there. If it's not concentrated ornament it's possible. 

But scarf has other problems - stitches sinking in, then you need dissolving in water stabilisers ON top of the scarf to keep stitches afloat, same as embroidery on towels.

u/Rapunzel10 3h ago edited 3h ago

Wow thank you for the completely uninformed and rude comment. You have no idea what kind of embroidery I do, what material it's on, or what my finished products look like.

Not every project needs a stabilizer. Some projects do. Some work with a dissolvable stabilizer. Weirdly enough embroidery has a huge range and there is never a one-size-fits-all solution

u/treshort 5h ago

My dad used to have an embroidery/screen printing business. I always loved watching his gigantic machine just go to work.

Unfortunately he got too sick and couldn’t keep up anymore, so he eventually got rid of it. But I have some really good memories just sitting next to him for hours watching him work.

u/Infamous-Conflict-1 5h ago

The lines were uneven and it looked better before the black outlines. This made me feel more anxious than satisfied.

I like the part where it finishes and IMEDIATLY starts over. I didn’t want to see the finished product.

Am I missing the cuts (I think I see one when they changed from red to silver) when they changed thread color?

I never find these satisfying, yet I keep watching hoping maybe this is the one.

Hmmmm I was going to say "tiny axe? you mean a hatchet?" but then the blade was red. If the blade is red, it's an axe obviously.

How does it switch thread color so seamlessly

u/Kind_Ordinary9573 5h ago

This was my question. When I’m sewing, it’s at least a 3-minute process.

Ai or a super cut?

u/Actual_Mission333 4h ago

Does anyone know the exact machine model please 🥺🙏🏾

1

u/510Goodhands 3h ago

No but just look up manual embroidery machine.

For those who don’t know, there are two petals under the machine. When is for speed, and then there’s a knee control for the width of the stitch. As how they can make the stitching change from narrow to wide as they are sewing, and the operator is using two hands to control the embroidery hoop.

Pulls out the black thread and shits all over their good work.
Definitely a case here where less is more.

u/stikky 33m ago

I never thought much of it before but I can see why people might enjoy embroidery. With a machine, putting your designs on clothes could be quite fun.

u/Gupperz 6h ago

Did people do this my hand before the machine?

9

u/Sakarilila 6h ago

Some still do

4

u/Salty-Emotion3454 5h ago

Yes and no.

The thread in the machine is sewing thread, it's very thin and doesn't give a lot of coverage. Most people doing it by hand use embroidery floss/thread, so it doesn't take nearly as many stitches. If you do it by hand you also have the option to use different stitches for texture and other effects. The handle on the axe for example, might have used those same stitches, but along the grain of the wood, and had the stitches be different lengths so it would blend better and not create as obvious of a seam.

Some people use sewing thread to embroider. More power to them, but I could never have that patience.

u/Obh__ 4h ago

Love how all the comments agree that it looked better before the outline

u/TwistedMemories 4h ago

There’s still a white speck in the red near the top of the axe. That would drive my OCD and ADHD crazy.

I read a book as a kid where the FeMC was really good at embroidery so she just embroidered everything and she very consistently made strange choices i .e. embroidering wicker baskets on the hem of her skirts. This is her now.

How does this machine switch colors that fast? Is it some complex system, does it have multiple needles one for each color or am i just missing the cuts in the video where they swap colors?

Really impressive they used hand but automated machines are fairly cheap these days, especially if you can pick up a decent shape Tajima.

Watching an automated machine doing it is satisfying, I found the free hand not as much given it was inconsistent in places.

The thread tails just disappear. The video doesn't look like it's cut up. You would see the person cutting a thread tail or you would see the tails left at the end.
