Shopping bag with loving birds embroidery design

How to embroider an ordinary shopping bag.

In this photo, you can see a beautiful example. A big shopping bag was transformed into an original item – quite easily. It only takes 30 to 60 minutes. You won't be ashamed to give a bag like that as a present to a friend or acquaintance. Many things do not have much monetary value but are valued for their originality. A bag like that cannot be bought in the shop. It can only be handmade. Why should you waste time and effort on such a simple matter? For beginners, a big shopping bag made out of a dense fabric is a wonderful opportunity for practicing. Too often beginners are afraid to ruin a new item (a T-shirt, a pillow or a tablecloth). They embroider some cast-off pieces of fabric or old clothes. But what to do with them after the embroidery has been completed? They just lie around unwanted and unused. As an alternative, you can embroider a useful, but not too valuable an item – a bag, for instance. In case you go wrong you can remove the embroidery or just use the bag as it is. Nobody will see it anyway. If the embroidery will come out beautifully, the item will get another, and much more colorful, life. Given that it is made of the dense fabric, you can choose a big and dense design with a lot of effects. A bag can be easily hooped without disassembling. It is one more point in favor of choosing the bag as an object for machine embroidery.

Where to find a new original design for bag decoration.

Our shop regularly manufactures a large number of new original embroidery designs. There you will find simple one or two-color designs and complex esoteric compositions, ancient cultures, and portraits of women. All those designs come a long way, from discussing the thread colors and composition to their final look. The resulting design file will naturally be tested on the machine. Why is this important? We need to see if there are problems with the design, to figure its actual density and its outer look (no software will give you a full picture). These are essential steps, invisible to the customers but crucial for their impression from the design. The one they will get after they embroider their chosen items.

Problems with design creation.

Naturally, you cannot foresee all the ways one can use a machine embroidery file. You also cannot predict what kind of fabric will be chosen for a design: silk, thin and capricious, or felt, dense and distortion-resistant. Also, at which speed the design will be embroidered (for speed effects the quality, too), 200-400 or 600–1200 SPM. What kind of stabilizer will be used? Does the embroiderer know what the stabilizer weight is? And how many layers of stabilizer should be used in every case? Does the embroiderer understand the necessity of using a water-soluble stabilizer with piled fabrics (terry-cloth towels, fleece)? Embroidery machine adjustment is pretty important, too. All of this influences the quality of the embroidery, in one way or another. Therefore such simple items give you a wide margin for experimenting and obtaining the desired experience.
