How to Prevent Machine Embroidery Puckering

March 31, 2022 by Claudia Porter Leave a Comment

We have all been there at one time or another.  We think we are doing a great job on our machine embroidery project and then notice it…puckering.  It is no fun at all.  This article from The Deer’s Embroidery Legacy has tips on how to avoid the dreaded puckering.

From why it occurs, to fabrics to avoid, to loads of other tips, you will find it all in this comprehensive article.

I highly suggest reading this before you start your next machine embroidery project.  It may save you a lot of grief.

If you have ever run into this problem, or you want to stop it from happening, then check out this article.  You can find it here: How to Prevent and Stop Puckering in Machine Embroidery
