To embroider a jean jacket, first smooth the stabilizer on the inside of the garment and the back of the area to be embroidered. Hoop the fabric and stabilizer together, lining up the marks on the garment with the marks on the hoop. The 1/8″ seams can be hooped over with ease. Attach the hoop to the machine and load the design.
To hoop a jean jacket, gather essential supplies for embroidery, including the right embroidery design, ideal spot on the jacket, stabilizing the denim fabric, and essential supplies for your project. Use a sewn muslin as a template to help line up the hoop on the jean jacket and properly position each piece of the design.
The possibilities for machine embroidery on denim are endless, and you can embroider on existing denim clothing like skirts, shirts, jackets, and jeans or purchase denim fabric. While seams on denim jackets may make it more difficult to hoop, they make lining up the design easier.
