Embroidery Software:
I use and love Embrilliance Essentials embroidery software and is a great program to use embroidery fonts and designs that you purchase online. With this program I am able to install .BX fonts and use my keyboard to type out names or initials. it is much easier than importing in each letter one at a time! Also with this program, I am able to open embroidery designs that I have purchased online and add a name or monogram to it.
I have a new course that covers everything you need to know to be able to use Embrilliance Essentials confidently. I will be opening enrollment again soon and will have the course for sale on SMP.

Step by Step Tutorials:
Here is a list of some of my past tutorials showing you step by step on how to embroider certain baby items on different machine.
- How to Embroider a Onesie on a Flatbed Machine (PE770)
- How to Embroider a Bib
- How to use the 5×12 Re-positionable Hoop on PE770/ PE800 to Embroider a Baby Quilt
- How to Embroider a Onesie on a Brother PR680W
- How to Embroider a Onesie on a Brother Skitch
- How to Embroider a Baby Blanket on a Flatbed Machine (PE770/ PE800)
Other Supplies I Recommend:
For any clothing that I embroider, I cover up the back of the embroidery with Fuse So Soft to protect skin irritation from the threads rubbing on the skin.
If you have a machine like my Brother PR1X or Brother PR680W that has a free arm, Durkee EZ Frames making hooping and embroidering baby items sooooo much easier!
The stabilizer I recommend for onesies and baby clothing is a Fusible No Show cut away and I usually combing it with Tear Away.
For Bibs, Burp Cloths, Blankets, Bags, and Towels, I use Tear Away stabilizer.
