Dear All, I would like to ask you whether you've embroidered on a tie. If so, would you please, please, please help me how? Thank you Klara from Hungary.
261 Hi Klara
Welcome to Cute. Sorry I cannot answer
your question but someone will be able to I
am sure
Happy sewing
8794 Klara, I haven't done this yet but
have been planning to do a custom tie for
my dear hubby for Christmas. Recently one
of his ties accidentally went through the
laundry so I had the opportunity to put it
back together. I learned they are very
basic and nothing to fear.
When I embroider the tie, first I will
open the stitching on the backside so I can
lay it flat. Mine are silk so I will use a
light to medium mesh stabilizer. I do not
want to hoop it so I plan to use the
lightweight tearaway sticky type in the
hoop. I normally use a water soluble topper
but on the silk I won't, instead
opting for a very light tearaway. Mark my
placement, stick it and stitch it. When I
am finished just hand stitch the backside
and I am done. That's the plan but if
there is a Cutie who has done this, I am
certain they will share with both of us
their experiences. Welcome to Cute and
Blessings!

Dear Cinderoak,
Thank you for the advice. I'll do
that. Luckily I have time to be
experienced, I need to finish them by the
graduation. :)
Thank you once again.

While I have not embroidered a tie I have dissasembled them. A tie is cut on the cross of the fabric and can come in up tp 9 pieces. These were the expensive ones
