DESIGN FOR WHITE FABRIC

What is the Delft Blue Hen Small Machine Embroidery Design best used for?

Q: Where can this charming design be embroidered?
A: The Delft Blue Hen Small Machine Embroidery Design fits perfectly on kitchen towels, aprons, napkins, or rustic decor. Its compact size makes it ideal for 4x4 hoops, adding a classic Dutch country feel to any project.

Why does the needle break during embroidery and how to prevent it?

Q: What causes needle breakage while stitching?
A: Breakage often results from thick or unstable fabric, using the wrong needle size, or lack of proper stabilizer. Use a size 75/11 or 80/12 embroidery needle and slow the machine speed for dense designs.

Recommended Stabilizer Weight

For kitchen towels (~150 g/m²), use a tear-away stabilizer of about 60–80 g/m².

Formula:
Stabilizer = (Design density × 1.2) – Fabric weight
Example: (120 × 1.2) – 150 = approx. -6 → use stabilizer ~70 g/m² for support.
