Embroidery and Denim

Embroider on Denim with Success

By Eileen Roche, Published December 2006

Have you noticed how department stores are filled with embroidered jeans, skirts and jackets? You can duplicate this look at a fraction of the cost with your embroidery machine.

It all starts with the right pair of jeans. It’s imperative to concentrate on fit when selecting your denim blank. Splurge on a pair of designer jeans, and you’ll feel like a million bucks! It’s hard to describe the feeling that pulling on perfect-fitting jeans can bring. As we age, it’s all about fit. Often, a little stretch with fullness over the upper thigh and derriere and a contoured waistband is perfect for mature needs. The low rise jean may help fit petite figures with its short crotch length. You may need other features, so prepare yourself for a day of auditioning jeans at the local mall. Once you find the brand that works for you, you’re set.
