Pattern translation from denim
Designing the fabric is one of the primary disadvantages of sewing denim. The fabric is too thick to trace, and the marks are often too black to see. Many strategies are useful in this situation. A technique of white or yellow carbon transfer paper It works, but the lines are often smeared or blurred. Another is using tracing paper, which will work but can be challenging because the paper can crumble as it is used. Although denim is thick and durable, it still needs to be properly stabilized during embroidery to avoid puckering. McTee recommends using a non-sticky, wash-away, lightweight stabilizer. This will strengthen your stitches a bit and will come out easily by soaking the garment in a bowl of water. When you’re ready to sew, trace the design onto the stabilizer with a transfer marker or chalk pen trim to leave a ⅛”-¼” allowance around the design, then hand baste the stabilizer to the denim with sewing thread.
Choosing a needle and Thread
Denim is a strong and thick fabric, so you should select a strong and thick needle. Chenille needles in sizes 18 to 22 are good because they are both sharp and strong. The specific size you use should be a good fit for the thread you are using. Most embroidery threads will work on denim, but it’s best to choose those that are both durable and washable. If you find that the thread is looking more worn than usual, use shorter lengths of thread and coat them with thread conditioner.
Denim stitch
Denim stitch embroidery can be done without a hoop, but it’s important to hold the fabric properly to avoid hand cramps and damage. Working at different angles and with open hands is necessary for a comfortable stitch. Denim is a popular pattern for embroidery, and you can combine floral designs, modern geometric patterns, or fill stitching for a unique look. Borders can be added around the front pocket or bottom hem of pants or dresses for a simpler look.

Place embroidery designs on jeans, jackets, and shirts, using symmetrical stitching beneath the front pocket. Denim jackets and shirts offer unlimited positioning options, with larger patterns on the back or smaller ones on the collar or button placket.
