That is so cute!! I have that design and never thought of just puttting it on a onesie!:rolleyes:

I don't like doing onesie's, but that design is darling.

Are onesies that difficult? I was thinking about doing some, I have two sisters each due about a week apart. Any suggestions would be welcome, yours looks so nice

[tflosses4u]

Sweet and simple! All the onsies that i've ever done have been quite a challenge..all worth it when the mom to be receives it..I somehow ruined a couple so make sure to have an extra one on hand..

i found (after "practicing" on a couple) that hooping the stabilizer and then using the spray adhesive and pinning the onesie worked. i really had to watch it and sometimes hold the extra fabric away (carefully).. if i do some again, i will chose a larger size onesie - this one is a 0-3 month size..

That onesie is just too cute. You're totally right. That's the ONLY way to do a onesie. You don't hoop it but hoop the stabilizer only and stick that by spray and I even use the "fix" on my Designer 1 so it does a basting stitch around the entire design area so it's stable and won't move.

I'm laughing at your comment about the larger size next time. http://terpstra.us/images/vickiljt/Gifs/lol2.gif We just had our first grandchild and I was doing a test stitch for another digitizer and I decided I'd do her test stitchout on a onesie I'd bought to put something on. It turned out great since I'd read so many hints on how to embroider on them but I haven't bought any more newborn onesies. Nope, our granddaughter can sport very cute "grandma" made onesies when she's into the 9 month and up sizing. I already bought some 12 month sizes to use for that but she's still so small I just have them in the closet waiting.

yeah hooping the stab. only is about the only way I go with most things,

I just did a sweatshirt for my little nephew who is one and I had to watch it the whole time.

Just curious, did you put anything on the back of the design? You know to keep it from being scratchy? I have something, not sure what it is, but it dosen't work very well and comes off easily. I wish I could find the stuff that is used on retail clothes. It seems to stay put much better!!

That design is just perfect for a baby.

So cute! Onsies are so hard to do, but yours looks great!

i used poly mesh stabilizer.. it is a softer material.. but i didn't add anything add'l to the back..

[blessedw2]

Thanks, I sometimes feel like I should cover the back of it to make it even softer!

[jojo5]

This is darling. Something I have never tried, but now I see I need to.

[dana]

Really cute, and simple. I love it.

I just want to buy all the designs! ....ok, I think I have collected my senses, and will buy Most of the designs...:hello:

[crumbear]

How cute! I love that design, and it looks great on the onesie. You did a great job!

[just_teachin]

Adorable! I love that zoo set!!

I have a love-hate relationship with doing onesies! I love the parents' reactions, but, oh, what a pain to hoop and stitch sometimes! :p

[nanamcd]

Another helpful hint when embroidering onesies is to turn them inside out so the flat of the front lies on the stabilizer in the hoop. Spray/pin/baste, then pin the excess garment out of the way and you're good to go. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who rarely hoops anything more than the stabilizer!

Doesn't the onesie pucker with the weight of the design on it? I've never done one before.

I think that as long as you buy a nice quality onesie and not the type that are super thin, you'll be fine. That one she used looks like one of those super thick ones they sell during the colder months. I just did one for my granddaughter for Christmas that was super thick with embossed heart shapes in it making it super stable to put just about any design on there without a problem.

I always turn the onesie inside out and stick it on sticky washaway stabilizer and float soft cutaway underneath that. Sometimes I use a topper and sometimes I don't. I have read that it is good to iron on a soft stabilizer after stitching so that will be next to baby's skin. I am interested in seeing how others do onesies.

I guess I'm lucky to have a commercial machine (or just insane trying to work this business and make profit!) but onesies are a fun part of my business. I use an oblong hoop I found at Gorilla hoops and hoop and run these easily. But the most important thing to do for an infant is to cover that embroidery on the back next to their soft skin. I trim away all excess thread and stabilizer and then I apply a iron-on tricot over all of that, leaving ample edges to adhere good to the onesie. There are no rough edges when doing this and it's silky smoothe to lay against that newborn skin.
I agree that this design is cute as can be for any baby. I know most think it's for boys but I did a alphabet jungle design on the crib wall of my second child's nursery (remember when you didn't get the sonograms way way back when???) and that girl turned out to be one lively-acting individual!

I love the design you used on the onsie. I have only done about 2 or 3, but they were one of the first projects that I made. I really had a time, but it was worth it when I finished.
