Hey there!
If you’re just starting your journey in machine embroidery—or thinking about it—this article is for you. I’ve seen many passionate women get stuck because of these common mistakes. Let’s make sure that’s not you!
1. Buying a Machine Without a Clear Goal
One of the biggest mistakes! Many buy an embroidery machine just because they saw it in a video or heard it’s good. But every machine has a purpose. Are you buying it for personal use? Business? Fashion? Choose wisely.
2. Relying Only on Free Designs
Yes, free patterns are helpful… at first. But if you only follow what’s out there, you’ll never develop your unique style or create a personal brand. You need to learn how to build your own signature designs.
3. Ignoring the Technical Details
Things like thread type, tension, stabilizers, fabric, and machine settings make a huge difference! Your machine won’t do magic on its own—you have to understand how to control it.
4. Working Without a Plan
Experimenting is good, but random work without a strategy will leave you frustrated. You need a clear learning path and a plan to grow and succeed.
5. Learning From Random YouTube Videos
YouTube is full of information, but it’s often scattered and confusing. One video says one thing, another says the opposite. This causes more stress than progress. A focused course with expert guidance saves you time and gives you confidence.
🔍 Have you fallen into one of these mistakes?
That’s okay—we all start somewhere. The important thing is to choose the right path now.
That’s exactly why I created my in-person embroidery workshop in Bab Ezzouar, Algiers — a complete, hands-on course designed to give you real results.
