Denim Quick Guide NEEDLE

A size 11 or 75/11 sharp sewing or embroidery needle is a great choice when embroidering on denim.

STABILIZER One piece of medium-weight (2.5 ounce) cutaway stabilizer is the best choice for denim. Tear-away and water-soluble stabilizers are not recommended.

DESIGN CHOICE For best results, choose designs with medium to high complexity. Light designs, such as redwork, may get lost in a dark-colored denim.
