Embroidery for babywear
Madeira UK’s creative and technical manager, Jayne Barlow, outlines what’s best when it comes to embroidering babywear.
D
ecorative embroidery on babywear is becoming a top seller among many baby clothing brands today, whether this is on baby grows, blankets, hoodies, T shirts, or jackets etc.
However, no matter how enticing the embroidery looks or appeals to the buyer, the baby who wears the embellished clothing could fi nd the embroidery somewhat irritating and scratchy. This is caused by too many thread trims, unnecessary solid layers of stitches, scratchy threads and rough backings.
The easy option to solve this problem is to use a soft covering on the reverse of the embroidery, such as Madeira’s Comfort-wear, a lightweight fusible fabric which is either ironed or heat pressed on the back of the embroidery. This soft covering over the thread tie offs, trims and scratchy stitches will stop rough areas of the embroidery from rubbing against baby skin. It acts as a camoufl age and leaves a smooth surface.
There are many alternatives to prevent scratchy embroidery for babywear. Firstly, inform your digitiser to keep the embroidery stitch density light, the back of the embroidery should be clean and smooth. Avoid solid stitching with numerous layers. Use less trims and tie offs by linking stitched areas with hidden or disguised running stitches. Softer threads are required for babywear. The softest is Classic, which is viscose rayon, made from wood pulp. The threads are soft, skin friendly and pleasant to touch. If you prefer to use polyester, Frosted Matt is another great thread option with a stunning matt effect fi nish and a smooth, soft feel. If you are looking to use metallic thread,

Frosted Matt is a great thread option for embroidering babywear
with its sparkling and shining appearance, be aware this thread could irritate the baby’s skin. To combat this, traditionally, many digitisers combine metallics with a softer thread by adjusting and widening the stitch density.
All embroidery threads for babywear have to be pollutant and toxic free with REACH compliance and Standard 100 by Oeko-Tex product class 1, only use threads with these certifi cations.
Appliqué is also very popular for babywear embroidery. Using different fabrics to fi ll in parts of a design fi nished with a satin stitch, will not only add impact to your designs but this technique will also limit the number of stitches and thread trims on the back of the embroidery.
