The first thing that you will want to be sure of is that your sewing machine can create the zig zag seam. This stitch is necessary to create the machine embroidery designs you choose to use. You will also need to purchase an embroidery hoop, which can often be purchased from the same place you bought the embroidery designs.

Many times, you can even get them discounted online with other supplies for embroidery and stitching. The types of fabrics you choose to embroider are not limited when using a sewing machine for your machine embroidery designs. Any fabrics that will fit in the embroidery hoop well can be used with your embroidered designs.
