Your uniform is bound to tear over time as long as you keep using it. However, not all tears require you to replace the attire. Some require a simple fix like embroidery. The other issue that uniform embroidery can address is staining. Provided that you know a thing or two about using the embroidery machine or hand embroidery, you can fix the mess. The funny thing is that the fix will look more like a unique design than a repair. Here are 5 tricks to use:
1. Freestyle Embroidery Around Simple Holes
A hole in your outfit doesn’t have to worry you that much. Instead, transform the tear into something unique and beautiful by mending it with uniform embroidery. There’s always freedom when it comes to stitching around simple holes. You can place flower patterns or any other decorative prints that you like on the holes. The idea is to turn the problem into an artistically pleasing design. Additionally, if they are two or three holes, you can vary the embroidery pattern to achieve more unique results.
2. Bright Patches for Extensive Stains
You can cover deep and extensive stains on your uniform using a bright patch design for a star or the sun. Not only will such a patch cover the stain but will also give your uniform a unique logo. You’ll need to get a sizeable patch that covers the entire stain.
3. Embroidered Wool for Moth Holes
Moth holes can really mess up the appearance of your uniform. Unless you fix them early, the damage is bound to extend fast. The advantage of embroidery is that you can convert the holes into a fashionable design. You’ll need to make embroidered wool and fix it on the hole.
4. Stitch Embroidered Appliques in a Zigzag Manner
There is something special about zigzag stitches. They can fix any mess on any part of the cloth without looking out of place. In this case, you’ll need to first place the appliques on the tear or hole before you stitch them in a zigzag manner around the edges.
5. Beaded Embroidery for Minor Tears and Stains
Lastly, you can use colorful beads to cover simple but depressing tears as well as stains. You need to position the beads attractively before stitching them to create an attractive design.
With the above ideas, you can now grab your uniform embroidery needle and thread and go ahead to fix the mess on your attire. In the eyes of many, the mending will look like an exclusive design worth admiring. You’ll thus love the results.
