Re: embroidering on Gi Belts
The owner of the belt requested the embroidery. Before, he had hand sewn pieces of a white shoelaces around the belt. What I ended up doing was just embroidering to the very edge of the belt. The needle would move off the belt on the first stitch and set off the thread break alarm. The thread was not actually broken, I just hit the reset, and kept on sewing. It worked just fine. Once the frame of the stripe was sewn, the machine could embroider all the way to the edge with no problem. It would also stretch out the belt enough that the next stripe didn't have that problem. I had to do this for nine stripes. He loved it. The thing is, he wanted each of the nine stripes to be equal in size and distance as well as the red material underneath. So that it looked like both the red and white stripes were equal.
