Stitches

How can I machine sew or hand sew this type of design into clothing?

http://www.epworldwide.com/sf_j_01.jpg I have a singer sewing machine and I was wonder what steps to take to sew a this type of design into my clothing. I don't want the same design but i do want the single stitched line and I don't know the steps to do it. Also, would it be easier just to hand sew it? The design I want is a name.

1. I don't really get your question but if you want that design you are going to need an a embroidery machine.
2. It's quilted. There are three layers of fabric... the outside, the backing and a fluffy material inside. Stitching the three layers together gives the 3-D effect -- you use just a straight stitch on the sewing machine, or you can quilt it by hand. The thicker the batting (the "fluff"), the more of a 3-D effect you get... but thinner batting is easier to hand quilt. See: http://quiltbug.com/machine-quilt.htm http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1513631313378451452 for some beginning machine quilting. And yes, it's easier to hand sew a quilt sandwich and get it looking good when you're a beginner. If you want to machine quilt it, practice before doing your "good" project. Another approach you might consider is surface embroidery -- no backing or batting. Just use running stitch or double running stitch to outline the name.
