I feel almost mean snarking about this but I’m in an embroidery group for people who stitch on clothes.
A lot of the members do that basic bitch chain stitch on a sweater or flowers on a Carhartt cap and can charge up to 80 American dollars (????) for this. The group is overrun with posts recommending which cheap Amazon sweaters to buy.
I, on the other hand, as starting a sustainable embroidery kit business but I don’t discuss it in the group. I prefer to give beginners stitching tips and advice and I like to see what others are working on.
Anyway, someone just posted that they saw incredibly cheap versions of these sweaters on Temu. I mean, yes???? What did you expect to happen??? Maybe do something original and actually interesting and you won’t get ripped off so easily. Don’t build your business’s foundations on sand.

Not impossible in the least, I’ve machine embroidered chunky knit items like that many times (I’ve even embroidered on crocheted blankets). But regardless hand embroidery is a completely different look to machine so to try to replicate the style on a machine isn’t really fully possible since embroidery machines use a much finer thread and the stitches are formed in a very different manner due to there being both a top and bottom thread.
