Aug 10, 2014 at 23:23 comment added NotNow I am thinking in constructing curves $C$ with a given Hilbert polynomial by adding embedded points to another curve $\tilde{C}$. For example: Given a smooth plane cubic $\tilde{C}$ can I add an appropriate embedded point $l_P$ for obtaining a curve $C$ parametrized by the Hilbert scheme associated to $3t+1-d$ for any $d >0$? Can I add the point $l_p$ anywhere on $\tilde{C}$?
Aug 10, 2014 at 22:05 comment added Will Sawin $l_p$ is necessarily a singular point of $C$....
Aug 10, 2014 at 20:12 comment added Karl Schwede Can you say some more information about how $C$ is given to you? Is it presented to you via a certain number of relations? Is it the image of something? Of course as Cantlog was saying, the embedded points are singular points of $C$ but I'm not sure how to say much more than that with the information given.

Aug 10, 2014 at 19:03 comment added abx Your statement is not true, take $C\subset \mathbb{P}^2$ defined by $x^2=xy=0$. This gives the line $x=0$ with an embedded point at the origin.
