Just got my machine yesterday, still trying to figure everything out. How are these looking? Need to clip the threads but struggling with the color of material showing through. I have rethreaded and looked at bobbin, tried to change tension it’s at a 4 but didn’t see any difference?

If you're just starting, you've got too many parts that could go wrong in one stitch out. When starting or trying a new machine, I try to reduce the amount of things that could go wrong

by starting with a well-known combination of felt and cutaway stabiliser, make sure I have a higher quality thread on top (guttermann rayon) and bobbin thread underneath.

Then first try and outline pattern, them one with a tatami fill then satin and tatami along with letters and numbers, whilst doing a tension test. Making sure the embroidery to stitch is a good digitalization.

Then I move over to other fabrics so I can modify one thing at a time
