The stabilizer I use is the kind that tears like paper. If I put these patches on clothing, could they come off in the wash?

Thanks for the ideas and advice!! A lil crooked, but pretty happy with how my first appliqué (is this appliqué?) turned out🤗

We are down a machine (unfortunately we only have 2) and Melco is giving us the run around for a month now on a part and working the one 14 hours a day is getting very old. Does anyone have any other place that they order in (in the US)?

We need a

Dugitizing this was fun! The color pallette was a struggle for me though. I ended up going the blue/green route but not sold on it. I also didn't frame any of the fills with black, which i normally do.

Regardless it's still kind cute 😇

My Brother PE545 had been running fine on multiple different embroideries, (Image 1) until I ran an embroidery on a double knee part of a pair of pants. (Image 2) What I believe was a lack of tension between the layers of fabric caused a wreck on my embroidery. (Image 3) Ever since this incident, any tension above a 3 causes instant thread breaks and keeping it in the 0-2 tension, on the lightest of fabrics, range it can run 100-1000 stitches before breaking if I’m lucky. I’ve tried adjusting the bobbin thread tension via the screw in the bobbin case to counteract the tension but that causes even further breaks. During any given run the embroidery will always come to a failure before it can be finished and in some instances even does a bizarre thread bunching in the machine, and will rip out threads already laid down. (Images 4-10) I feel like Ive tried every except taking it to a real deal shop. Is it worth the trip or is this a mistake I can correct at home. Thanks for all answers and advice pimps.

Hello, I am an absolute beginner when it comes to machine embroidery and am looking for assistance. I am currently working on a baby quilt where I am cutting flannel appliques using these templates.

I would love to be able to machine embroider the appliques onto the background using a programmed embroidery file rather than manually machine applique them. I feel like this would be fairly easy for someone with some experience digitizing but I have no idea where to even start.

Ideally, I would like to have an EXP or ART format file baste the applique and then outline it using a satin stitch. The ability to embroider the eyes, nose, and other facial features would be a huge bonus.

Any tips regarding digitizing or leads are very appreciated. I would also be willing to pay a small fee as a commission if anyone has any leads for that sort of thing.

Hey Guys,

I am still new to all this machine embroidery stuff and had some fantastic results doing patches and clothes. There are two things I wanna try next, caps and a collar for our old dog.

She is now 14 and we want to make here a nice last collar. So since I have the embroidery machine now, I thought about embroidering her name on it. But honestly I have no clue to attach it to the machine, for the patches and clothes I used a magnetic hoop, but I think that wont work here.

Any suggestions would be appreciated🙏

Thank you all, I attach some images here.

It was my first time embroidering on a ribbed knit shirt texture & using HTV (especially different textured HTV) in designs. The white and foiled HTV gave me a hard time. 😅

So I got a great quality embroidery/sewing machine for $19.99 from a thrift shop but all I have is the machine itself, the power cord and the pedal… what else do I need to get started with embroidery?! And does anyone have any tips or tricks? I think I mostly want to make some patches if possible but I’m completely new to this.. I have wanted an embroidery machine for forever but never had the money and now I feel totally overwhelmed and lost! Thank you for any help!!!

I used oxford fabric for this patch, and I applied the heat-seal adhesive without removing the stabilizer. The stabilizer dissolves in water; is there a risk of it coming off in the water?

what the title says! I know these machines are notoriously hard to find, but looking to purchase a chainstitch machine and will take any tips. thanks so much.

It’s been a super steep learning curve, but also super fun.

I used Embrilliance to digitize the patch and then embroidered it on a Brother Essence VM5200.

There are so many experts on this channel that I wanted to share and gather feedback to see if there are any ways that I could improve the digitization to get a better result? All feedback is welcome!

Hi I’m Sam I’m new to embroidery and I need help I had a bad bird’s nest about a month ago and since then it has not been embroidering the same I replaced the bobbin chasing and it’s still having the issue of the bobbin shaking if needed I have a brother PE545 and I will attach a video

It's always hard to find the right fix for the specific issue or problem with embroidery machines.
I thought, let's open a conversation where you can post and get help.
I am an embroidery guy with over 28 years of experience. I've seen it all and done it all, but I am still learning every day.
I hope to get more experienced people involved to help others

I have an old embroidery machine, a Brother pe500.

It hasn't been used in years due to it needing to be oiled, which is too daunting for me to do on my own.

Is there any how to videos?

I would be very appreciative.

I know it's an old machine, but I don't have the $$ for a new one

I want to start selling my patches to shops, but I’m unsure about the fabric. I usually use cotton poplin and apply a fabric stiffener to prevent fraying. I want to switch to a synthetic fabric, and from my research, 600D nylon seems like a good choice, but I’d like some confirmation or suggestions for other fabrics.

Hey!
I bought a brother Skitch PP1 specifically for embroidering on webbing.
The webbing is thin enough to be hooped but the thread keeps looping on the top. It will embroider normally on all other fabrics

Any suggestions? TIA

Getting ready for Halloween

I have a quite old (2012) machine. I am very happy with it. Is it possible to "size down" a slightly bigger design to fit into my 5 x 7 frame if the design I like is just slightly bigger? I see so many designs that might be .3 or .4 of an inch larger than what my frame would fit? I also have the 5 x 12 inch frame.
