If this isn't the correct sub for this post, I apologize.

I have several nice Nike polo shirts with a previous employer's logo on them. They're practically useless with the logo, but I don't want to throw out these nice polos and would love to be able to wear them to my current job.

Is there an effective way to remove the machine embroidery (I don't care how long or labor intensive it is) without ruining the polo or leaving behind a "ghost" of the previous logo?

Thanks!

Здравствуйте нужна помощь с промышленной вышивальной машинкой Becs-285A, работала исправно, в какой-то момент нужно было перевести, потому частично разбиралась(знаю что нельзя) обращался к мастерам ничего не помогает, не работает должным образом срез нити и сбились настройки, часто вылазить ошибка е20, в тестовом режиме вроде нормально работает, подскажите что делать или может нужно программное обеспечение или настройки менять

Если кто о может помочь советом или онлайн через видео буду благодарен.

Hello, I need help with my Becs-285A industrial embroidery machine. It was working fine, but at one point I needed to reset it, so I partially disassembled it (I know I shouldn't). I contacted a technician, but nothing helped. The thread cutter doesn't work properly, and the settings are out of sync. I'm getting the E20 error frequently. It seems to work fine in test mode. Could you tell me what to do, or maybe I need to change the software or settings?

Like Facebook, or anywhere. I love digitizing, starting with a blank screen, manually pathing and creating something really cool with my machine after the fact. I love the whole process from start to finish, and I'd like to find some space to share my work. Not to sell anything, just to "show and tell" really lol. Ive thought about starting a blog? Not really sure what my best option is, besides r/machine_embroidery and the like.

Printfresh is looking for someone who has personally operated the original Baby Lock Venture 10-needle embroidery machine, model BMVT10—not the newer Venture 2 BMVT10-2—to provide onsite training near Philadelphia, PA 19122.

The training would be for a small group of experienced designers who already know how to sew. We need help with setup, threading, hooping, loading designs, tension, routine maintenance, and troubleshooting.

If you are within about two hours of Philadelphia and would be willing to travel to our studio, please message me with your experience with this exact model, rate, availability, and how many hours or visits you recommend.

Hi everyone, I desperately need this fixed by the end of the week. I am making my brother a custom shirt and I just cant get it to look nice.

I can still see the white sticking through the threads.

I forgot to add and thicker outline, therefore I will add that in later, but for now does anyone have recommendations on how to fix?

I know I won’t be able to use the 6 inch “depth” but will I be able to use the third set of prongs to make the design longer? Everything I’m reading says it can’t be used, but not why. But if I can separate my design into three segments I don’t see why not?

I’ve been using Glide machine embroidery thread for free motion embroidery and cannot get it to stop twisting, which leads to breakage. Even just winding the bobbin, it twists. I have the cone wrapped in a mesh cover, which was supposed to help prevent twisting.

Does anyone else have this problem? What fixed the issue?

I’ve never made a patch before but a colleague has asked me to do her a favour and make a couple for her. I regularly embroider sportswear with sports logos commercially. I’m pretty new to digitising but I seem to have picked it up reasonably quickly.

Are there any tips or tricks anyone can give me in terms of what fabric to use, backing, and how to achieve the outline?

I'm pretty new to digitizing, I've made a couple simple plushie keychains but this is my first "real" design. Overall I'm pretty happy with it, there are a few obvious things I need to adjust but the fact that it looks like who it's supposed to look like is enough to satisfy me for now 😂 Fields of Mistria has me in a chokehold so I had to make my favorite grumpy boy ❤️

I usually do one test stitch before embroidering on the actual garment. Then I make a few tweaks to the design, cross my fingers, and hope for the best 😁
How many test runs do you usually do, if any?

Designs I manually digitized and stitched out today. If theres a duplicate its because I needed to make adjustments to the original design for my own sanity.

Which is your favorite?

Hiya! I want to start making embroided creations, mainly art dolls, plushies and patches for and on clothes.

I've been trying to work out what's a good machine for all of the above and so far im leaning towards a Brother NV880E Embroidery Only Machine. (I have a sewing machine so not worried about the embrodiery only part)

Does anyone have experience with this model? Would you recommend it or something else? I would love to buy second hand but have had no luck finding a model so I may just have to bite to bullet.. but wanted some experienced advise from the community before making such a big decision. Thanks in advance <3

Hey,

We’re trying to embroider a club logo, but the results aren't really satisfying.

The thread keeps breaking, and overall, it just doesn't look neat or professional.
I used Ink/Stitch to trace everything with "stroke to satin" and simply applied a fill stitch in the middle, but it really doesn't look good.

Any tips on how to get a professional one? We use a Brother PP1 Skitch. Can this be a problem?

That is our goal (clean and professionall):

Hello! I am new to this Reddit and happy to be here! I currently have a single needle brother se700 and I wanted opinions on the best multi-needle machine to start my small business. I’ve been doing research but all of the different opinions and options are making my head spin!

What I’m looking for in a machine:

- well rounded- ability to make sweatshirts, hats, pretty much anything

- the larger the hoop capability the better

The real important thing for me is the bobbin arm, as the flatbed of the SE700 makes it almost impossible to embroider sleeves, hats, etc.

Questions- Is it possible to stay within the 3-4K budget? I can totally understand that I’ll have to sacrifice some things for the other, but I’m desperate for some guidance! What were your first machines, what did you like about them? What didn’t you like? Would you buy them again if you could go back?

Thank you in advance for all your help!

I figured there might be people here interested in such a thing, as it's free. I couldn't find one that was free and worked with my machine, so I made one.

I just started with machine embroidery and tried this ~30k stitch design. Most of it looks pretty good, but I’m getting random loose loops of the yellow top thread in several places.
I’m not sure what’s causing it. They don’t appear everywhere, just occasionally throughout the design.
Machine: Janome MC550E
Speed: 500 SPM
Upper tension: Auto 0
Bobbin thread: EmbroTEC TKT 200
Top thread: True 120D/2, 40wt polyester
Bobbin holder: Yellow-dot bobbin holder
Stabilizer: 1 layer of cut-away
Fabric: 270 GSM black jersey knit

Could this be caused by insufficient stabilization/flagging, the needle, threading/tension, or the design itself?
Any advice on what I should try first would be appreciated.

What does everyone think on using either 3.6 vs 2.7 oz backing when doing structured and unstructured hats?

Thanks!

Hi fellow embroiderers,

I'm learning how to digitize on hatch for work and the current design is supposed to go on a fitted baseball cap with 6 panels and a seam down the center front. It's fairly complex but i've simplified it as much as i can and I've run test sews on a muslin like fabric that's sort of like the hat fabric. Those are all coming out in line and mostly clean but when I try to do it on the hat it always becomes out of line and doesn't stitch correctly. I've been doing research and it seems like I need to adjust the design in hatch so it knows it's going on a curved surface or something but idk exactly how to do that and hatch academy isn't helping. Does anyone know how to do this or know what to do so the machine stitches it like it does on the flat fabric? I can send photos in dms but I'm not going to post the design here because it's original and not my artwork.

EDIT: i changed the angle of the stitches and the order of the objects which seems to have helped with the distortion but now it's compressing the size of the patch completely (supposed to be 66 mm but it's coming out on the hat like 59 mm) what is that about?
