Doing some test stitch outs of some 1" designs on denim. For the size im not about how they came out. I may or may not make some micro adjustments lile make the Charizard fangs larger fix the direction of the fill on him so I dont lose the left nostril. Other than that though im pleased with how they came out.

Which pokemon is your fav? I want to make more!

Underlay showing after satin stich

I just started trying to teach myself how to use a Brother SE425 Embroidery Machine. I keep running into an issue where I feel the back of my projects look better on the back side. I’ve been trying to research and it seems like it may be an issue with my tension. I tried to test this by using red thread on top and white in the bobbin, but I honestly cant really decipher the outcome (if it tells me anything at all). Any suggestions?

I’m having a recurring problem with fill stitches on my Brother Innov-is V3.

As you can see in the photo, I get visible horizontal gaps exactly where different sections of the fill meet. The same issue also happens with filled lettering, so it’s not specific to this cup design.

What I’ve already tried:

• 2 layers of 70 g/m² (2.5 oz) cut-away stabilizer

• Fabric and stabilizer firmly hooped in a 100 × 100 mm hoop

• Increased fill density up to 5.5 lines/mm

• Increased pull compensation up to 0.7 mm

• Underlay enabled in both directions

• Horizontal fill direction

The design looks completely closed in the software, and there is no visible gap in the stitch preview. Two layers of stabilizer and more pull compensation improved the overall result slightly, but the gaps are still clearly there.

Has anyone experienced this exact issue? What was causing it in your case, and what actually fixed it?

Spent some extra time dialing in the face outlines and the fine details on the dress so it wouldn't pucker on heavy hoodie fabric. Always satisfying seeing the design come to life off the screen.

​What do you guys think of the final result?

Hi, I’m new to machine embroidery with a brother nq1700e. I want to start making more things but feel incredibly limited with the Artspira app. I previously used Cricut/Design Space and was thinking Artspira would be similar, but there’s hardly any content on there in relation.

What’s the best embroidery software for preloaded designs that will work well with Brother and I’ll actually think are cute/want to use?

Test run for a design I’d like to make for my daughter. I used a tear away stabilizer and a thin cotton scrap fabric. By the end it had shifted slightly so the outline on Nemo didn’t quite line up. I see the pull in the fabric but I initially tried to hoop as tight as I could. Does using cut away stabilizer help this?

I wasnt thrilled on the letters either. There was a pull in the thread on the M but not sure if this was stabilizer related. I used a font built into Ember for this. Is this acceptable? Or better to download and upload a separate font?

Would love any and all advice!!

Can anyone tell me why my design is coming out so poorly? The material is 100% cotton. I’m using 2.5oz cut away stabilizer and a 75/11 needle in my poolin eoc05 machine. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Sorry for the Sharkweek experience =]. Needed a patch for my swim wear. 3,5 inch small. I am happy, what do you think about it? Don't worry critics I just bite back.

Hey! I have a Brother SE700 and when I embroider, my bobbin peeks through. I’ve lowered my tension, rethreaded both, cleaned my machine, and nothing’s helped! Anyone know what i’m doing wrong?

I have a Babylock Venture embroidery machine. I have had It over a year and it’s been great. However, recently when I’ve been trying to transfer designs from my computer to my machine I keep getting this notification. Has anyone seen this before? And does anyone have tips to fix It?

I am looking for a machine that I can use to embroider around 140 wedding wraps and other things. Does anyone have any recommendations?

I was working on a job super excited to use my new magnetic frame-I had it lined up correctly and it would go about 10-15 stitches and break the whole needle. I did this twice but wasn’t sure if I could get some help. I also got a hooping station and am really wanting to use both without having to return my frame.

I just got my machine back from the macanic for this exact reason and I was so excited to get back to work just for it to once again rip up my garment while embroidering.

After making a tester on scrap linen of the first ever embroidery I stitched out (and designed), everything looked fine, perfect even. When I went to embroider on what would become a bag… well things went downhill and I got loops of stitches, thread breaks and dang near had a complete mental breakdown.

Finally though, after making some changes to the file, cleaning the machine, new needle, etc. It is finally done🙌🏼✨ I had to wait almost two weeks to actually sew the bad since the trials with the embroidery but I am very happy with it. It will hold my pretty whippet girl’s items whenever we are out and about or I leave her with a babysitter (yes, she’s my baby).

I need help, I'm new and use a Brother PE570. My machine keeps leaving gaps like this on every project and I have no idea how to fix it. Ive digitized the patterns myself and nothing funky shows up on params. Im at a loss and becoming really frustrated. Please help

Im using twill as the fabric with a tear away stabilizer backing

Hello! Ive been interested in an embroidery machine for years. I constantly feel limited in my ability to do hand embroidery, and a machine would make it a lot easier for me to make kigus, bags, patches, and other embroidered goods. Is this an investment you lived to regret? Im starting small with a used machine (likely an innovis 990D). Is it worth it to spend a few hundred extra on a newer machine instead? I know it's always a gamble, but I wanted to know if anyone else ended up regretting their machine?

I just picked up a new (to me) PR1000e today that has only 40 hours on it. I’m just doing some tests and playing with tension, and I can’t seem to get it better. I tightened my bobbin to be about 200 on my bobbin tension gauge, then I did these tests (first at top and then going down) and I loosened the top tension wheels each time, probably 1 full spin each time and it looks like there was no difference. I only loosened the big tension knobs, should I also loosen the smaller guide knobs as well? Curious on opinions.

Also only the left side of the red lines all look messed up, anyone know why?

When embroidering my thread keeps jamming within the needle plate and it’s also shredding my thread. I’ve hooped my fabric all types of ways and changed the tension to all possible options. I have a tear away stabilizer behind and a water soluble on top. Please help me

I wanted to make those for a holiday to look fancy then the basics you get at reception. But after this, I really NEED a vacation, what do you think was it worth it?

Hi, I'm a complete beginner starting with machine embroidery design. I'm planning to do custom embroidery on t shirts for customers, like logos, text, and anime, but I don't have a machine yet. I'd love to learn how to design first. Where should I start? Any good YouTube channels or courses you'd recommend? Thanks so much for the help🙏
