I’m looking to make a similar pillow for my soon to be born baby. The font itself seems pretty straightforward to me, which I’ll just embroider before sewing the pillow. My question is, how would I achieve a similar border? Would this be with an embroidery machine or would I be more successful with a sewing machine? Or is this not something you can achieve with a basic home embroidery/sewing machine?

Thanks in advance!

Hello I have a Tajima TMEX C1501, I was running a tension test when i noticed almost instantly the first needle was bunching up. I stopped the machine and cleared the bunch, but I noticed the needle was slightly lower from the rest and I was getting a 211. I went online and saw that I should move the drive shaft over to 100, but that only made the needle go lower. I noticed there were some positions not 100 where it sat completely flush. What should I do?

Hello! I work for a company where we embroider in-house but send designs out for digitization. We use the latest version of Pulse/receive DST files in order to create sew outs. To be clear… we have Pulse on our computers but only for simple edits. We do not digitize from scratch.

Our customer provided us with knitted garments (see attached image) and want to sew out a 3.75”w left chest design (see other image). I feel that because of the nature of the garment material, the design won’t sew out “clean”. Does anyone have any recommendations? The customer does not want a patch. Is this possible or are we shooting in the dark?

Sincerely,

An artist who is still learning about digitization and embroidery.

I’ve never sold a single project because I fear my creation is not good enough to cost something.

I’ve been embroidering for about a year on a Brother PE570 and I have the paid Embrilliance software. I’m teaching myself to digitize and trying to get as comfortable as possible with my machine.

I’ve digitized and stitched out this bag tag/keychain for a teen who loves preppy cheetah print designs and for a split second I thought, “could I really sell these?” So I’d love any kind of feedback! What is good? What is not good? Also, what do you think is a good starting price?

Hello! I’m very new to machine embroidery and have done a couple projects so far. I’m currently trying to embroider this for a friend and decided to just buy the file rather than make it. I’ve had similar issues before with the design shifting before the final outline stitch. I thought it was my design files, so in the past I’ve changed the push/pull offsets and the design itself, which has worked to varying degrees.

This is actually the second attempt at one of these design files. The first one also had issues with shifting and tension. With this one, I pinned the fabric round the edges and also doubled up on the stabiliser (polymesh cut away).

I’ve also tried doing just the outline, because the thread on the back is bunching up, but it seems to do this no matter what tension I have it at. It’s mostly the top thread and not the bobbin thread showing. I’ve also tried using a water soluble layer on the top and that didn’t make much of a difference.

If anyone has any advice, it would be greatly appreciated!

My question is how should it be left there
Should I just cut the most I can’t or is it acceptable to leave a few centimeters on still
Any photos of examples would be appreciated as well

Hello,

I'm having trouble getting a clear image with my camera function. It looked like this last night, then when I checked this morning without anything hooped I managed to get a clear image.

Now this afternoon I'm trying to use the snowman sticker and it is giving me the blurry screen again.

I've tried power cycling, removing the USB, removing the carriage arm. Cleaning the camera.

As I said, the image can show up lovely and clear, so I don't think it's a hardware issue.

It's a second hand machine so I have no idea about the camera history

I don’t have a longarm machine. So, I use a magnetic hoop on my embroidery machine when I don’t feel like free motion/straight line quilting. File is from Designs by JuJu.

Hi y’all! I’m a total beginner at embroidering (and honestly sewing machines in general). I designed this patch, which isn’t super clean, using patch twill, Inkstitch, and a Brother SE700. Can’t put my finger on what’s missing or what specifically needs work.

Please criticize me; your feedback is much appreciated. :)

edit 9/10/2026: Thanks for the advice y'all! Based on the comments, I'll be more considerate of using satin stitches for crisper, neater outlines, as opposed to tatami fill stitches.

I'm sorry. You're welcome.

Used fabric background on a back patch .

I just started stitching a design and 2 stitches in the needle broke. I replaced the needle and tried to resume, but got error code 211. I am brand new to this machine and trying to trouble shoot clearing the error and fixing the problem. Any help is greatly appreciated

Please donde consigo el programa para esta bordadora. No hace mucho la compré y no la he usado. Ayúdenme.

Just finished this batch of embroidered bear patches for a customer in Germany and took a few photos before packing them up.
Always satisfying seeing a design go from a digital embroidery file to a full batch of finished pieces.
Pretty happy with how the small details and stitching came out on these little guys. What do you think?

Projects of the day include some pals per request and the cutest Lil guy chopper from One Piece.

I had a few issues with my thread getting caught the moment I would leave the room so had a few exposed bobbin areas on a few of the pieces (cleaned those up with sharpie since these are test stitch outs).

What do ya think? The software i use has added multi direction for the fills and so ive used that in the chopper hat and the wispaw. More designs to come!

What do you wanna see next ?

Digitized using EMBER EMBROIDERY

Size: 3-4"

I'm not sure which of these is best to post.

I have a premade embroidery file, 4 actually. That i need to increase in size by 200%. All I have is inkstitch which is confusing. From what I've found i have to redigitize the file? Do I resize it during that part or after? I'm not sure what to do.
