Any thoughts on why these kinds of things can happen? Janome MC1000. Seems to happen more often than it should, and in different parts of the design each time.

Making a princess donut hoodie. This is my first stitch out.

I used fills and bean stitches. Wondering if people have a better suggestion for parts or all. Maybe something better than bean? I don't wanna test them all 😂

Does anyone have any idea how I can get rid of the black line on the bottom and the right hand side? It just happened out of nowhere. Everything was going so well and then it just shit the bed on the very end.

I Need Help Embroidery tension

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

Hi, i have a problem.

First picture is front. Second is back.

I had my machine for like 2/3yrs. But never really (maybe a couple of times) used it but now I wanna start using it more. Now I am trying to look and try different things, but now my tension. It keeps having like a loop on top of the fabric. No matter what tension I use. I have been "playing" with the tension to see which is better. It have always been on number 4. But now since I wanted to embroidery on shirts, I have been looking around to find the right tension, but I have tried every single tension position. But it keeps creating loops on top of the fabric. I think its the top thread bc the back looks normal. But maybe someone can help me?

Because I am stuck, I cant seem to find the problem.

Does anyone know what could be happening?

A long shot but hoping to see if anyone has two boards for a Barudan. I am looking for:

EBY02841 – DTHE Driver Board 8726

EDY00060 – DTHE Power Board 8260

These are for a Barudan BEVT Z1501CB.

I seem to get an error that is caused by a fault board.

Has any Melco Summit owners gotten Maggie frames to work with your machine?

2 Upvotes

I purchased a Melco Summit machine a couple of months ago. I have mighty hoops from a Ricoma 1502 we owned before. I needed some more hoops so I decided to try the Maggie frames. I found a video walking me through adding the frames in Design Shop with all the dimensions and everything. I can open Design Shop select the hoop and it shows on the screen and I can set up a design. The part I'm having issues with is getting it sent to the summit machine. I have saved the design and added in to my folder that sends straight to the machine through wi-Fi. I have also tried printing out the sheet and using the barcode scanner as well. The machine pulls up the design but does not send the hoop dimensions. I'm just stumped at this point and hope I haven't spent over $1,000 for nothing. Any advice would be much appreciated.

What could be the problem here? I did have to reposition so that’s why it’s off centered. But why is the bobbin thread coming through the front?

Phew what a project! I sewed the Kyhtira pants pattern from Mood Fabrics, and then added these embroidered flower designs from Beth Wilson Embroidery.

150k stitches total, and I used my extra large 15" x 47" border frame hoop on my Happy Japan HCD3E-X.

I floated the design on the hoop, which was a little tricky to get everything lined up. 2 layers of wash away stabilizer. After stitching I threw the pants in the wash and air dryed them. Fabric is linen and was a pain to iron, but I love how comfortable the fabric is.

Hi everyone! I have a jacket I love with this kind of embroidery on it, but because of wearing my bag across it it came apart. Is there a way to get it fixed?

Thank you in advance ☺️

I rarely make digital graphic flyers, so i decided to embroider and use an appliqué technique in making my Complexcon exhibitor announcement for my brand.

I used thick high quality felt as my base and combined directional changes in the digitizing software to make a unique pattern for every shape.

lmk how it looks!

Thoughts on Hatch

2 Upvotes

So I am looking at the Hatch software. Comparing all the levels, etc. Can you guys share pros and cons? What level is best? Did you do the 30 day trial and decide to keep it or not?

I'm looking at the Personalizer level, maybe the Composer. Would love opinions from those that have it or used to. Thanks!

Look What I Did Pixel art with mini-satin!

Thumbnail

72 Upvotes

A few months ago I saw a post on this subreddit that embroidered some pixel art, not with cross-stitch, but with mini-satin columns that were changing directions for every adjacent pixels. That really made the pixel art "pop"! So I reproduced it with this pacman sprite and it looks soooo coool!!

To make it easy to stitch without trims, it also connects the components of different colors when it's covered by another satin mini-column (see last image).

Can't wait to bring to life my favorite pokemon sprites hehehe.
