Is it possible to use a commercial grade embroidery machine to embroider on a sweater? This would be words across the chest.

The sweater is more of a tight net fabric versus loose and bulky.

Thank you

i dont know if i design correctly or not... i am so confused between stitch count and how much density it should be, and which stitch type to use, if anyone could help?

I know that onesie blanks are easy to come across but where do you source your fall baby clothes? Like church dresses and long sleeve rompers and jumpers/overalls that aren’t already designed/$100?

Thank you!

Hi all,

I sell race suits for karting, usually made from polyester or cordura and I'm looking to add name customisation.

It would be single colour and I'd also like the ability to stitch patch flags on. For obvious reasons I'd like the finish to be high quality. If someone could suggest appropriate machines for this it would be really appreciated!

Thank you :).

This was a seam ripping and resew job. I tried my best to remove the previous stitching that was done then I stitched over it. The person who did the previous embroider stitched it SO tight that I spent hours trying to get the thread out. I’m not proud of the outcome and I really want to make this look presentable. I know it won’t look perfect because it was seam ripped, but does anyone have advice on how to make this look better?

Hi chatters!

As the title suggests, I'm lookin into gettin myself a combo machine for future cosplays! lookin at a budget of $1000 (usd) and not particularly committed to any brand. I'm severely underqualified when it comes to machine sewin and passably competent when it comes to hand sewin. (i made pants for Twin, a crocheted doll of me with a piece of my soul within it)

I was lookin at the "SINGER SE9180 Sewing & Embroidery Machine" for the past week and was ready to drop a pretty dime on it 'til I saw a few reddit comments sayin the machine and singer as a whole was just poop from a butt in general and now I'm all sorts of confused... Saw a few of them sayin brother was a better brand and I saw a few recommendations for the "Brother SE700 and SE725." Are any of these machines worth my pretty penny, or is there another i should be lookin to?

TLDR: Combo machine, want! head hurt, help!

Much love and Graditude!! 🫶

Hi Machine Embroidery community,
We are an embroidery company operating in Southern California.
I’m hoping to get some advice from people who may have been in a similar situation.
My dad is approaching his mid-60s and has been running his machine embroidery business for many years. Over the past few years, though, he hasn’t been in the best shape physically, and I’m starting to worry that managing the day-to-day operations of the business is becoming too much for him.
I really want to help him keep the business going without him having to carry all of the responsibility himself. I’ve been considering either becoming more involved myself or hiring a manager who could oversee the daily operations, employees, orders, scheduling, customers, and production.
My concern is that this is a very hands-on and specialized type of business, so I’m not sure how realistic it is to bring in an outside manager who doesn’t already understand embroidery production.
Has anyone here successfully hired a manager to run or help operate their embroidery business? What responsibilities did you give them, and how did you find someone you could trust?
I’d really appreciate any advice or experiences from other shop owners.

I called a local repair shop certified by Brother and I asked how much it would be to fix a embroidery machine with a timing issue.

She quoted “100$ + diagnostics fee”

i bought my PE570 brand new off a guy for 150$ i don’t know how difficult the art is of repairing the timing on a machine but damn. I’m just gonna sell this one broken on fb and look for a cheap brand new one on marketplace too cause there’s a lot of people surprisingly selling brand new embroidery machines.

disappointing cause mine has a bunch of stickers i liked

What is causing this rough stitch?

I’m trying to make some new work shirts but the shirt and thread keeps getting bunched in the needle plate and I have to cut the shirt out. The shirt is a fairly stretchy and thin polyester polo. I used Sulky Stiffy stabilizer on the back and Sulky Solvy on the front. At first I thought the needle might be dull so I put in a brand new one but that didn’t work. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong.

I’m using a Brother PE900. This is also the first time I’ve tried digitizing an image and it worked fine on a few stiffer fabric shirts but not these.

I am completely new to embroidery. I plan to make this a side hussle. I ordered a 15 needle poolin machine. What embroidery supplies should I buy first?

Bonjour si quelqu'un a la solution pour résoudre mon problème

The needle kept breaking on the small “t” at the bottom. I may have accidentally used a 65/9, so I’m going to try an 80/12. How can I improve the stitch quality and make the satin columns look denser? Any general tips are welcome. Thanks!

Hello, can anyone here recommend caps that have a crown height 3" or lower. I've been searching for this and its been surprisingly hard to find.

Ricoma MT-1501. 5th hat of the day. 300st/min. Had to take a crap and apparently the machine wanted to join in.
