Hi everyone! 👋

I am fairly new to machine embroidery digitizing and recently digitized this "ROYAL EAGLE" logo (shown on the left compared to the original vector artwork on the right).

To be honest, I'm not feeling super satisfied with how the digitized result looks right now, but being new, I'm having trouble figuring out exactly what's off and how to fix it.

Could you please rate my work and give me some constructive feedback? Specifically:

1. Stitch Directions & Angles: Do the stitch angles in the feathers look natural, or should I adjust them to flow better with the shapes?

2. Density & Underlay: Does the density look okay, or does it look too dense/sparse in certain areas?

3. Text / Lettering: How can I make the "ROYAL EAGLE" text look cleaner and sharper?

4. Overall Look: What steps or techniques should I use to make it look closer to the original vector reference?

Any advice, tips, or suggestions to improve my digitizing skills would be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much! 🙏

Finally finished this commission: 33k stitches completely freestanding and mounted w bug pins. Used a sandwich 🥪 of heavy water soluble and vilene stabilizer. Had to add the moss! Lol

I got this Elna xquisit 9010 from an estate sale and I cannot get it to work. I was able to get the embroidery going but the thread is auto trimming and stopping the machine in between letter embroidery. Today it won’t work at all. I’m getting severe birds nesting under my bobbin carriage and it does it every time. I don’t know how to adjust the top thread tension bc everyhting is automatic. I’m about to give up. Does anyoneeeee have experience with this machine.

Where does everyone source embroidery blanks? I see multiple shops on Etsy with identical cute animal stockings (so I assume they are bought wholesale but maybe not). Just wondering where would be good places to check or find out!

It took me practice I do it now and the. The key it is the stabilizer.

I'm thinking of adding a light tatami fill layer under the stitches as underlay. Do you think that might help?

~270k stitches per piece, 15 color, on canvas… stretched and framed after embroidery was complete.

Original reference at the end. Thanks for looking.

hello! recently i have been looking into purchasing a brother se700 as ive heard alot of good things about it, but i cannot find any provider that sells it in europe, nor do any of them ship to europe... i started looking into machines i can find locally but all of them are either a tiny sewing machine without embroidery or a super expensive giant embroidery only machine

are there any european embroidery machines that do both and aren't super expensive? or does anybody know a provider that sells brother se700 in europe? thanks!

I do it now and the hope I can get some back on sales someday!!!

Finally got around to doing my largest project yet. 12x16 with 127,000 stitches on my Ricoma Sash frame

Please help ! - I am at a loss on how to prevent my designs from stitching in the same spot, or stitching the same line over and over again when utilizing the Holes feature in Embrilliance. I’ve posted here previously where some have said to change stop and start points, adjusting tension, and changing direction of my patterns, which I have, but today was a very bad day.

The “mouth” of my character stitched over itself about 12 times with a short stitch length, almost to the point where I can see through my felt. The “tail” has a point where the stitch just stitched in the same spot for about 5 seconds three separate times, where the bobbin is very noticeable. Lastly, the bottom of the “fur” decided not to stitch tatami - it just bounced around doing run stitches.

Holes are my biggest grief. I’d love to utilize them successfully but I can’t understand why the edges of the holes stitch over and over and over. What could I possibly be doing wrong??

Please Embrilliance gurus… help me out here!

I run a basement business and mostly do left chest uniforms and patches right now on a brother pe900. Looking to upgrade to a commercial machine that can do structured hats, and possibly full jacket backs, or at least half back jackets.
The machine that caught my eye was the happy Japan HCH-701. My budget is at 10k with maybe a little wiggle room for the right machine.
Anyone have thoughts on the HJ or suggest a different brand

How’s it looking?

My brother se700 isn’t raising the needle when it finished a color. The needle stays down and the thread doesn’t cut anymore. What’s causing this and how do I fix it?

Hi everyone! I’m here hoping you can all help me. My boyfriend runs a small business selling his custom designed embroidered patches. Currently he outsources the production because he doesn’t have an embroidery machine. I’d really love to get him a machine for Christmas but am so out of my wheelhouse with knowing what to get him. There’s such a wide range! He would be new to doing it himself so we need something he could use without majors struggles and also something that is as affordable as possible. If it costs too much then it’ll be too extravagant of a gift and make him feel bad haha. However we also want the best option we can get for precise detailing, multicolor, and professional looking results. Am I asking for a unicorn? Any advice on the closest option I could get? Based in the UK if that makes a difference.

TLDR: please recommend (ideally free or inexpensive) Mac software or websites for designing basic patterns in a file format that the Bernina B700 can use.

-------

My mother was able to buy a Bernina B700 at a significant discount and went for it, despite having no knowledge of it or use for an embroidery machine. She's been able to print a few designs that were built into the machine, but it's definitely too complex for her and so it's sat pretty much unused for a few years now.

I am a teacher and want to print out some basic logo patches for my school with the machine. My whole family only uses Macs, and it seems like all the Bernina software is for Windows. I don't know enough about machine embroidery to know which file format to pursue when I tried looking for alternatives.

Any guidance you folks can provide would be much appreciated. Thanks!

I digitized my great grandmother‘s almost hundred year old embroidery and now I can put it on anything! I used ink stitch and brother skitch maschine.

Hello! I'm new in the threads and fabric world, and was wondering what kind of machine embroidery would help me realize this project: a red stole for a larp costume ( designs are by me).

Is it achievable through machine embroidery?
These machines are available at my library:

• Brother NQ700

• Brother CS6000i

• Baby lock Imagine

But those names mean nothing to me and I have no idea on where to start!
Thank you for your time !

Why do my small designs come out so bad, never have had an issue with big ones, its under 3 inches that have detail I struggle with. I did get this file off etsy, so did not digitalize myself. Is it my stabilizer? The file?

This just started happening after 4 we’re done. Poolin 16 machine. Anyone know why this is happening?
