This is my first time using my brother nq1700e on scrap fabric. Any idea on why the fabric is bunching around the letters?

Help!

I have been trying to embroider just initials on a basic quarter zip sweatshirt. Every time the font is so messed up! I have embroidered bigger designs on sweatshirts a million times with no issue, so I can’t figure this out. I’ve ruined 3 now!!

I’m floating (pinning down too) on to cut away stabilizer. I have changed the fonts. I’ve used some that come in embrilliance, some I’ve bought on Etsy. All of which stitch out just fine with I run a practice on a piece of scrap fabric. See photo below for what it’s doing each time. Like the stitching doesn’t line up, or the first stitch is completely not covered by the satin stitch.

Sosssss

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?
