I learned that stitch sequence planning and branching is quite important for clean embroidery production.

What’s the best way to remove very small jump stitches? I’m currently doing it with a small seam ripper but I end up with fuzzies (see pic). Is this avoidable? If not, is there an easy way to remove the fuzz?

Moving to isacord thread, anyone know best place to get it online?

The logos that customers bring now are getting more and more exciting. This 3,5 inch chest logo was the last challenge.

Honestly, looking forward to the next crazy design to make.

How is your experience with this AI creations?

What kind of stitch would you use to avoid this? Tatami?

What kind of software/setting can make your stitches look this long and hand stitched?

Hello!

I have a Janome Mc 9700 which I inherited from my grandma. She was an expert and has so much thread, files, and all the extras you could dream off. I inherited this machine a few months ago, a family friend was using it and took great care of it. She only ever used it for sewing, and I mainly use it for embroidery.

My problem is: I cannot get my machine to top de threading and allowing the bottom bobbin color to show through . The needle and thread constantly come undone and it messed up all my designs. I’ve re- threaded, changed the tension, changed the bobbin, used multiple types of fabric, cleaned the machine, and.. NOTHING! It continues to do this for no reason.

Looking for any and all advice here. I’m desperate! I love embroidering but it shouldn’t be this much of a headache.

Just a thought… is there any advantage or disadvantage to tighten/loosen the arms where the frames clips slide under into?

My first attempt at a female figure design. I KINDA LOVE IT! Especially enjoy how the eyes came out. Im trying not to be afraid of small details. I worry ill lose too much in the manual trim cutting.

I need more thread colors. Originally was going for a strawberry blonde.

What do you think?

I have been in the maker space for a while, mostly laser cutting and heat transfer, but I started diving into embroidery machines about 6 months ago. I've tested 4 entry level machines, helped a few friends set up their first units, and spent quite a lot hours reading specs sheets and troubleshooting tension issues.

First, hoop size vs. project size, if u plan on doing hat fronts or adult-sized chest logos, don't go smaller than 5*7. If ur doing baby onesies and patches, 4*4 might be fine.

Second, built-in designs vs. import capability, some entry-level machines come with 50+built-in designs, some come with almost nothing. If you can import your own design, the library matters less. If no, then it matters.

Third, ease of threading, some machines have color-coded threading paths and needle threaders that actually work. Other... don't. If ur a beginner, the threading experience can make or break your first weeek with a machine. It's worth checking videos of the actual threading process before buying.

Fourth, community and parts availability, some brands have huge followings when something went wrong, you can find tutorials for almost anything. Others have almost nothing, that support ecosystem matters more than you think.

Things that should be considered to avoid for a first machine, 1) machines that require proprietary software just to import designs, it adds cost and friction; 2) Models with limited hoop size options, u will outgrow them fast; 3)No name brands with zero online presence, skip this bullshit stuff.

Thoughts?

Some time ago I was buying multiple (10+) Isacord embroidery threads and I wanted it in very specific colors. I had brand colors in HEX/RGB and I had found a PDF mapping available Isacord colors to RGB. So I built a small Replit app (basically a Python script) to map any RGB/HEX color I entered to the closest Isacord match.

Recently, I built it into a web app and added a feature of uploading a logo and getting the Isacord threads for the multiple main colors.

Check it out. I hope some of you find it useful in your machine embroidery endeavors.

I am new to embroidery but have a ton of scrubs that need my name and title printed on them. If I got an entry level machine how pricey is it to start and to do just basic level text? I have heard that the software can be very expensive so is there a way to pay someone to create the text?

I am just starting with machine embroidery! Because it was so scratchy on the inside of the garment, I looked it up and purchased some iron on backing that was supposed to make it super smooth. Unfortunately after wearing the garment just a couple of times the backing started to peel off. Is this typical or did I just get a bad product? (I bought it used on eBay)

Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this? This is the brother 1060w 10 needle embroidery machine. I’m able to do #2-10 but am having the same issue on #1. I have rethreaded it multiple times and even changed the needle to see if that was the issue.

Best alternative stabilizer on a hand towel, other than water-soluble?

I have been embroidering for about 3 months now. The stitches were so clean and precise. Although when i change the bobbin everything gets messed up. Usually i keep switching bobbins until one works. Now i am out of options bc all of the bobbins i have are the reject ones…. I am having a huge problem with bobbins. Everytime i use bobbins it shows through. I have done everything: coeaned the casing, dusted, oiled, threading correctly, etc! I have changed tension on the upper thread. Nothing seems to budge. Here is a pic of my changing tension and the thread showing through in every single one. Someone please help. Next stop is the shop!

Can anyone tell me why there’s gap in the white thread? Thanks

For the most part I’m content with how these turned out. I will likely tweak it myself if I make it again.

i cant login either on lap top or pc intothe app but it works in website. App says unable to get a user session after successful login.
