Hey everyone! I literally just started getting into embroidery and bought my first machine yesterday — a Brother PE570. I’m super excited but also kinda overwhelmed trying to learn everything 😭
Right now I only have a 4x4 hoop, but I keep seeing people do bigger designs like 5x12 and larger. How do you upgrade from a 4x4 setup to something bigger? Is it just buying a different hoop or does the machine itself have limits?
Also, does anyone have any beginner tips, tricks, mistakes to avoid, must-have supplies, software recommendations, stabilizer advice, etc. specifically for the PE570? I’m trying to learn as much as possible before I waste a bunch of materials lol.
Thanks in advance!
Is there a free or more affordable alternative to Embrilliance Essentials that offers the same features and functionality?
