When I try to log in, it gets stuck on this screen saying “preparing”. Eventually I get this error message M132001. I’ve tried deleting and reinstalling the app, turning my phone off and back on, creating a new account, turning the WiFi off and back on, deleting my cookies under settings… basically anything I can think of. Has anyone had this problem? Is the app just temporarily down?

So my whole design this evening was a mess ultimately culminating a snapped needle. I think the material I am using is too thick for my machine- but the most frustrating part was when I got to the text and it started out messy and horrible, and then just smoothed itself out. Any suggestions on how to fix and why it would have smoothed out? I use embrilliance and I’ve found that on fonts that I buy in a cheap etsy pack, I have issues, but with the embrilliance fonts I always have a pretty good stitch out. This is an embrilliance font but I’m still having this problem. Any recommendations?

Husqvarna Viking ruby deluxe. Going through the hatch shading course. At first, I thought it was an auto cutter problem so I turned it off and now I’m manually trimming all cuts, which is annoying but it would have less nesting . Sometimes things embroidered out fine, I’ve messed with the tension quite a bit and still can’t get it perfect.

Seems like it’s a problem with the first few stitches of each object. I’ve also tried pulling the bobbin thread up and holding the threads until it completes the first few stitches, and that seems to help a lot but do I really have to do that for every object? Any advice?

Hello, this is my first time trying to embroider a shirt. I have been practicing on cotton fabric. For some reason this doesn’t look right to me. I feel like you can see the holes on the sides of the letters and some of the thread spacing doesn’t seem consistent. I purchased a font from a reputable seller on Etsy. I also chose the size font in Embrilliance and did not modify it. I also have not touched the machine (new) tension settings. I know this community is full of experienced folks! I will take all the advice I can get.

I’m running into an issue with my Elna machine. It originated when I got some thread stuck under the fabric, but I’ve since cleared that, removed the bobbin and its cover, brushed it out, and changed the needle.

I’m not really sure what’s causing it still to lock. Any advice?

Hello everyone, I’m working on a project for a coworker and I was running a test run and I feel like my machine is acting weird but I’m not sure because I’m new to this. It’s their jacket that is a fleece material. I’m using a 4x4 hoop so any advice on how to improve the lettering so it’s not lost in the material is appreciated.

Items used:
Fleece from Amazon
40wt thread I think new brothread
Cut away stabilizer
Water soluble stabilizer on top
90wt prewound bobbin
90/14 needle (gold tip came with my machine)
Machine is brother se700
I have embrillance software

My machine wasn’t cutting the last time I used it and I think I fixed it because it cut this time. But any advice is appreciated.Thank you!

My thread keeps shredding and getting tangled in the needle plate anyone got any ideas why this is happening ?

1st pic is my patch and 2nd is what it should look like.

I am trying to embroider some more shirts for a family member since I have all of the supplies to do so. I used inkstitch to digitize the design, but I need help fixing some aspects.

Do I need to change everything except for the red part to a satin stitch? I think it had a fill stitch for everything. Also, do I need to increase the density for the red part? I don’t know how to do either of these things, so if someone could point me in the right direction that would be amazing!

Lastly, if I change the font size (and type of stitch) for the wording above the main patch, will that fix the problem?

P.s. I know I used the worst scrap fabric to see this on. I’m sorry!

My machine, a Dahao A15, came with this enormous frame. Is it just a big frame, or does it have some special purpose?

I've got a customer who's desperate for these 5-panel nylon hats with bungee cord closure. I can't find them from my usual suppliers though. Has anyone come across these blank? Thanks!

When my sister was pregnant with her first she asked if I was able to make something like this, and back then I told her I wasn't confident in machine embroidery. I just had a sewing machine. I now have a brother SE1900.

I just pulled an all nighter and tried to be brave enough to give it a shot and surprise her before my sister has her second baby (this week or next!) she likes her crewnecks oversized so that's why I spaced it out so much. I still need to clean up some of the threads but I was excited to share!

I know there's obvious tension issues, which I tried to fix and failed. Any advice would be welcome as I have plenty of wonderful friends having babies this year! I used a cut away stabilizer and a paper water solvy which was definitely wrong but I figured this would be a practice piece if it didn't work out.

Thank you!

Hello,

Is there some sort of tear away thing that I can put on the front of the shirt when embroidering so that the shirt doesn't show through under the embroidery? Can I use tear away stabilizer in the front?
