Yo guys, how can i get properly thread tensión with My mc550e with a spool stand?. I've threaded the embroidery machine correctly, but when I start sewing, the thread loses tension and causes the machine to jam at some point. I bought the spool stand to solve this problem since I didn't have anywhere to put such large spools of thread before but I'm still having trouble. Should I reduce the stitches per minute? Or how can I get the thread to feed with the right tension?. Thanks in advance

I’ve been sewing for a while and have been thinking of getting into embroidery too. Hopped on Facebook and found this machine (Husqvarna Viking Iris) and a ton of accessories for $90. Thankfully the software and card writer were all included and work. I had to set up Windows XP too but it’s fine. I’m learning how to use Inkscape/Inkstitich and created the letters. Converted the file so that I can get it on the card and boom, we have a finished product. Need to play around with some tension settings on the machine but I’d say not bad for a week of learning and tinkering. Excited to see where this goes!

Howdy Y'all, Recently this has been happening to me pretty consistently across multiple heads but mostly on white ?? any advice on what could be causing this and how to resolve it would be greatly appreciated !!

Hi everyone! Looking for any tips or tricks on embroidering these designs onto canvas bags - any favorite stabilizer, needles, etc that would ensure a flawless design?! TIA 🤍

The Joseon Naval Training Map (Joseon Sugun Joryeondo) is a historical painting depicting the joint military exercises of the Joseon Dynasty's navy. Painted mostly around the 19th century during the Yeongjo and Jeongjo eras, it holds immense academic and historical value, vividly capturing the naval ship formations, tactical systems, and military uniforms of the time.

Today, I created a patch featuring the Turtle Ship located at the very front of this map. I made it in two different versions: Night and Day.

my machine doesn’t have a thread trim option unfortunately, even though i programmed it into the file. all it does is stop, so all my thread trims between each and every line of each and every letter, had to be manually done. you can clearly see the thread trims too, so any recs on very small, very sharp scissors would be greatly appreciated.

however, because this took so long, do i dare attempt the background and potentially ruin the design? i’ve also split the background up into 84 stops in case anything goes wrong. i think the background would help hide the thread trims too, since the background is so busy. what do you think?

I’ve attached a photo for example purposes.

Machine/ Brother NV880e

I sat for around 10 hours last week, doing a test stitch of every tension from 2.6 - 5 in my machine. I can not for the life of me, figure out why my bobbin is showing on top.

I’ve finally got the backs of the stitch looking ok. I’m using a thin shirt fabric and doubling up on ‘invisible’ mesh stabiliser on the back. This is happening with every design I do.

I have changed from self winding bobbins to brotherhead prewound bobbins. I have cleaned the bobbin holder, tried adjusting the bobbin tension so it falls down when holding it in your hand with a tug, but smoothly falls none the less. This happens on any fabric. Please please help as I have literally followed every tutorial and manual and I still can’t get it right 😭

Just a note, I have also tried a tear away stabiliser but to which was no different either & I have tried 3 different needle types. I can also post example photos of satin stitches that I did last week but this is the example from this morning.

3 tension so the best, but it’s still pulling quite significantly

Who doesn't love puff?

Good week for everyone!!

Hey all, i'm qite a beginner, so excuse if this is a dumb question. I have a Janome Memory Craft 100E and design in InkStitch. When making satins, every once in a while i get these strage loops. What am i doing wrong?

I just got my embroidery image downloaded today and I see that they used madeira-rayon-40-thread to determine the colors. I have the Ever Sewn Simthreads 63 set and the color numbers are not even close. Is there a system in place for converting one set of thread number/colors into another to be as close as possible?

i created a small test piece just to test bobbin tension, because i adjusted it during some troubleshooting. in the second picture, the blue circle shows the bobbin tension being way too tight, and the red circle shows the new bobbin tension (as pictured in the first image). however, the design still looks kinda lumpy. the tension of the top thread is just set to the embroidery setting, but a smidge looser. is my bobbin tension still too tight or is this an upper thread problem now? thanks!!
