Brother PE 500
#21
I have a question about wash away stabilizer! Has anyone used the Vilene for FSL? I need to order more for a project and would like something a little more than the Solvy seems to be. So far Solvy is all I have used, but sometimes it doesn't hold up even doubled with some of the veil material added. Thanks for any assistance.

I would be careful about buying a machine at Walmart. A few years ago, a friend of mine purchased a Brother at Walmart. She had to take it in for servicing, and the service guy told her he wouldn't work on it. He said Brother makes a lower quality machine specifically for Walmart, and it is not the same quality Brother that is sold elsewhere.

Thanks Cari. I have the vilene on order and will pick up some more of the Solvy in town this coming week as well. In case anyone is looking for a sweet angel, check out Embroidery.com I am working a FSL angel again this year as special ornaments for special family and friends. I don't recall the name of the lady who designs these, but it's a group of 3 different sizes with Merry Christmas and the year across the banner on the angel. Love these. So pretty.

Cari, the vilene came in today! One angel down and not one hitch with the process! I think I am sold on vilene now. I doubled it, didn't use the veil material and it looks great.
Thanks for your input. Happy Thanksgiving to you and all.

I've been watching youtube videos of the Brother PE 500 in use. The word princess was embroidered so it does do words although it may take rehooping or something. I don't know anything about machine embroidery. Didn't watch the whole thing. When the kids get here to eat Thanksgiving supper I can probably talk my DD into going with me.
