Almond,
were the courses easy to follow? I like the idea since I am a hands-on and visual person. I don't know of one person that I know of that owns an embroidery machine :( I figured for the price it wouldn't be so bad. |

I've heard a lot of people talk about this class and normally it's really good and you learn a lot. If I learn nothing all that thread, the designs and stabliziers, etc it'll be worth a wasted trip but I'm expecting good things.

Ok here is a site new to me and it has lots of freebies on it...has anyone used this site before. http://free-embroidery-designs.com/c...ellaneous/pga1

I'm so frustrated and disappointed. :( My brother pe 770 does not, I repeat does not like the embroidery threads from threadart! I am now stuck with over 100 spools and can't do a darn thing with 'em.
What embroidery threads do you use or suggest? TIA |
I have a brother 1500d that I don't embroider with near enough. I don't seem to be able to find enough time to just play around and experiment. I have done towels for gifts and I've embroidered on the grand childrens clothes but really haven't used it enough. How does everyone find time to just sew. How is this chat going to work as I'm interested in getting to know others and learn some new tips. I usually just read the firsr page of what's new so would this be done through a forum or a pm or live chat or what.

I haven't used my embroidery machine in a few months. But I signed up for a fq block swap recently and I may end up using it for some of the blocks.

Hmmmmmmmmmm now you have me thinking. Where would I find these needles? If these work, I need to cancel my order with MrVacandMrsSew as I just placed an order for the Polystar thread, as I do have some along with some brother thread and those work perfect in the machine. Debating big time. I would hate to cancel and still have the problem.
Thanks for the advice and please let me know where I can find those type of needles. |

Sharon, before you give up on your thread, try changing your needle to Organ Needles top stitch 75/11. I also have a PE-770 and was having a heck of a time with various threads. They kept shredding like crazy. Then Quilty-Louise suggested the needle change and I haven't had a problem since. Not even with metallics!
I am also going to give the needles a try. Will be watching this to see where I can get them. Thanks, Mary |

I have several embroidery machines - my first one is a Brother PE700 (this in my opinion is a peice of junk, sitting in a box) the second one I purchased was Janome, can't remember the model, I gave this to my niece and she uses it regulary, my third one is the Bernina 440EQ, have used it for over 2 years for just embroidery, than I made the switch tp becoming a quilter. My most recent purchase is the Singer Futura that HSN sells, have not had to much luck with this one, at Easter was trying to make the baby a free standing lace basket and on the last panel, the machine chewed up the whole panel and bobbin. Haven't touched this machine since, went back to QUILTING!!! Getting back to the embroidery, I do remember the machines being very picky and the thread used, I found Isacord about the best to use on all the machines. Also after 7 to 8 hours of stitching time, change the needle.
