Ok, I have a question for all you embroidery experts out there. What kind of stabilizer would I use with this? It's 100% rayon, texture and drape mimics pashima silk. If possible, I'd like to have a double sided design on the ends. Theorys, suggestions??

I have the Brother Babylock Embroidery Professional 6 needle.
It reads PES. I don't work on it much. Want to sell it really. |

I have a small paintbrush that I use to stick down in back of the bobbin area, and it catches dust bunnies in there like crazy. I do wish I could get new designs from the internet, but the converter box I'd need cost about $500, which is way too much for me, especially now that I've retired.

I just took my brand new machine in to the shop yesterday. Only
had it since January 13th, but the first time it got used was 9 days AFTER I bought it. Problem? the automatic thread fell off, it keeps breaking upper thread and just before the threader fell off the needle broke. They requested a RUSH to be done on the repairs so "hopefully" I will be able to get my machine back by Wednesday. |

For a converting program, I purchased a program from Logo Tools for $100. It is great and very reasonable. Tech support has been great each time my computer has crash or I've gotten a new computer, they have helped me install on another computer. I purchased online. You can google Logo Tools. |

I have this same problem with my Babylock Esante. The first one that I got had this problem and it is in the shop and the loaner that they gave me, same model, has now done the same thing. Just wondering if yours is the same model.... Thanks for any info! CherylW |
The machine that went in the shop for repair is a Brother Innov-Is 1500D.
They just called me about 30 minutes ago and said the machine was ready to be picked up. Now that is what I call "RUSH" service lol. I just took the machine in on Saturday, and the repairs techs do not work on the weekends. Not to mention that they do not open until 9am, and it is just now 10.25am. He said that it is something that does happen on occasion with the automatic threader falling off. Although with my other Brother emb machine this has never happened in the 5+ years I have had it. He also told me the was a massive "nest" of thread bunched up around the upper tension area and even though I had taken the cover off the machine to clean it, it was in an area that I would not have been able to see anyways. As for the needle breaking, he did not find any pieces inside the machine, but also did not know that the needle had broken, so he was going to take another look to make sure it was "clean" of needle pieces.

I have a Janome 11000 and a Janome 10000 ...love both machines. I have made many quilts-king size, queen size, and baby quilts. There are so many designs to purchase or digitize yourself. I am embroidering blocks for a dresden plate at this time. I purchased the 10000 a few years ago and now "advanced" to the 11000 for size of hoops and other advantages. Both have been excellent machines and no problems. I did have a Brother 4500D , but sold that just recently as the Janomes are my favorite. (That's just my opinion). I'm also making In The Hoop mug mats and 'little' things like that...fun, fun. Enjoy your machine, so many things to make.

QuiltyLouise,
I ordered the hoop grip tape and waiting for it! Saw a tut on it and looks like it will solve my alignment problems! I'll let you know how it works for me. Hope you have your machine fixed and ready to roll! I was at my babylock dealer in Sarasota, FL and had my eye on the ellageo 3 but even if i tried trading it in it would be too much :( Maybe I'll hit the lotto... |
