I’ve had this machine for about 4 years and it’s just horrendous with the amount of issues that happens with it. The current issue is that the touch screen is just totally unresponsive. It’s happened in the past but usually just works itself out, this time it’s been a few days and it’s concerning. Seeking out anyone who may have had this issue and fixed it, maybe even any touch screen issue fix on any machine could be helpful. Thank you

had my laptop stolen while in Paris a couple of weeks ago, it's what I did all my designs on using wilcom. still have a tab at home with pressure sensitivity and a pen but I'm struggling to find a software that actually lets me make designs, only ones that have preloaded designs I can use which for my work is beyond useless. any recommendations?

Design is just block letters with a fill. I did some online searching but never did find a recommended stabilizer, thread & needle combo for this fabric. It's uncoated 1000d Cordura, I'm using a poly thread and an 80/12 topstitch needle. Tear away stabilizer, although I'm not sure I needed anything. I'm getting loops of the top thread on both the top and bottom where the fill changes directions. I'm going to use the piece as is, it's not for anyone else and it's unimportant that it's not perfect for this use, but I do have a second piece to make with the same design and I would like to improve if I can.

Any ideas or suggestions? I have smaller 75/11 embroidery needles, assorted microtex sizes or jeans needles also. I'm more limited on thread, I only have other colors in this same brand in poly, and one neon green spool of Coats & Clark poly, everything else is rayon which I'm not really wanting to use outdoors but would be willing to try. I could also wind a matching bobbin, or I have a more slippery poly bobbin thread instead of the Sulky bobbin thread I'm using which is kind of matte.

Hi guys!. I'm new in embroidery and I am a little confused with the tension stuff. I did de H Test but I don't know what to do about it. Can you give me a little advice?

Hi :) I’ve been getting better at machine embroidery but i can’t seem to avoid puckering on performance wear like polyester and dri-fit shirts. How can i fix this ?? Also, pls excuse the wording as it is a Lana Del Rey song😭😭

Newbie embroiderer here. I have downloaded some files for embroidering onto kids clothes, but discovered they were applique.

Can I skip any steps in the applique process to make it a normal embroidery onto a jumper?

Hi, I've been learning and started a digitization piece for a friend's machine. I do not know yet the machine, parts or threads he will have. Even if I get those details- What do I need to be aware of while creating

Folks,

A couple years ago I got this machine and quickly learned that people have issues running Futura 3 software on their Win10 computers. I encountered this problem too, and found some posts in this subreddit (like this one: https://www.reddit.com/r/Machine\_Embroidery/comments/zy9n94/i\_pulled\_my\_singer\_futura\_ce150\_embroidery/) where folks chose to run a VirtualBox. Defeated, I opted to downgrade an old PC to Win8.1 to run the software.

That computer is long gone and I have another embroidery project, so I have tried to once again run it on Windows 10 - and I was successful! Here is the log of things that I tried and why they didn't work, but first, here is the way it *does* work:

1. You need to orginal Futura Software disk. Don't have it? Good news, I made an iso for you from my disk, linked here:

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1xLujVO1VafAJubkrKc57qI-Z5OVQ6BBN?usp=sharing

2. You need the Futura 3.0.1.3 update from Singer. I have included this exe file in the drive link above. It took a significant amount of effort to find this update file, as the futura software does not search for updates automatically bc it's awful abandonware, and you can't even get the software to open without it recognizing the machine connected via USB, so you're stuck. I found this software after scouring the internet and finding my way into an old, unmaintained page from Singer here: https://www.futura-support.com/products/ce-150/software

3. Plug in the USB to your machine and your PC and turn your embroidery machine on. Go to Device Manager, find the Jungo/CLEM device or "unknown usb device", and uninstall the device and remove the driver. This is what mine looked like:

4. Turn off your embroidery machine.

5. Run the ISO in the drive link above to install Futura 3; you may already have this installed on your computer, just let it do its thing. To run an ISO, right click and select Mount. It'll open the files.

5. Double click on FuturaStart and let it install.

6. DO NOT UNMOUNT THE FUTURA DISK YET. Run the Futura Update program in the Drive link.

7. Unmount the disk now. Turn on your machine and you should now see this in device manager:

Things that I tried but didn't work:

1. Running in compatibility mode. This is because the drivers didn't install in windows 10 correctly.
2. Finding updated CLEM drivers on the internet and installing them. This is because it needs two drivers, as shown in the screenshot above. It needs clem and the win driver.
3. Manually installing the original clem and win drivers from the disk. They don't install correctly because the clem driver has unsigned inf files. These are a security risk so windows rejects them.
4. Attempted to circumvent the unsigned inf files by putting the PC in test mode and installing a program to force install the drivers. Didn't work, not 100% sure why.
5. Installed a VM and tried to run this on windows 8; it just takes too much know-how and is not a long term solution, frankly.

Happy embroidering.

Hey guys, so I have a brother 630s, and the pe design 11. I'm looking to see how many stitches it takes to embroider so I can account accordingly.

Also how are people getting those super neat Nike logos with anime characters? Is that copyright infringement? I suppose if you don't sell it, it isnt?

I'm buying an embroidery machine but I need to know which is best or what do you recomend: Brother Inno-vis NQ1700E or Janome Horizon Memory Craft 9850 I'm not a beginner, I like to make my own designs Thank you for your comments and information, Monica

so i have a budget of 15k AUD

Voltex vt1201s 12 needle - 10k my mum has this machine she likes it but its downside is that it doesn't stop when it runs out of bobbin thread, considering it as i can have it extremely quickly and im familiar with it but i think might not be worth babysitting it all the time

SWF MAS-12 - $15,850 slightly over budget but has a good reputation

Halo-100 - 10k 12 needles once again local but i dont know much about it

brother 6 needle - 13k good brand reputation but less needles and not as commercial

BAI - 12-15 needles and 7-10k delivered depending on what machine, good cost but id have to figure out repairs myself

I've also contacted Tajima and happy japan for prices

i did message my local barudan supplier too (but i have messaged multiple times in the past and only received "hi we will get back to you soon" or similar then never contact me again so leaning away from barudan already)

i would consider other brands but would love to hear recommendations.

My mom and I have been using her 10 needle Brother 1055x embroidery machine a ton lately. We recently had to replace the "Thread Presser Base Lower Assembly" and I think the issue started after, but it might have been before.

Here is the problem: when we try to center the design everything is off to the right by about an inch. When we scan the hoop with the on board camera it doesn't get the left edge in the image. We have been using a magnetic mighty hoop (I think by hoop master), but it doesn't matter if it is a brother hoop or the mighty hoop it has the same issue.

I'm going back later tonight to try and help trouble shoot some more, but we are getting very discouraged. We can't for nearly as many things in the hoop now.

Hi all. I am looking at buying a used ZSK sprint machine. It looks like it hasn’t been serviced in awhile and I’m having a hard time finding a service tech in the area. Does anyone know of ZSK tech in MA or New England area? Google search isn’t producing any results.

I bought a Janome 500e about 6 month ago to make my wedding dress, I have no complain about the machine except that it takes so much space and now that my dress is finished I probably won't be using it as much. It's currently taking over our dinning table and I have no where to put it.
Since my sewing machine is also an old Janome that my mother in law gave me, I was thinking of getting a sewing/embroidery machine, specifically the Brother Innovis 2700. My worry is that it won't be as good as a stand alone embroidery machine/ sewing machine and also if changing brand will cause me any headaches

Does anyone have any advices?

Im going to start this off by saying I received this machine second hand and have no warranty on it. So it doesn't happen everytime but sometimes when the hook tries to come out it sounds like gears grinding hard. The hook does not come out and the hook error pops up. It doesn't happen every time. But it will happen multiple times in a row then be fine for a little while. I took the side cover off and made sure the hook was in the proper position and everything was functioning properly, even greased the gears thinking that was the issue. Anyone else had this issue or know what could be causing it? I'm tempted to replace the whole hook assembly.

Anyone know what kind of stitch pattern this is? Every time I see a hat like this I love the look, just don’t know how to accomplish doing this look myself.

It’s 3D puff but it’s also so unique looking.

Thanks.

Does anyone have any input on 1) smoothing put stitching on the lettering and 2) why the letters on the right side continuously are not lined up? The pattern is NOT like that and it does this every time.

I'm trying to get in to embroidery for a new business idea and I'm not sure what machine I should get. I will mostly be making iron-on patches. I am also planning to embroider directly onto shirts, hats, socks, and hoodies. I'm mostly looking for a machine that can make the design automatically. I'd like to send a design over from the computer, load the materials and have it made.

Is there a machine like this out there? I would appreciate the help.

I have the problem mentioned in the title, how would I get access to the bobbin limiter from inside the machine after I accidentally unscrewed it too loose and it dropped down? The reason I accidentally did that was because the bobbin rewinder was not working for some reason and I was trying to disassemble the machine to see what was the problem, but it now seems that I'm not able to disassemble it (it seems like there are no service manuals either), and there is a machine part inside the machine which could break it if turned on, making the machine completely unusable.

As a sidepoint I'm completely new to embroidery and this happened when I was just trying to use the machine for the first time, so I have no experience disassembling sewing/embroidery machines (without instructions), even though I have some experience with other machines.

This is a question for the mods. I've been on sub's before that can reply with a photo that doesn't require uploading to a third party and then posting the link.

Is this function something we can turn on for this subreddit?

I ask this because a large portion of posts are asking for help and advice, and there are times I know I've wanted to show pictures for examples of stuff but don't necessarily have the time to devote to the whole process, and by the time I do, I have forgotten about the post. I feel like this is a sub that would benefit from that functionality.

Thanks for listening!

I have a Singer Quantum Stylist EM 200, and the lever that closes the frame broke. Does anyone know where I can buy it individually without the frame? I checked online, but they only have the complete package, which is too expensive and not worth it for me!
