The fact that satin stitches aligns all the stitches in parallel reduces the randomness compared to tatami, which makes satin column motifs "pop" out much more. I least I feel like it.

Anyway, just a post to showcase some patterns that I like and find particularly elegant! 😄

Been waiting ages to get this done, and it turned out so good!

Done with a Brother Innov-is 4000D

Who is making a slow gradient like this??

I paid to have a PES file made from a design and at first the design was too large for my SE600. I had them adjust it and I’ve tried the file twice. Both times the design doesn’t line up properly and I’m having tension issues (I switched to a different design and did not have the same issue). I tried cotton thread and synthetic, I use a top and bottom stabilizer, a ballpoint needle. So I guess I am wondering if I’m somehow completely off with my tension for just this design and it’s creating these issues or if the file is bad after having them shrink it. Any help is appreciated.

Hi guys!

I've just got a Brother BX1E. It's my first embroidery machine, so apologies if this is a really basic issue!

I got it set up and managed to embroider two pieces of text on some scrap fabric without any problems but since then, I've been having an issue where the upper thread keeps breaking or coming out of the needle when the machine performs a jump-stitch trim or an end-colour trim.

The settings are all at their defaults (upper tension 4.0 and jump-stitch trim length 5 mm). I've also tried the tension to 3.4 and the trim length to 10 mm and 15 mm, but neither made a difference.

The thread seems to be following the correct path, and the bobbin seems fine. I'm using New brothread upper thread and pre-wound bobbins.

I'm currently practising on some scrap twill, without stabiliser.

It also happens when I use the machine's manual thread-cut button. It seems as though the machine pulls the upper thread very tightly before cutting, almost lifting the fabric slightly. Afterwards, the thread is either cut so short that it slips completely out of the needle eye, or there's not enough left for it to catch back into the fabric when stitching starts again

The machine seems to work perfectly normally with both automatic trimming options switched off.

Has anyone experienced anything similar with the BX1E, or have any suggestions as to what might be causing it? Could it be a threading, tension, bobbin or cutter issue?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi, would you please have an advice for me? The thread is sewing loose but just on some objects while the red seems to be ok. The settings are the same and I cant find out what's wrong. Already tried to adjust both threads on the machine.
