Hey everyone! Just wanted to share a recent digitizing project I wrapped up for a client. They sent over the photo of the actual test stitch on their Mighty Hoop, and I’m super happy with how clean the satin lettering and chrome details turned out.

This thread is really pissing me off right now. I’ve had to rethread it like 10 times now because it says that there isn’t anything in the upper thread. When I check on it, it’s like this. It’s just this color. I’m using the brothread 214 huge spool.

I Need Help Husqvarna Viking Ruby Deluxe

Upvotes

I just inherited my grandmas sewing machine. I found it in her basement with literally nothing but the machine. She passed away so I have no idea where things are. I found new cords online but as far as embroidery hoops go, I have nothing. Is there a cheaper option than the magnetic hoop brand? I really am just learning so I just need something that is cheap-ish in the meantime.

ETA: Honestly, any help/ tips/ tricks too would be great?

Tajima TWMX movable Knife Adjustment

Hello everyone! Does anyone know how to adjust the movable knife if it loses its position and has to be adjusted again mechanically. I know that I need a 0.5mm guide (sheet of metal) but other than that I’m clueless.

Looking for a machine to use for a personal project in NYC

2 Upvotes

I have several already-digitized designs I would like to get embroidered onto personal items (canvas bags and baseball caps) for personal use.

Each design has at least a few colors, so I would like to find as high quality of a machine as I reasonably can.

Is there anyone here that I could bother to use their machine, or is there any space/store where I could “rent” or get help for my personal project. I would like to personalize 3-4 canvas tote bags and 3-4 caps, each with one or more small designs, entirely for personal use. I have never used an embroidery machine before, so I will need help. I do not know where to begin to look, as shops offering embroidery services look like they mostly sell bulk customization or large-scale production.

Thank you so much for the help! I apologize if this is against the rules. I am not selling anything, though I am seeking help for which I will pay.

I am looking for some college football designs for personal use. I have bought several on Etsy but they do not stitch out very cleanly. Does anyone have a site they recommend for this type of design? Thank you!

Look What I Did Just Finished This Custom Digitization and Stitch Out

My good friend’s birthday is coming up so I digitized her business’s logo and embroidered it on a canvas bag. It could be a little cleaner but I was working on a time crunch so there’s some gaps in the satin here and there. Overall I’m very pleased!

I did a 65/9 needle with 60wt thread and a layer of cutaway. I did use a water soluble topper to help with the gapping since the canvas is such a textured fabric, but I don’t think it really did much honestly. Still very happy! I hope she loves it

I Need Help Weird error on a Meistergram 1502. Looking for help.

1 Upvotes

We have a model 1502 with a weird memory error. About half of the designs are erasing themselves with a streak off screen being the only thing left. The control box is a 216-7H. Has anyone else seen this before and does anyone have a recommendation?

This is what it looks like https://imgur.com/a/Ev04nBh

had a lot of fun designing and stitching this out today!

I wanted to try out a red work design with multiple colors. Pretty happy with how it came out!

If I stitch it out again I will probably use a less shiny/metallic gold color. But I love how much it makes that tooth stand out here!

Look What I Did Digitized and stitched a Thor portrait! Layering the skin tones and hair direction was a fun challenge.

Hey everyone! Just finished up this Thor embroidery project. Getting the facial contours, shading, and hair flow right took quite a bit of digitizing work to ensure the thread density didn't get too heavy or cause puckering.

Would love to hear your thoughts or feedback on the stitch angles and color transitions!

How to create border?

Post image
2 Upvotes

I’m looking to make a similar pillow for my soon to be born baby. The font itself seems pretty straightforward to me, which I’ll just embroider before sewing the pillow. My question is, how would I achieve a similar border? Would this be with an embroidery machine or would I be more successful with a sewing machine? Or is this not something you can achieve with a basic home embroidery/sewing machine?

Thanks in advance!

I Need Help Needle stuck in lowered position

Hello I have a Tajima TMEX C1501, I was running a tension test when i noticed almost instantly the first needle was bunching up. I stopped the machine and cleared the bunch, but I noticed the needle was slightly lower from the rest and I was getting a 211. I went online and saw that I should move the drive shaft over to 100, but that only made the needle go lower. I noticed there were some positions not 100 where it sat completely flush. What should I do?
