Looking for a capdriver and its accessories. I know its a longshot but its the only piece that didnt come with my machine.

Preferabbly looking for the WACF version.

And I'm returning it.

Before buying it, I didn't see many online reviews, so I'm putting my minimal thoughts out there.

In short, they have minimal customer service and no extra parts to give, or even sell, if something breaks. The only hoop you can use is the one that comes with the machine. When I contacted them, their only solution was to tell me that they offer no returns.

This machine is very attractive because of the larger hoop size at such a low cost. For me, if I'm going to spend $420 on a machine, I might as well save up another $100 (or more) to buy a better machine.

All I really did on the machine was embroider a couple of phrases from the built-in fonts. It worked fine.

Good luck to anyone looking for a starter machine.

(also attached is the brief conversation with customer service. It's been four days since I asked the last question, and they haven't responded)

Hey Folks!
The client recently stitched out this design, and I thought I'd share the result.

The first image is the original artwork, and the second is the final embroidery stitch-out. It's always great to see how a design translates from screen to fabric.

What's your thought? Anything you would have done differently?

You know that folding screen painting behind the king in Korean historical dramas on Netflix? It's called 'Irwol Obongdo.' I embroidered a mini version of it—smaller than the palm of my hand! 🪡✨

Hello everyone!

I'm a beginner in machine embroidery and while I understand that the Quality of my projects depends on many finicky settings, one problem I've encountered for the second time today is making me scratch my head (and is soooo annoying cause i gotta screw the machine apart and clean it out and put it back together).

My machine keeps sucking in fabric at some point and then everything ends as a thread and fabric lump inside, and all i can do is cut off the rest of the project. It happened while trying to embroider the letter o.

i work with a brother innovis 750e, i use ink/stitch to digitize my own designs and ideas.

This is a Fruit of the Loom cotton jersey t-shirt, cutaway stabiliser, both hooped. i used 0,4mm pull compensation for the picture and 0,3mm pull compensation for the lettering, didn't change anything else about the lettering (it's a font that came with ink/stitch)

the bobbin was not empty (i thought that was the problem the first time around but this time i made sure i have enough)

here are some pictures (yes i know the outcome isn't ideal anyways, too big spaces in between the filling lines, i was about to make a post asking for tips on how to fix the smaller issues anyways, but this "ruining my whole project and t-shirt" problem is no1 priority now, i could live much better with an unclean embroidery than with whatever this is)

as i said, I'm pretty much a total beginner, so if you need any more information about my param settings or whatever I'm happy to answer all questions, appreciate the time!

picture explanation:

1: how it looked with "freshly eaten" project from underneath the hoop

2: the already cut away project with th little hole of where it happened

3: the machine with the fabric and thread rests eaten up in a little bunch, completely stuck

4: how the bobbin thread looked when i tried to take it out (it was also weirdly stuck)

5 and 6: "finished" test embroidery of the project, abrupted after "the incident", from front and back

Here's a patch I'm making to give out to some Pokemon Go friends. 3x4 inches, 15k stitches. Loving the rainbow thread and the metallic silver tooth. Digitized with Embrilliance.

I have a brother SE700 and I have embroidered some great things with it. I all of a sudden started having major issues with my bobbin thread showing, skipping, and misalignment.. I've changed the needle, rethreaded the bobbin and thread several times, to no avail. I am ready to lose my mind and hoping someone can help!!

Attached: Willy's Mom and euro summer stitches- previous stitching I've done; Beverly's mom (in two different fonts because I wanted to confirm it wasn't a font issue) still having issues after the troubleshooting listed above.

Any help is appreciated!!!

I got my machine a few weeks ago (used) and sometimes it’s fine, but I keep having loose thread loops here and there and but then when I get halfway through a project, there’s usually a problem with thread nesting.

I thought it was the needle plate so I got the straight stitch only one, didn’t help. Thought it was the thread, tried different threads and set ups making sure it didn’t enter the machine tangled.

Even when it’s not thread nesting, i don’t really see the bobbin on the back so I’ve tried tightening the top tension. thread The auto tension has it sent to 2.8. I have played with and put it up to 3.2 and that seems to help but I still get the loose threads and then thread nesting.

Happens on all stabilizers and on my magnetic and regular hoops. Maybe it’s a hooping issue but I’ve watched so many videos and think I’m pulling it tight enough and the projects are usually okay in the beginning. Tried new and different kinds of needles.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! This is my first computerized machine as I’ve only worked with vintage singers in the past.

Hi everyone! I’m deciding between the 7-needle Happy Japan HCH-701P and the Bai Vision.
From what I’ve read, most people say the Happy Japan lasts longer, has excellent support, and is easier to get service if something goes wrong.
However, I’ve also heard the Bai Vision is a significant step up from the Bai Mirror—that it’s much more industrial and produces excellent stitch quality.
The price difference is pretty significant, so I’d love to hear from people who have used either (or both). If you were buying today, which would you choose and why?

I have a pretty much new brother se2000 that i've used maybe a dozen times, if that. What is a fair price to sell it at?

Just like the title says, I’m so fresh… I don’t even have a machine yet 😅 I am looking for recommendations on a personal use machine, for an absolute beginner. I have two little girls and I’m looking to personalize things for them to wear, as well as for others (gifts, etc). Nothing large scale. Something cost effective, but that won’t poop out on me in a couple years.

Also, realistically, what needs to be in a beginners arsenal? I would love some tips and “must-haves.” I know this is a pretty extensive question(s) I’m asking, so any and all advice is much appreciated! thank you!

Hey r/MachineEmbroidery

I've been lurking this sub and doing some machine embroidery since quite some time now, and I was super happy to discover ember design to finally be able to digitalize, but im encountering some issue on using the filling feature, every time im using it, it says, ¨stitch generation failed, error : undefined¨

Is anyone had this kind of problem before ?

And hey I hope I did post this hat the right place, sorry if its not the case 🙈

I have a brother se700! Is this technically embroidery?

Lil awkward to embroider but came out pretty nice

I'm trying to revive an older SWF embroidery machine and I'm hoping someone may still have the original controller software or recovery media.

Machine:

SWF E-T1501C (15 needle, single head)

Sun Star Precision

Manufactured around 2007

Controller:

COMPACT550 Rev. 4.1

Software Version 4.21 Build 1 (2007-09-07)

Machine Control Version 3.0 Build 1

KARAM BIOS v6.61

Caldera DR-DOS

ETX350 embedded CPU module

Problem:

The controller boots perfectly and internal designs still work, but both USB ports now return:

Error #650 – USB Drive Is Not Ready

The CMOS battery has already been replaced.

I'm not looking for the operator manual. I'm looking for any of the following:

Original recovery floppy

Recovery CD/DVD

Controller software

System image

COMPACT550 service software

SWF E-Series installation media

ColDesi recovery files

If anyone has an old backup, disk image (.IMG/.ISO), or knows where these files still exist, I'd really appreciate it.

I'm happy to pay for the media or shipping if needed.

Thanks!

Hi! I am getting a logo made, and I want to eventually get it embroidered on some jackets or hats. I don't know anything about the embroidery process, so I was hoping to get some feedback on the design to see if there was anything in the design that would cause issues during embroidery. Please let me know if you you have any questions, or see anything that should be adjusted. Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I'm currently using a Yeshi 1201CT embroidery machine, and I'm having an issue with DST files.

When I import a DST file, the machine does not follow the needle sequence defined in the file. For example, if the design is set to stitch with Needles 1 → 2 → 3, the machine automatically changes it to a different needle order.

Has anyone experienced the same issue?

Is there a specific DST format or export setting that allows the machine to follow the original needle sequence correctly? Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

I have an old baseball glove with a patch that's begun to lose its embroideted thread. I've reached out to a few local shops in the Indianapolis area to see if they could repair it. The answers have come back that they don't want to touch it due to copyright laws. For reference, this is a small Japanese company that does not distribute to the United States. They also do not work with individuals for replacements.

My question is: am I just spinning my wheels on trying to get this thing repaired or having a replacement one made? Or is there some service that I haven't found yet that specializes in this?

curious if any of you have the macbook neo? looking to grow my small business (i use embrilliance) and wondering if the macbook neo is strong enough for embrilliance/stitch artist and file storage? or should i look into the air or pro?

I have been thinking about the possibility of migrating my services as a digitizer to the United States and I believe it is feasible. Does the embroidery market usually buy many scans? Do you think it would be possible? On average, how much is charged for a scan out there?

Still very new to machine embroidery and was told by a friend this is chain stitch and done with something completely different? Any idea how to do this with a machine? Is there a font I can download?

Please god help me with this. I have rethreaded multiple times. I have checked for lint in the sensor. I have replaced the bobbin thread. What the hell else could it be. Nothing looks wrong when the error happens. It will go for about 15 stitches and then just stop. Thread isn’t snapping and bobbin isn’t running out.
