I inherited my mom’s Brother NV4000D embroidery machine and want to learn to use it. The Brother dealer wants $50/hour and I can’t afford that. Mother used to go to weekly classes and I doubt she paid that much for them but she was in Colorado so I don’t know.
Your mother may not have paid that much, because the lessons where at the dealer from which she purchased the machine. Over the past years, prices have gone up for service and lessons.
When I purchase my first embroidery machine, there wasn’t anyone selling the machines who new very much about how to use the.
I learned at my own pace from Jeanine Twigg’s books.
The manual for the machine will show you how to operated the machine – read and follow the instructions carefully.
There are many sites where you can ask questions or view "conversations" among those who do machine and embroidery and they are always very helpful when it comes to a "newbie".
Try Machine Embroidery Essentials, How to Stabilize, Hoop and Stitch as well as a few visits to http://www.sewforum.com
One important caveat – never walk away from the embroidery machine while it is operating. A jam can throw off the timing and this is around a $90 fix.
Visit Ann The Gran for free designs to download as well as Sewforum and several other sites.
Ask about lessons in San Diego at Ann The Gran. There is at least one person on the forum in CA, but I am not sure of the city.
You might also ask the same at sewforum.
Additional information –
Your machine embroidery format is pes.
According to this ad, the 4000 has been discontinued, but it does have the USB port for easy transfer of downloaded designs from the PC to the embroidery machine, but a limited embroidery area of 8" x 4". Another plus – it is a combo (sewing as well as an embroidery machine).

I would also like to know what embroidery software I can use for different sewing machines as well.
Well, I do not want to spend over $1000.00. My husband might have a heart attack if he knew that I said that, but I really want a good one that will sew and embroider.
It is so hard for me to choose a Best Answer because you have all been so helpful.
I have the Brother 270d. It is a little work horse. It does bother embroidery and sewing. It comes with a set of built in designs, including some Disney patterns. You will want to get the PE Basic so you can embroidery patterns that you download offline. You can find some sites with nice free ones – they are samples to entice you to buy their sets. I really like www.bunnycup.com (sorry for the tangent).
You do not need embroidery software to use the Brother 270d. You can begin embroidering and sewing right away.
You will want to get other necessities (stabilizer, thread, and maybe some more needles). The machine comes with a set of needles to get you going though.
The types of stabilizer and thread you use does not matter, though some are easier to work with than others. Do not let the price shock you – I use discount coupons from Jo Ann’s and Hobby Lobby to get mine. The spending in this department will be high initially! Again, this is why for a beginner I recommend the Brother 270d.
Costco has it on sale for $389.99 and it comes with the PE Basic. Wal-Mart sells this machine for $350. I got mine from my local Brother dealer for $500, but they threw in 1 year in store maintenance and free classes for life.
I hope this helps. True the other machines can do more, but you are paying more than double to price (and some of them do not sew). For a beginner, this is the best machine at the best price! Good luck!
I am a beginner at embroidery and love what can be done with it. For the life of me though, I cannot get my stitches even and consistent so it always looks like a two year old did it. Any suggestions?
If you are doing free-hand embroidery – make a visual pattern with a self-erasing (air disappearing) pen. You can mark even intervals for the stitches – use a ruler if you need to.
There are a huge number of pre-printed embroidery patterns that you can download for free and use for your embroidery. Use a light-box and transfer to your material and indicate where each stitch is to begin, end.
I often use my pinky finger nail to measure where the next stitch is to be taken so as to make my handwork stitches more even.
If you are doing work on an even fabric – a cross stitch fabric – evenweave – linen – then you can count the number of threads for each stitch.
If you are doing cross stitch as the stitch — be sure to count the number of threads, squares. Make sure that the thread goes in flat — untwist the thread while still in the air — I use something called a laying tool (a small dull pointed long cylindrical metal tool) to make sure that the thread lies perfectly flat for each stitch – yes, I admit, I am a perfectionist!

Im trying to find a website to download free fonts for singer futura 150. Anyone know some sites.
Not many fonts are free, but there are many designs available for downloading that may have a few and other for sale.
You need to know the format of your embroidery machine. If the designs do not come in the format you need, there is a free software program where you can convert to the format needed.
Set up a folder on the hard drive of your PC and name it embroidery downloads.
Select the designs you want to download – these are usually referred to as files.
Save to your embroidery folder.
Most downloads are zipped it will look like a file with a zipper. To unzip, mouse over the design file to highlight.
A mini screen will come onto the screen. Select open, unzip or extract.
This is the file you will be working with and the zipped file can be deleted.
If you need to convert the format, download Pulse Ambassador.
Open the file in PA and save in the format you need.
One of may sites – http://apexembdesigns.com/
You have to join this site (free) and then choose Download Designs from the tool bar. All the designs that have a download icon are free to everyone. All are free to those who are members of Ann’s Club. The designs are .pes format and may have to be converted to the format used by your embroidery machine. http://www.annthegran.com/
To search and review the thousands that are available, put free machine embroidery designs in the web search box at Yahoo or google.
I have a 525S Janome machine and need to fit the free style embroidery foot. Idiots guide please 😀
Thanks in advance!

The darning foot is then attached to the presser foot bar with the screw from the adapter.
