I am doing a complex design and can’t seem to find which color thread that correspond with the numbers my embroidery machine is giving me even though I have looked through the manual and read. I will read it again. Model is Brother SE 270D. Meanwhile, Any ideas?
there is a computer program specifically for cross matching thread numbers. right now the site <a href="http://www.designsbysick.com/amember/go.php?r=5647&i=l0">Designs by SiCK Embroidery Library</a>
is running a good sale and doing a group buy for the program. go take a look it’s a great program if you want to use specific colors.
good luck,
deb
I have a ton of excess denim from making a purse out of my friends never woren jeans she got rid of. Now I decided to make a bracelet with embroidery… how do I do it with a sewing machine? Also, have any other ideas on what to do with the scraps?
Sure, you can do free-motion embroidery with any machine. You need to drop the feed dogs or cover them in order to do it, but that’s easily accomplished. Best beginning book I know of is Robbie and Tony Fanning’s Complete Book of Machine Embroidery — you’ll probably have to get it from your library, as I believe it’s now out of print. Want to knock your socks off? Check to see if your library has a copy of Singer Instructions for Art Embroidery — everything in the book was done on a straight stitch treadle machine, and it’s gorgeous.
Here’s a professional free-motion embroiderer at work:

I have a Janome Memory Craft 200E. I have never used an embroidery machine before, so this is all greek to me! What format do the designs I purchase/download need to be in?
If this is your machine – http://www.allbrands.com/products/abp13701-0160.html
You need the jef format.
If you find designs that you like, but they are not jef, you can convert them by using Pulse Ambassador. This is a free software download used by many machine embroiderers.
http://www.pulsemicro.com/ambassadordownload
Before you download designs, create a folder on the PC’s hard drive and name it Embroidery or something you can easily recognize.
When you download a design, select SAVE and the folder you created.
The design file may be compressed or zipped – you will have to open this before sending to the embroidery machine.
Highlight the design file and select open or extract. You will now have two files; the zipped file and the open file. You can delete the zipped file.
If the file has to be converted to jef, open Pulse Ambassador and find the design file. Open and then SAVE AS using the jef format.
Make sure the designs you download are within the limitations of the embroidery machine – this is usually signified by the size of the hoop.
Back up your embroidery folder to flash drive or cd every time you add or make a change. This will ensure the saftey of the folder should the PC go wonky and loose you hard work.
It is also a good idea to have a catalog program so you can see the designs – Windows cannot read machine embroidery designs.
You can check Embird, Buzz Tools or Ann The Gran for this software. ATG has a demo you can download and try for a limited period of time.
Embroidery Library has several free tutorials, videos, tips & techniques that are very helpful.

I have a Brothers embroidery machine, and im trying to figure out how to digitize images. I have no idea where to start, which program do i need? where do i get it from? Is there a easy to read manual for digitizing? im not experienced, any help will be great!
digitizing takes alot of work to learn. there are many yahoo groups devoted to machine embroidery. embird is a very good program and many people use it. they do give you a 30 free trial period so you can try it before you buy it. the site is www.embird.com
i have the pe-design version 4 which is the software specifically for the brother machine. it is expensive but will do alot. i also have fancyworks studio by pantograms. i really wish i would have upgraded my embird instead of purchasing fancyworks.
i would sugest joining some yahoo groups about machine embroidery and reading there before you purchase the software.
do you have a way to transfer embroidery designs from the internet to your machine? the ped-basic is an inexpensive program that will let you use designs you purchase or get free from the internet.
i wanted to share a couple of my favorite sites with you.
