  1. Started by laceyjaye22,

    Hi there! I apologize if I'm repeating but I'm just not sure what I should be searching for in the forums. I'm new to embroidery. All of the preprogrammed items looked great. Once I started trying to use the Brother PE software, this is all I get from them. Is looks like the bobbin thread is coming up? Not my top thread. I'm just not sure what is happened. No matter what fabric I put in there or the setting for fabric, it looks like this. I googled and adjusted the thread tension. I'm just not sure what I'm doing wrong. The SVG I made is pretty simple. Not too many points. The running stitch seems to fine. It's just the fill? I've been stepping through t…

  5. Hi folks, My mother has a couple of the brother PE (?) machines, one is the 190 and I can't remember the other one, though it has a card slot if that helps? Now we have a PED Basic card reader but obviously we would really like to be able to do some custom designs and write them onto some blank cards we have. There is obviously the PE Design Next card writer, but these are quite expensive and we are on a pretty tight budget. I have been wondering if there are any alternative card writers that might not be as expensive? From what I've worked out so far, it seems that the cards used are the CF type, does this mean that it would be possible to use one of t…

  7. I have PE design 8 with the 8.3 upgrade and I run it on Windows 10. I also use embird with iconizer. This should show my embroidery files as picture thumbnails in PE design but it doesn't. I have tried everything but I can't fix it. Can anyone help? I'll put what I've already done below. I bought a new computer (which meant having to move the programmes in the first place) so they are installed on a brand new environment. I was installing a PE design 8 upgrade but after speaking to Brother and explaining my problem they thought the upgrade might be causing it so the sent me a PE design 8 full copy so that's what's now installed. My embird was 2018 so I updated …

  8. Hello my embroidery friends! I just made this embroidery design in PE Desing Next and as you can see, there are small spaces between each shape.. I am using "Remove overlap" or "Set hole sewing" to remove of shape under second shape - hope you understand . In PC this space is not visible, but after sewing yes . Please, is here someone who knows how to fix it? And the second question: as you can see, the outline of white and orange part is a little bit elsewhere and not exactly in shape. Please, hepl me! Greetings from Czech Republic!

  9. I am looking for a digitizing software to embroider and applique designs from clip art. Mainly my work shirts, lol. I was looking at Embrillance however it looks like I may have to invest in many modules to just get to that. I had a program for my old singer machine that worked great but I misplaced it. I now have a Brother machine so I need to digitize to a PES file. Open to any constructive suggestions. Thanks Ladies

    I have PE Design and can import pictures, objects etc by using the Image option. But it always seems to put a square etc around the picture which then becomes part of the embroidery stitch. How do I remove this and just have the actual shape of the picture. For example I want to embroider the outline of a feather. I can import the feather with Image, but it has a square around the feather.

  18. Hi everyone, This is my first time trying to learn about digitizing. Does anyone have any recommendations on how I would go about getting these designs digitized? I do not plan on buying digitizing software as I do not seem to find myself in need of it very often, but in this case I do. I am attempting to put together items for a fundraiser (for Orlando's Pulse nightclub survivors) and thought these would be perfect to embroider on some items. Any suggestions on low cost ways to do this would be greatly appreciated, the less I spend the more I can donate to the fund! Sincerely, April Lopez [email protected]

    Hello I currently work on a project and I'm stuck on a part. I would remove some of the replissage not superimpose two colors and make the pattern too thick. My problem is that I do not know how to do for selecting the area to remove. I do not want to remove any empty space, just some part to put other colors. I work with the next PED. thank you
