    Shortcuts are not showing up after being saved. Tried to modify two groups with shortcuts but after I save them and bring up the group, it's still blank. When I go to change them, the icons are still in the group I set-up. I created a group of shortcuts on another machine and it works. So I know how to do it.

    I have an Ricoma EM1010 2019 year model. Can anyone tell me where I can find the total run time and stitch count. It's not in the menu-info area like one video I found online. Does this year model not keep track of those things?

    Hi all, I’m a complete beginner to embroidery and bought a machine second hand off of eBay to try to start myself off with designing my baby’s clothes and hopefully progress to starting my own business so I can provide for my little one and be more present! I bought a Silver CH03 wifi and have been able to set up connecting the wifi, patterns on the app etc and have tried to embroider but it tries to take thread and then says “EL” and the app says power overload! I’ve tried re threading the entire thing numerous times and it still says that, I don’t know if I’m threading it wrong, it’s another issue or the machine is faulty! Obviously if it’s faulty I need to know so…

  16. Hi, After having many troubles in starting my old machine (the build is 1992, I changed to electronic card so finally it works. Now the problem, according to me is how to communicate between the PC and machine. Any one has this machine ? If yes, then what to use and which system? I mean (MS-Dos or Windows and which version?) I have tried some which I found over the Net, but I get the "communication error #2" again and again on my machine. Actually I use Win 7 PC...USB to RS232... 9-25 pins ... original Toy cable machine I think the data is well exchanged but it is not enough to do the embroidery job ... Help is appreciated

    My brother PES770 is locked up. I have re-threaded the top. I have taken apart the bobbin area and made sure there was nothing there. I have reinserted the Bobbin and I have replaced the needle. I have also unplugged it and restarted it and it’s still locked up, I guess I just need to take it for servicing. it locked up after it made the grinding noise and I followed all the directions that the brother site said to do for that sound. Do you know of anything else that needs to be done?

    I am new to the embroidery business. My company mainly does websites. However, I have stumbled across owning a SWF/B-UK1202-45 machine in good condition. I have done 1 job on it, a continuation of the previous owner's work, and I had the file already on the machine to do it. The machine uses 3.5" floppy disks to load the .dst files onto it. The previous owner won't tell me his machines' age; he just said they are not modern. When I load the floppy disk onto my laptop running Windows 10 via an external USB drive, it says the disc is not formatted. I didn't want to format the only disk I had as I would lose the customer's design. I have a 3.5" to USB Emulator, but…
