Questions and Answers about embroidery machines

Hello, I have TAJIMA TMFN-1212 and once I had a error, the settings of heads and needles changed. I changed the settings, but every time when I turn on the machine I get a "3D1 Battery Irregular Signal (BAL1), detacted" error after acceptance, the machine is working properly (like on screen). How do I fix this error and remove it so that it does not appear anymore?

Trying to decide on a multi needle machine, probably at least a 10 needle. Something with larger hoops to do ITH projects, quilting and caps. Tell me what are some of the better machines and why.

Hi all! I'm a beginner, literally just purchased my first machine (Brother PE-770). I am literally wanting to hear about all of the ins and outs and secrets that you're willing to give! I will probably mainly use the machine for monograms and such for myself, daughter, and other family members until I get used to it to be able to start an in-home business. Where do you find monograms to use? And how to create them as well? Every tutorial I see just starts with the design/monogram already being on the flash drive. Again, ANY information would be great. Thanks everybody in advance!

Recently I have been having trouble getting PED Basic to bring in some new files I have purchased. I have been doing this about 7 years now and have not had this problem until now. Designs are from 3 different digitizers. The files have been downloaded to my computer but PED Basic will not bring them in. I download as zipped and extract them to a folder on my desktop titled PES. Can anyone help that may have had this problem? I have downloaded the most recent version of PED Basic already. Thank you

Hello, I have Tajima TMFX-904 and using a disk reader TFD II. When loading a program it will only read up to 518 stitches and then stops. Has anyone had this issue and if so, what did you do. I have tried every button on the machine and nothing happens. I use the same disk reader on my 12 head Tajima and it works fine. So it has to be something with the machine. Can I reset the machine to its original settings without needing a disk. Thank you Wendy

I recently purchased a used Janome memory craft 9700. I got a cf memory card and an ata adapter, I formatted it then tried to use it in my mac but the mac won't recognize the card when it is formatted for the janome, i then formatted it for the mac and the plugged it into the janome and its giving the memory card error and asking if i want to format it. Has anyone else had this problem? is there a solution for it? I have embrilliance software and have successfully used designs I have saved on the mac and emailed to a friend to put on the memory card but I would like to avoid that step if I can

Hi everyone, I'm new around here, so if this is in the wrong place or has already been answered please take the according action! My mom has a Pfaff Creative 2124 embroiding machine and I was wondering if it would be possible for me to get her to embroid T-Shirts for me. I'd obviously just buy the shirts, then I'd get a simple design from the internet and we'd put it in the machine and she could do it. My problems come in the fact that I'm not really sure how to get the design from the internet jpeg to a format that her machine will understand and use. So my questions are: Is it even possible for the Pfaff Creative 2124 to do what I'd like it to do? …

Hi Anybody do training on brother pr1000e in the uk other than stocks

Created a simple text design and exported the PES. Copy the PES to the machine and there's no thumbnail to select it. So I'm stuck. Other designs from elsewhere work. I can see the file is actually on the machine. Does anyone know how these thumbnails get there and what could be wrong? Has anyone used Drawings SNAP with the Brother machines successfully?

I have a brother pr1000e and have purchased a wide hat hoop. I have sewed my first hat on this and about 3/4 through the design the machine got off of track and moved to the right. Nothing bumped against the machine so don't know why it would have done that. Has anyone else has this problem?? what should I do??

stitches looping and even tearing stabilizer ...is the bobbin case loose or fit tight

So my Brother SE400 is all of the sudden not filling in the letters it embroiders correctly. Hoping that maybe by the pictures you might be able to tell me what's happening. Some details: I've successfully used this design before (third picture of red initials is correct). I bought the font off of etsy. The only difference between the red initials and my incomplete black ones is that I changed thread brands from Coats & Clark to Sewology (Coats & Clark is a cheap brand from Walmart, Sewology is supposed to be nicer?). I was using a 4 on the tension dial and also changed to 3 and 2 in trying to fix the problem. Thoughts? Surely someone else has had this …

Hello Here are some times I want to redeem myself a little jewelry. I have currently a Janome MB4 (which always fails and I use little in the end because of that, I'm always afraid that I loose at work) and a smaller Janome MC9900. Although I embroider for my pleasure, I'm frustrated for not being able to make more patterns (when one is passionate we always want more lol) when embroidering clothes back for example. At the moment I am quite limited, again, my biggest machine that owns 4 needles and would love to move to 15 needles, yarn change in the end it is quite tedious, what a waste of time. By searching online, I came across HAPPY brand that offers very interesting p…

I spend hours trying to get a reproducible method of downloading a design I have bought turning it into a Jef format and transferrin to a USB stick that can be read in my machine. I`m using the Data 7 viewer and the Data 7 converter both of which seem to be operating fine with the designs appearing in them.. I make sure the formatted stick first goes into the machine and an EMB5 bit added. Must the machine fomat the stick first or can I do this first?
