Thread and Stabilizer

Which stabilizer you recommend?

Some information about embroidery threads, documentation, color chart, characteristics

Hi, I want to buy some of your embroidery designs. I couldn't find the kind of embroidery thread that I use. I use "Embroidery Machine Treads, TAO", it is polyester. As I guess you know about threads, could you tell me what kind of tread from your list is similar to the embroidery thread that I have? Thanks in advance for your help.

A while back someone posted that 40 weight thread is coincidentally .40 mm thick. I took this to be obviously incorrect. Not only is the measurement misleading the conclusion was arrived by laying a two pieces of 40 weight thread on a ruler and wa-la there you have it! The reason I questioned this other than the obvious kindergarten method of measuring was it seemed incorrect to me. So I contacted Ackermann to see if they had a more accurate measurement. The USA warehouse didn't have this information and referred me to Germany. Germany responded by giving me this information. Quote: Poly 40 weight thread is .24685 mm in thickness. Rayon is a little thinner. So now when…

Can someone please give me suggestions for stabilizer to use on dance leotards? They are 90% polyester / 10% spandex, and I'll be embroidering names on them. Thank you,

After upgrading to Tajima Maestro in V.12 and doing the latest updates I am still having trouble with the way some thread colors are represented. We us the RA palette and the darker colors like Mahogany continue to be displayed in existing designs and new stitching as the default color, a light pink called Pink Cascade. We have tried to edit the thread chart and reinstall the database. No go. Still pink. We have custom colored the miscreant colors and tried to immediately use the new coloration. We saved the thread chart and rebooted. Nothing works. So what gives Pulse? What is the answer? I show my designs to my customers on the screen and they can't imagine that the pi…

Anyone know where I can find a supplier for AQUA FILM EXTRA Topping? I need to purchase some in 4" x 150 yd. rolls. My old supplier no longer carries it. Thanks in advance!!!!

Not sure weather I can use a tearaway or must I use a cutaway. Its a left chest Company logo all text. Not sure if I want to see the backing inside the sweater. Not everyone buttons the sweater. Any suggestions Thanks

We are relatively new to the business and I have my first mesh backpack to embroider. I'm concerned about the lack of material to sew to. I don't want to use cutaway because of the way it will look after it's been trimmed since you'll still be able to see the material through the mesh. Is it as easy as using tearaway? Is there a secret to mesh and if so what is it?

What are the 15 most popular embroidery threads colors I need on my 15 color machine to start with? I figure Black, White, Red, Yellow, Brown, some shade of Grey, some shade of Green, Navy, light Blue, Dark Blue. What else are the 15 most popular colors I would use? Thanks for the input.

I'm having trouble with eliminating puckering on San Mar baby bib's. I've tried different weights tearaway, multiple sheets, etc. Also tried adhesive types. Was thinking about heat-away, but figured I'd ask the group in hopes of a quicker answer. Thanks in advance for your kind assistance.

Help! I have read articles to use a steamer to remove Solvy. I tried last week and it was a mess. The steps I did were; Tear off most of Solvy Put steamer to garment It was not working well therefore I rubbed it and it became a mess I'm not sure what I did wrong. Thanks in advance for your help.

Does anyone know where I can get a police style hat in hot pink?

We are doing big designs, we're setting up for the Irish Dance Dress market but doing spinoffs of the designs onto hoodies and sweats. Mainly using the 300 x 300 to 450x480 hoop sizes. The range of fabrics we are trying to set up for is rather large too, anything from woven to stretch knits and even silks and crystal organza. The celtic knotwork and similar open designs also tend to be quite gappy rather than a solid fill so there are many areas of backing left between stitches. For stretch fabrics (hoodies and sweats) we are currently using 2 crossed layers of a directional tearaway obtained from AJS (38g/m2) but it is far from perfect. There is too much stretch wh…

Hello community, I am having a problem with the thread coming out of the needle at the beginning of the run and between trims. The thread seems to be bunching up and eventually comes out of the needle. Any suggestions?

I have Brother PE-770 and struggling on problems related to thread breaking, nesting, and stabilizer. I am new to this forum and love all questions and answers here. I am still confused regarding the use of embroidery. I know, that learning and doing is different, especially in the case of embroidery. Absolutely, I read the embroidery manual but did not getting as many things. I am still looking for good suggestions or ideas to operate this Brother. Clearly, I am new to this monogramming world.I am looking this machine for just monogramming purposes. Please help me out!

I bought Brother PE 770, 6 months ago and I am new to this embroidery business. I have used sticky back stabilizer for those 6 months and it gave fantastic result. While using stick back the bobbin does not catches the top thread. I cleaned it yet I did not receive any result. I need help from you people.

I got Brothers SE 400 and struggling to learn for embroidery. I read lot of them online. I am new to this forum and would like to ask you all about better stabilizers for children's t-shirts. I heard about light, medium and heavy weight. Are they awesome to use? Please let me know.

Tell me about my machine that does not go through problem. I am really sucking up with threading problem on my Brother. It is going out of position. Needle and threads are not connecting each other. Can you help me?

I have a friend who is a beginner stitcher as I am, but she insist that you do not need to stabilize quilted fabric. I told her you do need it so the design doesn't shift. She doesn't want to waste time attaching stabilizer by ironing on or sticky stabilizer. I think she is just lazy and don't really care how the backside looks after stitching. Can you answer this question for me. I sometime double when stitching lighter weight fabric such as knits and t-shirt fabric.

Some one advised me to find a digitizer which sews a sample on same material as the client's actual order will be sewn on. Digitizers... do you do that? Years ago we would sew on material just like or similar to the orders our clients had.... we could afford to as left chest designs could begin at $150. BUT we still had to edit if the client needed an edit. Our singlehead sewed differently than their machine (even today a singlehead (nomatter the brand)) will sew differently than a 6 or 12 or any other combo machine. I believe it does not matter what we sew here in our office... it ONLY matters what happens at our client's place. So for us to do a sewout is prett…

I have been using metro thread after arc thread from melco since years.... was a big mistake because I get thread breaks all the time. Please tell me which thread brand always is the best option for high production? I use toyota,swf and melco machine. Thanks

Does anyone have any suggestions as to why my thread looks loopy. I'm embroidering in-the-hoop candy cane holders and when I put the back on, the thread looks like it has loops in it. Am I using the wrong stabilizer? I'm using fleece for both sides of the candy cane and iron on stabilizer.
