rosemary Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 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!

olive Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I have a Brother 2800 D. I think I can help you regarding the issues you mentioned here. About thread breaking and nesting, you can try out thread nests. For fitting in the spools, you can buy it in a roll or small pack. Quote Link to comment
olive Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Always remember to change your needle for functioning of the embroidery. You can get on a cheaper rate of 100 organ needles at Amazon. Quote Link to comment
rosemary Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 Hey, olive ! By the way, I encountered with “thread sock”. I am searching solution for it. Any suggestions are welcome. Quote Link to comment
olive Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 One suggestion for you, do not buy very cheap thread. It may degrade your machine. You need to try spool or two dissimilar brands of threads. Quote Link to comment
rosemary Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 Thread issues is sucking me up! I bought additional thread Polystar. And, appearing my machine did not like that one. And, look I am encountering with many problems. Last night, I went to JoAnn's and bought a spool of Sulky & Gutterman. But, still the situation is same. Quote Link to comment
olive Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Yup! Use a thread punch and observe its affect. Remember, thread only does not affect embroidery. There are many factors regarding it. Quote Link to comment
rosemary Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 Sorry, for bothering you. I am going to order it. There are so many constraints related to it. I am so glad to know about it. I am going to fix it. Quote Link to comment
olive Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Clear to say, I really haven’t heard of those Polyster one. If your machines stick on it, it is better to try another one. You mentioned about Sulky and Gutterman and it is problem creating. But, I do not seem so. I also bought Madeira and it is working absolutely fine. Recent thread which I bought was from DBS and look I don’t think it is problematic. You should go to the store and brands which you trust more and notes the problem you face. Quote Link to comment
sherry Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Ha Ha! I am always ready to help you. Yup! On the stabilizer stuff (put it simple: 1) average mass tear away, 10” broad. Using water soluble stabilizer (WSS) is awesome. If you talking about me, I think you don’t have to be particular regarding stabilizer. Quote Link to comment
rosemary Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 Polyster was recommended when I got this machine. Ok, I am not 100% sure if it is causing some malfunction to operate this machine. Well, I am not using this after knowing it. Quote Link to comment
sherry Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Also, I heard about the mega-hoops or junbo hoops. But, remember that does not work with PE770. Always make sure to use Brother Hoops. Quote Link to comment
rosemary Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 And, I am only using hoops of Brother. I got extra large hoops which came with my Brother when I bought it. Quote Link to comment
rosemary Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 Hey olive! Should I use Cut or Tear away on the stabilizer issue? Let me make clear about WSS. I need to know the heck to use for interfacing of fusible. What is the use for Sulky Sticky Fabri-Solvy(wash away) ? Quote Link to comment
olive Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Oh! Yes. I did not mention you about thread sock using. Just hang from the top of the spool on the end of the thread of you spool-after it slide the sock over the spool which makes the thread coming out of the top. This makes it ready to use.

lindarnold Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Moving thread in to a cup-behind the machine-making the thread to relax (before going for tension). If that is not effective, putting cup on the floor also sometimes work. Ball point needle is good for knit fabrics that makes the ball move aside and not cut. Quote Link to comment

lindarnold Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Always, do not concentrate with monograms issue. Bobbin area should be clean and make sure there do not have any nicks in the bobbin holder. This makes to solve the thread nesting issue. Loosening or tightening makes to fit the breaking of tension. Look at the needle, there should not be any burrs on it. Quote Link to comment
olive Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Personal preference is associated with stabilizers. But, I love using TEAR away. I apologize to mentioned cutaway previously. Flap of fabrics stuff making you scratch the away is due to cutaway. Fusible is helpful in making iron and then tear it to finish the embroidery. Quote Link to comment
stitchlady Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Reheating of stabilizer makes you easy and l love to use it on linens. I would not be using these things for those sweat shirts. It may be the baseline of your problems. Quote Link to comment
stitchlady Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Spray paste with those stabilizers would be great mess in embroidery task. Quote Link to comment
rosemary Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 Hey! Thanks for your valuable tips. Every suggestion here are welcomed and greeted very well. I hope that when I get it, I will be ok. But, don’t think I am able to use it. LOL.I know, what you are talking about? It is yuck. I hate that all. You quote somewhere it is avoidable to use anything on Sweat shirts (fusible). OMG! Is that right? On what things, FUSIBLE should be use? Quote Link to comment
