hey folks I need some advice. My PE 770 is making a loud thumping noise when it is stitching. The stitches are ok, just the machine is very loud. I talked with my repair guy and he thinks that my pressure foot is bad or going bad. I might need to replace it. I can wiggle the foot a lot even when the screw is very tight. Has anyone else encountered this issue?

So I have had my machine for a couple years now & I have always been able to figure out what is wrong & fix the issue any time I have had any problems with my machine. However, at the moment I have an issue I can’t resolve & was hoping you all might have some advice as to what to try next. I will be sure to try to provide as much information as I possibly can in regards to my issue, trouble shooting process & and any information in regurads to a solution should I find one for anyone else who might have the same issue MY MACHINE – Brother PE770 MY ISSUE – In the middle of an order I was working on I started having issues with the top thread breaking & all of a sudden BLAM... a broken needle. Now after a bunch of troubleshooting, I can’t seem to get the machine to pick up the bottom (bobbin) thread anymore WHAT I TRIED: 1 – Took a part the top & cleaned out any dust, removed any broken threads, ran a thick piece of heavy weight thread through the thread path to try to remove any excess dust, buildup or thread remnants. 2 – I changed the needle to a brand new one & then tried changing it to a brand new BP needle 3 – I opened up the bottom of the machine & removed bobbin case, cleaned out any dust in the bobbin space, removed any lint build up in the bobbin case itself, I cleaned the bobbin case thread path & re-set the tension a number of times 4 – I tried changing the bobbin thread to a new bobbin (90 weight as recommended for the machine) then tried using a bobbin with 60 weight bobbin thread just in case it might be that. 5 – I switched out my bobbin case for another one (I always keep a new replacement bobbin case in case of emergency) switched it back AT THIS POINT I TURNED OFF THE MACHINE & WALKED AWAY SO I COULD CALM DOWN & NOT THROW MY MACHINE AT THE WALL…LOL. 6 – Upon return, I turned the machine back on & started my troubleshooting process again & went through the above process (1-5) this time oiling up the appropriate areas. Unfortunately there is still no change. I can’t help but feel like there is something basic I’m missing here. I would be very thankful for any other suggestions that I might try to get this puppy up & running again. I have a stack of orders to work on & can’t really afford to send her to the shop to be fixed at the moment.

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

Talking about me, I am very zealous about techno equipment. So, I planned to buy Brother PE770 Embroidery machine on last September. For a while, it was new and fancy. When I bought this, it was very good but now it is very slow. At the moment, it does not able to line up and performance in stitching is harsh. So, I tainted my old needles and got new one, freshen the bobbins etc. But, it seem like it is not operating in fine manner. Now, I essentially, think that I took a wrong choice for it. I got 75/11 needle size from the Schmetz embroidery and look it has not been good for me since. Despite, it is getting good reviews on internet. My friend bought a similar machine on a cheaper cost. Ahh! This machine is sucking me up. I am just figuring out help from you people. Thanks,

I got this awhile back,I have a Brother PE 770,It will not show up on my machine, I thought i was getting a 5x7.Can you tell me if this is larger? anyway to get it in a 5x7? Thanks for any help!
