Hi there! You're actually on the right track, and it's great that you're thinking through the structure of your pencil topper files before stitching. Let me break it down and clarify each step for you: Pencil Topper Embroidery File Breakdown Front Dieline File: Used to create a placement line on stabilizer for the front fabric or vinyl. This dieline defines the exact shape and size, and it should match the back dieline in size. Back Dieline File: Same shape as the front dieline. It’s used to cut the backing fabric or vinyl to match. However, this dieline is not stitched until the end — and you leave the bottom open so the pencil can slide in. Design File (Main Embroidery File): Starts by stitching the front dieline onto the stabilizer. Place and tack down your front fabric. Run the embroidery design (any decorative elements, text, face, etc.). Place the back fabric behind the hoop (use spray adhesive or tape). Final stitch-out tacks down front and back together — but leaves the bottom part unstitched to create an opening for the pencil. Important Tips Make sure the dielines are slightly larger than the design to allow space for stitching. Use a knockdown stitch or a small offset if you're using fluffy or thick materials like felt or vinyl. Do a test stitch before selling or gifting — even if you have the dielines perfect, material behavior can vary. So yes, your understanding is mostly correct — the key detail is making sure the back piece is attached only at the top and sides so there's room for the pencil to slide in. Good luck with your design! Let us know how your first one turns out.

Registration issues embroidery machine
diver361 replied to Schnazzy C's topic in Questions and Answers
Hi Shawn, welcome to the embroidery world! You're doing great already, and it's totally normal to run into issues when working with larger designs. The problem you're describing — with the gold outline not aligning properly on the larger logo — sounds like a classic registration issue, usually caused by fabric shifting during stitching. 1. Fabric Stability: It's All About Hooping Even with super strong cut-away stabilizer, if the fabric isn’t hooped tightly (like a drum), it can move slightly, especially in larger designs. Try hooping the T-shirt and stabilizer together (not floating the shirt). Use a temporary spray adhesive like 505 to bond the shirt to the stabilizer. Secure excess fabric outside the hoop to prevent drag — pins or clips can help. 2. Design Pathing & Push-Pull Compensation Larger designs often suffer from push-pull distortion, which can misalign outlines. In Embird or PE Design Plus, check for pull compensation and make sure your stitch order places outlines last, after the fill stitching. 3. Try a Basting Stitch First Many machines have an option to stitch a basting box around the design — this helps hold the fabric in place before actual stitching starts. 4. Slow Down the Machine Reduce your machine speed while stitching larger designs. It helps minimize movement and misalignment. 5. Design Editing (If Necessary) If the outline was digitized separately, it might need manual adjustment to better match the fill. Ensure all design components are aligned to the same center point in your software. Your Setup Looks Good Machine: Brother NV800e – a great, reliable model. Hoop: 160x260mm – perfect size for a 100x210mm design. Stabilizer: Super strong cut-away – a smart choice for T-shirts. Software: Embird and PE Design Plus – excellent tools for editing and previewing. Bonus: Embroidering on a 6" Pad If you're referring to embroidering on a 6" embroidery hoop or pad (like a patch or framed piece): Print a template or use a placement line to ensure proper positioning. Mark center and boundaries clearly. Use spray adhesive or sticky stabilizer to hold the fabric in place while hooping. Let me know if you'd like help checking your .pes or .emd file layout — I can walk you through adjustments too! You're absolutely on the right track. Larger logos just need a few more tweaks, but you're almost there. -
2020 Embird won't open my new designs
diver361 replied to Rita Davis's topic in Embroideres.com designs
Hi there, I can totally understand your frustration — when things were working fine before and suddenly stop after an update, it's maddening. Here are a few thoughts and steps you might try: 1. Check the File Format Compatibility Even though you're saving as .hus, the newer version of the software (2020) might be saving them in a variant your Topaz 20 can’t read properly. Try using the "Save As" function and select an older .hus format, if available. Better yet, try saving as VP3, which is the preferred format for Husqvarna Viking machines like the Topaz 20. 2. File Display Settings on the Machine If folders appear but files don’t, it may be a format or naming issue. Keep file names to 8 characters or fewer. Avoid using spaces or special characters – stick to letters and numbers only. 3. USB Drive Issues Yes, newer USB drives can cause compatibility issues with embroidery machines. Use a USB 2.0 drive, preferably 4GB or smaller, and format it to FAT32. Always format using Windows – not Mac or third-party tools – and avoid storing Janome or mixed format files on the same drive. 4. Software Version Downgrade You can downgrade to the 2018 version, but it's best to first try exporting in an older format. If using Embird, mySewnet, or similar software, look for a version setting when saving the file. 5. One More Tip If you still have the 2018 version installed somewhere, try opening the newly saved files with it. If they don’t open or show errors, the problem likely lies in the encoding of the files. Let us know how it goes! Hopefully one of these tips gets your Topaz reading files again. -

Buying a Used Embroidery Machine with 135,000 Stitches: Is It a Good Deal? If you're considering buying a used embroidery machine with around 135,000 stitches, you might be wondering—is that a lot? Spoiler alert: 135,000 stitches is practically nothing. What Does 135,000 Stitches Really Mean? One medium design can have 60,000–100,000 stitches. Some commercial designs hit 200,000+ in one run. Many users easily pass 1 million stitches in their first year. Commercial machines can run 300 million+ stitches and still operate smoothly. What Actually Matters When Buying Used Maintenance History: Was it regularly oiled and serviced? Stitch Quality: Always test run a design before buying. Brand: Trusted names like Brother, Janome, Barudan, Tajima are reliable. Accessories: Check for hoops, software, and USB or floppy support. Community Insight "My brand new Barudan came with 220k stitches just from factory testing." "I've done over 14 million stitches in a year—135k is a warm-up!" Bottom Line With just 135,000 stitches, your machine is nearly new. It’s a great deal, especially if it’s in working condition and from a trusted brand. So go ahead, power it up and start stitching! © 2025 Embroideres.com – All Rights Reserved -

Adjust Stitch Length: Set to 1.0–1.5 mm for better clarity on small letters. Test Your Design: Stitch out on real fabric with appropriate stabilizers to avoid distortions and check legibility.
