But I am going to give it a shot. I am new at machine embroidery. I have a Brother LB-6800, Project Runway. I have created a phrase that I want to embroidery on some towels. It is 4" wide. There is plenty of room on both my hoops (7" and 11" wide). I have set the hoop size in the software. (Using Embird Software). But the sewing machine says my design is too large for the hoop (not true). Does anyone know how to fix this?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11071391615364860200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-4877254011591200932013-07-14T16:48:54.362-04:002013-07-14T16:48:54.362-04:00I bought an Ellageo 2 and also a used Janome MC 10...I bought an Ellageo 2 and also a used Janome MC 100001 because I found an inexpensive software program for a mac for the Janome. I am now thinking of buying a new embroidery machine but lost interest when I couldn;t use my Mac to get embroidery designs off the internet. I use to embroider all the time. But now when I've tried to go back, the supplies needed to embroider are astronomical. I have thought of selling both my machines to buy a new one, but still can't decide as I use embroidery so infrequently. Don't know what to do! I could buy a good used car for the cost of the machines.senior blisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05942070195339455528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-29202227671464927602013-07-14T16:41:37.344-04:002013-07-14T16:41:37.344-04:00There is software for the Ruby for the MacThere is software for the Ruby for the MacAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-21638929826052087892013-06-30T03:52:35.674-04:002013-06-30T03:52:35.674-04:00embroidery machine is to create perfect cloths for...embroidery machine is to create perfect cloths for our fit and fine body it is very good for easy sewing and low energy taker.so it is very useful to us.<br /><br />thanks industrial machinery corporationhttp://www.industrialmachinerycorporation.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-30176688514863572732013-06-24T08:26:12.092-04:002013-06-24T08:26:12.092-04:00I sent your articles links to all my contacts and ...I sent your articles links to all my contacts and they all adore it including me.<br /><a href="http://www.vicaragedesigns.com/" rel="nofollow">Vicarage Designs</a>Sheamushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05158555199153000678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-1474955262312423992013-06-11T21:48:44.919-04:002013-06-11T21:48:44.919-04:00As far as I know u have to download it to the comp...As far as I know u have to download it to the computer then to the USB.

I would recommend looking at the Brother PR-650e or the Brother PR-1000e. These machines are great for embroidering custom items. There is a huge market right now for custom baby onsies, hats, socks, etc. They are very easy to learn, user friendly, and very portable. They are also very affordable if you can find the right place to buy. My mother owns two PR-1000e's and one PR-650e. She absolutely loves them and highly recommends them to anybody interested in starting an embroidery business. For anyone interested, you can find them here at www.stitchitintl.com Travis McMinnhttp://www.stitchitintl.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-14352859538309812942013-03-04T02:08:58.090-05:002013-03-04T02:08:58.090-05:00I have had an embroidery machine for over 20 years...I have had an embroidery machine for over 20 years. I started with the Janome 8000, then the 9000, also Brother home machine and a Brother commercial machine. I just love to sew and also love to machine embroider.

It was easy to use with the patterns it contains, but I wanted to download patterns and I could not figure out how to do that. I have an usb port but when I downloaded pattern I could not get it to my machine. Does anyone have this machine or have any suggestions to help me. Or should I trade it in???

I first bought a Viking Topaz 30 but just couldnt get the Ruby out of my mind. After a month, I decided to trade! So I am now an excited Ruby Deluxe owner. The difference can be in the support and training you get from the sewing store. I am in San Antonio and Patty's Sewing has been awesome!

Not only is the machine a total workhorse that can do ANYTHING I ask of it, it has an available embroidery module. The beauty of this is that when I want embroidery, I hook it up to my laptop and create awesomeness. When I don't want to embroider, I store the module. What I love best about it is that it was an entry level machine but *incredibly* solid. I "interviewed" a LOT of machines & dealers and hands DOWN the Bernina wins. Yes, the machine was $3000 out the door, but it's the last sewing machine I'll ever own. I want to be buried with it.Nina Suluhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08616884472638151080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-21832780248998844302012-09-10T12:52:56.579-04:002012-09-10T12:52:56.579-04:00Loved reading all the comments... I used to be an ...Loved reading all the comments... I used to be an embroidery snob, doing it by hand and very sparingly. Loved silk ribbon work by hand, and the tone-on-tone kind of thing. DH bought me a small Brother model with a 4x4 hoop one year for a birthday or something. It was a second hand machine but I used it so little it wasn't a big deal. When it required service after a move, I traded up for an Innovis 900D with a bigger hoop. I'm now doing small jobs on it and the granddaughters are my best customers! <br /><br />BTW one of the things that turned me off was people who think all 20 designs on a card should go onto the same garment or project!

I started with a top of the line Brother ULT that was truly a POS! How's that for using my own acronym for the machine? It was always in the shop...never worked right for any length of time. I finally bought a 6 needle Babylock EMP6 and what a dream! I can set up a design and do other things with minimal interaction, especially if the design uses 6 or less colors! I have used several different digitizing programs, and my favorite by far is Embird. It's easy to use and I love the iconizer so I can easily see the design rather than a file name. There are also some great embroidery design sites out there that offer free designs to check out their work. My faces are urbanthreads.com and Embroidery Library. Machine embroidery is fun and addictive! You will want to embellish everything!Maryissewfasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12780345687245124170noreply@blogger.com
