Ok, I need help - embroidery with Brother SE400.
After a few hours of nothing working right, I figured out how to get the fabric tight in the hoop, keep the thread from breaking, and actually managed to get a whole design stitched out without breaking a needle.
So what's wrong? Is this just a crappy pattern? I sized it down - did it maybe not size correctly?
Please tell me I can fix this and learn how to use this thing right before I throw it in the pool!!!
Are you repositioning between colors (taking the hoop off and moving the arm at all?)? Rethread your bobbin perhaps and see if that helps? When you say the thread keeps breaking, and you rethread are you going back about 10 stitches before starting over? Is the top thread coming off the spool right? My machine the Brother 2800d says it "comes off the back" well what I thought was the back was NOT! My mom the sewer showed me and it to me "comes off the front" but that is because if I hold the spool horizontally in front of me, I have the string coming at me from the bottom (my machine has the thread loaded this way as well, horizontal spool) look at this pic and that's what I mean if it was a spool of thread http://www.shutterstock.com/pic-432...l-on-white-background-with-a-soft-shadow.html (hopefully I can post that link to help you)!
