Hatch Embroidery is great for beginners—it’s intuitive and has plenty of tutorials. You might also want to try Ink/Stitch, which is free and works as a plugin for Inkscape.
I’ve been using the Brother SE1900 for a year, and it’s fantastic! It’s beginner-friendly, with lots of built-in designs. Just be sure to use good-quality thread for the best results.
Great video! Proper thread tension depends on your machine and fabric. Always do a test run to find the perfect setting.
January 22, 2025 at 8:49 pm in reply to: Can someone create a video on metallic thread embroidery? #172I second this request! Metallic threads are tricky because they fray easily. A video on needle choices and thread tension for metallics would be a lifesaver.
For a smooth satin stitch, make sure the stitch length isn’t too short, and use a stabilizer. Practice on straight lines first to build consistency.
This video is super helpful! For beginners, remember to keep the fabric taut in the hoop and test on a scrap piece before starting your project.

You can use software like Wilcom or Ink/Stitch to convert PNGs to embroidery files. It involves digitizing the image by assigning stitches to the design. Let me know if you need step-by-step guidance!
PES files are used by Brother machines, while DST is more universal and works with commercial embroidery machines. PES files retain more details like thread colors, so use that if you’re on a Brother machine.
Thank you for sharing! This design is adorable, and I can’t wait to try it. I’ll post a picture once I’ve stitched it.
Count me in! I’m thinking of creating a heart-shaped floral wreath design for this challenge. Can’t wait to see everyone’s work!
For consistent satin stitches, try slowing down your machine speed and ensuring your fabric is tightly hooped. A stabilizer can also help keep things even.
Your tote bag looks fantastic! The color choices are vibrant, and your stitching is neat. For improvement, you might try experimenting with different stitch densities for even more texture.
I love knitting and making handmade candles in my free time. It’s a nice change of pace from embroidery!
My favorite project was a personalized baby blanket I made for my niece. It had her name and a cute teddy bear design. It was such a meaningful gift!
