Tips & Tricks

Taken from user recommendation

1. Get a sturdy table and put something under the machine to minimize vibration (cork, rubber matting, or some such thing).
2. Try different brands of embroidery thread on your machine until you find out what works best for you, your machine, and the design that you're using.
3. Buy good needles and change them out frequently. Titanium plating should be as smooth as glass, if it's rough - it's not a good needle. You want the finish on an embroidery needle to be really slick, to reduce heat build up while it's embroidering.
4. Run a sample of the design on felt or fabric & stabilizer to see how it turns out on real fabric - "bouncing" can mean that the outline doesn't match the fill and you want to make sure that there is no "bouncing around" while it's stitching. You also want to check the thread colors and if you have a good match on the weight of the stabilizer - if the thing puckers up, it needs the tension relaxed or a heavier weight of stabilizer.
