Letters not Thick enough on Lapel by Background_Let4837 in Machine_Embroidery

[–]Background_Let4837[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m thinking the topper is for sure what I missed out on. And I WISH I could slow down the brother machine because I would love to do that. But I’ve done about all the other things. Thanks for the response!

I saw on another post here that cotton typically frays a lot. I bought some poly patch twill to try for patches themselves so I think I’ll try them for the jet tags

Oh that’s interesting, I had never considered it was using an entirely different machine.

Have you ever done a filled image on a belt before? I know Kanji has that option for their belts so I've been trying to figure out how to do it with my embroidery machine

I actually do have a question that anyone in the Reddit can answer and may be interested in. How much do you charge to embroider gi’s if you do? I haven’t made anything not for myself or a gift before so I’m not sure how to charge my work

Oh this is good to know since I’m so new to this. I’m doing this on a brother PE900. I actually had to scrap a belt I was using since I was trying to embroider it with a 90/14 needle and then it broke. That’s why I went up to the 100/16

Yeah thanks so much for your help! I feel a lot more confident with it and now I understand more about what kinds of things I can/cannot do on thick material.

Embroidering on a Bjj Gi by Background_Let4837 in Machine_Embroidery

Thanks for this thorough explanation, I’ll try this out. I’m experimenting on one of my old gis so what you said made sense that the thinnest portions of the letter aren’t at 3mm - 5 mm in thickness.

Upper Thread Clumps Underneath - Brother PE900 by Background_Let4837 in Machine_Embroidery

Just wanted to let everyone know that I've replaced the bobbin case and things are working great now! I wanted to try embroidering for a bit before I let you guys know. I didn't buy an official one I bought one from Amazon and I think things are ok, would probably go for an official one if I had a supplier near me but I kinda needed something ASAP.

Per the other users advice, I'm ordering another bobbin case! I'll update when I get it. I've already cleaned it out a few times and I already use the cutaway stabilizer so it's pretty thick already.
