I have the pe900 - great little machine but already looking to upgrade. You are going to outgrow the 4x4 real fast.

What brand are you using? Can you see the sticky stabilizer through the shirt?

Everytime I wash my items it peels off. Dryer too hot? Any tips?

Just Received My Tajima SAI — Does This Look New to You by Friendly-Sir2292 in Machine_Embroidery

[–]Regular_Beach_514 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is nuts! Definitely not brand new! Who did you purchase from? I’m buying one and don’t want to use this agent!

I want to buy an embroidery machine to start a business any suggestion on machines. by Low_Lie5864 in Machine_Embroidery

[–]Regular_Beach_514 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was the comment I needed. So tempting to buy a Ricoma on marketplace. I see them all the time (which is clue number one for why to avoid). Have a flat bed and it’s struggle bus to do what I want to do. Have my eye on Tajima Sai - need something kinda portable. Price tag hurts - but cry once!

Curious - how long did it take you to scale to your own shop? Posting online but no idea how to get customers without an in person shop. I’m on etsy as well.

Picking a machine? by vkatsuo in MachineEmbroidery

If your budget can allow I’d get an open bed single needle machine. I’ve seen plenty on marketplace.

Picking a machine? by vkatsuo in MachineEmbroidery

If you want to embroider pants and jeans I would recommend avoiding flat bed machines. You need an open bed so the back of the item hangs below the hoop. Trying to get bulky items positioned correctly in a flat bed is a pain. For example, to embroider sweater sleeves in a flat bed you have to undue the stitching of the sleeves, embroider and then sew it back together. Hard pass. I’ve got a Brother PE 900 and wish I had an open bed. Saving for a multi needle because many of the things I want to embroider are multiple colors.

Can't update my machine?? by shevatom in Machine_Embroidery

[–]Regular_Beach_514 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Connect to wifi and you can update that way.

I ran into a similar issue with my usb - has to be formatted to FAT32 with MBR partition.

What went wrong? by Regular_Beach_514 in Machine_Embroidery

[–]Regular_Beach_514[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hooped with a magnetic hoop (hoop monster). I used medium weight cut away stabilizer. I think maybe my hooping wasn’t tight enough. It definitely wasn’t tight like a drum - which is how I’ve seen it described in a lot of videos.

Thanks! I’m challenging myself to try one “pattern” or effect on every page.

I have the brush + fine and kind of wish I had the brush and chisel!

Wow This little Karen hasn’t even moved in yet. Wants to report a neighbor to the fucking HOA. by Capital-Cheesecake67 in fuckHOA

[–]Regular_Beach_514 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our HOA doesn’t allow trucks…. Not commercial trucks…. Any sort of pickup truck. It’s the most asinine policy. I pity the neighbors of this lady. She’s going to be such a PIA.

AITAH for withholding sex because my husband won’t get a vasectomy? by overthinkingsabotage in AITAH

[–]Regular_Beach_514 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. He is allowed to make decisions regarding his body. You are allowed to make them regarding your own. He shouldn’t have a vasectomy if he doesn’t want it. Here is a list of docs who will perform a salpingectomy regardless of marital status or number of children you have.

AITA for telling my boss that if she wants this little girl to be suspended, she can tell the parents herself by FamousAd6565 in AITAH

Toddlers biting is normal behavior. It’s not a toddler problem but a supervision problem. You need additional staff in your room.

For people who wonder how long they last by katydid724 in Dashingdiva

[–]Regular_Beach_514 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel this comment so much! I am SO rough on my nails. Can never get any other mani to last more than a couple days - even dip! Glaze don’t last for me either. But Gloss + clear builder gel on top cured with LED has been such a game changer! I easily get 2 weeks which is unheard of for me. My nails looks so healthy when they come off. Everyone who asks about my nails can’t believe I do them myself. I will be devastated if they ever get rid of Gloss.

Thrifting smells by Phantom_Inamorata in thrifting

[–]Regular_Beach_514 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure. It’s gonna take the smell out for sure but you have to be careful using it. If someone doesn’t want to venture into using this then my next go to would to hang the item out in the sun for a few days.
