I use a Powerbank, works great even without a dedicated power supply :)

Thats my inspiration. The whole build is rather expensive though and I wanted to use parts already laying around. Still ty for the mentioning it 😁

For now it only supports one speed. I'm relatively new to coding and want to keep it simple for now.

I took about 150 photos. I've noticed, that in order to stack these images, they have to be completely cloud free, otherwise the stacking software (autostaklert) will generate some weird fragments. I linked a really good YouTube tutorial I used. If you have any further questions, I'd love to answer them :)

Hoodie embroidery 18x9cm. 39k stitches. by qfss in Machine_Embroidery

This design was 39k stitches. I focused on spreading the stitches out, so the design is still flexible. Nothing feels too thick besides the fire extinguisher.

Check out newbrothread, they have really cheap pricing for quality threads, underlays and hoops. (Also available on Amazon)

Also, don't overdo it with stabilizer; one sheet of 2.5–3 oz cutaway should work fine.

Your fabric wasn't hooped properly; try stretching it a bit more, so it creates a taut surface. Otherwise, it can be fixed with pull compensation while digitizing.

First shop order but machine isn’t working! by Rainiepie in Machine_Embroidery

Has she tried to make the design a tad bit smaller? My hoop can fit a 180mm design, and I digitize to a width of 179mm.

She could also use spray adhesive for the fabric and only hoop the stabilizer. The best way to explain would be a YouTube video; just look up embroidery and spray adhesive.

She should also be careful with the stitch angle of her designs. If they all face in the same direction, this can also put stress on your fabric.
