I can't tell you how long I have been trying to make my old hand-me-down machine work correctly. Years! I'm a quilter and use the embroidery machine for labels- which have been my most disliked part of making quilts. Tonight it worked right! Thank you for your excellent tutorial!
Thank you so much. You are excellent in your tutorial. I have researched three days this information for my new Brother SN 2850d sewing/embroidery machine. There is no other Brother UTUB support to train beginners how to thread it and other training that I can understand & utilize. I will be using your Blog or whatever you call it. Have a blessed holiday weekend and chat soon again. 😊
Lift needle up arm... I start at the top... there is a resistance wheel... try putting that on #3... there is a sewing speed setting... slow it to middle lower setting... next, is your thread binding at the spool? (I use smaller cap or no cap) next feed by number through machine you should not feel resistance while loading to the point of auto threading needle... once you auto thread you can (easy does it) pull thread smoothly through (may not be recommended but it is the only way I know to check) IF the thread spools off from the top smoothly with very slight drag / resistance top thread should be ready... next check bottom thread bobbin for loading / feeding... I recommend factory wound lower bobbins starting out to be sure they are wound evenly. (be sure to watch loading direction) lastly... try simple straight sewing stitch either using touch pad or pre-set BASIC embroidery pattern on simple piece of material like old t-shirt or cloth napkin with hoop and basic stabilizer. lower you needle arm... light goes green. start and run for short 3 - 4 second burst(s) then longer if ok... LISTEN to your machine... it should run and sound super quite and smooth with no "hammering" or banging noise. STOP... lift up needle arm (light turns red) gently move your material back and forth under needle (be careful not to get your finger under needle) upper and lower thread should be loose enough to move material just a little up / down / side to side. IF your thread is binding it will be too tight to move material pretty quickly. IF it is tight using tweezers gently tug on upper and lower thread... binding one is your issue. Keep in mind there are other factors: needle, material, computer pattern programming stitching too tight, cheap thread (tug on thread does it snap under little to no pressure?) These machines are awesome once you get the basics down pat.
Just double checking mine, had issues about a year and a half ago, it seems ok. My perfect tension reads as 1.5 (literally on the dial where the black ends after the 2) not sure why it isn't 3 or 2, but it works and that's all that matters I guess. My original issue was that when it shipped, apparently the tension wheel popped out of place entirely. I had to open it up and actually put it in its proper place.
you are awesome thank you for showing me this, I ordered mine on eBay today so I am going to save this video so when it gets here I know what I am doing. Keep up the good work!
Thank you very much for your video …i ve just bought my machine and practising with you ..i just have a problem about the paterns in usb doent show in my machine …is there any special program i must buy or i can load any picture ?
Sorry for all the questions im sure im going to ask but i just received an SE630 and afraid to take it out of the box. Are these two machines similar to use/setup? How did the machine know you were going to use black thread, or did you already pre program it? Its hard to find videos on these types of machines. Im glad i found this video.
Try Googling "Brother SE600 vs SE630" My SE600 is able to identify thread colors by the stitch program. Keep in mind that the color on the machine just shows area to be embroidered... you can load any color thread you want. IF your SE630 has a return policy give it a try! I just use test fabric to try out onboard patterns and custom ones I made. HAVE FUN! Be Blessed, DTG
@@DavidTGould Ahh thank you! Ihave gone to the Brother website but didnt have much luck. However I wont give up lol. I learn better by visuals rather than reading a manual but ive learned how to be more patient when it comes to sewing/embroidery machines lol. Mine looks very similar to yours. Wish me luck 😊
I have a se625 an the check an rethread the upper thread screen come on after about 10 to 12 stitches no matter how much i rethread or change my needle, what do you think i might be doing wrong ?
Hi David. I just found this video as I am having a major problem. When I try to embroider, no matter what color I use for my top thread, all I get is the white bobbin thread. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
I have been sampling different stabilizers within fabrics, and I’m getting puckering when I do embroidery. I also have the same sewing machine I have tried tension settings I have put a new needle in. I’ve tried different stabilizers and I just keep getting puckering.
Greetings, I should be receiving a SE625 next week. Question. Typically how much thread comes with a New brother unit or where can I purchase the correct embroidery thread?
My machine is embroidering very sloppy all of a sudden. The H look like M etc. What could be this issue? I tried changing thread & needle and I use a stabilizer.
Sorry to hear. Did you change anything? Thread, bobbin, material or needle recently? Are you having same problem with other patterns?Have you rethreaded machine and bobbin? (May want to try another) Sounds to me like there may not be enough tension on thread) IF you don't get it you are welcome to send images of front and back of embroidery.
hmmm... I don't know for sure... Are you using pre-wound bobbins? the lower bobbin case has tension settings... it could be that you do not have enough tension from the bottom IF the top tension is not adjusting the amount of showing thread. I will try to find video showing bobbin tension adjustment. Be Blessed, DTG
video here shows bobbin case tension adjustment. be careful to adjust correct screw... video will start around 18 minute mark: th-cam.com/video/d6rPZgPDKxI/w-d-xo.html Hope this helps. Be Blessed, DTG
Love the new Chanel name! I have a question, if I wanted to do the cat in a tea cup embroider on the se600 (option #001) but wanted to skip one of the middle steps (say step 3 that shows 704 color and for 3 min) is that possible?? Thanks in advance!
Sorry for delay... just found your question. Yes the SE600 has a +/- "button" that allows you to move forward or backward from your last stitch... If you look on upper right of touch screen (when pattern is ready to embroider - green light) you will see each color and the time it will take to stitch out. So... IF you wanted to skip (or go back) a color (step) you can use the +/- then press the +spool to the right to move forward or the -spool to the right to move backward. Hope this helps. Be Blessed, DTG

30 videos in... Finally found one that absolutely help ! Thank you so much!
Best tutorial I've seen yet
This is good for beginners like me that don’t read but instead would rather learn by experience and TH-cam
this was a great video. my idea on tension settings was completely backwards . you helped me a lot.
Thank you so much for sharing your expertise with the brother SE 600 sewing machine

Thank you so much for posting the video I have been looking for! Much appreciated.
Great Video! Can it sew Leather? Thank you
Thank you so much, very easy to understand, specially, that you show a step by step, awesome job... thank you.
Please make more videos you are an amazing teacher. I’m new to this I have two machines. I have brother PR600II 6 needle and this machine.
Thank you sooooo much! I have only had my LB5000 a couple months and you have made the best video to help me!
You are welcome! Be Blessed, DTG

How can I get piece of thread out that is wound around tension discs?
Hi David. I just found this video as I am having a major problem. When I try to embroider, no matter what color I use for my top thread, all I get is the white bobbin thread. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
May need to use embroidery stabilizer underneath.
Adjust your tension wheel. Always use a stabilizer.
Can we use a 40w on top and for bobbin too or does the bobbin have to be 60w?
I have been sampling different stabilizers within fabrics, and I’m getting puckering when I do embroidery. I also have the same sewing machine I have tried tension settings I have put a new needle in. I’ve tried different stabilizers and I just keep getting puckering.
do you have the link for the bobbins?
Very good teacher you are thank you
Very good and informative video David!
thanks for your help with best practices. (how is your new machine working out?)
@@DavidTGould oh it is wonderful. Thank you. I have been switching between them all. I don't think I could ever part with the Brother machines I have.
What to do when you have puckering when doing embroidery?
I change the needle and since then the sweing machine is not threading the thread into the needle.
I had to replaced the needle threader , it works now.
Thank you, I learned from this tension example!
Greetings, I should be receiving a SE625 next week. Question. Typically how much thread comes with a New brother unit or where can I purchase the correct embroidery thread?
congratulations on purchase... sorry for delayed response... I use Amazon: www.amazon.com/s?k=brother+se600+thread&ref=nb_sb_noss_1
just the help i needed deserved the sub!
Thank you... I will be getting back to designs soon... open to suggestions. Be Blessed, DTG
This was exactly what I needed! Thank you!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EXPLAINING THIS TO ME , I’m new to this and I was giving up because all the designs was all ugly and not right

@@DavidTGould what needle/brand would you recommend to embroider with the Brother se600?
@@chrissym7336 Organ Needle Co. size - 75/11
Did you figure out thread issue?
@@DavidTGould not yet. I ordered the correct needle and will see if that helps. 🤞🏻
If there is a demonstration about it pls tell me …god blesses
Thank you again David, I see how to put some words on a mask now.
the best information, thank you
Thank you sooooo much for this video!!!!! You are so amazing and so appreciated for taking the time to educate us!
Yes thank you for the information and time you put into this video
Do u think my needle broke due to tension? 😭 my 2nd day using it and needle broke :(
Thank you
Mt foot is way to close and tight it will drag the fabric how do I just the foots tension
mine in whatever tension i go with the white bobbin thread comes out why is that??😭
