Thank you for not editing out the error codes because it shows that even the most experienced users have snafus!
Thank you SEW MUCH I was so upset about my lettering, not understanding this machine,you have really helped me to learn to enjoy this,I plan on playing more.
You always do such great videos. Thanks for showing us, seems like you can do it all. Love watching all your tutorials. Have a great Christmas.
Thank you so much for this video! I just got a brother embroidery machine for my birthday. This is very helpful!
Oh great! Another crafty thing I need lol, lol! Wow, that's pretty neat! Your friend will love it!
LOL!! Right? TY!!
Thanks so much! I love your walk though mistakes and all! You’re definitely not wast your time. It’s nice to be able to learn along with you.
Glad it was helpful! That is so kind, TY!
Love the design and your demo…I just received my first embridery machine, the PE800 for Christmas. It has really been quite easy to learn. When threading the machine you have to make sure that the pressor foot is up and the needle is in the highest point using the up/down needle button. Also, there is a scissors icon next to the up/down needle where the machine will cut the thread for you. Thanks for sharing!
🤩🙏 such a cute design 😍 - thx for the vid!!
Love all your instruction videos thank you for sharing with all of us.
Great video, I love that you go through the whole process and that it is not perfect. Just as if you are doing this at home. Thanks and greetings from The Netherlands.
Oh, wow, thank you so much! That is my greatest compliment!!
Vianney , thanks for sharing this information. Blessings.
Thank you for this video. It was really helpful.
Very helpful video, Thank you! ☺️
cool, thank you for showing me that I have the same issue thread gets caught and that was 3yrs ago so did not want to use my Pe550D. now I will.
Happy to help!! (:
Great content. Quite explanatory.
What if I want to use a single thread colour for the entire design what do I do. I noticed my machines stops after the first colour but I'll like to use a single colour for the entire concept
So I loved your video, very nice explaining it and easy to understand. I'm VERY new to the PE550D and still very confused and lost on how to do some things so I was wondering Can you purchase bigger size hoops for the Disney PE550D ? And is there a way to monnogram Letters (initials) on the machine to make one letter one size then the middle letter bigger and so on? Thanks again for the video.
do you know what our machine is compared to? ( I have this exact one) Your videos are the only ones i've found to help me.
Hello! I'm new to your channel and I'm interested in getting this embroidery machine and was wondering if you knew by chance if you're able to make felties with it? TIA- loving your tutorials
Does the software or the machine itself see and understand where to use diffrent colors?
This was so helpful thank you
Glad it was helpful! TYSM!
So you don’t have to match the bobbin thread with the top thread? I’ve been doing that. Thanks for showing that you don’t have to change it out with each color.
Hi apparently there is an extra payment of brother software for downloading external designs. Did you have to buy this or is ot not necessary. Love the vid and thank you in advanced
I have a question, if I already have a picture can I import that to the embroidery machine?
Would you say that this machines embroidery display is better or worse than the baby lock verve? Also, the eversewn sparrow x2 uses an app. Do you their app is better than this display?
Hi I just came across your video. I am thinking of buying this machine and was wondering now how you like this machine? I've read a bunch of reviews that this is not a very good machine. Any info would be appreciated. Thank you
Do I have to have software on my computer to make designs om my 550D machine and which one should I have that's not to dear on my Mac
Wondering if this designs will go into my Brother Stellaire xe1
Awesomeness, I have the same machine
Just found you, here! Thanks for sharing and teaching. Is the JuJu site compatible with MAK? I checked their website and couldn’t find the info., or, I possibly looked over it...Thank You!
I'm sorry, I don't know all of the file types...but if it's an embroidery machine...I would bet that JuJu has compatibility with it! The site has descriptions about the formats.
This is super helpful!! Do you know if it is possible to combine a design from online, with your own writing underneath?
I suppose you can, you would need a digitizing program. They sell them but I'm not familiar with them. Good luck!
VianneyCreates Thankyou! Do you know any or have any recommendations?
Hi thank for your tutorial. I have a question what is the base color you use in the bobbin for your whole project when there is different change color on the top thread thank you 😊 🙏
TY! I pretty much always use white. Commonly, you will find bobbin thread in white, black, and maybe off white. You do not change it for different colors of top thread as that would be tedious and is not necessary.
@@VianneyCreates hi did you know what is the best thread I can buy
Really informative video. I'm confused by the fabric piece you used on the arrow. Do you have to do that or could you have made this without that blue fabric?
This video is pretty old but maybe you're referring to the stabilizer. In my opinion, it's absolutely necessary. It gives "stability" to your embroidering...sometimes it's temporary while it's being created and some stabilizers stay in there forever to "help out."
@@VianneyCreates Not the stabilizer on the back. I'm talking about the piece of blue that is on the arrow and you had to trim it with the special scissors. Is that a stabilizer also?
@@kimscornavaccosnugharborba4362 oh, that’s to make the appliqué part of the design. Some designs are all stitching and some are appliqué types.
@@VianneyCreates Oh ok, thank you for clearing that up. I'm a total newbie at this.
Hi Vianney, I don’t know anything about embroidering but I was going to buy when I saw it on HSN. I think I’m, going to purchase now. Why did you need to use fabric? TFS....It came out so cute! Love it....
This is a good entry level one that has a lot of great options. Really great machine. It's almost foolproof. What do you mean by "why did I use fabric?"
It looked like you added light blue fabric to the arrow...
Nice sewing machine....!
It's great!
Ty~ Is there ever a need for the round frame?
I’m going to be addicted! I haven’t even gotten started it already want a bigger machine that does 8 x 8 Lol 😂
Hope you’ve had tons of fun embroidering. Did you ever get that machine w/ the larger design capability? I find this small machine rather limiting… I’m seriously considering a 10-needle. I’ll need to work it as a side hustle to pay for it but I’m game. 😊😅
@@quiltedbrownieNo not yet been busy with other home projects. Still on my mind though!
Mine doesn't have that I-Broidery on it, exact same model. why do you nor use a conversion program, That you can convery any picture into an embroderty file?? Rather than pay for single designs, you can do anything as many times as you want,
Just opened my machine and tried to test it out and my machine is using the bobbin thread only and not the top color thread?
11:50 .... is there ever a better feeling then when you get that USB in on the first try? I swear they are typical to take at least 3 flips.
LOL!! SO true!
Can you down load decorative stitches to your thumb drive to use on the machine when it is in sewing mode? Also, can you make your own designs?
Can you answer this question!!!!!!!!!!!
These questions are old but maybe my 2 cents will help someone.
This machine is for embroidery only - it does not have a sewing mode. You can download & then use decorative embroidery designs as long as they’re the smaller ones that fit in the hoops for this machine (4” x 4” for sure, & maybe a bit bigger).
To make some of your own designs, or add to/combine downloaded ones to make a new design, you need digitizing software or something like the Brother or Baby Lock 10-needle machines (very expensive) that allow you to scan in simple line designs. Anything more complicated & you’d likely need to hire a digitizer.
Wishing you tons of fun & prosperity as you “make” the world a better place w/ your creativity. 🎉❤
HI, I'm knew to machine embroidery an I'm interested in this machine. Are you limited to designs that will fit in the hoop supplied or can you buy larger hoops for bigger designs?
TY! For this machine...you can buy a smaller hoop (for what reason, I don't know)...but not a larger one.
@@VianneyCreates Thank you for the prompt reply, I've sewn all my life and this is a whole new world to me 😀
Can you make small appliqués? Like small enough to put on a crochet cup cozy? Im trying to find the right machine to make what i need. Can you make your own designs and load them in? If so what kind of program would i need, or what online site can do this?
I'm not sure what you mean, but any embroidery machine can do appliqué or "lace work." It depends on what your design tells it to do. Yes, you can do your own designs but you would need a digitizing program to digitize it for embroidering. I've never done that but people seem to like Embrilliance software.
@@VianneyCreates ooh ok a digitizing program. Im new to embroidery and i did not know how people were making all these designs. But now i know you need to digitize your own design and than put into machine. Cool, thanks for your help ☺️
Ladybug, I’m so new to all this, and have this machine, my question is , is it better to keep my designs in my computer or on a USB? I don’t want to over load my machine, Also can you show how to use the USB, PLEASE OR EXPLAIN, THK YOU
It's a great little machine! Thank you! I'm not sure what you mean "can you show how to use the USB." That's what this video is about! LOL! Maybe I'm misunderstanding your question. I always backed up my images on a CD, so not that different from keeping them on a USB.
Hi ....so, will the USB option allow me to download ANY lettering/fonts, words, or images i need onto my fabric?
Yes, as long as they are the right format for the machine. (Embroidery files)
I just got this machine and I was wondering if there was any way to add a design on top of another?
You can do this but I would do it in a program called Sew What Pro. It is an embroidery editing program. The cost is $65. Hope this helps
does anyone know if there is a way to use an imported font without having to go back every single time? It seems that I can only use one letter at a time. It gets time consuming and confusing. It is also hard to get the letters in the exact right spot when embroidering names or words. Any advice helps!
That's what I need to know. I am making name tapes for military use and this is ridiculously tedious.
Yes, I need to know how to do names as well.
I know this is old but it may help some. You need to download monog / letter sets instead of individual.
I added to memory towards me it’s loosen away from me it’s tightened.
Are you able to create your own designs and use them with this machine? I've looked everywhere with no luck...
Supposedly you can, but you need the right software. I think it's called "digitizing" software and it's not inexpensive. Brother has one "PE Design." There are several programs out there.
Do you have to change bobbin color while you are working on Embroidery
No, you either begin with white or black bobbin thread (it's a special thread, it's super thin....I don't know if it comes in more colors) and just switch out the top threads.
What format is the image supposed to be in??? I tried PSC and PSE and it was a no go.
TY! At about 5:15 minutes in I discuss that. (:
I bought a design from Etsy and I have the design but I don’t know how to download it or stitch it , I’m new to this lol any help ?
Edit : is it possible for you to do a view on this
I’m a beginner and wanted to know if there is a certain usb drive? I have one and it’s not working... I have the marvel edition which gives you the free download and it’s not letting me use gives me unable to use message
I'm sorry, I don't know what the problem could be. My machine had the Disney stuff loaded. The USB port should work, but if the design is too big the machine won't even bring it up as something you can use.
I went through these steps and my designs do not come up on the machine once I put the USB in. Do you know what else it could be?
Hello, it depends on how your computer saved them, and at times...if the image is too big for the machine...it will ignore it. So, it looks like nothing is there. Make sure you are saving the correct type of file and that the designs aren't too big. I know some of my designs were for 5" and bigger and the embroidery machine wouldn't even show them on the screen...like they didn't exist. It takes some messing with, but you'll get it. I'm sorry if I can't explain it as well as you might need.
I have an iPad is there any way I can upload it to usb or to the machine
I don't know, I'm sorry. I don't see why not.
How much time would it take for you to embroider that design without explaining your process? If you were to make for example 20 towels
Hmmm, probably 10-15 minutes. I know that's a big variation, but I don't recall. I'm just averaging what a design like this might take.
If the machine read the usb and I see the file but it doesn’t load and pictures what could possibly be the problem
IF THE IMAGE IS TOO BIG IT WILL IGNORE IT. Oops, sorry the caps lock was on. The images have to be sized small enough for the 4" hoop and then you will be able to see and use it.
@@VianneyCreates Thanks I just paid someone to digitize it for me Idk 🤷♀️ 😂 your video was very informative and helpful for a first timer. Thanks
If you skip half the process how will i know how to sew coffe? :(
It gets redundant, all you do is follow the prompts on your embroidery machine's screen...as I showed.
I don’t know how to save the files from a Mac book can you show me how??? I’ve been trying all day
I'm sorry, I haven't tried that...although I just got a new Mac. Maybe I'll follow up on that, but I don't know how soon that would happen.
I am interested in getting a machine, I am a beginner but have been sewing for 35 years plus. Is this a good starter machine?
I don’t need it for big projects
It's a very nice embroidery machine. The size that you can embroider isn't huge, so may be good for a beginner. It is only an embroidery machine. They do have combo machines (more pricey) that may be a better option so you can sew and embroider with it.
Can you use a picture from the internet too?
If you can digitize it for embroidery, then yes...but be careful of trademark issues (of course).
How can I add my own logo on the USB stick and open it in the machine?
It's not that easy...the logo would need to be "digitized" in embroidery software first. There are several on the market...a lot of people like "Embrilliance" software.
I never u a guide, use the machine to center and eyeball it haven't miss yet.
Is it possible to import your own custom logo?
Of course, you would have to design it and make it an embroidery file. You can buy programs that do that.
@@VianneyCreates HI! so if I made my own design and converted it to PES, I don't have to buy a program? on the HSN show it seemed like I had to buy that express program but its out of stock online. Thanks for you help!
your letters are always connecting like that?
This is kind of an old video...which letters?
How can I add my company logo to the machine?
You would have to digitize your design through a software that does that. I'm not super familiar with them, maybe Embrilliance? Then just upload it to the machine.
Could you do a tutorial on embroidering on vinyl with this machine, I just got this one and wanted to make some vinyl Christmas ornaments
Vinyl? I'm not real familiar with it as I don't use it often. The best thing I could say is that you probably want to use the stabilizer on the top and the bottom so the slick vinyl won't be too problematic.
Can u sew with it
This machine only embroiders, but Brother does have a Disney machine that does both.
Can I do my logo?
Yes, but you have to have images "digitized" with an embroidery software to import it. I have never done that, but there are tons of videos out there on it.
@@VianneyCreates but this machine can do something like that? (Logo)
Can I download and use ANY IMAGE ?? Like lets say I want to have a "fist with a crown" that shows that I'm a KING and that Black Lives Matter!? Make a small one for my little prince as well? Bascially want to know if I can find any JPEG and "embroid" it.
Unfortunately, embroidery machines don't work with JPEGs. They have certain types of files they read. However, you can make a JPEG into those files if you have the right software. (I don't know the names of that software, I'm sorry) Good luck!
@@VianneyCreates Excellent!! That's all I need to know. Let me know if you'd like what I find out. Thank you
Visuals Lee may be transfer. The image into png
O my God why I didn’t watch this first just left staples. So I can connect this to my laptop 💻 😱 Get outta here
