- Here’s some stuff that would’ve been great to know before I ventured into embroidery. In this tutorial, I cover some basics, reuse of materials, common show stopper problems, and some not so common problems with the upper thread sensor and how to mitigate it. I’m hoping a lot of people find this video helpful! If you do, feel free to share the video link or click ads if you feel like it’s worth it. ^_^ Anything is much appreciated.
Starting at 10:17 you’ll see a quick run-through of an eye at 16x normal speed until 12:29.

I got one minute into your video and tried the paper in the bobbin trick and it made a HUGE difference!!! Thank you!
Oh my, so I have the SE 400 and was so upset with issues. Once I used the plastic wrap my project came out perfect. You are the best😍😍
Thank you Adam for a very informative video. You've covered tips and tricks that I've never heard before, which is very helpful. Hope you'll carry on posting. Regards from North Wales UK
Mr. Humphreys, I love the tips, especially reusing stabilizer and being able to use plastic wrap for the top layer! Great advise, can't wait to try it. Also enjoyed the mechanical workings of the machines, very useful. Helps me to know where to look when things aren't sewing properly. Looking forward to more of your embroidery tips and tricks. Thanks, Marilyn
I have watched several embroidering videos this am and yours was by far the most informative! I am just getting started on my 525 brother and already feel a bit more comfortable with it. I will look for more videos as I go. Thanks.
Very glad to hear, and thank you for the encouragement!
I like the plastic wrap tip. It definitely saves money compared to using solvy stabilizer on large embroidery areas
I've been having problems using the plastic bobbins that come with the machine too, (loose stitches on the top), and have been using the metal ones from my old Kenmore machine (similar to Singer). I don't know why they work better, but they do. But thanks to you, now I know what to do to make my plastic bobbins work by putting in some material underneath. I hope that trick works for me too.
That make sense. The metal bobbins are heavier, so they naturally give the thread more tenacity. Let me know how that trick works for you! So far I haven't had any particular problems with plastic bobbins, but I always rewind on metal ones for embroidery. I just use the plastic ones for short runs where the color matters on the bottom of a stitch.
I put a bit of knit underneath (cut in a circle) and so far it works with the same bobbin that didn't work before. Thank you for that wonderful tip.
I love this dude! State of the art for sure. That's how I roll myself. I'm not paying all that money for stabilizers that I'm going to tear up and throw away. Great video. I learned a lot from this.
Thank you for the tips. My upper thread just got tangled around my bobbin and that has never happened before. When I got my machine the brother SE400 it told me not to use the metal bobbins because it can damage the machine. Now I know that is to be not true. Another thing is that my upper thread some times break, I adjust the tension and then it would be too loose. Thank you for this
bought one of your pony plushies years ago and now i'm watching your vids on tips with my machine, small world!
That was nice to watch. Now I know a couple new tricks with the plastic wrap and where to place my large thread cones.
Thank you.
You're welcome!
Hi Adam, I have been driven mad 😠 with thread breaks and looping when embroidering . I’m just trying your little tip with stabiliser in the bobbin holder and up to now it seems to be working. Thanks for the tips on the cling film that will save a lot of cash 💰.

not only did the information help before i got started on the embroidery, YOU MAKE PONIES AAAAAAH! That's so flipping awesome!
+Discord Chaos Heheh, glad to please! :D Hope to start making more to go along with them in due time: ruclips.net/video/Fsqx2ce-9gw/видео.html ^^
ill be sure to check out the link :)
Oh my goodness no wonder my neeldes kept breaking. I never knew that the tangles came from the thread falling off the arm, so I'd miss it until it was horrendously too late. Half the time my needles would get stuck and break. Thank you for this!
Great video! Do you use plastic wrap for everything or just certain fabrics? Also at what tension do you like to embroider? Thank you.....
state of the art!! XD!! I just about died of laughter. Great video, very helpful and insightful. Going to try this today provided there is no lightning later on. :) I'm on D.A! ^^
Wow, this is a great video! Thanks for this video, never know when I may need this source! Thank you sew much for your time!
Heheh, no probs! Loved the pun! XD Can't believe I haven't seen this yet. (Well, actually the notifications were showing up blank for a bit. :/)
Hi really enjoyed your video. I was wondering if you could help me with one of my problems. When I embroid a stock design (or any design for that matter), the tension for the first thread will be fine however after I changed the thread it becomes looser and looser until it jams. Do you know what could be causing this or how to fix it. I have had this machine (Brother PE540D) for two years and never got a full design out of it. PLEASE HELP!
How many layers of denim can this machine see through??? What is the needle size & thread size would you use ??? Thank you
SEW through denim how may layers does the se400 sew through?
Is there any way to embroidery straight onto the sleeve of a sweatshirt?
Do you think the plastic wrap trick would work on top of towels? I was just about to go out and buy some Sulky water soluble at Joann Fabric. We just received a Keurig and I was wondering if the thicker plastic they wrap the items in would work as well. What do you think? By the way, I reuse my stabilizer too. Lol.
I'd certainly think so. And if the plastic bags seem fairly pliable, I wouldn't think a little thicker would hurt. Just keep in mind that the plastic wrap/plain plastic trick is really only ideal for solid regions. If you have a lot of open areas, picking away the plastic could get tedious. (Can't remember whether I mentioned that in the video or not.) And yay for recycling!
The lady at the Viking dealer at JoAnn Fabric told me a friend of hers who embroiders towels for a living, uses dry cleaning bags. So cool.
Awesome tips!
When I use the cling wrap ,it sticks out on my black thread when I do the eye. Do you think I have the right one? Thnx
I can't really say whether there is a right one or not. ^^ I usually stitch with a density of 6 stitches per mm, to that may be a contributing factor.

I have a Brother LB6800. My thread keeps sliding out of the thread guide on the needle bar. Driving me nuts!
+corinne geddings Hopefully it's not causing any problems?
Thank you x your time.thank u x the tips and tricks
I am confused. I read that plastic wrap can be used as a substitute for a stabilizer. Why are you using both?
Brother Manuel states not supposed to use a mental bobbin
Hello .I have a problem with my se400 in stitch. it stitch's oppsites way from back to front. I want to now how to fixed . Please help me .
It sounds like an issue with the design file itself rather than the SE400. Not sure how I can help. :(
my pe770 has an issue of top thread breaking constantly! i can't even get through many stitches in one color! What do i do and how can i see if the top tension is the issue. which way in the wheel u showed is lessen or tighten? help, i NEED my embroidery machine to help my dtr and her business!!
Ms. Sherlock, my experience with my machine a Janome 9900 regarding thread sometimes breaking, I slow the stitching down especially if the fabric is thicker. Marilyn
Are you using embroidery thread?
so you have used the sohiesew software? how was it? cant believe its free
I use it exclusively, it's awesome! :D ... Once you get used to it. I really need to update my tutorials for it.
new to embroidery, so can I import a jpeg and turn into a PES file to embroider on my brother xe 5100? If you don't mind I would love to see a demonstration. I need all the help I can get.
To your specific question, no in two ways: there's no automated converter, and it doesn't support PES. However, you can manually design it with a JPG as a place holder using the tool that looks like a paint brush on the lower left tool panel. Then you'd make your design on top of it and export it as a DST file. My Brother machines support DST files just fine, but I'd try it out on your XE 5100 first to make sure. A design may take a while to load depending on the size, but they have always loaded for me. I cover the rest of the process in my dated SophieSew tutorials. :)
how about towels ,any tips
I WONDER WOULD THESE TRICK WORK ON A SINGER EMBROIDERY MACHINE LIKE STUDIO S10?
Just off-hand, I'll say the principles are probably the same, but the upper thread sensor might work differently depending on how it was programmed. :)
so this plastic stuff actually works? the solvy stabilizer is STUPID expensive if this works im never going to use that other stuff
Did it work well?
I have a little trouble understanding everything (i'm french), but it is interesting ;)
Thank you! I'm sure my accent doesn't help. ^^'

put the CC (closed caption) function on while listening and this may help.
This guy sounds like the handy man out of scary movie 2 🤣🤣🤙
Jordan Clark hahahah that's his strong hand!
thankyou!!!!
Why does my EMBRODIERY outline does not line up around my embrodiery.
You mean a satin/zig-zag stitch border around a region? Unless tension is getting too tight, compensation or a good felt backing stabilizer make a big difference.
Cool

Buys a $1000+ machine and uses cling film, lol
