OMG!!! Very very new to embroidery. Have messed up a few projects apparently cause im using the wrong stabilizer. This AMAZING video is going to save me!!! I was about to give up on my new hobby!! Thank you so much!!
It's crazy how important the right stabilizer is for certain projects - can really make or break the success. You might enjoy my friend Jaime's channel as well - she knows more than me about stabilizer! ruclips.net/channel/UCo7ogs4dbQG1j81eY5ITuXw
Thank you Jen for the Stabilizer video! I finally got the chance to open up my PE800 (only sat in my kitchen calling my name for two weeks now). I had no idea what stabilizer to use, I did order the cut away stabilizer and was relieved to see you talked about it. Thank you for the videos....keep them coming, because you just became my new Best Friend! Gail
This is extremely helpful to me. I'm a new machine embroidery user. I was getting so confused on which type of stabilizer to use. Now I can proceed with confidence. Thank you.
My being a beginner at embroidery, the basics is a great way to learn. I saved what videos of yours that I’ve watched so far, by emailing them to myself and creating a special folder for them...thus, access to watch them is faster. Taking notes always helps too.
Thanks so very much for making these videos and giving all us "newbies" lots of great tips for using the PE800...you are the reason I took the plunge and purchased this machine!
Please make more videos on the machine. I got the same machine back in December and been too afraid to use. The stabilizer video is great. I was so confused on which to use. I have been trting to watch your videos very helpful!!!
I’m in a pickle! When attempting to embroider a microfiber towel (bought at Dollar Tree), I used the ‘Tear-away’ stabilizer. The designs I used were ‘Frosty’ (written text) and a figure of a snowman (Frosty himself). On the first attempt to do the written text, came out too small and hardly readable, so I enlarged the text size...this was much better. The finished embroidery of ‘Frosty’ wasn’t so great. I had it rather small, about an inch and a half in height. The stitching wasn’t dense enough, in fact, the back of it appears to look better, lol! What type of stabilizer would you suggest I use for a light weight microfiber towel? Practicing on such an item as these may not be so wise...but I have so many of them. They make great hand towels because they air-dry quickly when used frequently. So easy to wash too. Do you have any suggestions on what types of materials to use for practicing and learning how to embroider? I appreciate your help 💖
Your tips and information are really helpful, especially for ‘newbies’ like myself, lol! Have you ever thought about writing a book or newsletter that would benefit both experienced and newbies? I appreciate all you do in the many videos you’ve made. Thanks!
Thanks for the info, Jenn! I’m tempted by embroidery but haven’t jumped in yet. I have a few sewing goals I want to achieve before I let myself be distracted by a new toy. 😉
I love your tutorials! This one was great! Thsnk you. I have printed it out. Looking forward to more of your tutorials . I just purchased the Brother PE800.
Thanks Jen for these amazing videos. I just got my Brother PE800 a week ago and am super excited and educating myself with your videos. Wanted to ask if you have tried the bobbins that came with the embroiderix package and also for reference what size needles should we keep on hand that will be used often with this machine. Thank you so much for all the info!
Wow I don't think I got bobbins with my Embroidex kit, guess they're worth a go? Keep several different sizes on hand but I largely use 75/11, 80/12, and 90/14
Hey, thank you for the good explanation. As a newbie in this business, I have a problem with the no-show mesh stabilizer. The problem is, when I make test of the t-shirt after first washing, these little cross symbols from the stabilizer appear on the embroidery part and it isn't look so nice. Any suggestions to handle that problem?
Hello! New subbie here and was wondering have you embroidered on satin or delicate type of materials yet, and if so what are your recommended needle, stabilizer of tips to do so
I am embroidering on a quilt for the quilting part of it. This means that the embroidery will go thru all layers and be seen on the back of the quilt. It is cotton fabric. Would you use the water soluable so it will not show at all?
Which stabilizer do use if you dont want to fuse it. What is tear away stabilizer?? I need a fabric stabilizer that temporarily sticks and then comes off so it doesn't show on my fabric. I don't want wash away. What do you suggest???
Which weight stabilizer should I use when embroidering vinyl? I have the PE800 and I’m so overwhelmed right now that I’m ready to throw the machine away
I use the transparent water soluble stabilizer, but for fabrics i can't mark my design on (for hand embroidery), so i do it over the film, on fabrics like velvet, furry fabrics or even linen if the design is intrincated enough. Then, i find it difficult for the fabric to stay the same after the water. The velvet is the most difficult (the hairs are all messed up). I Firstly, put my work over the foset, it didn't work because it messed up the fabric... then, on a bowl with water and let is stay, but with no luck.. What do you recommend?, is there another better solution in the market? Thank you!
It seems like a lot of machine embroiderers choose to "float" fabrics like velvet on top of the hoop. If it's a light color, you could make markings directly on the fabric with an air soluble marker and they would disappear.
You really gotta test out scrap fabric (use the same type of material) first on different settings. There's not really a standard answer as so many factors can affect tension.
The PE800 does not have Disney designs included. I believe you might be able to purchase designs separately through Brother, but keep in mind that the license is for personal non-commercial use only so you can't sell Disney items. www.ibroidery.com/DesignList.aspx?CatID=14
Let me know what other types of embroidery machine videos you'd like to see! I'm planning to make more.
Would you do one on choosing needles for.the Brother 800?
Sewing Report can you give a tutorial on downloading digital embroidery designs and using them.
I'm backtracking a little..I didn't comment alot in past years but I wanted you to know your video has the best info on stabilizers.! Thanks ! 🤩

Great and informative video!! I've been doing machine embroidery for about 10 years and you've hit everything right on the nose. Thanks!!!
You have no idea how happy that makes me! I'm always worried / stressed out about presenting correct and accurate information.
Please make more videos on the machine. I got the same machine back in December and been too afraid to use. The stabilizer video is great. I was so confused on which to use. I have been trting to watch your videos very helpful!!!
So glad you have found them helpful! I need to shoot more about the PE800...
I just ordered my machine! I would like to see you do a video on different threads and which ones are the ones to get!
You are the best, I really enjoy all the information you give us first time embroiders.
I’m a beginner and really enjoy your videos. I’m definitely learning a lot. Thanks!
THANK YOU!!
Thank you Jennifer for sharing this video. I am new to embroidering and this video was very informative.
Please keep your PE 800 videos coming. Love your videos very informative. Can you show common errors and solutions?
Would you make a tutorial on how to line up embroider designs on shirts and a full tutorial on appliqué with your machine?

Congrats!!!! Welcome to the world of embroidery!
Thank you for the video. I now have a better understanding of the different stabilizers.
Great video. Very helpful. Love your sticky water soluble stabilizer hack. Genius!

I'm new to your channel, I just recently purchase PE800 (1 week ago). I would love to follow you on making a patch.
You're awesome! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience.
A phrase I heard to remember whosh stabilizer to use is,
If it's something to wear, then do not tear.
Great phrase!
I love your videos...
Thanks for sharing your experiences and knowledge.

Hello! New subbie here and was wondering have you embroidered on satin or delicate type of materials yet, and if so what are your recommended needle, stabilizer of tips to do so
Is it best to use the same color thread in the bobbin as the top stitch? Also what all would you use for embroidering baby blanket?
I am embroidering on a quilt for the quilting part of it. This means that the embroidery will go thru all layers and be seen on the back of the quilt. It is cotton fabric. Would you use the water soluable so it will not show at all?
Which stabilizer do use if you dont want to fuse it. What is tear away stabilizer?? I need a fabric stabilizer that temporarily sticks and then comes off so it doesn't show on my fabric. I don't want wash away. What do you suggest???
Thank you so much! Your videos are very helpful :)
Good timing! Thanks for the info!! 😀
This is a video I've been wanting to do for a while!
Thank you for a very intormative video. Very helpful 😊
Best information! Thank you!
😍 love your videos, you explain so well
I bought colored bicycle bands found in automotive area of dollar tree and they wrap around stabilizer and you can write on them name of stabilizer.
That's an awesome tip!
I really like the videos, I would like a video about vinyl appliqué and Mylar embroidery.
Thank you! I've had so-so luck with vinyl canvas can't recommend it at the moment...
Thank you for this! Very informative. 😃👍🏻
Wish you could come over and guide me! I’m so scared to use the machine and ruin it :(
Which weight stabilizer should I use when embroidering vinyl? I have the PE800 and I’m so overwhelmed right now that I’m ready to throw the machine away
Great video. Thank you!
Thank you for stopping over!
Great Info! INFINITE BLESSINGS 🧿✨
so you just pin the water soluble stabilizer on top?
Awesome video, thank you so much 😍
Thank you 🙏🏻♥️
do you use 2 of no mesh for tee shirts ?

Would using this stop the outlining being off of the design
Great post! ♥
Thanks Alison!
Thanks
Can you tell us what tension you put the machine on when you are doing t shirts?
You really gotta test out scrap fabric (use the same type of material) first on different settings. There's not really a standard answer as so many factors can affect tension.
This is difficult 😞 I ask for my birthday embroidery machine 😕 I sew for long but not embroidery
I have a Brother PE535, will the starter kit work for my machine?
Should be fine - it's not based on machine, but the stabilizer it comes with only works for hoops up to 5x7
Good afternoon, hope all is well on your end. Thanks for this video, look forward on learning your perspective on PE800. Have a lovely day.
I need PE800 machine I lived in Asia country kindly tell me charges and price.. please oblige..
Does this machine come with an embroidery foot?
Yes it comes with the foot you need to do embroidery
Does the brother machine have Disney characters?
The PE800 does not have Disney designs included. I believe you might be able to purchase designs separately through Brother, but keep in mind that the license is for personal non-commercial use only so you can't sell Disney items. www.ibroidery.com/DesignList.aspx?CatID=14
Is the pe 770 about the same as pe800 ?
The PE800 is the newer version with some upgrades like a more advanced touch screen.
