I think you can slow down. Half speed. I just read that in the manual. Have not done it yet.

When you turn on your machine, press the middle button on the bottom. It looks like a page. The needle count will show. Press the forward arrow key until you see machine speed. The 650 speed is probably highlighted. Press the 350 speed. Hope this will help.

I also am new to embroidery. I got the PE770 for christmas and promised my swimteam that I would embroider the school's name on their jackets. (32 kids).
I contacted Brother USA and they sent me a very nice e-mail. They recommended to use size 14 needle. The jackets were 100% polyester and had a very dense weave. I did have trouble with the machine embroidery thread though. It kept on breaking. I guess it shredded because of the density. I ended up using 100% all purpose thread and they came out beautiful. Thank goodness, I did not ruin one single one. I admit being very nervous. Now I can play. I just made a lace ornament bell. Used size 11 needle and had embroidery thread which I could not use on jackets in both top and bobbin. It came out beautiful. In other words, try different things!!! p.s. love my PE770 |

I just got a Brother PE 770 embroidery machine and have a lot to learn! I have been using the size 11 Organ needle that came with the machine. How will I know when a design is denser and may require a larger needle, e.g. 14? What signs do I look for that my needle is not the right size for the design? TIA
For a dense design you need an extra piece of stabilizer under the design. If my design size is thick and larger than quarter, i slide an extra piece under the design. I use window film as my first piece to lay my fabric on because it is sticky and cheap. It cost 45.00 for the roll, but it will last a life time. I've digitized over a 1100 designs and i've only used about half of it. I hoop the inside hoop with the film, run a glue stick around the area, then lay my fabric down, not hooped. I then slide the stabilizers under the design area. I use needle size 9 on very light weight fabrics, 12 on most everything else, 14 or leather for heavier fabrics like jeans. Just keep at it, it's fun. |
