You already moved family up because you wanted it closer and saved it. You should only need to adjust the rest. I've had this machine for years and used once. Thanks for the tutorial so I can decorate my neighbor's daughter's clothes for her like I did my granddaughter.
Thank you for this video... I'm learning how to use my machine more. From this video, I have learned a lot...'how to add multiple words and how to check where the first letter would start... ...YOU GOT MY VOTE/Thumbs UP!..
This was the best explanation of how the buttons work and in what order to save the designs. Excellent . The book just doesn't explain it like this video. Thank you. I learned alot this evening.
Thank you. I usually go by the manual and this time I wanted to save time in making more than one line and of all the embroidery I have done over the years, I learned from this video.
Absolutely LOVE the explanations on how to save a pattern and adjust all the spacing. I may have to re-watch the tutorial but it was SUPER helpful because I was quite confused on the pattern explanation.
Thank you SO MUCH for your valuable info. I I've had my machine for awhile and use it often but learned so much today by watching your video. I appreciate your time and I will subscribe and look forward to learn more tips on sewing and embroidering on my SE-400. So thankful.!
Exactly the info I was looking for. I've been trying to do multiple lines and couldn't get it right. Then I found your tutorial. Thank you for posting this video
Your instructions were very clear. Everything I needed to know was addressed in this video. I will definitely come to your chanel for future trouble shooting. Thank you very much for sharing.
THIS VIDEO IS SO AWESOME!!!!!! I HAVE BEEN STRIVING TO DO MULTIPLE LINES FOREVER!!!!! THANKS TO THIS WONDERFUL VIDEO NOW I CAN. I APPRECIATE YOU FOR THIS VIDEO........KEEP THEM COMING!!!!!!!!#
Thank you for this video,I'm making a set of pot holders with embrodered words on the set for my sister in law and wasn't quiet sure how to do multiple words. Now I do!
Thank you very much for this video, it has been so helpful. for ages I've been trying to find out where the space button is, for the space between words. Now I know !!!!
Thank you so much for such an easy to follow instructional! I cannot begin to thank you enough for your detail and help here. Subscribing now to your page..you, lady, are someone I can learn from. Thanks!
Best tutorial I have ever watched on how to embroider several lines but being new to this concept can you explained how to then do it on the next garment?Not sure how to do this.I would like to embroider masks given the gravity of the situation we are in. May be it will make someone smile. Thank you!!
The easiest way to do it is to save each of your lines as line1, line2, line3, etc. When you start another mask, you'll select line1 that has already been saved as a file design on your machine. Then you'll select line2, etc. and you'll get another mask. Sorry but I don't record videos anymore.
Thanks for sharing your videos! I am getting my se400 Thursday & I’ve been watching your videos all weekend for preparation. I do have a question - what is the advantage of using the 5x7 hoop if the machine only registers 4x4?
I'm not sure if there is any advantage. It's the only hoop that came with my machine. I think that's why I was able to buy it for 1/2 the price of the regular machine. You might be able to buy the software for splitting designs in half and that might be an advantage to have the 5" x 7" hoop. You can buy a set of 3 hoops on Amazon for less than $30. The advantage of the biggest hoop is you can put a t-shirt in it and embroider a 4x4 design in the top and the bottom of the hoop without taking the t-shirt out of the hoop.
AWESOME VIDEO!!! Can’t thank you enough. Just one more question. Do you have a follow up part 2 video on how to retrieve pattern and print to something. Specifically, do you have to go to individual words and print them out one by one? And will they all be centered properly? Thank you again
There's isn't a part 2 on this video. The saved pattern is named as the first few letters in the design. You'll have to retrieve them line by line and one at a time on this machine. Better machines give you more options. They will maintain the proper spacing and starting location like any other created pattern. Page 150 in your manual tells you how to save and retrieve patterns. You can only save up to 12 patterns or 512KB. Here's a link to a downloadable manual if you need it. support.brother.com/g/b/manualtop.aspx?c=us&lang=en&prod=hf_se400eus
So basically what you're doing is saving each line with the spacing between lines, as separate files? Theoretically, on your PC you can save phrases in folders. Then when you want to repeat something later on, up load the appropriate individual files and viola!
That would be nice but unfortunately you can't transfer files from the SE-400 back to the computer. The only options after you use the design is to save it on the sewing machine or delete the file.
I just watch your video; I have a Brother se625 machine just got it last week; your video help me in some ways; Things I don't understand its in your video and other peoples; Why do you have to put that backing stablelizer stuff under the things you embroider? And do you change the bobbin color thread when you embroider? Please help me ; Thanks Melissa
Sorry I didn't respond earlier. I've been out of the country. You have to use a stabilizer under your fabric so the design will stitch out properly. I've tried stitching without it and I ended up with a mess. You should be using the bobbin thread that came with your machine. It looks like this on Amazon. www.amazon.com/Brother-SAEBT-Embroidery-Thread-White/dp/B001VTBSGO/ref=sr_1_4?hvadid=78202819569043&hvbmt=bb&hvdev=c&hvqmt=b&keywords=brother+60+embroidery+bobbin+thread&qid=1572989349&sr=8-4
I haven't try embroidering on felt yet but I've seen projects that turned out very nicely. I would just do an internet search for suggestions on what stabilizer works best with what type of felt you're going to be using.
Hello how are ya?! I have a question, do u got a video on how u transfer your own embroidery designs to the machine? Like is it don't with a flash drive? I wanna buy it but I'm not sure yet lol
Great Tute! When you first began video, you said the machine assumed the hoop to be 4x5?? But that hoop you are using is 5x7. How can you make the machine recognize that size?? tnx....
Thanks. The machine is programmed only for the small 3" and the 4" hoops. You can use the larger hoops but you can't change the machines programming. One way around it is to get a program that allows for file splitting so the machine can work the bigger designs. The hoop size in the video is a 5" x 7" but I can only upload 4" x 4" designs.
Is there enough room on the machine for the garment to embroider on the left chest of a tee shirt, polo shirt, or hoodie? Same question for the sleeve or arm location? Can you embroider on hats with this machine?
The simple answer is yes to all questions. For long sleeves, you will need to remove the stitching to lay the sleeve flat for embroidery then stitch the sleeve back together. Short sleeves can usually be maneuvered around the hoop so the back part will stay out of the way of the embroidery stitching. Polo shirts are easy if you don't want any embroidery on the pockets. Caps can be stitched on this machine if you have the correct hoop. They are available online. Here's a link to the amazon ones. www.amazon.com/Embroidery-Brother-LB6800PRW-LB6800THRD-Simplicity/dp/B0049O3M9E/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1541437900&sr=8-1&keywords=se-400+embroidery+hoops+for+caps
Only if you keep it on your machine for the whole year. I don't think this machine is able to save to an outside disk or storage unit. You need a more expensive model.
How do you embroidery something like a car and from one stich to another the machine leaves the thread sometimes the stitches are to long it looks like a big mess on the embroidery when the embroider is done? Do we need to cut all threads always? Or is a way to cut them by theirself? Thanks
It depends on what you're making. If it's on clothing I would use wash away or tear away stabilizer. It also depends on the density of the lettering. Cotton has a tendency to pucker it the stitches are too dense. Here's a pdf file that recommend type of stabilizer for different types of fabrics. Here's a link: www.emblibrary.com/EL/ELprojects/pdf/PR1153.pdf
Yes it would. If this was going to be a sewn on multiple items, I would have done another practice run to make sure that all the saved lines would be in alignment. This project would need additional adjustments.
You have to put thread color on the machine one at a time. The machine automatically stops between each of the colors and tell you what color to put on for the next set of stitches.
Each line is saved as a separate design in the machine. Once that line is saved you can keep it as long as you want as a stored file and keep retrieving it to use again. This machine cannot do multiple lines or multiple designs in one pass. You can embroider multiple designs on the same hooped piece of fabric. If you want a logo in the middle with one line of words on the top and bottom, you would have to load each design one at a time to get that result. If you have or get the software that let's you make up your own designs, you can do it. You can even have a company do it for you online and you can download the .pes file to your computer. There's a few websites that offer free digitizing software programs. You might want to look into it if you're thinking about getting this machine.
That usually happens because the thread is not coming of the spool smoothly. Try using a smaller spool cap or try rotating the spool of thread in the opposite direction. Make sure the thread isn't catching on the cut on top of the spool. If it's not the spool then rethread your machine and try it again.
Here's a link to what needle to use for the type of fabric that you are going to be sewing. www.sewing.org/files/guidelines/22_115_sewing_machine_needle_charts.pdf In this video I used a Schmetz embroidery needle 130/705 H-E 90/14.
Here's another needle chart. It's a little nicer because it has the color codes of the Schmetz needles. www.schmetzneedles.com/learning/pdf/schmetz-needle-chart.pdf
That usually happens when your fabric isn't pulled tight enough in the hoop. The needle has to come up above the fabric to start the next stitch. If it doesn't, the thread will loop into the next stitch which looks like a bubble.
I don't know. All the manual states is: If the available electrical outlet is not suitable for the plug supplied with this equipment, you should contact your authorized dealer to obtain the correct lead.
Maybe this is a stupid question, but can't you just memorize how many spaces down you did to get the next line where you wanted it and do all the other lines the exact same number of spaces down?
Technically yes but you would have to start each new line from the center top of the hoop and count down from there for each line. The machine automatically centers each new line to the center of the hoop.
You have to do it in 2 parts by using the plastic insert in the frame to figure out your spacing correctly. Another option is to use the digitalizing software to create a design of the whole name and upload it as one design.
I don't know if you can buy it in a store anywhere in Pakistan but it is available for purchase on AmazonPK. www.amazonshopping.pk/index.php?_a=amazonProducts/AmazonProuctView&cat=All&productId=B003AVMZA4
Technically, yes. The other two species of humans died out years ago. The Neanderthals about a million years ago and the Denisovans about 30,000 years ago. As homo sapiens, we're all the same species with common ancestry so welcome to the family.
The machine can be set to give instructions in multiple languages. There's Deutsch, Francais, Italiano, Nederlands, Espanol, Chinese, Dansk, Norsk, Suomi, Svenska, Portugues, Pyccknn, Simplified Chinese, and Hebrew. Some of the languages will give additional characters like letters with accents but not all.
Great video, but the dolls in the background stole my soul. Luckily, it was a lint-free soul, as they used the lint roller. On an unrelated note, did you know that they changed the D.A.R.E. Bear to a lion? Jesus would not approve of this. The thing with the bear, not the soul stealing lint brush wielding dolls. He's totally down with that. I should know because I'm a Christian and I go to church all the time and I really like it. God bless jesus and god bless you. Thank you for the video.
There is a MUCH easier way... All the way at the top, type your text then mark a dot in the middle of your first line (the machine stops there). All the way at the bottom, type your text then mark with a dot in the middle of your last line. If you have five lines, get a tape measure and mark FIVE equal dots starting with the first and ending with the last dot. This is easier if you use the metric scale. Align your middle text lines with the dots you made. They will be evenly spaced.
Let's do one on paper. Get our your calculator and a metric tape. You know the tape is graduated in centimeters and there are ten mm in each cm. So, let's say you did the first and last text lines and you marked each of the center dots. Let's say you have 6.6cm between those dots. If you want five lines total, that means you have three more dots between the first and last. Counting down from the first, there are FOUR dots. So, 6.5 divided by four = 1.625. Keep multiplying this number. So the second line dot is 1.625 (or 1.6cm) from the first dot. The third text dot is 1.625 x 2 = 3.25cm from the first line dot. the fourth text dot is 1.625 x 3 = 4.875 (4.9 cm) from the first text line dot and the fifth dot is already there but it is 1.625 x 4 = 6.5cm.These lines are exactly spaced equally without the need for trial and error. No 'test piece' is necessary and each text line you save to memory will be correct. The key to this is to find the multiplier. You can round the final answer but never round the multiplier. I grew up using 'inches' but I can't deny the ease in working with metric. Draw this example on a 3x5 card and hang it by your SE425. This method works for AL:L sizes of text and as many or few lines as you like. I use this when making pleats in car seats, especially when the bottom bench seat pleats must match the folding seat back pleats.
simplyconnected GMTA! Was going to suggest something very similar to what you wrote. Also could create a "sample template" in word processor and use it to mark/align multiple lines. Still... this was a nice vid explaining how to move around the screen and adjust the layout. Nice job.
You already moved family up because you wanted it closer and saved it. You should only need to adjust the rest. I've had this machine for years and used once. Thanks for the tutorial so I can decorate my neighbor's daughter's clothes for her like I did my granddaughter.
I have been trying for years to figure this out. Thank you so much for this very informative video. Now I will go try it out.

Hello how are ya?!
I have a question, do u got a video on how u transfer your own embroidery designs to the machine? Like is it don't with a flash drive? I wanna buy it but I'm not sure yet lol
You save your design on your computer and then you transfer the design to the embroidery machine via the USB cord that comes with the machine.

If you worked on a design is there a place or way to save it to use later...like the next year and I my change the date of the reunion?
Only if you keep it on your machine for the whole year. I don't think this machine is able to save to an outside disk or storage unit. You need a more expensive model.
How do you embroidery something like a car and from one stich to another the machine leaves the thread sometimes the stitches are to long it looks like a big mess on the embroidery when the embroider is done? Do we need to cut all threads always? Or is a way to cut them by theirself?

I cut all the loose threads after the stitching is complete. This machine doesn't cut them automatically.
What kind of stabilizer do you use for embroidering letters on cotton
fabric
It depends on what you're making. If it's on clothing I would use wash away or tear away stabilizer. It also depends on the density of the lettering.

Yes it would. If this was going to be a sewn on multiple items, I would have done another practice run to make sure that all the saved lines would be in alignment. This project would need additional adjustments.

how many threads can you put on at the same time or do you have to stop while its sewing to change the color to the pattern
You have to put thread color on the machine one at a time. The machine automatically stops between each of the colors and tell you what color to put on for the next set of stitches.
Diane Morello thank you I am planning on buying this machine
Can you make the machine do multiple lines in one design & embroider it in one pass? or do you have to design the words separately each time??
Each line is saved as a separate design in the machine. Once that line is saved you can keep it as long as you want as a stored file and keep retrieving it to use again. This machine cannot do multiple lines or multiple designs in one pass. You can embroider multiple designs on the same hooped piece of fabric.

i have a brother 240 ..... can i use these instructions?
I don't know. Try it and see if it works.
My machine is not pulling the top thread. How fast is it supposed to move??
That usually happens because the thread is not coming of the spool smoothly. Try using a smaller spool cap or try rotating the spool of thread in the opposite direction. Make sure the thread isn't catching on the cut on top of the spool. If it's not the spool then rethread your machine and try it again.
what needle do you use for sewing the J or N
Here's a link to what needle to use for the type of fabric that you are going to be sewing. www.sewing.org/files/guidelines/22_115_sewing_machine_needle_charts.pdf In this video I used a Schmetz embroidery needle 130/705 H-E 90/14.
Here's another needle chart. It's a little nicer because it has the color codes of the Schmetz needles. www.schmetzneedles.com/learning/pdf/schmetz-needle-chart.pdf
What if stitches is bubbling up?
That usually happens when your fabric isn't pulled tight enough in the hoop. The needle has to come up above the fabric to start the next stitch. If it doesn't, the thread will loop into the next stitch which looks like a bubble.
Isn’t there a mathematical way to figure spacing? Or just “eyeballing?”
Probably but I'm not smart enough to figure it out. The machine start every new line at the center point in the design and calculates from there.
does it work at 180V AC?
I don't know. All the manual states is: If the available electrical outlet is not suitable for the plug supplied with this equipment, you should contact your authorized dealer to obtain the correct lead.
Comprei uma SE425 brother.Preciso de um manual em português. Alguém pode me ajudar como proceder por favor.
Sinto muito, mas eu não conseguia encontrar um manual escrito em Português na Internet.
Maybe this is a stupid question, but can't you just memorize how many spaces down you did to get the next line where you wanted it and do all the other lines the exact same number of spaces down?
Technically yes but you would have to start each new line from the center top of the hoop and count down from there for each line. The machine automatically centers each new line to the center of the hoop.
Ah, ok. Gotcha.
Why can't I add this to any of my saved videos?
I don't know why. I don't have any restrictions on it.
How do I embroider a name with 6-7 letters in all large caps
You have to do it in 2 parts by using the plastic insert in the frame to figure out your spacing correctly. Another option is to use the digitalizing software to create a design of the whole name and upload it as one design.
Is this available in Pakistan?
I don't know if you can buy it in a store anywhere in Pakistan but it is available for purchase on AmazonPK. www.amazonshopping.pk/index.php?_a=amazonProducts/AmazonProuctView&cat=All&productId=B003AVMZA4
I see Wilson on the fabric. Are we related?
Technically, yes. The other two species of humans died out years ago. The Neanderthals about a million years ago and the Denisovans about 30,000 years ago. As homo sapiens, we're all the same species with common ancestry so welcome to the family.
Ok. Wow! That was deep. I was just making a joke because my middle name and my grandpa's last name was Wilson. But your answer was good too!
Does it make multiple languages for example Arabic?
The machine can be set to give instructions in multiple languages. There's Deutsch, Francais, Italiano, Nederlands, Espanol, Chinese, Dansk, Norsk, Suomi, Svenska, Portugues, Pyccknn, Simplified Chinese, and Hebrew. Some of the languages will give additional characters like letters with accents but not all.

Ok, thank you so much for your care, good job.
Hi. Dear. Do you have a email. I need send photos of my es-400 showme one message of error but I dont know what is the mean of this.
You can email me at dollshoepatterns@yahoo.com. I don't know all the error messages but I'll check my manual.
Thanks
Great video, but the dolls in the background stole my soul. Luckily, it was a lint-free soul, as they used the lint roller. On an unrelated note, did you know that they changed the D.A.R.E. Bear to a lion? Jesus would not approve of this. The thing with the bear, not the soul stealing lint brush wielding dolls. He's totally down with that. I should know because I'm a Christian and I go to church all the time and I really like it. God bless jesus and god bless you. Thank you for the video.
Couldn’t you have just reduced the font size of the date?
Yes.
There is a MUCH easier way... All the way at the top, type your text then mark a dot in the middle of your first line (the machine stops there).
All the way at the bottom, type your text then mark with a dot in the middle of your last line. If you have five lines, get a tape measure and mark FIVE equal dots starting with the first and ending with the last dot. This is easier if you use the metric scale. Align your middle text lines with the dots you made. They will be evenly spaced.
Thanks for the info. I'll give it a try. It sure sounds like an easier way of doing multiple lines.
Let's do one on paper. Get our your calculator and a metric tape. You know the tape is graduated in centimeters and there are ten mm in each cm. So, let's say you did the first and last text lines and you marked each of the center dots. Let's say you have 6.6cm between those dots. If you want five lines total, that means you have three more dots between the first and last. Counting down from the first, there are FOUR dots. So, 6.5 divided by four = 1.625. Keep multiplying this number. So the second line dot is 1.625 (or 1.6cm) from the first dot. The third text dot is 1.625 x 2 = 3.25cm from the first line dot. the fourth text dot is 1.625 x 3 = 4.875 (4.9 cm) from the first text line dot and the fifth dot is already there but it is 1.625 x 4 = 6.5cm.These lines are exactly spaced equally without the need for trial and error. No 'test piece' is necessary and each text line you save to memory will be correct. The key to this is to find the multiplier. You can round the final answer but never round the multiplier. I grew up using 'inches' but I can't deny the ease in working with metric. Draw this example on a 3x5 card and hang it by your SE425. This method works for AL:L sizes of text and as many or few lines as you like. I use this when making pleats in car seats, especially when the bottom bench seat pleats must match the folding seat back pleats.
It didn't work for me but I'm not the sharpest tack in the box. Hopefully it will help someone else. Thanks for sharing.
It absolutely works. Do it on paper because sometimes a graphic makes more sense. Start with a top dot and a bottom dot, then follow the directions.
simplyconnected GMTA! Was going to suggest something very similar to what you wrote. Also could create a "sample template" in word processor and use it to mark/align multiple lines.
Still... this was a nice vid explaining how to move around the screen and adjust the layout. Nice job.
