Thank you! Be Blessed, DTG

Thank you... I will be getting back to designs soon... open to suggestions. Be Blessed, DTG

thanks for your help with best practices. (how is your new machine working out?)

@@DavidTGould oh it is wonderful. Thank you. I have been switching between them all. I don't think I could ever part with the Brother machines I have.

Yes thank you for the information and time you put into this video

Thank you! Be Blessed, DTG

I have seen tension change by thread / spool / bobbin.

Thanks, Be Blessed, DTG

congratulations on purchase... sorry for delayed response... I use Amazon: www.amazon.com/s?k=brother+se600+thread&ref=nb_sb_noss_1

Try Googling "Brother SE600 vs SE630" My SE600 is able to identify thread colors by the stitch program. Keep in mind that the color on the machine just shows area to be embroidered... you can load any color thread you want. IF your SE630 has a return policy give it a try! I just use test fabric to try out onboard patterns and custom ones I made. HAVE FUN! Be Blessed, DTG

@@DavidTGould Ahh thank you! Ihave gone to the Brother website but didnt have much luck. However I wont give up lol. I learn better by visuals rather than reading a manual but ive learned how to be more patient when it comes to sewing/embroidery machines lol. Mine looks very similar to yours. Wish me luck 😊

Sorry for delay... just found your question. Yes the SE600 has a +/- "button" that allows you to move forward or backward from your last stitch... If you look on upper right of touch screen (when pattern is ready to embroider - green light) you will see each color and the time it will take to stitch out. So... IF you wanted to skip (or go back) a color (step) you can use the +/- then press the +spool to the right to move forward or the -spool to the right to move backward. Hope this helps. Be Blessed, DTG

May need to use embroidery stabilizer underneath.

Adjust your tension wheel. Always use a stabilizer.

I had to replaced the needle threader , it works now.

Lift needle up arm... I start at the top... there is a resistance wheel... try putting that on #3... there is a sewing speed setting... slow it to middle lower setting... next, is your thread binding at the spool? (I use smaller cap or no cap) next feed by number through machine you should not feel resistance while loading to the point of auto threading needle... once you auto thread you can (easy does it) pull thread smoothly through (may not be recommended but it is the only way I know to check) IF the thread spools off from the top smoothly with very slight drag / resistance top thread should be ready... next check bottom thread bobbin for loading / feeding... I recommend factory wound lower bobbins starting out to be sure they are wound evenly. (be sure to watch loading direction) lastly... try simple straight sewing stitch either using touch pad or pre-set BASIC embroidery pattern on simple piece of material like old t-shirt or cloth napkin with hoop and basic stabilizer. lower you needle arm... light goes green. start and run for short 3 - 4 second burst(s) then longer if ok... LISTEN to your machine... it should run and sound super quite and smooth with no "hammering" or banging noise. STOP... lift up needle arm (light turns red) gently move your material back and forth under needle (be careful not to get your finger under needle) upper and lower thread should be loose enough to move material just a little up / down / side to side. IF your thread is binding it will be too tight to move material pretty quickly. IF it is tight using tweezers gently tug on upper and lower thread... binding one is your issue. Keep in mind there are other factors: needle, material, computer pattern programming stitching too tight, cheap thread (tug on thread does it snap under little to no pressure?) These machines are awesome once you get the basics down pat.

Sorry to hear. Did you change anything? Thread, bobbin, material or needle recently? Are you having same problem with other patterns?Have you rethreaded machine and bobbin? (May want to try another) Sounds to me like there may not be enough tension on thread) IF you don't get it you are welcome to send images of front and back of embroidery.

@@DavidTGould what needle/brand would you recommend to embroider with the Brother se600?

Did you figure out thread issue?

@@DavidTGould not yet. I ordered the correct needle and will see if that helps. 🤞🏻

hmmm... I don't know for sure... Are you using pre-wound bobbins? the lower bobbin case has tension settings... it could be that you do not have enough tension from the bottom IF the top tension is not adjusting the amount of showing thread. I will try to find video showing bobbin tension adjustment. Be Blessed, DTG

video here shows bobbin case tension adjustment. be careful to adjust correct screw... video will start around 18 minute mark: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-d6rPZgPDKxI.html Hope this helps. Be Blessed, DTG
