If you will just go to http://www.brother-usa.com/supplies/accessorylist.aspx?Model=PC6500#.U76WY_ldXng you can find out all about what works with your PC6500 machine. Then click on "bobbins" it says that your machine uses SA155 bobbins (size 9.4). If you click on the tab "embroidery thread" it lists pre-wound bobbins PWB200 (white) & PWB200B (black) as suitable for your machine. You can order these bobbins from http://www.walmart.com/ip/Brother-Pre-wound-Black-Embroidery-Bobbin-Thread/34083995 (black $8.25) or go to Brothermall.com & put in your machine number (PC6500) then click on "embroidery thread" you can find the white pre-wound bobbins PWB200 (white $14.99) and black PWB200B (black $15.99). You can also buy spools of embroidery bobbin threads at any sewing machine dealer or online, You can also go to Amazon.com, click on "arts, crafts & sewing" then search for Brother PWB200 or PWB200B pre-wound bobbins" & both will pop-up for you ($8 - $9/pkg). Of course, you could just buy some more of your size bobbins SA155 & just wind your own as you need them just like you do your regular thread. JoAnn's & Hancocks may carry spools of 60 wt. embroidery bobbin thread. You could also go to your local Brother sewing machine dealer to buy what you need but you will usually pay more. I would definitely take the time to note somewhere in your computer or in your sewing machine manual (or buy a manual for your machine from Brother) both the bobbin number SA155 & the bobbin size 9.4 and that the bobbin thread they sell in the pre-wound bobbins is a 60 wt bobbin thread for future reference. Hope that this helps.

Yes if you are using a Brother embroidery machine for sure. Other embroidery machines maybe. You can type several words depending on the size of the font and the hoop you are using with your machine. I hope this helps.

Yes, I installed it on a TEHX-C series tajima embroidery machine, it works very well.

Absolutely. Viking machines use a HUS, VIP, or SHV format for their embroidery files. PE Design Next can export files created in their software into these and many more file formats to work with not only Viking but Singer, Tajima, Babyloc, and a host of others.

You have a couple of options. If you have editing software, you can design a file with the full word and import it. If it's a fairly small word, you can use the preinstalled text editor (NOT the monogram) and type words. It's not an awesome machine for things like embroidering names on jerseys, because it's hard to get the alignment right, but it can be done. There are accessories you can buy that give you a larger field, but your embroidery field stays the same--you can just continue the word without having to re frame your fabric. Hope this helps!

the smallest you have, I think is best for a fast transfer to your embroidery machine. I used a 500 MB USB stick and I even could find one of 15 MB . There is also a tutorial on loading designs: http://blog.tv-sewingcenter.com/janome/getting-that-embroidery-design-to-your-janome/ Succes!

We have quite a few "embroidery" shops in the city where we live...I can't answer that question, so could only suggest if you can find such a shop you could take one in and ask them the question. Or, please wait for another's response!

This machine is not for this purpose. I can recommend a "stand-alone" machine. It is Janome E for embroidery. It is the best stand-alone out there and it will do a lot of what you want to do. One of the reasons I like and insist on a stand-alone, is I can sew on my machine and have my Embroidery machine do an entirely different project - at the same time. If you get a sewing and embroidery combo....it ties you up doing one project at a time. I HIGHLY recommend that you get a separate machine just for embroidery.

I'm not sure about embroidery, they are a little thin and stiff. I heat ironed on little decals, using a towel to keep the heart from melting the apron.

Yes I believe so. Make sure you use an embroidery needle and you'll probably needba net over the thread to control it.

The 6600 has 28 more stitch types to choose from. Otherwise not too much different.

I've researched this unit for my wife & found these Brother machines a similar series: Sixty-stitch BC 1000/CP 6500/CS 6000I/CS 6000T/EX 660 Seventy-stitch HS 2500/CP 7500/XR 7700 Seventy-seven-stitch ES 2000 Eighty-stitch XR 9000 It seems cosmetics, number of stitches, and low price variations are the only differences

The machine does not operate hooked up to a computer. You load any new embroidery patterns (any that did not come with the machine) from a USB memory stick so your operating system is irrelevant. You would download embroidery patterns onto a memory stick and then plug the memory stick into the embroidery machine. The only time your operating system would be relevant was if you purchased software to make your own embroidery patterns. Hope this helps.

Yes, if you design something on your computer, you can upload it to the machine and it has several built-in fonts where you can embroider names or initials.

This machine does not have quilting templates. It does off different stitches that are indicated on the front of the machine. My main focus for using this machine is for the embroidery portion.

This is a kit. It comes in pieces and you will have to put it together and do all the embroidery yourself. Good luck!
