How do I know what kind of stitches the letters stand for? Most machines have it drawn out on the machine, but I don't see it in pictures.

On the top of the machine is a plastic panel that flips up that has a picture of all the stitches.

I am a new serger user, so all I can do is guess based on problems that I solved on other sewing machines. Check you needles and make sure they are not bent or rubbing. Clean all lint and dust. Rethread using manual as guide. I usually find my problem when I do those three things. Please let us know how the problem is solved when it is. :) Good luck!

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

If the design fits into the frame the machine will stitch it. It's based on the dimensions of the design not the amount of stitches.

Because you are using tearaway stabilizer. Is this a denser design? Tear away is great for hand stitching and light stitching. "Redwork", etc. However, on more detailed and denser designs (especially the compact ones), you end up sewing yourself holes in the stabilizer and it no longer does its job. I had a lot of issues with this until I found out what was going on. I never have that problem with cut away stabilizer, which is better for garments and holds up better in the wash, too. I very rarely use tearaway because of this issue.

My Embroidery machine uses the 90/14 needles from this package, each needle is coded to tell you what they are used for but YES I am using the blue coded 90/14 in my Singer Embroidery machine, I suggest you look up your machine needle codes before ordering

It does a chain stitch. This stitch is sewn with a single needle and forms a chain of looper thread on the wrong side of the fabric. This is a durable and flexible stitch used for seaming knit fabrics, attaching elastics, attaching biase tapes, etc. (Copied from the user manual)

You can find a advert on all brands.com that would be the most reliable answer. It had everything that took advantage of all the stitches.

Yes and yes. This link will take you to the instruction book. See page 24 for the stitches you can do . http://content.janome.com/userfiles/file/Inst%20book%202206(En_Sp_Fr).pdf

The count means 18 threads to the inch, 14 threads to the inch, 28 threads to the inch, etc. the more threads to the inch, the smaller the picture will be, the sewing will be tighter. 14 is the most popular one for most cross stitching.

The middle button us the stitch length. Nit starts at 0, which U.S. for the buttonholes. Then goes from 1 to 4, it will do a very small stitch to a large basting or gathering stitch. This machine us also the same as a regular Janome model...it's just the hello kitty decoration

It tells you which foot to use when you select a stitch. I believe it's also in a chart on the manual, but I'm not at home right now so I can't double check.

I cannot remember....I am sure you can go online with Singer and see...or YouTube. I bought the more expensive model because it did have, I think, more stitch designs, it also cuts thread and I felt for a little extra money, I would go with the best, as it might be my last machine. I test drove the Bernina, Viking, Baby Lock.....I hate my Janome, which is why I was trying to find a better machine overall....I felt the Bernina is a rip-off...women ooh and ah over it to beat the band, but honestly....for the thousands of dollars and the fact that feet are $50.00 each and more...it is an advertising schmooze. Getting women to believe the Bernina is the best is just that...a schmooze! Viking and Singer are now made at the same manufacturing plant....Brother and Baby Lock are made by the same company, also. I have a stand alone embroidery machine by Janome...and I have a Babylock Serger (it's awesome)....and of all the machines I own..,.if I have a project....I go immediately to my Singer Quantum Stylist....it has the strength and the power and all the stitch designs I will ever need...it is much easier to program than the Brother...easier to thread than the Brother...is quieter than the Brother and when it cuts the thread it is MUCH quieter than the Brother and I cannot imagine a project other than sewing awning canvas that it can't do. If you are going to sew awning canvas, then get a mechanical machine...don't be fooled by the word COMMERCIAL....get a TRUE hardcore mechanical machine that doesn't do anything but sew straight stitches

I don't do machine embroidery so I can't help with that. I can only say I have been very impressed with the quality of the Brother machines. I now have three - serger, the pc400prw and the pq1500s. Great machines

The machine should be able to change the size of the letters after you put the design in. This only makes a design larger but does not add more stitches so if you enlarge a lot fabric may show thru your design.

I got this answer through google. Maybe it will work for you: Best Answer - Chosen by Voters Unthread the machine, top and bottom. Place a sheet of paper under the presser foot, lower the foot, and "sew". Does the needle move? If not, check that the bobbin winder is off. Does the paper move? If not, check the stitch length is set to something reasonable (like 3 mm instead of 0 or 0.5mm), and that the feed dogs are raised (check the manual for the section on raising or lowering the feed dogs or free motion embroidery or free motion quilting) Still no luck? Pull the needleplate and do a good cleaning (vacuum and brush only, please -- compressed air just forces the lint in further) especially around the feed dogs and in the bobbin case area. Lubricate if the manual directs. Works on paper, doesn't work when you thread up? Are you starting the seam correctly, and making sure you hang on to the thread ends for the first couple of stitches? Here are some stitching issues caused by not threading correctly and/or not starting the seam correctly: http://www.picturetrail.com/sfx/album/vi... Notice that the last pair of photos illustrates a jam that was so bad it brought my machine to a halt -- caused by incorrect seam starting and poor threading. (pictures are in pairs... blue thread on top, red thread in the bobbin.) If you still can't get it to work, it's probably repair shop time... it's probably going to need parts or more adjustment than you can do, or you've missed a spot in extracting jammed thread bits. Over the years I've seen two machines that were really unable to transport fabrics... one had a broken linkage to the feed dogs, and the other had fractured a feed dog (and I'm still not sure how that happened!)
