what thread I have to use with this machine for sewing swimwear and sport clothing
762728
I use a combination of maxi lock and stretch maxi lock, 3-2 or 2-1 depending on the stitch you are using. You can get them for a good price at WAWAK.com

When you manually thread, there are two ways, be sure to thread the needle from the side facing away from you. or take the needle and thread properly and then install in your machine

On ThreadArt's website: Polyester Sewing Thread 600 meter / 660 yard spools 50 weight/3 ply Sealed in clear shrink wrap Spun polyester is the ideal multipurpose thread Outstanding durability, colorfastness, and low lint http://www.threadart.com/c-64-polyester-sewing-thread.aspx

You need to purchase a machine embroidery needle. The size you purchase depends on the thickness/heaviness of the cloth you are embroidering. An 80/12 should work for fabric that is similar to quilting cotton. A 90/14 would be good for a heavier fabric like denim. You don't need to purchase a specific brand - just make sure it says embroidery somewhere on the package.

This machine is only set up for thread. Yarn would get bogged down in the bobbin case. You should look at commercial sewing machines to use with yarn. :)

These are excellent thread and will fit most modern machines. They are cotton so there is an increase of lint and "fuzz" in your bobbin case so you will need to keep the bobbin case wiped out depending on the amount of sewing you do. I would recommend at lease very project or so. along with the bobbin case, you machine will need to be cleaned out professionally every year because of the lint.

You need two different types of stabilizer. Under you need a heavier one, (cut-away is best) and on the top you need water soluble type (Solvy is one of them). Knits need this type of stabilizer pair to keep the material from moving around. Thread, depends on the thickness of the knit. But there are two types of threads, Poly and Rayon. Always use either Madeira, Robison-Anton or Sulky. They aren't cheap, but are the best. I would avoid the ones sold on Amazon, unless they are either of the brands I mentioned. Most important is to use embroidery bobbin thread. The one that came with your machine is the best for the Brother machines. Hope this helped.

Your machine should be adjusting tension automatically....I would check your needle versus type of fabric you're sewing/embroidering, check to see if you have a piece of thread broken apart in the head of the machine that could be catching on your sewing thread. You can manually adjust tension by running the thread back and forth at the top rear...then, Thread the machine. check your manual or on-line for the description. If you are embroidering, be sure you are using quality thread. I've used less "expensive" & paid for it in breakage in the middle of the piece. Try slowing down the stitching speed & make sure you are using the proper backing for your fabric. You could still have thread caught in the bobbin case which could be exerting too much pressure on the top thread. I would try a thorough cleaning, vacuum.....your machine out....never blow it like a computer. The sewing machine has oiled, moving parts & blowing the dirty, dust, lint pushes it into the machine and eventually causes a sludge..... Check to make sure you haven't knocked the timing out.....if the machine increases in frequency of breakage, look at your bobbin case...make sure the needle isn't hitting the plastic instead of the hole ...sliding off into the bobbin. Goodness, I hope this helpS!!! All else fails, call Singer support...they are easy to work with...I've called them in e past. THey will walk you through maintenance to get you up and running. I love my 400!!! Use it all the time....one of three sewing machines.....I have a 43 year old brother I can't part with as well.. Good luck MMh

The Brother PE770 embroidery only machine requires a needle with a flat back. I would use Schmetz embroidery needles 130x705H-E in the correct size for your thread and fabric (size 11 or 14). If using polyester embroidery thread, 11's are the best size to use. Happy Embroidering!

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.

Izzy, if you can thread a sewing machine, you can thread this machine. I carefully followed the directions in the booklet and to my surprise I got it on the first try. I also took the beginning serger class on Craftsy.com which helped. The difficulty with threading the machine is tight space. But with the tweezers its manageable. I would do it when you have an hour of uninterrupted time to concentrate on it the task at hand. Then go step by step. I never used a serger before. I was very leery when I started, but it was easier than I thought. I think this is a good basic machine for beginning to use a serger. I made a simple knit skirt using the serger. It was fast and I got a good result. I really recommend the Craftsy class which I watched prior to using my machine. Hope this helps.

I would suggest that you check with you local pool supply store. I expect that the threads would be standard for the Hayward and Pentair.

It is a thinner thread making you embroidery a less dense. If you are working on clothing I would you this thread.
