There isn't any trick, you just need to follow the manual instructions and have patience.

I researched each foot online and then labeled them in the organizer. You can Google sewing machine feet and identify them by picture. I was able to find a chart.

I am not sure but it goes on in a pretty typical way, so if your machine has a pretty typical needle "set up" I think it will be fine. It interchanges easily on my machine (not an embroidery machine).

If you look on the left side of the presser foot bar, near the bottom, there is a screw - you remove it, take off any existing feet or snap-on shank, and then put this one on in its place. In the picture, there is a rectangular opening in the middle - that is where it slides onto the presser foot bar, and there is an opening on the left side for the screw.

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!

Winbeckler has a tutorial and others will come up if you enter fondant or gumpaste shoe-good luck its fun!One thing to know however is this particular kit is difficult-patterns don't fit and it is too large-gave up on it-look at ebay for alternative kit-much easier and better to use-its the one that comes with a styrofoam ramp

To do embroidery using the SINGER 160 Anniversary sewing machine, it will be necessary to first purchase a Darning/Embroidery Foot. After placing this foot on the machine, disengage the machine's feed dogs. Embroidery is then done with the free-motion sewing technique. You can use a SINGER Style 2000 chromium needle to do the free-motion embroidery technique.

I purchased the Sewing Machine Accessory Bible by Wendy Gardiner & Lorna Knight. On the Amazon website I was able to look inside the book and see the table of contents. They have many of the same specialty feet that I have and there are several pictures as well as instructions and tips. I also take advantage of the many youtube videos that actually show people using the different feet. The major sewing companies have a lot of instructions and videos online too.

It works on both of my Brother machines that use a low shank foot. I have the Quattro2 and the LBW EMBROIDERY machines.

Sorry, I didn't mean to offend anyone but putting this together is as simple as lacing your shoes. Why don't you contact the manufacturer if its causing you such a headache. Maybe their support team will walk you through the setup,

I would recommend checking out the Project Library at www.emblibrary.com to learn how to machine embroider on these type towels. It can be done and mine have turned out fine. As someone below mentioned, I wouldn't recommend light stitches (open hand or machine embroidery) on these as the threads will get lost in the pile. A design with a higher stitch count will work perfectly. Enjoy!

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!

Not for hand embroidery. Machine embroidery may be okay for small jobs, not enough thread for larger jobs.

I created this page to specifically help with sewing machine feet. I will (when I get my light tent set up again) update this page in the future to include some more feet (I've already covered the more common uncommon presser feet, but I have recently obtained some antique feet to my collection. http://pointysticks.net/sewing-machine-feet/

I have purchased 2 sets of these threads from Kolors. I especially like the variety of colors. I use a Brother PE- 770. I hope you have as much fun as I have had doing embroidery. In case you haven't been told, you should clean your machine atleast once a week in the bobbin area, that way any thread you use won't get tangled and you won't get as frustrated.
