Would you recommend this set, the 40 color set with the larger thread locking spools or the 22 color starter set (all the same brands)? I am just getting started and trying to gather my supplies. I have a Brother SE400.

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.

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

It looks like it will work for your machine. I went on Brother.com, put CS600 in the search box at the top, and was taken to a page about your machine. I clicked on Accessories, then Feet, and got a list of feet for your machine. SA188 was on the list. I'm not 100% sure because there were 2 choices for CS600 - CS600i and CS6000. I clicked on the first one but you might want to see for yourself. I loved when I found this page for my machine because it describes all the different feet I could get for my machine.

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

Try going to the Brother website. You should be able to find those items there, if they are sold separately.

I'm sorry I can't give you a d you to know approximately how much thread you get so I used one spool of black which I really don't need,and I put it on about 5 bobbins,a little l I figured its about 5 bobbins full,a little less. worth,for the price,I think its good.

Good question! I bought this and overall I enjoy it. The thread is not great quality. It does tend to snag on some fabrics. I am not sure the makeup of the thread, but for the price - you would not expect top quality cotton. It is a fine started pack and once you are done with those spools, you can replace with cotton of your choice. It is a handy storage system.

I cannot tell you for sure whether these are 90wt or not. What I can tell you, is my machine is a very finicky Brother that would only allow me to use 90wt thread. I decided to order these just to see if my machine would accept prewounds. To my surprise, I have had no problems with these bobbins. I hope I have been somewhat helpful.

Using a Taylor 210, with the recommended 13's. I went back and forth with the 80/20s and Phosphor Bronze. I prefer the 80/20s Bronze. I think they are just a little clearer. The Phosphor Bronze sounds balanced and real good, but a little deeper. But it all boils down to what suits you.

I contacted the company after I received the spools and asked for a color list. They provided one in Excel format which I then printed for my daily use. When I embroidery I often have to choose a spool that's closest to the color requested in the pattern.

Actually I bought these by accident. If you are interested, I will sell them to you for $20 plus shipping. I don' have a Brother, I have a happy commercial machine. The thread size notations are very confusing because there are a number of different systems for describing thread sizes and I am not sure what is in the Brother manual. This having been said, the bobbin thread used for embroider is usually lighter than the top thread. If you are doing basic embroidery with the threads that are advertised as machine embroidery threads, these bobbins will work just fine for you. ferrar@roadrunner.com

I have the brother se400 and the brother pe770. It would work with both but I returned it to Amazon. You can only merge one design and you can't change the size of it. It totally didn't do what I needed it/or as my understanding of what it was suppose to do. If you want a program to see your design patterns than this is what you want. If you want a program to use your designs to create (size)new designs and add lettering, you will want something else.

I have both the 1034D and the Designio. The machines are mechanically identical. The only differences are cosmetic. They thread exactly the same way, and the user manuals are identical. I most often use thread made for sergers, but you can use any thread you like on a serger. I have used embroidery thread, for example. A very thick thread might not work as well, but it depends on what you want. Always test on a scrap of the fabric you plan to use, because you sometimes need to make a few adjustments to tension, stitch length, etc. for different fabrics to get a neat result.

23 ga pins are more common, come in more sizes, and are more discreet. 21 is better for production. Whatever you do, DONT BUY A Grex. Look at fasco, senco and porter cable

I have a Brother SE400 short shank and it fits just fine, have no problems, as long as your machine is "short" shank should be good to go.

Going from a Baby Lock to a Brother will be a little bit of a shock. The Baby Lock is certainly smoother than the 1034D will ever be and more than likely you had more options on your 8 thread Babylock. With that being said, I really like my Brother 1034 D and have not had any of the issues that have been discussed in the neg reviews. I have also used a Singer Serger and must say that my machine threads amazingly in comparison to the Singer! I also have not had nearly as many broken threads as I have on the Singer. I am glad I bought this product and have been using it for 18 months now.

Personally 45 is too many colors for me. I paint as a hobby too and don't even use all the colors here. Although I wish I could pick the 12 I get! You might go for the 24 color Cotman travel pallet and split the difference. This one is hard to use unless you are doing something really small because the mixing area is so very very small. I would actually recommend the Koi 24 color watercolor box. It is really good and has plenty of mixing space. I went through a phase of wanting to try different brands and small palettes and have gone back to the Koi for small projects like my journal.
