Can I use it for machine embroidery projects?

This maching has only minimal programmed functions, so only basic pattern work can be accomplished. This machine would not serve well as embroidery project machine.

I've used my Brother PE500 for applique and loved the results! Many machine embroidery designs are made to include applique. Just about any design can be appliqued to a background using a shaped frame design from those pre-installed in the PE500. Design websites have excellent tutorials to guide you.

Hello, I have used the thread on my Vicking. These are NOT high quality. Some of the colors break easy or split while embroidering. Not all of them, but enough to be annoying. To use I have to set the speed of the machine to the lowest speed and keep a close eye on it.

I would agree with VS, be cautious when working with embroidered fabric, otherwise I think you'll be happy to use it on many garments. Larry

I think so. The bobbins fit my Brother machine. Do be aware of the diameter of the bobbin thread. It can be an issue for an embroidery machine. Check your user's manual before you order. I am using up some of the bobbin thread for chore sewing, like zig-zag on edges. You can put a bobbin on the top spindle, too. Then you have a bobbin that fits your machine, to use for different colors when sewing. Brother bobbins are expensive, and you don't want to skimp on a bobbin and compromise your final product.

I don't honestly know the answer to this question. I use mine to connect my Happy (commercial) embroidery machine to my computer and it works great!

No, the image may only be resized. To edit designs you would need embroidery software .

I don't know much about machine quilting as I use a 1950's Singer featherweight machine for piecing and then do all quilting by hand. I suppose if you can use a hoop type frame that this would be similar. I use this frame for quilting and other hand needlework.

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

I have a single needle machine and it does not work. There is not enough room for the hoop to move freely for it to embroider patterns.

Not a stupid question at all. However, while this is a nice package of embroidery floss, my one complaint is it tangles fairly easily. It is not as smooth as some other flosses I have used in the past, so I wouldn't recommend machine embroidery with this particular brand. Although if you take care, it's a great, beautifully colored floss for hand embroidery.

That's exactly what I used it for. No sewing machines here... Just needed good thread for mending little hem tears, etc.

If your machine works the PES digitizing code yes Otherwie if your machine uses another system You would have to find out what system it is. (look in the instruction mannual.) If its a different , you need an embroidery software that can convert from the system to the embroidery card uses to yours

I don't know, maybe you could contact the manufacturer. I use mine for craft projects.

I don't think so because it would need the embroidery card slot on the side of the machine. The pe500 was made for your computer compatible software cable with website designs you can go to websites like annthegran and download designs. If you want embroidery card designs look into the more expensive machines made by brother & babylock. I looked at the pe500 just to make sure it doesn't say anything about embroidery card use only refers to computer cable for designs.

It was recommended to me for use in my embroidery machine. It is hooped by itself and is water soluable. I use it to make free standing lace. I've never tried to draw on it.
