Enjoy you rediscovery of your machine Maggie. Thanks for watching and happy stitching.

Oh brilliant, congratulations you wont regret your purchase. Enjoy your new machine. Happy stitching.

Take it step by step be familiar with threading, learn how to skip back and forth threough colours and stitches, this will come in handy if you get a thread break because you will. Know that all embroidery mavchines are possessed and if you turn you back on them even for a second you can guarantee that they will misbehave and break a thread or needle or play up. They know when you are not paying attention so always watch it stitching dont walk off and leave it. If you need any help just ask. It is a steep learning curve and you will make mistakes, it is part of the learning process but teh key isnt making them but how you get around it so that nobody would ever know. Never be in a hurry to unhoop your work when things go wrong as it is alway easier to fix it if you havent unhooped it. Have fun and enjoy your machine.

Hi Ossie Bear thanks for your feedback and thank you for watching, so pleased it has helped you. Happy stitching!

Glad it helped. Enjoy your machine it is a fabulous choice you will not be disappointed.

Thank you, you're welcome, pleased you found it useful. Happy stitching.

Thanks Sue pleased you enjoy them and find them helpful. Thanks for watching

Thank you Mary and you're welcome. Interestingly I often wonder which machine my viewers have, the Destiny 2 is a nice machine.

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching. Yes machine embroidery is a steep learning curve with many variables but enjoy the ride and practice practice practice is the key to making friends with your machine. Brother are the best in my opinion I am sure you will have hours of fun with it. Happy stitching.

Julie It is one of the best embroidery machines you can have in my opinion I love mine. In the first year I had it I did over 40,000,000 stitches with it and it still stitches as good as the first day. I would advice having it serviced yearly though to keep it in tip top condition. I do advise reading the user manual that came with your machine and keep it to hand until you get used to all it's functions. Did you know that you can pay for an upgrade and it then unlocks the arm so that you can use an 8x2 hoop? The 8x12 hoop comes with the upgrade package? That allows you to make untold things with it. If you need help just ask if I can help I will.Happy stitching

Thanks Julie. I thought that might be the case across the bigger Brother machines.

Hi Julie. I want to buy a v7. How do you find using it.

You are very welcome.

Congratulations on your new machine I bet you are really pleased with it aren't you? Have fun with it, stay safe and happy stitching.

You're very welcome.

You are welcome! Thanks for watching.

Good advice Mary. Thanks and thanks for watching.

Thank you Janette.

You're welcome thanks for watching. Happy stitching.

Hi Debbie no I havent my machine is a V3 so embroidery only and I don't do free motion embroidery. I do know that for FME you have to be able drop the feed dogs so that you can move the hoop freely and I would allso assume that you need a special foot maybe. I would suggest contacting Brother to see if they can offer you any advice, they would certainly be able to tell you if it is possible on your machine. If you machine is suitable, then I would suggest that you find some free motion embroidery videos on You Tube I would think that once you have set your machine up in a suitable fashion then it would be the same no matter what brand of machine someone had. I hope you find what you need to get going. Sorry I cant be of more help.

Hi Debbie did you drop your feed dogs?

Hi Khimothy, you should be able to set a colour pallet in your machine settings.

Hi Caroline, Congratulations you have bought a fabulous machine. Sorry no I dont have any more videos on the V3 as such as I covered pretty much everything you need to get going with it. I made this video to allow you to get stitching as quickly as possible by showing you the settings you are most likely going to useMy channel is dedicated to showing how to make things on your machine no matter what brand you are using. Many of the designs are freebies and they are all from Kreative Kiwi Embroidery. They also have a fabulous Facebook group dedicated to their own designs and to helping newcomers to machine embroidery. I have posted the link below. Join the group (anser the 4 joining questions or your application will be rejected) and you will get lots of ideas I do have a video that shows you how to use your V3's built in fonts for personalising your projects.I show how to access and set up within the settings but that's about it I will put a link in below to a few of them for you. I strongly suggest reading the user manual that came with it before you do anything as it will give you lots of information and keep it close to your machine so that you can refer to it when you need to. I am not sure what else you need to know about the V3 but if you tell me I will see if I can incorporate it into a future video for you. Here is a link on using build in fonts on your machine. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f6eGl6aSnc2bkqc.html Here is a link on how to hoop your stabilizer correctly kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nJqiodBe1byaZYk.html Kreative Kiwi's Facebook group facebook.com/groups/kreativekiwi If you need anything else let me know. Happy stitching.

Hi Jade I can't I am afraid that is something you need to adjust and work out, all fabrics are different and it might not be the tension. Skipping stitches can be caused by a few different things: Upper tension is too tight.- Adjust the upper tension of the thread. The upper thread is threaded incorrectly. - Check to be sure you are using the correct combination of fabric, thread, and needle. The needle is bent or blunt.- Replace the needle. Start by checking that the machine is threaded properly and that there is isn't any thread caught in the tension disks by running thin fishing line or non coated dental floss through to clear any clogs as it prevents the thread from sitting in the tensioner disks properly and this can stop it from stitching properly. Then try changing the needle. Then try changing the top thread tension bit by bit. If the bobbin thread is showing on top, that means the top thread is pulling more so you need to loosen it as there is too much tension. I hope you get it sorted

Hi Virginia, thank you. You open the file on your machine from the USB key and when you push the button that says embroidery that puts it into the machines memory ready to stitch, then when finished you close it and it will delete the design from the memory ready for the next one that you load in. You save designs on your computer or external drive or cloud, not on your embroidery machine.

Hi Sally your machine uses PES format. I am not planning on doing another V3 video as I covered most things in this one. My videos are aimed at a wide audience to show everyone with an embroiery machine how to make certain designs, no matter which machine they have got rather than brand specific. In this video I showed how to combine two files: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d6qVd91mtdzRl6c.html I'm not sure what you mean by altering a design. But I do urge caution when opening embroidery files in any embroidery software, as it can change them without you noticing and cause unexpected stitch outs in that the machine might not stop where it is supposed to or you might get stitches jumping around where they shouldnt or it might change the size and it will no longer fit in your hoop. You need a good knowledge of how your software works, I cant show how to change things across all different software brands. You also need good knowledge of how the design you want to alter works and goes together so that you can check that the software hasnt changed anything it shouldnt. If you mean how to add text in software then I have a video showing how to go about it. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/icuClK2Y27W8j6c.html In this video I show how to add text using your embroidery maches built in fonts. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/idJ3mLx4s7Slg4U.html I hope this helps. Happy stitching.

Run with the speed that you feel comfortable with as there isn't an optimal speed per se. Embroidery isnt a race and I know we like to get things finished quickly but for qualities sake somethings you cannot hurry. Certain threads such as metallics need to stitch at the slowest 350 spm or they will shread. Anything that is thick such as a couple of layers of vinyl again slow is best. Listen to your machine as it stitches and it will tell you if it is happy or not. If it is banging or making more noise than normal then slow it down. If you thread keeps breaking or you are getting skips stitches again slow it down. A lot depends on your machine and two machines can have different preferences even for the same threads or fabrics. I hope this helps you.

@@KaysCutz Thank you so much Kay. Your answer males a lot of sense. I'll just just have to learn to control my blood pressure when it's going hell for leather! x

You use a bobbin of couse the same as you would in a sewing machine, if you are making something that has an embroidered edge and it is reversible design then you wind a matching bobbin from your corresponding top thread too.

Sure you can, I show how in this video. Happy stitching. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f6eGl6aSnc2bkqc.htmlsi=AoNs-POmpZZl4lLa

@@KaysCutz perfect, thank you :-)

Hi Irene, no you just right click on the zip file and chose unzip, then choose the file(s) you want to stitch out, all the files are all ready so all you need to do to drop them onto a USB key and put then in your machine to stitch out. I hope this helps you.

@@KaysCutz Thanks so much Kay, will give it a go.

What's the price 🤔?

You can get one here this is where I bought mine. You would have to click on the link for price, it looks like they have them on special price right now. www.sewingmachines.co.uk/innov-is-v3-3879/

Hi Julie I am working on a video now on how to add text to things although it wont be on a t-shirt this time round.

@@KaysCutz hi kay can you let me know when I can see it plz

@@juliemeredith4324 I cannot give you a date right now as I am still working on it at the moment but If you are subscribed to my channel you will be notified as soon as it is published.

Hi Julie well you are in luck as my machine is a Brother V3 too. I made this video a while ago so might help you get started. Let me know how you get on with it kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mcx_ZM91tJeoo6s.html 90% of my stitch along videos are with this machine. So if you subscribe to my channel and click the bell icon you will get notifications of any new stitch along videos that I release. Happy stitching.

Hi Julie, most importantly if you are completely new to machine embroidery I suggest that you contact your dealer and ask them for a few lessons on to learn how to operate it. You need to know the basics such as how to load a file, thread it, load a bobbin, how to change the settings such as speed foot height tension, how to skip backward and forwards through stitches and colours, the very basics. I can show you how to make things with it with my stitch along video but you need to set your machine up ready to stitch. So that would be the first and most important step. I suggest that if you can set your machine up you practice what I have show you in this video. After that if you look through my video channel I have done many videos with free Kreative Kiwi designs so why not pick one that can be made in a single hooping to start with and stitch along with the video, links to the designs are given in the video description along with any other important information. Kreative Kiwi also run a wonderful free one on one mentoring service where you are paired up with someone in your time zone who can help you to work through a designs step by step at your own pace in real time. Here is a link to all my videos. The link to Kreative Kiwi's mentorship program is also given in the video description too. kzfaq.info/love/HCH5Qw3RGTsC3ikUrIjtkQvideos

Thank you so much for your help I loved the tutorial hope for many more

Sorry sent to soon any help you can give me I would b so grateful thank you

You're welcome anytime.

Hi Hameeda what do you mean by show how to change these colours? Do you mean how to change threads?

@@KaysCutz Yes I meant thread change Thank you

@@hameedadean7624 do you know how to thread your machine?

I show how to thread your machine at timestamp 10:46 in this video so to change a thread colour you do the same as I show in this video. You remove the spool and thread a new colour. You can use any thread colour you like as your machine only senses a thread present and not a the colour. I hope this helps you.

The best way to learn is to get stuck in. Pick one of my stitch along videos for a freebie, the design links are in the video description and have a go. Dont be intimidated by your machine.

I would contact Brother if I were you, they will be able to help and advise you. They are very helpful.

@@KaysCutz ok thank you, I will call them tomorrow 😊

@@tarnyacollier2465 let us know how you get on 🙂

@@KaysCutz I will thank you.

Hi Filo, if you mean can you scan your artwork and save it to a format a machine can recognize, no this isn't possible. All designs have to be digitized and created so that they stitch out in the correct way, in the correct order, with the correct stitches as well as being in a format that the machine can read. Of course you can learn to digitize so that you can create designs that an embroidery machine can understand and stitch but it isn't a 5 minute learning curve, it takes a lot of time, money and practice. You need special software in which to create your design which doesn't come cheap then you have to learn how to use it and again it isn't a 5 minute play about in it and you can create a stitch prefect design. It takes time practice and patience, an understanding of how to use an embroidery machine, an understanding of how designs are created so that they stitch out correctly, in the correct order and at the correct size with being too dense, without having too many jumps and trims and an understanding of how different types of fabric behave when stitched so that you can digitize to allow for those differences among other things. You do need a machine to test out any design you digitize too. I would suggest getting a reconditioned embroidery machine from a reputable dealer and learning how to use it first and how different types of designs are stitched such as applique, free standing lace etc. then think about whether you want to go to the additional expense of software and learning or whether you would prefer to pay someone to digitize your artwork for you. Machine embroidery is not a cheap hobby whichever direction you go in but it is good fun and an enjoyable pastime once you make friends with your machine and learn it's capabilities and how and what you can make with it. I hope this helps you.

You would have to find a dealer/supplier near you for prices I am afraid. I am not selling this machine only showing people that have bought one or thinking of buying one how to find their way around the functions and how to use it.

It isn't a sew machine it is an embroidery machine. I am not in India and sorry I don't understand what you are asking. If you are looking for a machine like this you need to contact a dealer in your country.

@@KaysCutz OK mem thanks

So sorry that you feel this way Janet. This video was made for a lady who couldn't get going and completely new to her V3. I guess I cant please everyone. What do you suggest to improve this video? Bearing in mind it is aimed at people who may have never used an embroidery machine before and or who might not be tech savvy either. I don't always know the user level of my viewers.

how rude....

Janet Kealy how rude of you not everyone is IT savvy , you may not need this help unlike myself and others , and besides if you aren’t interested why not jog on 😡

It probably seems that way if you know what you’re doing, but it is really helpful if you are brand new to embroidery. I really like it. Thanks Kay.

Certainly not long winded! Perfect coverage on getting started on this wonderful machine, nice and steady and covered such a lot.
