I love your tutorial 😊 Thank you very much for this wonderful and entertaining introduction. ❤🤗

[@EchidnaClub]

Hi there, thank you for your lovely feedback. We're glad you found this video useful.

[@marywilson6760]

I love the look of this machine. The Easter Embroidery has stitched out perfectly. Sadly I can only daydream of owning this machine. Thank you for excellent demonstration. you explained it clearly.

[@EchidnaClub]

Thank you Mary, we are always happy to have a chat to you about your options. It is a lovely machine :)

[@samanthamoffat2885]

Just bought my F440E loved watching Video lots of extra tips in there can't wait to get going 👍

[@EchidnaClub]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@mariemiller518]

I've had my f440e for several months now, I'm a complete beginner at embroidery, I loved your explanation for getting started, I wish I had found something like this when I first got my machine. It sat in the box for several weeks before I dare do anything on it. My supplier is excellent but with lockdown etc I'm not Able to book classes to help me, but she's really helpful and I can even ring the shop and she'll advise me if I need to pick her brains about anything. On the whole I love the machine, I just need to understand it a bit better e.g stabilizer, needles sizes and thread . But I have had some great results once I crack it ! Lol

[@EchidnaClub]

Hi Marie - stay tuned! We have new Virtual Beginners Embroidery classes beginning in February. These are designed to teach you about stabilizers and the principles of embroidery.

[@maysahazife1534]

Thank you so much. Your customer service is always amazing. Love this video! Especially for amateurs like me 😄

Our pleasure!

[@AdamLopez]

hello. I have this machine but I'd like to skip forward or backwards. does it have this functionality? if not, how to we petition for a software update to enable this?

[@EchidnaClub]

Yes it does, go to the embroidery screen and there is a symbol that looks like a needle with a plus and minus symbol. Select this and you will be able to go forward and backward.

[@ifyume9821]

Woo! That helped alot! Ur explanation has made me change my mind to buy that even though I said I am not going to buy it before. Thanks so much

[@EchidnaClub]

That is awesome! Hope you enjoy your sewing with the new machine! :)

[@virginal-zeebaree2434]

With the usb, are you able to create your own (simple) designs with some kind of program and then use the usb to transfer to machine? Or is there specific designs that you can download from their website and that’s it?

[@EchidnaClub]

Hello, yes you are able to digitize designs and save them onto a USB, take to the machine and stitch them out. You do need digitizing software to undertake this. Here are a couple of options we have for digitizing:-www.echidnasewing.com.au/stitchartist-level-1-digitizing-software www.echidnasewing.com.au/hatch-embroidery-digitizer-version-2-by-wilcom

[@derekfegen2472]

Great video and channel thankyou

[@goodkarma5000]

This is probably the best videos I've seen on this topic. Saves me time, resources and the agony I would have gone through lol. But just a quick question though, could you explain to me in simple terms the reason for the two different threads (the small white one inserted inside the small compartment and the bigger one at the top of the machine with a blue cover)? It's obvious the bigger thread is changed as the job proceeds, then what happens to that smaller white thread? Was it changed at any stage or it remained that like? Apologies it's a noob here. Thanks once again for this wonderful tutorial.

[@EchidnaClub]

@goodkarma5000 The small white thread is the bobbin and the larger thread is the top embroidery thread. One catches the other in the mechanism to form a stitch. Both have to be refilled or changed if they run out.

[@Nachi_offical]

Very helpful

[@EchidnaClub]

@Nachi_official That it great to hear! Thank you for your feedback!

[@afmedwards]

Great overview thank you

[@EchidnaClub]

Thanks for watching!

[@mariapereira9607]

Pl let me know whether usb comes with the machine. Awaiting yr reply at the earliest before I buy this machine. What are the benefits and disadvantages.pl reply.

[@EchidnaClub]

Hi Maria, no a USB is purchased seperately for this machine. If you are interested in buying, it is best to give us a call on 1800 000 360 if you are in Australia.

[@rootdown]

Can you make logos on cap / hats with this , machine?

[@EchidnaClub]

@rootdown You can do it as a badge and then stitch it onto the cap/hat. There is a cap atttchment available but the cap has to be a flat one, no shape.

[@franshooi2587]

Amazing video! I am a beginner, and going to own a nv180 very soon, I like all your videos about the sewing and embroidery machines, very clear and helpful. I like your threads that comes with the cap. May I know what brand is the thread set? 500m?thanks.

[@EchidnaClub]

Is it the 5000m set you are inquiring about? Here is the link to the 5000m thread set: www.echidnasewing.com.au/5000m-hemingworth-61-thread-set

[@franshooi2587]

Tq Gary. I just had a look at the website, do you have 32 spool set? Does Hemingworth have sewing threads? If no, which brand do you recommend for sewing and seaming threads which I don't want to use embroidery threads coz they stand out a lot. Thanks a lot.

[@franshooi2587]

I meant 1000m for 32 spool set for embroidery threads

[@EchidnaClub]

We have the 300 thread set of 1000m spools of embroidery threads by Hemingworth: www.echidnasewing.com.au/hemingworth-thread-full-set-of-300-colours We also stock these individually or as a thread set of 15 popular colours: www.echidnasewing.com.au/hemingworth-pre-packed-15-thread-bonus-set or a thread set of 64 (closest match to brother thread colours): www.echidnasewing.com.au/hemingworth-brother-range-closest-match-64-colours We do stock a box of Soflight sewing thread: www.echidnasewing.com.au/softlight-corespun-sewing-thread-box-set-set-of-10

[@thread-rowembroidery1445]

Hi, what exactly is the automatic thread cutter functionality, does this avoid jump stitches or does it have another function?

[@EchidnaClub]

Hello - Automatic thread cutting means it will complete timming, this model doesn't have jump stitch trim.

[@jessedixon26]

With this machine will I be able to do jumpers hoodies and tee shirts?

[@EchidnaClub]

Hi Jesse, yes you can with the proper stabilisers for your projects :) Great idea to add your own touch to clothes!

[@aayushpoddar5662]

Does this have a function for auto Jump Stich Trimming?

I tried this, but did not help. I am not able to use it , can you please guide what can be done,to get is started. Thanks

[@mariamtabakhmelashvili9341]

Excuse me, could you tell me approx what is the total thread usage per cm?

[@EchidnaClub]

Hi Mariam, The thread usage depends entirely on the type of design being stitched - a satin stitch is more dense than a redwork for example.

[@mariamtabakhmelashvili9341]

@@EchidnaClub I am writing a financial model for grant to buy this machine and it is necessary to know the exact usage of thread per cm. I am going to use a velvet stitch for example and if you could tell me any kind of measuring of thread🙏

[@EchidnaClub]

I am sorry Mariam, we are only able to give you a price on how much thread is per centimetre (ie. at $6.95 for a 1000m spool = $0.0000695 per cm). You can not predict the amount of thread you are going to use as this depends on the design you are stitching out.

[@mariamtabakhmelashvili9341]

@@EchidnaClub thank you very much for your response, once again please if you tell me how much thread is needed to recover 1 cm2 (1 square centimeter) full scale🙏🙏

[@EchidnaClub]

You would have to unpick the stitching to know how much thread you are going to use.

[@geetamanasa1239]

Hi sir. What is the difference between brother innov-is F440e and brother pe800??

[@EchidnaClub]

Hi Geeta - the main differences between these models is hoop size - 800E is larger has a slide on hoop as opposed to a clip on hoop (more modern), auto foot up and down so you can control the presser foot height - very important for machine embroidery. Feel free to call us if you would like to discuss further 1800 000 360

[@garywalker5394]

@@EchidnaClub Hi Geeta, just a correction on the last reply. One of my team confused your inquiry with a similar model number here in Australia the NV800E. However The PE800 is almost the same as an F440E . We apologize for any confusion. Cheers Gary

Can I stitch photographs

[@EchidnaClub]

Hi Colin, yes you can but you would need to digitize the photo first to convert it to an embroidery file. This requires software.

[@milicnts2386]

can I create my own knitting designs and then load them into the machine ?

[@EchidnaClub]

Hi Milic Nts, you cannot create knitting designs and load them into the machine. If you are interested in learning to digitize you can create your own individual designs from artwork and turn them into stitches - then stitch them out on the embroidery machine.

[@kaltrinalota6238]

@@EchidnaClub how can I turn them into Stiches ?

[@sarahrunciman3299]

Great video! Do you need to adjust the tension or is it automatic? I’m thinking about swapping my Singer to this one since it’s so difficult to adjust the tension on my Singer. Thank you!

[@EchidnaClub]

Hi Sarah, the F440E is a great machine for embroidery. It doesn't have automatic tension as such, the tension is set to a particular setting and generally as a rule, you do not have to adjust the tension. Of course, it is a sewing/embroidery machine and can behave differently with different threads or fabric. It is easy to work it out and our staff are on hand for any problems or questions :)

[@gaming4K]

I would have loved to see what you do when you have to change colour. I guess the machine just stops and waiting for you to change? 😅

[@EchidnaClub]

Yes that is correct. The machine stops at every thread colour change, you would restart the machine once you have rethreaded it.
