21 June 2013

A short while ago Dennis999 asked if anyone had the same problem as he did with the Brother multi needle machines which was not sewing in the order that he expected. Finally due to a problem with my Galaxie 3000 I phoned my dealer and asked the question that dennis999 had asked here as its a problem I have too with my PR650. The reply was that the machine reads the design that has been uploaded and even if the digitiser has put the colours in a sewing order the machine will decide for itself that there is often a quicker way of sewing out so it changes the order of sewing. So if you have a PR machine from Brother who ever is operating it needs to check the sewing order out and make sure that the correct threads are in place or you can end up with some very interesting sew outs. It is easy to alter the order of colours and order of sewing. So thanks Dennis for asking the question.

A big 'Thank You' to Asterixsew for her determination in getting to the bottom of this. Clearly, her dealer has more knowledge of these machines than my own supplier! I hate getting old and not being able to understand, let alone keep up with, all this new technology. I mean to say, what planet am I on when a lump of plastic, steel and electronic wizardry decides that it will do things its way after some poor human soul has spent hours digitizing a design to his or her specification! That said, I do love my lump of plastic, steel and electronic wizardry. Right, I'm putting my soap box away for now.

Thank you again Asterixsew and indeed all the other Cuties who gave their advice in my original post.

Dennis I have also sent you a email with the information. My dealer is brilliant and I would recommend him to anyone in the UK. He has one customer in a small island off Brazil and communications and repairs are carried out by photos and emails. Its just too far and costly to being the machine back. He also services many of the educational establishments sewing and embroidery machines over a huge area. When I have time when next near them I am going in for a play on the machine you have. I also think if you look at the picture I put up earlier this week there is not such a huge age gap between us. I just know that when I first clapped eyes on a embroidery machine about 14 years ago I WANTED ONE and eventually thanks to a super friend who bought it for me, I got one. Stay on your soapbox please. And are you listening to the cricket from Cardiff?

Hi Caroline. Yes, thank you for the email which I have replied to. I have been watching the cricket in between dashing into the man cave to check that the machine was running okay. I'm currently making 24 double-sided pennants for a motorcycle group that I am involved with, to be followed by 24 baseball caps to be embroidered. I will not get much done over the weekend, what with the first of the British Lions test matches on Saturday and then the cricket final on Sunday.

I did not see the original question until now. My 4-needle mchine has an option to allocate needles to set colours, e.g. White to needle 1 and black to needle 2 and I know the Brother 650 has that same capability. Having done that the machine will always stitch white with needle 1 even if is number 6 in the sew out order.
Can it be you have allocated colours to a number of needles? In that case put your colours in sequence from the first "free" needle, skipping the set colours. .

Hi Martine. I was told that whatever the digitiser has put for the order of sewing for a design that if the machine can read shortcuts but by the end of the stitchout all the colours will sew. It is just a case of carefully checking the order the machine is going to sew and make sure the threads fit that OR alter the machine to sew as the operator wants it to sew. Sadly I don't use my machine enough to have fully understood it. One day I will have more time but just when I don't know
