Machine Embroidery and Applique Helpful Resources

Are you new to machine embroidery and applique? Do you feel like you have more questions than answers?

• "How do I use my embroidery machine?"

• "How do I get the designs to my machine?"

• "Will your designs work on my machine?"

• "What embroidery format does my machine use?"

• "What hoop sizes can I use?"

We all love learning new skills and hobbies, but sometimes we're left with more questions than answers!

Simple Google searches can provide you with tons of useful ideas and tips (maybe that's where you found us!), but sometimes we need a little more one on one help for specifics. If you purchased your machine from a dealer don't hesitate to ask for help! They are more than qualified to help get your started in the right direction and may include lessons in your purchase price.

The great world of social media is also a fantastic place to get specific questions answered by users and experts in the field.

Below we have provided you with several links and resources to hopefully get you going in the right direction.

YAHOO GROUPS

Most machines have a dedicated Yahoo Group where owners of a specific machine can discuss issues related to it. https://groups.yahoo.com

• Search for your machine or machine brand in the search box and you'll likely find an active group that you can join, where you can meet other embroiderers who have and use your machine. This is a great way to ask and answer questions specific to your machine!
