I wanted to order the metallic thread, but didn't know how to locate the site. It would be WONDERFUL to use metallics that don't snarl, twist, or break. People...
I have not yet tried to make these patches because I wondered what type of stitch forms the border. Is that a separate machine from the regular embroidery...
Oh no surprise, that baby blanket I did caused all sorts of hub-bub. I have 75/11 organ needles in every location and it runs through them like the R/A or...
There are places that sell patch blanks with different base colors and either same or contrasting edge colors. I have heard of people who sew onto heavy felt...
Felt seems like a great idea. All those little frizzies are what make me try to cut too close. I have seen chenille patches stitched onto felt, and there was...
I am using the USB cable. I have no problems in Machine Remote Mode. It communicates with the machine with no problems. I have no problems with an opened...
I've yet to figure mine out as well. between the constant false thread breaks and the manual that seems anti-English, I gave up and now have a $9000 dust...
Hi all, I purchased a Happy Voyager in October, and while I am not an expert, I have done a lot of work on this machine. I have found that if you turn the...
Hi Dee, I remember feeling exactly as you described when I purchased my happy. It is intimidating, but you will be able to run the machine. You have to...
Cindy, Don't give up on your machine, as I was just told that Happy is recalling the older machines. Mine is #143 and is in the recall group. Check your...
I can't speak for the Voyager and the USB issues being discussed here as I have a 1501. But I do want to say the smartest thing I did was budget some time to ...
I agree completely! The set up and that brief time would have been the difference between a profit making machine and a dust collector for me I'm sure of it....
Well, part of my problems are solved. I am writing this so that others who have difficulties can at least check this out. My laptop has OS Windows XP...
I just tried again to call happy corporate. I never can get a person when I call there. it's always voice mails, and I get so tired of hearing that they can't...
It was interesting that you commented on borders not lining up on a stock design. I have had mega problems with this on my home machine, and have figured out...
Hi Cindy, I don't know if this will help, but the tech told me to dial ext 533 for Elizabeth, and she would give me the details of the recall. Sandy in...
Cindy, I called corporate yesterday, and left a message stating my problem and that leaving a message was an exercise in futility Within a half hour Jim...
I know what you mean, at first, I had called the corporate number when the machine arrived for help figuring things out since I couldn't reach the sales guy. I...
Cindy, I would email the company this letter you wrote, and tell them you are on the embroidery business list. Let them know that the number one question...
Yayyyy! We've actually stitched out several designs today, and they look terrific. But here are some user questions. If I place a dot for the origin on my...
My sales guy was just awesome till I paid for the machine. Then he became suddenly very very busy. I made it very clear to him this past week that I was...
Cindy, Sorry to hear of the problems you're encountering with your machine. I joined this group to glean whatever information I could regarding the new Happy...
Hey doug, It's great to see you on another board. = ) I did get a call today from Jim at happy and my machine IS in the recall group. I think they told me that...
Hi Cindy, That is great news! Did he say anything about when the letters would be out? I bought my machine set up, so I don't have any of the original...
That would definitely be the better thing for our businesses there's no doubt about that. When I got the first machine (saved the box, so I'm ok on that part....
Glen, EMB is 100% correct. You should be using ball points for most of your embroidery. A ball point goes between the woven or knit threads instead of cutting...
Hey Cindy, That's great news. I'm sure happy to see you getting a break. Seems you been getting some Hard Knocks lately as I've been reading on the other...
Thanks Doug, I've been getting EMB now for a few months. I like it. It seems like there's something in it that's timely each issue. But back to needles, I've...
Glen, If you look very closely at them under magnification the ballpoint is rounded for about the last 1-2 thousanths of a ninch while the the sharps come to a...
