    Hi Gary, thx so much for this - such a clear and comprehensive video. I understand that the M370 only has a 10 x 10cm hoop…. Can I buy bigger hoops and fit them on to do bigger embroidery (eg embroidering names onto Xmas stockings - the font will need to be much larger)? If not, do I have to buy a different machine, or buy software to add to it? And can you do small letters too, as in not all capitals? Thanks a million, Nicky

    @nickynonque5482 The embroidery field on this machine is 100mm x 100mm - It is not capable of doing any bigger unless it is a multipositional hoop - it is available to use with split designs created in software. The machine does 3 different initial Font sizes - Large, Medium, Small. If you are doing items with large font and lots of lettering, we would recommend to purchase a machine with a larger embroidery field size.

    Hi Gary, thx for your video. I appriciate it much. I stand shortly to buy my first sewing maschine. From the A16 to the A150 I have decided to look at the F420, because there you can adjust the pressure of the feet. I think the base of the 380D is the A Serie?! Have you experience with sewing light material? And when, how you think is the Performance and the quality of the sewline. Thx for your help. After looking I think i will buy the 380D.

    Hi, can you please tell me with the Artspira app, can you import logos, that are in JPG or PNG format? If so, does the Artspira app convert it automatically when it is sent to the machine? I am really interested in the customisation feature of this machine and want to know if it will be able to use all my artwork created on my ipad, if it's as simple as uploading them on the Artspira app. Thank you.

    Hi @treacherousmedia8046 - You are able to import a design in the background and trace the design but you are not able to convert a photo to an embroidery. It would be be better to purchase embroidery digitizing software to convert your designs such as Embrilliance Stitch Artist or Hatch Full version.

Am very computer and phone app savvy, so that doesn’t worry me, I’m just wondering if because they both have USB, is the wifi option really really good? Thanks again, and sorry to bug you 🙏🤗😊

    @thembelamhlongo6886 The maximum embroidery field size on this machine is 100mm x 100mm (approx 4" x 4"). You can use a multipositional hoop and use split or two designs but again it will only embroider the 100mm x 100mm field size one at a time by moving the hoop, as the name suggests.

    My wife has a pretty old model BM2600 sewing machine and I am thinking of getting her this for her birthday. She does lot of sewing and not embroidery (though I think it’s a feature she might like). I’m just curious to know on a sewing front whether this is a good upgrade, or is it just the same thing. Or do you think if she mainly does sewing for the same price she can get a much better sewing machine? Thanks!

    Thanks so much for the quick reply! Just to double check, so even without considering the embroidery aspect of the machine, this is still an upgrade in terms of sewing features over her current machine? Just conscious if she doesn’t use the embroidery then at least the sewing function will still be nicer than her current one.

    @iluvindia01 Your machine has a limited embroidery field size so you may need to adjust your font size to fit what you need into the hoop. It does not have the ability to do multiple lines - it can only do one line at a time. Do one line, then select ADD and then you will be able to add another line of text. You will then put it in the pocket/memory to save.

  • @EchidnaClub

    @EchidnaClub

    Ай бұрын

    @TheAashiaana It has a small throat of about 6 inches, you would struggle with the size of a large quilt but it is still possible. The throat area would be taken up largely by the bulk of the quilt and you would need to allow for that. You can do quilt as you go quilts as a more manageable size. It is about how you approach your FMQ and what designs you are doing.
