Can someone help me?
I have a question. First I had a Brother
Disney 180D machine and now I have a
Brother Galaxi 3000 which is a great step
forwards with the first machine. I have
only one problerm with this machine that
asks for a solution and I asked the shop
where I bought the machine many times
without result.
The machine I bought second hand because a
new one was very expensive for me but is in
perfect condition an I can do big
emberoideries now and I'm glad with
this.
The problem I have is: when I use sticky
stabelizer or glue spray everytime my
thread breaks and the fact is that the
needle gets sticky.
I cannot work without the sticky stabelizer
and now I use siliconespray to grease my
needle and that works most of the time as
long as my needle is greasy. Does anyone
recognize this problem and what is the
solution for this problem? Does any one
have ideas how to avoid this problem???
Thanks to iris2006 for the translation.
37464 hoi 10tje, heb je 505 al gevonden? Ik weet in ieder geval dat De Gast in Almere heeft. groetjes, Martha

Ik weet uiteraard niet waar je woont, maar een bezoekje aan De Gast is de moeite waard. Ik heb daar al mijn verstevigers vandaan, en 505 en ook de reinigings spuitbus. Ze zeggen dat babydoekjes overigens ook goed werken om je ringen weer schoon te maken. De Gast heeft Marathon polyester garen tegen een heel leuke prijs en ze zijn erg vriendelijk. Ik ben er vrijdag nog even geweest - maar ja, mijn zoon woont in Almere en ik combineer het dus. Overigens krijg je ben hen vaak kortingsbonnen voor de diverse beurzen waarop ze staan. Ik heb de Melco EP4 van ze, een vier-naalds borduurmachine en krijg daarom nogeens 10% korting op alles wat ik koop.

Bedankt, maar ik woon echt niet in de
buurt, dus zal ik op het internet gaan
bestellen.
Ik spaar even wat dingen op voor ik ga
bestellen.
wel bedankt voor de tip.
679 I don't have an answer because I don't like the sticky back stuff. But I did want to thank you for all of the fun faces you put up on designs by cute. I am going to use them in a project for my grandchildren. It is a large felt pumpkin and they will be able to change out the faces with your cute faces. Can't wait till fall so i can put it out. Thanks i really like your designs and I love to try and read your dutch messages because my family heritage is dutch.
6932 hoi 10tje, ik zag net dat De Gast op de handwerkbeurs in Rotterdam staat op 16,17 en 18 oktober. groetjes, Martha
679 Make sure your thread is coming off the spool in the correct direction. I use sticky and sprays and don't seem to encounter any problems.. I keep a bottle of 91 percent alcohol on my sewing table and use this to clean up any over sprays and to wipe off the needle if need be..The alcohol has superior drying/vaporazation qualities so it won't hurt the machine. Inferior quality products also could be a culprit..Hope you find a solution and if you do please post...
7825 Hi just seen that you asked your question quite a while ago. I too have a Galazie 3000 and I bought some sticky stabiliser. It made a great deal of mess and for the short time I used the stuff just kept one frame for its use. The frame is still suffering but I gave up using the sticky stabliser and use other alternatives. My friend also with the same machine has problems with thread and needles, she reduces the speed of the machine and uses a larger needle and alters the tension. I have come to the conclusion all machines are different but all respond to tender loving care. A last comment I found the sticky stabiliser expensive. Happy sewing

But it seems, however, that the 3000
Galaxie problems with that stuff.
the speed is with me no solution.
I've tried everything.
you and your girlfriend have those
problems.
I hope I find a solution.
Thank you for your comment
11415 10tie I never use the sticky stuff. I found out early on that I was going to have problems. I simply baste around the inside of the hoop after positioning my fabric with pins. Meg digitized some basting stitches for us I believe but I already had some programmed in some of my soft ware. this has always worked well for me, especially on real thick heavy fabric like towels. When I was using the sticky I kept WD40 near & was constantly cleaning my needle during the embroidery process to prevent the sticky needle syndrome. Hope some of the other cuties can help u with your dilemna. *
63111 I just saw this and realized one idea was left out. Every since I discovered the Titanium needle, I don't use anything else. Organ is the brand name and I use the large eye needle, It is wonderful with metallic thread. Wonder if the titanium finish could possible help with the sticky needle problem. Don't know if they are available in Europe. I buy mine at www.allstitch.net I buy the 100/box size and it comes out to 58 cents a needle.

Unfortunately I have also tried and this
does not work.
I have my problem still can not remedy.
The only thing so far is helping silicone
spray on my needle.
what I regret is that I have never had this
problem with my old machine.
Thanks for your comment
26436 10tie, I have used a spray called Supreme,and 505, I do not have a problem with my needle getting sticky. I would suggest that you try the 505, it says on the can no glue build-up on the needle. I have a Babylock machine, it and your Brother are very similar. My machine is very picky about what thread it likes. What brand of thread are you trying to use?? What needles are you using?? H&*.
by 10tje 14 Jul 2009
I use Madeira thread and Schmets
needles.
I do not know if I can 505 glue spray in
holland, but I find this species.
Thank you for your comment *4U

10tie, At times I forget we have friends all over the world, maybe you could order on line. I just looked on the can that I have. It says it is make in U.K., E-mail for them: "order505@aol.com" I now use mostly Robinson-Anton rayon thread, and I love the Schmets embroidery needles. I have had lots of problem with Madeira thread shreading and braking in the past. H&*.
by dlmds 14 Jul 2009
I hope it works well for you, do not over spray. I would try a different kind of thread, even if you buy just one spool. H&*

22759 I doubt it's your machine or your needle causing the problem. Try a different brand of sticky stabelizer. I use Floriani and haven't had any problems.
5588 i never use a spray but the tear away sticky stabilizer. i give you a privat message in dutch to tell you which one i use and where you can buy it in the netherlands, i have brother disney too.
81080 Could you use Basting stitches around the
inside of your hoop instead?
I nearly always baste my fabric to attach
it to the stabiliser as I find it easier
than trying to hoop both stabiliser and
fabric.
If you write to my email address:
melide_menschen@yahoo.com.au
Let me know the MAXIMUM size of the stitch
field of your hoops, I will create basting
stitches for you, you just load them into
your machine and stitche them before you
load your design.
hugs n roses, Meganne
59149 I tried the spray sticky stuff and I don't like it at al...gums up everything...If I embroider applique, I just use my hands and hold down...the material stays for me, but I slowed my machine down..(mostly because I sew when my hubby is asleep and I have to be a little quiet.....deanna
16984 I have heard that running wax paper over the needle may work.
by embroiderynikki 14 Jul 2009
It is used in the kitchen. We use it for lining cookie sheets so that the food does not stick to the pan. It comes in a roll like plastic wrap or aluminim foil does. It is also used in crafts for iron-ons and kids crafts.
by 10tje 14 Jul 2009
Ohhh Oke we call that "bak paper"
in holland.
In english baking paper.
Thanks I will try *4U
719 Thanks for all comments and suggestions I will try everything. flowers for all ******************************************* *****
37464 10tje, I never use that sticky stabilizer - my machine hates it. So I can't help. Here is a flower for you. *4U
by 10tje 14 Jul 2009
Thanks Shirlene, we use in holland also
sticky stabelizer, do you have that in the
US?
But nothing helps for my new machine. ****
111231 I also have a Brother Disney machine, I love it, but I agree the spray adhesive does not do well, I have changed to the iron on type of stabilizer and it seems to eliminate the problem. As far as the thread breaking I find changing the needle helps (although sometimes it is just the thread you are using) because there can be damage to the needle that you can not see with the naked eye. Hope this helps.
1951 The spray that jrob suggested works very well. I have a Brother too and some sticky stabilizers are just too sticky so if you are set on sticky try changing brands. If I've already started something and I have that problem then I occasionally clean the needle off with GooGone. The thread might be a problem too. I use Sulky.
by 10tje 14 Jul 2009
With my other machine and the same glue spray everything went just fine, I don't understand, this problem I only with my new machine. Thanks for your comment en *4U
56143 Alcohol swabs clean the needles well...also
I'd try a different thread. Have you
tried using Gunold's filmoplast?
It's a light weight peel and stick
backing?
good luck
315 I use ONLY Sulky KK2000 Temporary Spray Adhesive, it is safe for you, the environment and I never have problems with build up on my needle. Your thread breaking problem sounds like it could possibly be a problem with the kind of thread you use. Try sewing out a different brand and see if that makes a difference. I still like the Sulky KK2200. I hope this helps you solve your problem. I have found some machines do not like certain types of thread. Mine LOVES Sulky and will barely tolerate Metro, so you have to experiment with that, too.
by 10tje 14 Jul 2009
Thanks, I have tried different types of
thread, but it is really the glue.
Thanks for your response. * 4U

44640 1. Je zou kunnen proberen de spray alleen te gebruiken op die plaatsen waar je niet borduurt, de randen bijvoorbeeld en het zo zuinig mogelijk doen. Ik gebruik 505 spray - die haal ik bij De Gast in Almere, heeft ook een website www.degast.com - dat geeft veel minder kleverigheid dan andere merken.<br />2. Kun je niet rijgen? Mijn husqvarna rijgt indien gewild automatisch voor het borduren een rechthoek rond het borduurgebied. Als dat op jouw machine niet kan, dan kun je voor elk borduurraam dat je hebt een buitenlijn met lange steek digitaliseren, waarmee je je materiaal op stik-en-trek kunt vastzetten voor je aan het eigenlijke borduren begint.
by 10tje 14 Jul 2009
Dat laatste is een goed idee mops, Ik zal eens kijken of mijn machine die mogelijkheid heeft en anders maak ik hem zelf,daar was ik nog niet opgekomen, wel heb ik geprobeerd alleen de randen in te spuiten, maar wist niet hoe ik uit kwam met mijn borduur werk. Bedankt alvast als ik het heb geprobeert laat ik het je weten!!*
