Hi - I am not sure which country you are in - but you would need to search for it online on your country. If you are in the USA here is a link where it is $149.95 allstitch.com/products/durkee-cap-frame-insert-for-brother-sa444baby-lock-ef84-hoops I think possibly you looked on my website in South Africa where it is priced at R1795.00 (ZAR currency - which translates to roughly about $100) I hope this is helpful. Kind Regards, Sherine Haines

I am so happy to hear that it was helpful!

Thanks for the feedback - I am so happy to hear it was helpful!

You are so welcome! I am happy to hear that the video was helpful - and that your machine is working perfectly again.🥰

Hi Lynda - good to hear! When you purchase the Upgrade kit - there should be a CD inside the kit. All of the extra designs are on there, so you will need to copy them onto a USB stick to use on your machine. If you need the designs - please pop me a mail at info@sewandcraftstepbystep.com and I can arrange it for you. I hope this is helpful. Kind Regards, Sherine Haines

@@SewandCraftStep-by-Step Sherine, thankyou so much. I have the cd but don't have a player anymore. If you could send me the files that would be wonderful.

@@lyndahugill3284 Hi Lynda, please send me a mail info@sewandcraftstepbystep.com and I will send them to you.🥰

Hi, Thanks for the great question. If you take a look at the colour sequence of the pattern on the embroidery screen - you will see a min column that tells you how long each individual colour will take to stitch. As each colour finishes embroidering the machine will take that amount of time off of the total embroidery time, and update. So, it will only update the total time as a colour is completed - and not while the colour is busy embroidering. I hope this is helpful.😀 If you would like access to more hints, tips and projects, please feel free to click on this completely safe and secure link: link.tekmatix.com/widget/form/Qv9AkKsvZbkzjxHkVuBv Kind Regards Sherine Haines

Hi, I am not familiar with the Babylock machine, but - if your bobbin case looks like the one I show in the video - then it should.😀

Good morning, Thanks for the excellent question. The bobbin case that has the green screw is known as the standard bobbin case. This means that the tension screw has been pre-set at the factory for 60 weight thread - which is the Brother bobbin fill thread that is included in the box when you get the machine. (The paint is only there for identification purposes - so you know that it is set for 60 weight thread.) So this is why, when you use other thread that is of a different brand and weight - then you will experience tension problems, and the screw will need to be adjusted. There are 2 solutions for this: 1. Buy another bobbin case, without the green marking, and use that as your "adjustable" bobbin case for different types and weights of thread. Then you can adjust it as you need to. ( this means you can keep the one with the green paint exclusively for the 60 weight bobbinfill thread) 2. OR, you can simply adjust the screw on the bobbin case with the green paint. However, if you choose to do this, I would suggest taking a photograph of the screw position before you adjust it, so that when you want to use the bobbinfill again, you can set it back to where it was. After taking the photograph, you can adjust it for the sewing thread that you plan to use. Generally the thread for sewing would be thicker - so you would adjust the screw in an anti-clockwise direction. (Loosen it) Only adjust by 1/4 of a turn at a time until it is right. I hope this is helpful.

Hi Joann, If the needle is hitting the plate - then please check that the needle is the correct size for the fabric you are working on - because if it s the wrong needle or the needle is too small - the needle will flex and will touch the plate. Here is a link to my free sewing machine needles e-book. guides.sewandcraft-courses.com/sewing-machine-needles-free-e-book-9007 If you do have the correct size and type of needle in the machine - and it is still hitting the plate - please take it to your nearest technician - because it might be that a needle broke or bent and it has shifted the needle bar off centre. Only a technician can repair that. I hope this is helpful. Kind Regards, Sherine Haines

Hi, Depending on your phone you will need an adapter to fit it. Most of the new phones use a type C adapter - but take your phone to a computer store and ask for a MALE to USB FEMALE adapter for it. (If your charger is a C-type - then you will need a type C MALE to USB FEMALE adapter) I hope this is helpful. Kind Regards, Sherine Haines Sew and Craft

Hi, Thanks for your good question. Yes it does have adjustable speed. The machine is set to the default speed of maximum (650 stitches per minute) for embroidery with regular embroidery thread. However, if you want to work with speciality threads, like wool embroidery thread or metallic thread, then it is advisable to set the speed to a lower setting - and this can be done on the F540E😀 It can be adjusted from 650 all the way down to 350 stitches per minute - with other settings in between too. I hope this is helpful. Please feel free to join me at Sew and Craft for more hints, tips and projects.

Hi, Thank you for the comment. I agree wholeheartedly with you that you can apply layers of plain vinyl on top of one another, but not on top of foils and glitter. (Although you can layer those on top of plain vinyl) If the project that you are creating can handle layers on top of one another, then it is absolutely fine to do it like that. However, the reason that I made this particular video, is that I had many requests about how to create designs that were not thick and bulky on softer garments, and also on items that need to have a softer drape like flags - and that looked more like a smooth printed image rather than a stiff applied one. So, for those who prefer less bulky designs, the techniques I show in this video is an option. But, for stiff items where it does not affect the flow or drape, layering vinyl one on top of the other would be totally fine.😊

Hi Julie, Yes it will work with all vinyl.😄 Thanks for the compliment - appreciated. If you would like access to more hints, tips and projects, please feel free to click on this completely safe and secure link: link.tekmatix.com/widget/form/3VvdeU7ciLFRvwn4kPnz Kind Regards, Sherine Haines

Hi, Yes you can - I always keep a spare one on my accessory box - they are really inexpensive and are so important for guiding your bobbin thread correctly. You will get them from a Brother dealer. Which country are you in? If you are in South Africa, I can help. Kind Regards, Sherine Haines

@@SewandCraftStep-by-Step no the US. What is it called?

@@valeriehofmann2615 Hi, It called a "pile" The code for it here is YWXC3137000. - Check with your dealer if it is the same where you are? They are self - adhesive strips. Just check on your bobbin case if it has 1 or 2 piles. On some models there is just one - on other models there are 2 stuck side by side with their short sides matching, to create a longer pile.

Good morning, If there is a squeak coming from the embroidery arm, it will be the safest to take it to a qualified technician who can open the embroidery unit and lubricate it. I hope this is helpful.😀 Kind Regards, Sherine.

Yes, there is a function ; before starting to embroider, press the button with 3 spools in the embroidery setting screen to rearrange the embroidery order and sort it by thread color. It is page 46 of the manual.

Good morning, Thanks for the comment. Because I own an Android phone, I made the video on that. I unfortunately did not have personal access to an iPhone, however I asked a friend who has one to try the process - and they said it worked perfectly, but that the process was slightly different. I hope you managed to get it right. If not, perhaps go into a computer store, and see if they can assist? Have a great day. Kind Regards, Sherine

​@@SewandCraftStep-by-Step thank you. I do live in South Africa. At the moment i still use my moms Elna Supermatic... bought in 1974. It really is an old faithful..that works perfectly .. I have to make my mind up whether i want a new machine or do i need a new machine. But thank you for your help.

@@pamclarke6785 Hi Pam, I completely understand. I owned the same machine as you currently have many years ago.😀 They work perfectly if you are working on woven fabric - especially natural woven fabric, like calico, denim, cotton linen etc. So, if that is what you work on mostly, then it is perfect for you. However, if you want to work on the latest stretch and even synthetic blends of fabric, then the more modern machines handle those better. To explain why - the older generation machines had 2 points on their feed teeth. Now 2 points are perfect for natural woven fabrics. However when it comes to the more modern fabric (synthetic and stretch) the 2 points "latch" onto the fabric and then it does not feed through as evenly or smoothly. It almost feels as if the fabric is being held back in a sense. They also do not have auto tension - so tensions must be adjusted to suit individual fabric. With the new generation Brother machine it has 7 points on it's feed teeth - so the finest sheerest and even stretchiest fabric is fed through easily - as is denim and upholstery fabric. It also has auto-tension, so it will adjust tension to suit the fabric - you don't have to do that. Then there is the automatic needle threader, built in automatic cutter, lovely bright LED light (no more globes that blow), one step perfect buttonhole and just so much more. (Too much to mention here - so I have mentioned all of the super important features) I know that some of this might be intimidating - so I supply my Step-by-Step video lessons that are arranged in a logical sequence, so that customers get all of the information to start using their machines with confidence and not by trial and error. I also show all of the features of the machine - so that all features can be used, to make sewing so much more enjoyable! I hope this is helpful. Should you have any questions please feel free to contact me at info@sewandcrafstepbystep.com. Have a great day! Kind Regards, Sherine

Hi, Thanks for the message. The thread cutter sensor is only available on the Brother Embroidery machines, and because your model is a sewing machine only, it won't have the sensor to warn you when the bobbin is almost empty. I hope this is helpful. Kind Regards, Sherine Haines

Hi, Thanks for the reply...yes it is tempting to take it off, and for the machines with no sensors it is not really an issue. However, for machines with sensors, it can be tricky to put it back if you are not careful. I have had many a customer have a problem afterwards, resulting in a trip to the technician to put it back properly.😅 This is why I advise to leave it alone.😊 Kind Regards, Sherine

Hi, I just use my Brother desktop printer - and it is amazing and easy.😊

The only print scan and cut machines start at like $6,000.00. I just don’t understand why it’s so complicated! It’s ok. Just driving myself crazy! I’ll have to get a printer for now.
