MachineEmbroideryHQ is an independent guide site for home machine embroidery: the software (Embrilliance, Hatch, Ink/Stitch), the supplies (stabilizer, thread, needles) and the problems that stop a design halfway through.

How the guides are written. Every guide is built from the software makers’ own documentation, the machine manufacturers’ manuals and long-running community knowledge, then written up step by step in plain English. Where a setting or menu differs between versions, the guide says which version it describes. We do not claim to have tested products we have not used.

Not affiliated. We are not sponsored by, or affiliated with, any machine, software or thread brand. Product names belong to their owners.

Affiliate disclosure. Some links go to Amazon. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases, at no extra cost to you. That never changes what a guide recommends.
