This is really beautiful. I am including your photo here. You touched on several important points - Make sure you know how many stitches you are putting into a given area. Adjusting the stabilizer to accommodate those stitches is such a good idea. Puckering is avoided and that is a common problem. This...

I can really sympathize with you! I had a PE700 at one time and it was not quiet at all. You have a few issues here. Let's address the easy one, the alignment issue.

Your manual for your machine, assuming that you have one, is for the machine and not for embroidery. My first three...

There is much to learn grasshopper newbie - welcome to the wonderful world of machine embroidery! Keep in mind that the computer on your embroidery machine is not a computer in the same sense of your PC. The computer on the machine is just to tell the machine how to embroider and a few things, like resizing...

You are so welcome. That is what is great about AnnTheGran, people want to help! I wanted to add one more (among the many) thing. I live in southern California. The humidity here is usually in the 20% range, but today, it is raining, therefore, it is over 30%. While that may not seem like much, water...
