SOURCE: Brother 2001 sewing and embroidery machine.

The fact that your machine is turning hard says you still have some thread inside the machine that is binding up and activating the safety device. It must turn easily before it will work properly again.
Sometimes the machine must be disassembled to remove these threads.

Look for a mechanical switch that engages the lower drive mechanism.

Testimonial: "That was the trick. I knew it had to be something simple but I couldn't figure it out."

SOURCE: I have a Brother PC-8200 embroidery sewing

That's a tough call, parts can be pretty high to fix a machine. Have looked around to price out a new embroidery machine, Janome makes some very nice one in that price range. I'd try ebay there is one which is missing the foot control and hoops for $250.00 just search Brother Pacesetter PC-8200 this may be the ticket you already have the foot control and hoops.

Best of luck

I have the se 625 embroidery does it take a file from a different embroidery

Do you mean the Brother SE625 embroidery machine? If so, you can import .PES embroidery files using a USB flash drive. See the specifications here: https://www.brother-usa.com/products/se625 . If you have an embroidery design in a different format, you will need to use software to convert the file to the PES format. (This
can include third-party embroidery software, Embird. Since the SE625 doesn't communicate directly with a computer, it did not come with any software. Thus you'll need to purchase the embroidery software separately.)

Note: not all USB drives will work with the SE625. You need a 32GB drive or smaller. See https://download.brother.com/welcome/doch101019/usbmedia_888m00_m02_m03_m04_m20_m30_m31_m36_m37_en_r19-05.pdf for known compatible USB drives.

I hope this helps.

How do I get pes files open8 using windows 8

In order to 'see' the .pes files you have to have some software to read it like embird or embrillance. Embird is $164 but has some neat features such as being able to change colors and convert from one type embroidery files to another. You can just transfer them to the USB drive by: Plug in your drive, copying them, eject the usb drive, and then plug it into the machine. The machine will read it without you having a program that can read machine formats.

Embroidery unit on Brother pc8500d will not work

Hi Sharon,

That was my first "Convertible machine" I had the Baby Lock version. Exactly the same in every way, except for the name badge.

Make sure you have the "data door" open (revealed after the tool tray free arm section is removed.) and the "Feed Dog" Switch is "down for embroidery". If any of the connection tabs/pins on the "embroidery attachment" are missing or bent/broken off. the embroidery arm will not work properly.

With this old of a machine, look on EBay for external parts and things you need instead of seeking repair. Timing adjustments, and other machine maintenance can be done by most repair shops with a technician that repairs convertible embroidery/sew machines.

Put your machine name and model number in a search on youtube.com you will find a wealth of information there for your machine.

Cheers,

Replace floppy drive with USB on a Designer 1

Check with a Viking dealer whether Viking offers a conversion kit. My guess is that rather than offer such a kit, Viking would rather sell replacement floppy drives or a newer model of machine.
