Projective family of hypersurfaces on curve admits some embedding?
$begingroup$
Let $f:Xto B$ be a projective family of hypersurface of type $(d,n)$ in on some curve $B$, i.e., $Xsubset Btimes mathbb P^N$ is closed subscheme, and $f:Xto B$ is flat, with every fiber isomorphic to $n$-dimensional hypersurface of degree $d$. I want to know the following:
Is it true that every fiber of $f$ admit an embedding to $mathbb P^{n+1}$? i.e. there exists some other flat family $f':X'to B$ with $X'subset Btimes mathbb P^{n+1}$ a divisor, such that the two family $f$ and $f'$ are isomorphic?
I tend to believe this is not true, but I want to know a counter-example. Any comments would be helpful.

Clearly, this is true locally on $B$, that is there is an open cover of $B$ such that on each of these you have such an embedding. It is also true that you can assume $Xsubset Btimesmathbb{P}^{n+2}$. I do not know whether we can replace this with $n+1$.

No, this is not possible. For example, let $f colon X to B$ be a nontrivial etale double cover. Every fiber is a union of two points, so it can be embedded into $mathbb{P}^1$ as a hypersurface. But there is no embedding $X subset B times mathbb{P}^1$.
Indeed, assume $X subset B times mathbb{P}^1$. Then $X$ is a divisor of relative degree 2 over $B$. Since $Pic(B times mathbb{P}^1) cong Pic(B) oplus Pic(mathbb{P}^1)$, the corresponding line bundle can be written as $L boxtimes O(2)$ for some $L in Pic(B)$, so that $X$ defines a nonzero element in
$$
H^0(B times mathbb{P}^1, L boxtimes O(2)) = H^0(B,L) otimes H^0(mathbb{P}^1,O(2)).
$$
In particular, $H^0(B,L) ne 0$.
On the other hand, we have a resolution
$$
0 to L^{-1} boxtimes O(-2) to O_{B times mathbb{P}^1} to O_X to 0,
$$
which implies that
$$
f_*O_X cong O_B oplus L^{-1}.
$$
Since $f$ is etale and nontrivial, the line bundle $L^{-1}$ on $B$ is a nontrivial element of order 2 in $Pic(B)$.
In particular, $L cong L^{-1}$ has no global sections.

Sorry I cannot follow your last line: why $Lcong L^{-1}$?

Clearly, this is true locally on $B$, that is there is an open cover of $B$ such that on each of these you have such an embedding. It is also true that you can assume $Xsubset Btimesmathbb{P}^{n+2}$. I do not know whether we can replace this with $n+1$.

On the other hand, $X$ can be embedded into a nontrivial $mathbb{P}^{n+1}$-bundle.
