More from this brandAll Brother embroidery machinesOverview
A home embroidery machine with 138 built-in designs, an embroidery-only 5x7 inch hoop area, a 3.2 inch touchscreen, and a USB port for importing designs.
Several point to fixes not spotlighted in the manual, like adding a felt pad behind the thread spindle to stop the spool from spinning faster than the machine stitches. That's the kind of detail worth knowing before the first project rather than after a returned order.
- 138 built-in embroidery designs
- 5in x 7in embroidery-only hoop
- 3.2in LCD touchscreen
- USB port for imported designs, 11 font styles
Who it's for
Hobby embroiderers starting out or upgrading from a smaller hoop, who are willing to spend the first few projects learning the threading and hooping process. Less suited to someone who wants to embroider straight out of the box with zero setup friction, since more than one reviewer needed a few days or projects before it clicked.
Pros and cons
- 5x7 hoop handles larger designs than smaller entry machines
- Touchscreen previews designs before stitching
- USB port imports designs beyond the built-in 138
- Remembers stitch position if power is interrupted, per a reviewer
- Thread tension and breakage reported until the spindle is modified with a felt pad
- Bobbin low-thread sensor described as unreliable by a reviewer
- Needle threader and hooping process called fussy and slow to learn
Performance notes
The 3.2 inch touchscreen lets you preview a design before stitching, and the 5x7 hoop area is large enough for bigger single-pass designs than a smaller entry machine allows. One recurring reviewer fix is adding a felt pad behind the thread spindle, since the spool can spin faster than the machine stitches and tangle around the spindle, throwing off tension and breaking thread. The machine also remembers stitch position if power cuts out mid-design, according to a reviewer who upgraded from the PE770.
