More from this brandAll Brother embroidery machinesOverview
The Brother Inno-vis NQ1700E is an embroidery machine sold with BES Blue digitizing and editing software, combining the stitching hardware with computer based tools for resizing, editing and combining designs before they are sent to the machine.
The software bundle is the real story on this listing: BES Blue lets a user adjust designs on a computer rather than working only with whatever is preloaded on the machine's screen. That is a bigger draw for someone already comfortable editing embroidery files than for a first time buyer who just wants to load a hoop and press start.
- Brother Inno-vis NQ1700E
- Bundled BES Blue software
- Embroidery-focused machine
- Computer-based design editing
Who it's for
Crafters or small scale sellers who want software level control over designs, editing size, placement and combining multiple designs before stitching. Less suited to someone who wants the simplest possible setup with no software to learn.
Pros and cons
- Bundled with BES Blue design editing software
- Allows resizing and combining designs before stitching
- Requires learning separate software for full value
- Embroidery only, no sewing function
Performance notes
Because BES Blue runs on a separate computer, design edits happen off the machine and are then transferred over, so getting full value depends on comfort with the software workflow rather than the machine's on board controls alone.

Frequently asked questions
What does BES Blue software add to the NQ1700E?
It lets you edit, resize and combine embroidery designs on a computer before sending them to the machine, rather than working only with what is loaded on the screen.
Does the Inno-vis NQ1700E also sew?
No, it is an embroidery machine; sewing is not part of this model.
Do I need the software to use the machine at all?
The machine can stitch designs on its own, but BES Blue is what unlocks editing and combining designs before stitching.
