Overview
The Brother PE545 is a dedicated embroidery machine, not a combination sewing machine, built around a 4 by 4 inch hoop and wireless transfer of designs from a computer or the Artspira app.
Brother is explicit that this unit does not sew, it only embroiders, which matters for anyone assuming a PE-series machine covers both jobs. The 3.7 inch color touchscreen and wireless LAN are what separate it from Brother's cheaper USB-only embroidery models, letting designs move over without a cable each time.
- 4 x 4 inch embroidery hoop area
- Wireless LAN plus Artspira mobile app support
- 135 built-in designs and 10 font styles
- Accessory pouch with needles, bobbins and seam ripper included
Who it's for
Fits someone who already sews separately, or does not need to, and wants a focused embroidery machine with a reasonably large 4x4 hoop and a library of built-in patterns. Not a fit for anyone shopping for one machine to both sew garments and embroider.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Wireless LAN and USB both supported for moving designs onto the machine
- 3.7 inch touchscreen for positioning and previewing before stitching
- 135 built-in designs plus 10 fonts included
- Embroidery only, it will not sew garments
- 4x4 inch hoop caps the size of a single design area
- 120V only, not usable outside the US without voiding warranty
Performance notes
Designs load onto the PE545 either through the built-in USB port or wirelessly over LAN via Brother's Design Database Transfer software, with the Artspira app adding hand-drawn or downloaded pattern support from a phone. The 3.7 inch touchscreen is used to drag, position and preview a pattern on the hoop area before stitching starts, and the machine carries 135 built-in designs and 10 fonts, seven English and three Japanese, so it can also produce text without an outside file. It runs at 120V, and Brother notes the warranty does not cover use outside the US on other voltages.
