Overview

Not a bare machine, this Brother embroidery bundle adds BES Blue lettering software, a magnetic sash frame hoop and a quick start video to a machine with a large embroidery field. A color touchscreen handles placement, rotation and tracing.

Embroiderers get a big field for jacket backs, automatic jump stitch trimming and software for lettering in one package. The magnetic hoop is smaller than the full field, and the specs list the power source as battery powered without explanation.

Who it's for

Jacket backs, quilt blocks and lettered gifts suit the large field and included fonts. Anyone after regular sewing stitches should note the listing describes embroidery features only.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Large field for big designs
  • Trims jump stitches automatically
  • On-screen rotate, reflect and trace
  • Wireless design transfer
Cons
  • Magnetic hoop smaller than the full field
  • Power source entry looks unreliable
  • Heavy to move

Performance notes

Clean results come from the programmed trimming, which cuts upper and lower threads at each color change so jump stitches do not need hand clipping. The magnetic hoop clamps fabric with strong magnets, which speeds hooping on materials within its thickness limit.
