Brother SE400 Computerized Embroidery and Sewing MachineI bought my Brother in April 2008 and have been sewing on it daily for at least 3 hours every day since then. I've never had ANY trouble with it. It's a MUST that you also buy the PED Basic to go with your machine so that you can download designs from the internet. I've downloaded over 8,000 free designs so far, and that's just a "drop in the bucket". You're limited to 4 x 4 designs (that's the only drawback). The machine is very light weight and has accompanied me on many trips. You don't have to have special needles or special bobbins for this machine. It's VERY user friendly! The patterns that come with the machine are very high quality, as are the Alphabets. I'd like to have more fonts on the machine, but they are so easily accessible on the internet that this really isn't an issue. I will say that 40 weight rayon thread seems to work best (and use a bobbin thread when embroidering). When I finally wear this machine out, I'll probably go with another Brother machine.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've been sewing for years, and have made anything from ball gowns to  simple Halloween costumes. I have a Brother Serger, and a New Home  Sewing Machine, plus a Singer Commercial machine that I put a lot of  cloth through in a year. I have wanted to venture into machine  embroidery for some time now and saw this little machine at my local  Wally World, it looked like fun so I bought it and here is what I have  found so far;  |  |
