    • Professional quality, easy to use
Style: PE550D
I have never embroidered before, but this machine is really user friendly and easy to navigate menu, the instruction manual is easy to follow. The built in fonts are great and the built in designs are fun, but the best is the USB to load your own designs (try Inkscape / inkstitch free software for designing and creating the files) ... show more

    • Embroidery made Easy

I wanted to embroider some quilt panel for a quilt I was making for my grandchildren. This was the perfect machine for my need. It is super easy to use. I love the build in designs and it is easy to import other designs.

    • Love this machine
Style: PE550D
The PE550D is an easy to use machine. The maximum hoop size is 4 x 4. I knew this when I bought it, but I'm not sorry. I had been looking at the PE800 with a 5 x 7 hoop, but the price skyrocketed beyond my budget. I bought this one because it had the Disney designs loaded and the cheerful Mickey and Minnie faces on the exterior. My advice for anyone starting/new to machine embroidery is to watch Youtube videos for beginners. There are many good tutorials out there, though not specifically for the PE550D. Then start trying out designs for yourself. My first design was the Minnie Mouse face. It was so cute. I turned it into a face mask for a 6 year old who was delighted with it. You will need to learn about stabilizers and threads. Buy the prewound bobbins here on Amazon, they are wonderful. I have downloaded designs from online sites and using the USB stick put them into the PE550D and embroidered them. Always make a practice piece first. You will see if it stitches out the way that you want. I did have some issues with bobbin thread pulling to the top of a preloaded design and adjusted the thread tension a bit and it worked well afterwards. Embroidery threads: Madeira thread, Gutermann thread, and Hobby Lobby thread all work well in the machine for me. I have tried Coats & Clarks Rayon that I had from a previous project and it also stitched up nicely. Remember that the largest design you can make will be slightly less than 4 x 4. Since I don't plan large projects, this works for me. Sweet Pea and Kreative Kiwi sites have nice 4 x 4 designs and in the hoop projects that will work on this machine. I've had lots of fun with mine, got it Jan 2021. BTW: Walmart also sells stabilizer and scissors that will work with this machine. Use coupons for Hobby Lobby and Jo Ann's and you will save money. Look for Hobby Lobby's Sewology Embroidery Thread at a half price sale. Some online embroidery design sites have free designs that are fun! Enjoy your adventure! ... show more

    • Worked right out of the box.
Style: PE550D
I love my 550D. I chose it for the color display over a larger hoop selection. It’s not very loud, and stitches about 5-7 stitches per second. The more expensive machines go much faster, and tend to screw up more! The selected design is displayed in color, a list of needed colors is to the right of it, along with estimated time to sew that color in minutes, and on the left, the top box displays the current color’s journey. A black plus sign, outlined in green, is seen on the larger picture tracing the needle’s journey through the design. Fascinating! The largest design is 100 mm square. The auto thread cutter can be disengaged if you prefer to do your design in all one color. One note, the list of colors is displayed with the current color on top, then disappears when the next color is up! I didn’t realize it until I noticed my cat in a teacup was receiving gray ears, not pink. I used this machine right out of the box. Factory settings may be changed but I left them, and am very pleased. I neglected to check the needle, to make sure it was in securely, but it was fine anyway. Bobbin in the bobbin case was empty, so a new one replaced it. It was packed tightly (my mail lady *rolled* it out of her truck and I had to restrain myself from shouting “That’s my new sewing machine!” She did hear me.) All the instructions for threading are pictures, both in the book and on the machine so you can’t go wrong. I must learn to remember to lift and lower the presser foot. My previous machine did it for me. If you break a thread there is the needle jump button, for going back 1, 10, or 100 stitches. I’ve never used an automatic threader and see no reason to start now, but it is in the way a bit. No idea where to find the software. I settled for Data 7 to convert my old HUS designs to PES. I highly recommend this machine. ... show more

    • Perfect for beginners
Style: PE550D
This is my first embroidery machine and it is so easy to use. Anything I am unsure of is explained in the instructions. It also came preloaded with Disney images which have been great to learn with.

    • Much happier!
Style: PE550D
Update: I received my replacement machine. What a difference. No issues so far. This is what I expected from Brother. This machine also had a bunch of accessories the first one didn't. Seems to work. I haven't had to change bobbin or needle so far. I will update in a few weeks. But so far so good. I had to return my machine. Waiting for a replacement. This machine was not right. After five days still hadn't gotten one design to come out correctly. Constant tension and bobbin issues. Nothing worked to fix it. I have been sewing for years and know about threading when foot is up, making sure needle isn't bent, threading bobbin correctly etc. Kept getting errors and a constant loud clicking, which means needle is hitting. I almost felt like the machine I received was refurbished and not new. I hope to give a good review when replacement comes. I trust Brother machines and have owned several embroidery machines, and have never had these issues. Brother is generally a very solid brand and use friendly. I will update. ... show more

Bought this machine and it torn over 10 shirts and broke all the needles that came with it. Reported the issue to the seller but all they do is referring me to Brother for warranty while the machine had issues since day one.
