Brother SE350 Computerized Embroidery-and-Sewing Machine Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I 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.

Brother 40-Stitch Computerized Sewing Machine CE4000 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I teach sewing lessons in Spring Texas (www.GetSewing.com). I was tired of students bring "problem" machines. I bought this machine for because two students brought ones like it and I was impressed with the quality for the price range. A good thing is, you can sew very slowly. The machine goes when you press on the foot pedal, it doesn't growl and hesitate. You can also sew fast too. The only thing I don't like on this model is that every time you stop, it stops with the needle down in the fabric and you must turn the hand wheel to move it up. It would be much more useful if the needle stopped in the position.

Singer CE-150 Futura Sewing-and-Embroidery Machine Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Before my Singer, I had only used a machine twice in my life, so when it arrived, I got a pleasant surprise - I was off sewing within minutes, getting great results and having loads of fun. I especially love that threading is so easy, and you learn quickly where to be careful to avoid thread breakage.

Changing to embroidery unit - no problem, though getting the right foot attached usually takes me a sec. I daringly started off with one of my own Embird designs... without a glitch, even without the use of stabilizer, just straight onto firm cotton.

I love that the machine is easy to use, especially the Futura software. Its 24 standard stitches are more than enough, its embroidery is great. And my absolute favorite is the hoop size! Other machines with a similar (still higher) price tag come with a 4"x4" hoop, this one has two hoops with a maximum of 5"x7". You might not think you will need this, but you will - either when doing multiple designs on one large hoop, or just embroidering longer names.

The manual could be improved at times, but I hardly ever needed it.

I hear people complaining about broken thread - honestly, just like with every machine, you just need to know the Singer's quirks.

During the first 3-5 stitches of every color, hold the upper thread in the back, and no false thread breakage will occur. If it still does, thread the whole thing again and you will be fine. Don't use pre-wound bobbins without stabilizer. It will give you trouble after only 1/3 of the bobbin is empty, and since the bobbin case is plastic, you really shouldn't use metal bobbins either. Just wind your own bobbins when needed, it is easy enough.

Make sure that you use good embroidery yarn; every machine has brands it doesn't like. I am currently extremely happy with the Madeira yarns.

The fact that it needs a computer next to it... You know that before buying, don't you? To me, that is not a disadvantage at all, since I appreciate the large screen, and that I can work in Embird while the machine embroiders, preparing the next project.

It really is an awesome machine for that price. In Europe, the only difference between the 150 and the 250/350 are the number of stitches and which software is included.

Since I am using Embird, I really needed nothing except the Futura software to send designs to the machine, and 24 stutches is more than enough for what I do.

I highly recommend the machine - I am utterly in love with it.

4 Extra Large Spools of White Bobbin Thread - 5000 Mts Each Review

Product Description:
4 X-Large Spools of White Bobbin Thread. These are 60wt 2ply Filament Bobbin Thread. Each spool has 5000 meters of thread on it. This will last you a long long time and you do not need to worry about running out of Bobbin thread while Embroidering. Each spool is brand new and is individually shrink wrapped to prevent damage from dust. Polyester has little or no lint. Hence your machine will run longer between cleanings. This thread is very shiny appearance, thin, lightweight and yet extremely strong. Embroiders love this since it creates a soft backing, even on dense designs. Many machine quilters like using a filament poly thread in the bobbin. Due to it's slick surface, it works well with metallic threads and heavy cotton threads. The slickness of the filament poly thread does not snag or grab the top thread. NOTE: The colored Embroidery Threads are shown only to give you an idea about the size of the spools and are not included.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased the hoops about a month ago, and am wondering how I survived so long with out all of the sizes! A 5x7 hoop is what came with my machine and I always just made do with it. Now that I have had the 2x2, 4x4 and 5x12, I am amazed at how much easier my sewing projects have become! (Onsie's are so much easier with the 4x4!)
The hoops are great! I can tell absolutely no difference between these hoops and the Babylock hoop that came with myBabylock embroidery machine. ( I have the Emore)
The scissors and the thread were just bonus for me although I have to say I love the scissors because they have such a sharp point. I use them a lot for applique designs in those hard to reach area's.A nice selection of colors of thread were sent too and as far as I can tell so far, the quality is good.
Over all I am super pleased with my purchase, the price was great and the hoops are awesome!

Product Description:
Introducing the Elipse 4-Hoop Embroidery Package w/ Embroidery Thread and Scissors made specifically for the Brother PE-700, PE700II, PE-750D, PE-770, PE-780D, Innovis 1000, Innovis 1200, Innovis 1250D, PC-6500, PC-8200, PC-8500, PC-8500D, Babylock Ellure, Ellure Plus, Emore, Ellure (ESL) and Esante (ESE2).

The Elipse Embroidery Hoop Package provides the user with High-Quality, Durable Hoops at a low cost, the perfect combination! Included in this amazing package is an Extra-Large 3-Position 5" x 12" Embroidery Hoop. Now you can embroider more than one design or overlap embroidery designs in a single hooping! Do you do a lot of embroidery? Wouldn't it be nice if you didn't have the lag time of uh-hooping your hoop and re-hooping it to do your next project? Well when you buy this package you will receive a 5" x 7" embroidery hoop, so you can hoop the original hoop and while you are embroidering you can hoop this hoop. Children's clothes, bibs, shirts and more sometimes do not require the large 5" x 7" Embroidery Field, so wouldn't be nice if you could use less stabilizer and have a more stable project? That is exactly what the including 4" x 4" is for. Do you embroider pockets? Or other small items? Use less stabilizer and prevent puckering by using this included Pocket Embroidery Hoop (1.5" x 2). Add names and small designs to pockets and more easily with professional results. The hoops are extremely strong and the Extra-Large 5" x 12" Embroidery Hoop is able to withstand over 60-pounds at the center of the hoop (It's weakest point). The Elipse Hoops also come with 7-Spools of High Quality Polystar Embroidery Thread and Embroidery Stork Scissors.

48 Large Spools Embroidery Machine Thread Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was skeptical about this set.The title says "Large" spools, and as I've learned in the past, Large usually means tiny little spools that are good for barely one project.Not these!

These threads are beautiful, they sew great (no fraying or breaking!!), and the colors are fantastic!I would recommend them to anybody!They really are large spools... not the huge overlock spools, but nice, thick, healthy amounts of thread.Buy them!
