Brother SE400 - Worth It?
Hi
New here and just wondering what owners of the Brother SE400 think of their machine. I have a bit of cash set aside for a new sewing/embroidery machine and a few friends have recommended the Brother. There's a lot of machines out there, but I like the fact that patterns can be downloaded from the net. It also fits within my budget, so that's another positive! Anyone got anything good / bad to say about this? Thanks |

Brother SE400 - Worth It?
The Brother PE770 is a better buy. It is only an embroidery machine and a
very fine one. Expecting a low cost machine to do both sewing and embroidery ( I think) is asking too much.

This review that I found after a quick Google search seems quite positive about the SE400, but you do raise a valid point about the price level and capability if the machine. http://www.slideshare.net/jhoangg/br...-manual-sewing Certainly food for thought! |

Brother SE400 - Worth It?
It looks like a very good starter machine. Brother makes good machines.
Embroidery only machines are very limited, and most people tire of them very quickly.

Brother SE400 - Worth It?
Gen makes a good point and people tiring of them quickly means there are probably lots of almost new gently used machines available at a good price. Maybe you'd consider two used machines- one for sewing and one for embroidery.... possibly for the same price as one new machine???

Brother SE400 - Worth It?
"popmelainetos" wrote in message news Hi New here and just wondering what owners of the Brother SE400 think of their machine. snip WalMart carries this machine and I've been looking at it for a year. The built in designs are limited, as compared to the more expensive machines and I believe it would be a good beginner embroidery SM. I am considering getting one this next winter. I have a more expansive machine that does embroidery, but not the designs of this Brother, and my favorite Pfaff does not do the 4" designs with the hoops. A few years ago I got a more complicated Pfaff that will do a 4" design with an embroidery attachment, but I have not used the machine except for regular sewing. Barbara in SC |
