Brother SE2000 Computerized Sewing and Embroidery Machine with Exclusive Bonus Bundle

The Brother's sewing and embroidery machine is a must have if you sew. I love all the features it has and the Artspira app is a must have also for designs.

Love my Brother SE2000 Easy to use and does a lot for the price. Some of the instructions are a little confusing and hard to understand (for a beginner in embroidery and appliqué) but does beautiful work.

A lot of plastic parts. Also, don't like that the bobbin winder doesn't stop when it's full. I do like the embroidery ease of use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I admit I was really intimidated to use the Brother SE2000 Sewing and Embroidery Machine at first. While I have a sewing machine, I've never used one so advanced before, and I have never tried embroidery, period. It took me a couple weeks to use it after receiving it. Now I can't believe I waited! The learning curve is easy to adjust, and I've been making a lot of great gifts - and items for myself. I started with a lemon design (found in the app) on a towel, and I haven't looked back. This machine is fine for beginners. I relied on the manual and checking out YouTube videos for support and ideas. I love the wireless LAN capability, and the mobile app is easy to use. There's so many cute built-in designs as well. I like that you can edit on the LCD color display screen. There's 241 built-in sewing stitches, 13 built-in embroidery fonts, and 10 styles of one-step auto-size buttonholes. You have so many creative options. When connected to a wireless network, I love how I can send files from my computer to the machine without having to use a USB. So convenient. One of the best features is the Color Sort, which adjusts the order in which multi-color embroidery designs are stitched, thus reducing color changes, and making it more efficient. Also amazing is the practical Jump Stitch Trimming function, which automatically trims any excess thread jumps within the color. This machine is truly amazing and capable of so many sewing and embroidery projects. It's really a must have for anyone who likes either of those hobbies.

I have only used the embroidery function on this machine, and it embroiders beautifully - as well as my Babylock Ellageo! The wireless transfer of designs from my computer to my machine is awesome. However there is one thing that drives me absolutely batty! When it finishes a color step, the hoop moves away from the design (so that the foot is close to the edge of the hoop), then back to where the next step begins. There is no predicting which direction it will move. I design and embroider mostly small items that are floated on top of my stabilizer (felties, ornaments, key fobs, etc.) and when test stitching, I have one or more small pieces of materials on top of my stabilizer. When the hoop moves, then moves back to the design area, the foot catches on my materials! I have to be sure to tape all four sides of my materials down, and that just adds extra work for me. I have searched for a solution with zero results. I have never had a machine that has done this - and I cannot get used to it! Please fix this with an update!
