PE540D Embroidery-only Machine

This is my second Brother embroidery machine and I love all the features such as: push button start and stop, needle threader, thread cutter, Disney designs, USB support for designs.

For a first timer this is a great machine! Very easy to use. Things I truly like about the machine. All the preloaded images give a first timer more than enough things to “practice” with before doing actual projects. The screen is set up so you have numbers to match your threads. A few things I don't like. I can't tell what the picture is in the screen, so I have to be sure to have a “hard” copy of the item I'm embroidering. I also don't like the automatic threader well I loved it until the thread got tangled and I somehow broke it. Other than that I love this machine. Now remember I have never embroidered a thing in my life and this machine makes it easy! I suggest watching videos and going through the Manuel throughly as there are little tricks to fix errors along the way. Also know how to download images from other sites properly with the correct download file. Then it's all easy!

It does exactly what I wanted it to do. Disney Embroidery! That's what I wanted it to do! I haven't done tons of embroidery, but what I have done has turned our so nice. Exactly why I bought it.

I was disappointed the machine didn't come with an instruction dvd. It is hard to figure out the process when you have never used an embroidery machine before. I made several rookie errors, but once I figured it out things went fairly smoothly. I made matching Christmas Mickey Mouse t-shirts for my four grandchildren, my husband and myself. Very rewarding!
