Restored Brother PE800 5x7 Embroidery Machine, White (Refurbished)

after using the PE 625 for about a year I wanted the 5 by 7 hoop so I went to the bigger machine. The needle threader is amazing no more tails to cut at the beginning. 2 things though, cant find speed control and doesnt warn for jams like 625. Love, love, love this baby!

My auto-threader's plastic lever broke & the metal part cut deep into my palm. Then, the needle broke. The thread kept popping & i cant go back into the process - so I get a "bald patch". Im sure some of it is some user error, or thread issue etc. But I never got a chance to finish a design.

I purchased my first PE800 in February 2020. I enjoyed it so much and used it so much that I bought an additional PE800 in April of 2020. I have now also added a Brother PRS100 to my collection. The Brother PE800 is a GREAT DEAL considering the price point.

I see from some of the comments that they haven't had a good experience. I would suggest that these people watch some YouTube videos. There are all types of videos to help with every situation. I have had absolutely no issues with my machine. In fact, I love it so much that I bought a Brother PR655!

So I recently purchased a Brother PE800 and a Brother LX3817 Sewing Machine. First off, this is my first time using any machines of this type. The setup was easy on both machines, both came with tools and extras, a spool of bobbin thread, perfect clear touch screen, and the LED lights are so helpful. The embroidery machine - at first my thread kept tearing (100% trilobal polyester was the thread I was using at the time) , I couldn't level out the tension, too many loose strands, so as a "newbie" I was getting frustrated and was so confused on why it wasn't coming out as good as expected. My husband, suggested to buy new thread from a different brand... I embroided my son's name with it, and thread did not tear at all. Perfect tension, no issues whatsoever. After finding this out, I started to keep an eye on what kind of thread is good so I wouldn't mess up my machine, probably the first one I used was too thick for it. Thankfully now that I switched thread brand and texture, everything has been coming out beautifully. Both machines are so easy and simple. I highly recommend them.
