Brother SE700 Sewing and Embroidery Machine, Wireless LAN Connected, 135 Built-in Designs, 103 Built-in Stitches, Computerized, 4" x 4" Hoop Area, 3.7" Touchscreen Display, 8 Included Feet, White

Amazing machine!! Embroidery works great. Took a few tries to get the embroidery to show. For some reason it was pulling the bobbin thread. I rethreaded it a couple of times and ran some tests on scrap fabric and finally it worked beautifully and embroidered perfectly. Maybe it just needed to work the kinks out on its own. Sewing is so much easier with all the bells and whistles like automatic threader, thread cut (with a push of a button!), speed control, and so much more. Don’t buy into the hype that beginners should purchase a no frills machine. I wasted so much money that way. Thank goodness Amazon is wonderful with returns and just great deals on great machines. I am better at sewing with a machine that has speed control, proper thread cutting that is automatic, and an automatic threader. My first machine was great but no speed control and I ruined so many projects by pushing too hard on the pedal. I realized very quickly that was a luxury that was necessary for me. I drive with a lead foot and using a sewing machine proved to be different ha ha. This was the only machine I could find that had the automatic threader AND thread cutter. Such a wonderful option. I love this machine so much, I want to buy another one and keep one set up for embroidery and the other for sewing. Pipe dream of course because money doesn’t grow on trees and all lol. It is that good though. This is my fifth machine in six months so that speaks volumes. I started with a refurbished Brother that was basic and no frills and for someone who is good at sewing, that is all they needed. But I didn’t do well on it and almost gave up sewing. Then I decided to try another and upgraded three times until I got to this one. No other machine compared to how great this one is. Brother machines are just great but this one really checks all the boxes and even better for a beginner like me who needs things to be fool proof. The only other machines with the bells and whistles of this machine are Janome machines and ones that cost close to a grand. This is half that and includes embroidery. Save some money, ask for gift cards for Amazon for your birthday and Mother’s Day and buy this machine for yourself. You will be so happy you did. You won’t save money buying basic models just to be super disappointed and have buyers remorse. Go for this instead first time around and you will be so happy you did. You won’t outgrow it at all.

I had high ambitions to buy a much more expensive machine but just couldn't afford it. I settled on this machine and thought the embroidery function would be nice to have. I was absolutely blown away by the quality of this little machine. I use mine for mini quilts, mending clothes, and miscellaneous sewing. I have dabbled with the embroidery functions but I'm still learning that. Compared to my Singer machine from 20 years ago, holy cow. This machine is by far superior. Yes, I know, I'm comparing it to a much older machine but it was "entry level" as well. I absolutely love the speed control, needle down option, automatic needle threader, and the ability to automatically cut the thread. This machine has handled everything I've thrown at it without any issues. I was thoroughly impressed with the motor and how well this little machine handles thick quilt sandwiches. I'm not sure but I believe it has a separate motor for the bobbin winder? Don't quote me on that, maybe double check that but it sounds like it does. Brother thought of everything when designing this machine, down to even the bobbin winder having a thread holder/cutter. The drop in bobbin setup is awesome because it cuts the thread to the proper length it needs. The screen is crisp and easy to read. I performed a software update and it went flawlessly. I really like that they have you download it to a USB thumb drive then install from there. Less of a chance to brick the machine with a bad software update if your wifi drops. The screen is also very responsive to touch and everything is easy to find. The embroider function and available designs out of the box are pretty neat. You can also use the Artspira app to add more designs and transfer them over wifi to your machine. Very cool! You can even transfer your own designs you make or purchase from other shops into the app to transfer them to the machine. Of course you can also just use a USB thumb drive to load designs onto the machine if you'd like. This machine is amazing and I hope to get many years of use out of it. My only complaint is the throat space. Obviously you're not going to be making huge quilts with this machine unless you really like trying to squeeze huge rolls of fabric through the small throat space. You could probably get away with making throw quilts but don't expect this to fully accommodate sewing a king-size quilt obviously. All in all, I fully recommend this machine to anyone. If you're a beginner, it is super beginner friendly.

The Brother SE700 is a great starter embroidery machine! It’s very easy to set up and surprisingly simple to learn how to use. When I first got it, I watched a few videos online to learn how to properly thread the machine and replace the bobbin, and after that, it became very straightforward. The built-in touchscreen makes navigating the machine easy and allows you to browse through the designs that come included. One of my favorite features is the ability to use the Artspira app with the Brother machine. You can create or select a design in the app and transfer it directly to your machine, which is incredibly convenient. The machine also has a USB port, which gives you even more options. I use it for designs I create in Embrilliance or for purchased PES files from Etsy. You can simply load your design onto a USB drive, plug it into the SE700, and the machine will pull up the design for you. I’ve been using this machine for a few months now and absolutely love it. It has been so fun learning embroidery and creating my own projects. My only regret is not buying a larger, more heavy-duty machine from the beginning because I ended up loving embroidery so much! Overall, this is a fantastic beginner embroidery machine and I would definitely recommend it to anyone wanting to get started.

i ADORE THIS MACHINE!! a lot of reviews scared me but i am so glad i got this!! its perfect for a first timer & for a hobbiest!! i make stuff for friends & sell a few things here & there. all the designs on etsy ive bought have transferred almost seamlessly (it’s a bit of trial & error at first but then it’s perfectly smooth)!! a few needles broke but i bought specific embroidery needles i read about in another review that’s a 4 star & they have been great!! a big thing is tension when it comes to needle breaks, adjust the tension & if the machine sounds like it’s working too hard i just let it pause for a second & then resume the project!! it’s literally such a good machine & worth every penny to me!! i love that it’s compatible to the app & that’s how i upload designs from my ipad. it’s not super loud which i also love & it’s so easy to navigate & switch out the attachments for sewing & embroidery. it does take some trial & error but it isn’t super hard to figure out especially with access to youtube & the free artspira app, they have a bunch of tutorials & educational videos to watch. essentially i’m in love with this machine!! game changer & my new favorite thing in our house!! buy this product!! it’s WONDERFUL!!

So I've had this machine for over a year and finally writing a review. I am a self taught when it comes to sewing but I have done a lot of things. This is my 3rd sewing machine because I really wanted to ability to embroider but I thought my other machine was just fine, it was on the nicer side of options at the time but that cant even compair to this one. I love the easy touch screen setting and easy bobbin acess and rethreading. I personally dont use the needle self threading because I had a hard time trying to get it to work, so I just rethread it myself (proably my only major issue with this machine). So great for sewing honestly. Now the embroidery element is just fine, it works well and I've created my own patterns but it definitely cant do anything extremely fancy in my experience (maybe its a skill issue) but it does a fine enough job that I still love it and its good enough for the price. So if you want this for embodery only, its a fine choice but honestly the sewing element is definitely what makes it worth the price.

I wanted to love this machine! I have been wanting to try machine embroidery for some time and finally decided to make the plunge. The directions for setting up the machine are not great, but there are a lot of videos available. After setting it up, getting it threaded (which was nice and easy!) I was ready to go- I will say that this actual part was fairly simple and straightforward. However, as soon as I started my first piece, my needle snapped. I figured maybe I had hit it inadvertently when loading the hoop, shrugged, and replaced the needle. The same thing happened within a few seconds! I did some troubleshooting, couldn’t identify anything amiss, and then I went again for round 3. The machine started to stitch. Suddenly, it stopped- I removed my project, and realized that the bobbin thread was a terrible mess. In addition to this, needle number 3 broke. Even after removing the broken needle and untangling the thread, the needle would not go up and down and only shook. I am sure that I could have taken it to a sewing store for service, but at this point, had had enough and will be looking into another brand. Very disappointing.

I love this machine. It works exactly as described. Excellent machine for my beginner needs. Great quality for price.

Excited about my Brother SE 700! At first I thought I did not have all the supplies. Be sure to check all the little crannies of the styrofoam holders. That is where the accessories case with your other footers & supplies are. I thought I did not have those. I will come back with another review of the use of the machine. So far it has been easy to set-up following the directions and some YT videos (both through Brother and other persons who have the same machine).

Was great value for the price

I love this embroidery machine. Once you set up the machine, the only thing left to do is enjoy what it can do. It is user-friendly, with an instruction guide and YouTube guide.

¡Esta es tu señal! Definitivamente lo recomiendo ✨ Me recuerdo reivisando meticulosamente mis opciones para mis proyectos de bordado, el miedo a hacer una mala inversión... Y ahora estoy segura de qje fue la mejor decisión. Llegó en excelentes condiciones, super a tiempo, y es una máquina tan noble y bonita 🩷

I recommend the machine. It's semi-professional. You need to know that the machine isn't just about buying and embroidering, etc. You need threads, needles, and most importantly, some kind of website to design or embroider. These websites aren't free, costing at least 15 pounds for the most basic. It's neither easy nor cheap. I've already broken a few needles. It's fine for beginners. You need a learning base. It works well, I need more hours to learn more. It weighs approximately 7 to 8 kilos.

So excited to try my new machine and is very handy and takes up little space 👍
