Brother Disney PE550D Embroidery Machine with Exclusive Bonus Bundle including Auto Digitizing Software and More

Okay I am brand new to embroidery machines but have been sewing for 65 years. This was so easy it was scary, I mean I was worried it would have a learning curve. I am a weaver, spinner, fiber artist. I literally only have to change the thread, the machine does everything!! It even knows where you left off if you accidently turn it off. Yesterday I ran out of bobbin thread and switched out mid design, wound a bobbin and it went right back and finished.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been wanting to purchase an embroidery machine for a very long time. This brother machine having exclusive Disney designs gave me the push I needed to choose this machine. I have been a lifelong fan of Disney and love that this machine comes preloaded with Disney designs. This machine comes preloaded with 125 decorative designs 45 of them Disney. It also has a built in memory and USB port for uploading your own designs. This machine has so many great features it's hard to know where to begin. I guess I will start with the LCD Touch Screen. I love that it has built in tutorials on how to thread the machine. The 4x4 Embroidery Hoop is perfect for embroidering my everyday household items. I am very happy with this machine. I do believe that Brother could make this machine even better by adding a starter pack of stabilizer and thread to complete a starter project.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great little entry-level embroidery machine for its intended purpose but I suggest you do some research to be sure this is the one that suits your needs. I'm sure it has been mentioned numerous times that this is an embroidery only machine. If you can only afford one machine, and you also want to do sewing, you might want to choose a combination machine like the SE600.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so super excited to get this!! It has so many great features. It comes preloaded with so many items and then you can load you own items to it!! I couldnt believe how wonderful this turned out to be.

This thing is absolutely loaded with the most coolest Disney designs - you can find something for nearly anyone in your life who loves Disney from princesses to heroes the possibilities are endless! I made tote bags, baby pajamas, headbands, quilts, wall hanging there was so much I was able to do with this machine! I am still craving all its features and I get more involved and set in the niche of things! I love the warranty it also comes with - this is such a nice machine - easy for a beginner / I can't rant & rave enough about it! To date I have 20 hours into this machine & cannot wait to keep these gifting items made from this year traditionally! Hands down my favorite crafting hobby! Addicted!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I will say I am just getting into embroidery and this machine is incredibly user-friendly. I have a very good friend of mine that works with several other brands. I asked her to help walk me through this machine and it was very easy to use. I'm excited that I started out with this brand!

I have always wanted an embroidery machine to do small items, this fits the bill, it was easy to learn the fonts are perfect for my needs, the machine is fantastic. I made a velvet bag with our Pastors name embroidered on it he really like it. It holds a Baptismal Shell, it is perfect.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so excited to start embroidering everything when I got this Brother embroidery machine. It is great for beginners, I consider myself crafty but this was my first time using an embroidery machine. My favorite feature is the needle and also the great selection of fonts and Disney options. The screen is easy to read and shows the design clearly.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am new at sewing and embroidery so when I got the Brother PE550D I was a little overwhelmed. I didn't know where to start but after reading the instructions and seeing the instructions on the machine itself, its very user friendly. I love the digital display, it has so many beautiful designs to chose from. I also like how I can use my own designs by downloading them onto a flash drive and plugging it into the machine. The machine itself is not too big and easy for me to hook up. I especially love the automatic threader! There are so many things I want to make now! I have a two year old daughter so I can make her some cute shirts with Disney embroidered designs, designs on her pants, blankets, onesies for special occasions. The possibilities are endless with this embroidery machine! I highly recommend to anyone new looking for a fun hobby or to someone who's easones in embroidery!

The product description states that it has "a USB port for uploading your own designs." What it does NOT state is that it requires separate purchase of software that you need to install and learn how to use. That revelation came after I had made the purchase and the product was received. I then had to process a return, which did not go smoothly.
