Brother Innov-is NQ1700E Embroidery Machine with Exclusive Bonus Bundle

I'm getting used to this bigger machine and I think I'm going to love the possibilities. Still figuring out how to do things. Everything is going well.

This is my first embroidery machine and I do love it. A friend of mine has a brother embroidery machine, and I had her embroider something for me and had been thinking about purchasing one, but didn't know anything about them. After spending the afternoon and watching her seeing what she was doing I came home and said I want one of these,so I researched and decided to buy one just like hers. I've incorporated it in some quilts that I've sold to people and they are thrilled to have a name and a date embroidered on it and I've also done some other designs. Pretty easy to learn how to operate.

So happy with my choice! Did a ton of research for my very first embroidery machine. The NQ1700e is everything I needed...had to buy online due to not living near a dealer, wich means I had to teach myself how to use...would love Brother sponsored instructional videos for customers like me

Dont know why it took me so long to purchase! I love it. I have made so many beautiful things with it. The machine is simple to use and sitches beautifully. It is very addicting!

I bought the 6x10 loop, but quickly found it's not big enough. The machine works great though and I'm able to do a lot with it. My biggest gripe is the Aspria app is for phone or ipad only. I like the accesibility of doing things on my laptop or desktop, so I am jumping through hoops to design on my computer, to send to my phone Aspira app, which then sends over to the machine.

Easy to work on but it just sounds very clunky. My needle was stuck in needle slot had to take it back to get it removed. The wireless connection is nice

I have had this machine for 5 months and I absolutely love it. Bonus … it is so quiet compared to my previous machine. This is my second Brother embroidery “only” machine. I upgraded to this model firstly, for the automatic clipping of jump stitches. Secondly, a larger embroidery area, I now have the option of being able to embroider larger designs with the 6”x 10” hoop. It is so convenient to be able to do designs with the 2 hoops sizes Brother included with this machine, the 5”x7” and the 6”x10”hoops. December 2022, my awesome NQ1700E was operating full time, during my waking hours; for 3 weeks!! I used metallic threads, Glitter sheet vinyl and Luxe sparkle vinyl, all without issues. I did slow down my machine to its lowest speed, adjusted tensions accordingly to stitch density etc., which I normally do for all of my projects. Other materials it handles beautifully, that are not commonly used are Tulle and Organza. One thing I discovered early on with Brother is to use Organ needles and always check your newly purchased Brother Bobbins, (as with anything, items can be faulty, if you find ANY nick or ridge/rough spot on the inner/outer portion of the bobbin …. Do Not Use! …. Trust me, it will safe yourself a lot of grieve.). One thing I have not tried with this machine is the Wireless option to transfer designs from my computer to the embroidery machine. One needs the ‘Design Data Base Transfer' to do so. Unfortunately “this app is NOT compatible”with my Apple devices! hopefully Brother updates to make all devices compatible. However, there are some issues! CONS: 1. Jump stitch clipping: I am frequently finding the bobbin area or the underside of the embroidery item, to be “messy thread knots or small thread nests”, where the jump stitch has been clipped. (Yes, keeping the bobbin case clean prevents this …. sadly not)! It is necessary to clean up any unsightly thread knots or wee nests, specially for the construction of free standing lace and free standing items …. as these items are visible from both sides!! I do many of these. 2. Brother, PLEASE, make cleaning possible of the upper thread feeding area, (that is presently under permanent machine cover). Thread dust, metallic thread bits, etc., could be stuck to a disc/wheel that the thread feeds through and is most likely the problem for many upper thread issues! 3. Brother, PLEASE … make all DEVICES compatible regarding design transfers to our embroidery machines. 4. Lastly, PLEASE, …. Allow all Brother embroidery machine owners eligible for access to iBroidery!!! Not only limited to USA customers! In closing, yes I do LOVE my machine and yes, I highly recommend the Brother Innovi-s NQ1700E.

I have only had the machine a short time. Every time it does the automatic cut I have to redo the bobbin thread because it won't pickup. I spoke to my dealer but got no resolution. For the price it should work as correctly

I love the ability to use a 6x10 hoop and having the jump threads cut however, my machine has several things that have gone wrong within the first couple of months of ownership. The jump thread cutter works occasionally, the needle threader handle has cracked off making it unusable and it has begun to shred the thread. It goes into the repair shop after using it for 3 months.

This machine is supposed to connect to the Internet with no problems. Called support as it was not connected to the Internet. They said it runs on a lower speed than a lot of homes are I called my provider. They said I could run a lower speed for that machine, but when I tried to connect it, it still would not connect. Obviously this machine is dated and its capability to connect to the Internet. Most homes are at 5G and this machine runs at 2.4. You can get your Internet to run a 2.4 fourth machine, but it still won't connect properly.
