Brother PE800 Computerized Embroidery Sewing Machine with Grand Slam Package

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am totally brand-new to embroidery - never even watched someone use such a machine - and I am on my third T-shirt now and as happy as I have not been in a long time in my adult life. This is so much fun! The machine works great right out of the box.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Brother PE800 is an excellent embroidery machine. It is very easy to use and it works great. The instructions are very helpful and easy to follow. I am new to embroidery and I have never used embroidery machine before but this was very easy to learn and to use. I love the quality and the modern design of this machine. It is very well made, sturdy and durable. The quality of the finished products is excellent. Overall I am very satisfied with this machine and I highly recommend it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If your are a DIYer, this machine is perfect for you. It has so many options, that the least you are going to have with it is hours full of fun. I have had it for the past three weeks and every day I have learned something new and interesting. Super easy to use and it has an amazing speed. My embroidering skills have improved to a new level. This is by far, the best embroidery machine I have ever tried!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've always wanted an embroidery machine, but I felt that it would be too hard to learn how to use one. The PE800 by Brother makes me regret not getting into this craft sooner! Although it comes with PLENTY of bells and whistles, it's still easy for me to use as a beginner. The screen on the side of the machine even shows tutorials on how to operate the machine! How cool is that? The embroidery area is pretty big at 5"x7", which allows me to embroider all types of items with really detailed patterns. Speaking of patterns, the PE800 comes pre-loaded with 11 fonts and more than 100 designs. You can also find designs online and load them onto your machine via the USB port. You can use the machine's touch screen to preview and edit your designs before stitching. This embroidery machine is just so user-friendly. They even thought to equip it with an automatic needle threader. I can't wait to get more experience so I can see what else this machine can do!

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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am absolutely in love with my Brother embroidery machine. It is by far the best embroidery machine at/around this price point. For those who are considering the Brother machine with the 4"x4" embroidery area (as I did), you should really save up for this one instead. Just like any new hobby or skill you are trying to acquire, you will not be an embroidery master on your first try... and the only thing a prior background in sewing helps is for threading, which is easy anyway. For any of those who experience problems with the machine -- it's not the machine's fault but rather user error is more likely. I have thought it was my machine at times, but it was always something I was doing (or not doing). Make sure to test with different stabilizers, fabric types,

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!

This little machine is so full of extra's for the price. The editing is great. The color screen might be small, but it is very clear and easy to read. I had a PE700ll prior to this and I had over 40 million stitches on it. It is very easy to load designs onto a USB stick. I like that you can add named folders to the USB for ease of sorting. They did some changes on the threading path that I like a lot better.

I'm very happy with my purchase of this machine about six months ago. I love the ease of use and the versatility. I am disappointed in the display. When I insert a flash drive, the available designs are blurred on the display, and hard to see what they are, otherwise I would have given a five rating.

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.
