Hi New here and just wondering what owners of the Brother SE400 think of their machine.
I have a bit of cash set aside for a new sewing/embroidery machine and a few friends have recommended the Brother.
There's a lot of machines out there, but I like the fact that patterns can be downloaded from the net. It also fits within my budget, so that's another positive!
Anyone got anything good / bad to say about this?
Thanks :)
The Brother PE770 is a better buy. It is only an embroidery machine and a very fine one. Expecting a low cost machine to do both sewing and embroidery ( I think) is asking too much. Polly
Thanks for the response. This review that I found after a quick Google search seems quite positive about the SE400, but you do raise a valid point about the price level and capability if the machine.
Certainly food for thought!
Gen makes a good point and people tiring of them quickly means there are pr obably lots of almost new gently used machines available at a good price. Maybe you'd consider two used machines- one for sewing and one for embroid ery.... possibly for the same price as one new machine???
Leslie & The Furbabies > It looks like a very good starter machine. Brother makes good machines.

WalMart carries this machine and I've been looking at it for a year. The built in designs are limited, as compared to the more expensive machines and I believe it would be a good beginner embroidery SM. I am considering getting one this next winter. I have a more expansive machine that does embroidery, but not the designs of this Brother, and my favorite Pfaff does not do the 4" designs with the hoops. A few years ago I got a more complicated Pfaff that will do a 4" design with an embroidery attachment, but I have not used the machine except for regular sewing. Barbara in SC
