This machine is AMAZING! I love it! I was looking for a nice embroidery machine, I compared this one to some of the Babylock and other brands and this one is far more afordable and does all of the same things. My Stepmom has a babylock ellure plus which cost almost THREE times the cost of this one and they do the same things with the exception that this one is not also a regular sewing machine as well. But to tell the truth I prefer it this way. I can work on regular sewing while this machine is embroidering away! It is SO easy to use, the first day I got it I was able to get some embroideries going and they looked great! Stitching is beautiful and directions are simple. I'm sure there are a million other things this machine does that I haven't figured out yet, but so far its great! I LOVE the USB feature, I have embroidered so many free designs it pays for itself not having to but the cards! If you want a good machine at a reasonable price this is it! It's great!!!
I purchased this machine after searching for more expensive machines. The PE 770 has a lot of features that some of the other high end machines don't even have, such as a thread cutter. The 770 stitches out evenly and efficiently each time I use it. It is a great machine for the beginner looking to start machine embroidery. I have used it to make applique tshirts for my little girls. My only complaint is that the instruction manual does not really explain how to hoop anything other than a flat piece of fabric. I had to do an online search and found out how to hoop different materials such as a tshirt and a towel. (don't hoop the item, use a sticky back stabilizer, hoop that, and then attach tshirt to the sticky stabilizer outside of the hoop.) (towels need 3 layers of stabilizer, sticky back in the hoop, an iron on light tack stabilizer attached to the towel that you place on the sticky stabilizer in the hoop so that the sticky back doesn't pull the loops out of the towel when you remove it, and a water soluble stabilizer on top of the towel so that the stitches don't get caught in the loops of the towel.) phew. I am very happy with this machine so far and highly recommend it. I have found that I would like a little bit more creative control in the designs and am looking into purchasing compatible software to manipulate designs myself. Happy Sewing!
This is my third brother machine and I am definitely a fan of their products. This machine replaces my Innovis 900D for embroidery. I wanted an embroidery only machine so I wouldn't have to switch back and forth from embroidery to sewing. This machine also has the 5x7 hoop which I will use often too. My Innovis 900D uses a cable and USB port, while this one uses a flash drive, but I had no trouble learning to use the flash drive. Since all my Brother machines are basically the same, I had no trouble learning to use it, and was doing a sample embroidery very quickly. My only complaint is that the supplied 5x7 hoop is hard to use. I have much better luck with the Elipse brand with 4 sizes of hoops that I purchased elsewhere. They are very easy to put in place. I highly recommend this machine--it is definitely worth the money.
Excellent machine for the value. Since I already have a sewing machine, I wanted to purchase an embroidery only machine. The two machines allows me to sew while embroidering. Cost of machines in similar machines in embroidery/sewing stores start at $1400.00 I've already completed several projects with excellent results!!
We bought this as a step up from our first, and smaller Brother Embroidery machine that we got last year at this time. It is a very good machine. It is much quieter and more dependable then the smaller model.
I purchased this machine after having a babylock for 6 years. I debated on the Singer Futura, Janome, and this Brother model. I just found that the price point for what you get with the Brother was well worth it. I'm not saying anything against the others because I am sure they are fine machines but for about half the cost, the Brother has pretty much the same features. I have been using my machine for almost 6 months and have almost 2 million stitches used on it. If you are looking for something to run a full time business, this is not necessarily the machine you would want to use long term but to get started in a monogram/embroidery business, personal monogramming, or for a back-up to a commercial machine, this is what you want. This machine has worked quite well so far. My business really grew so I have since purchased a commercial machine but still use this as back-up. It's easy to use and requires little to actually get started. I have had an issue with thread breaking but only when I have used cheap, inferior thread. If you stay with a good quality thread, you should not have this problem. The most difficult part was getting the frame to clamp into the arm. You have to put it in just right or you will struggle trying to get it to click in place. Make sure to put the back on first. If you know very little about monogramming or embroidery, it is important to know that you can't use those cute fonts you buy online unless you have the software which allows you to do this. You can do the basic letters that are installed in the machine and you can do appliques but you will have to spend an extra few hundred dollars to get the program you need to create names, merge designs, etc.
The Brothers PPE770 appears to be a very good machine. I'm a beginning and have never emboidered before. The machine has a tutorial built in and has many designs. My only wish is that it had a video to showing step by step operation.
This is my first embroidery machine. I had it up and running in about an hour. Very easy to use
This machine is perfect for my small business! The auto thread is a great feature and makes thread breaks and changes a breeze. It works and looks exactly as advertised and Overstock delivered it quickly.
LOVE the machine; easy to operate; my cousin has one as well and she recommended. Can be up and embroidering very quickly; I did do better with filling the bobbins on my regular sewing machine but my cousin bought a pack of 144 that were already on the spools.
