Brother PE800 Embroidery Machine Reviews
If you’ve been searching for an embroidery machine that allows you to create dazzling embroidery designs, Brother offers an exceptional option.
The Brother PE800 is an easy-to-use embroidery machine that features a 5” x 7” embroidery field for larger embroidery projects. This embroidery machine allows you to select from built-in embroidery designs or import your own from compatible sources. The PE800 embroidery machine features 138 built-in designs, including 10 frame designs and 11 built-in fonts (7 English, 3 Japanese, and 1 Cyrillic). Some of the designs include beautiful scrollwork, floral, and quilt patterns—plus 10 frame shapes and 14 border styles.
This machine has been engineered with additional design editing features. This provides flexibility to rotate, mirror images, increase and decrease the size of your designs, and see how your edited designs look right on the color LCD touch display before stitching. The PE800 is easy to use and thread: simply follow the numbered threading diagram printed on the machine. An automatic needle threader saves time and reduces stress by pushing the thread right through the eye of the needle.
The Brother PE800 is a big upgrade from the Brother PE770. I'm a beginner at embroidery, and after a lot of research on YouTube, blogs, and forums, I am a very happy owner of this Brother PE800. I have used the PE770, a very good machine, but it is very hard to see the images on the b&w screen. The color screen on the PE800 is very clear and easy to use, allowing you to actually see what you are embroidering.
I have a lot more to learn about the machine but will share some of the features I have found I love. The PE800 allows you to add and edit multiple designs and fonts on screen, place letters in an arc and on 2 lines, drag and drop embroidery patterns, and move and position your pattern with the touch of your finger. The PE800 has a built-in color palette that allows you to change individual thread colors on screen.
The workspace and around the needle are super illuminated with 2 bright LED lights. The bobbin uses 90 weight bobbin thread; I ordered a big box of pre-wound bobbins and much prefer to use them than winding my own. Use good quality upper thread, correct the weight of bobbin thread, stabilize your material correctly, and you should have a really good time using this machine. Sit down with your manual and go through it step by step.
It's fun and there are so many possibilities with the choices of patterns out there. The PE800 has a USB flash drive port, making it easy to put any purchased embroidery patterns on the machine to embroider. The PE770 and PE800 both take the same hoops. A big plus for me because I had all the hoops for the PE770.I am new to embroidery and have found this machine very easy to use and SO much fun! I was intimidated at first.
When Brother PE800 Embroidery Machine arrived, I let it sit in the box for a few days. Then recycling day arrived so I opened the box and set up the machine, which took five minutes. I stared at it for a few more days and finally decided to bite the bullet and was joyously surprised at how very easy it is to use. Even a total novice like me could use it pretty much immediately. Now I'm excited about what is to come and learn more.
I make memory bears for hospice families and it is so nice to be able to embroider the deceased person's name on the bear and add a symbol of something meaningful to them. So much more personal and so much fun. I wish I'd bought this sooner. I hadn't done much machine embroidery when I got this as a gift, and I find it's relatively easy to use even though I'm almost an idiot when it comes to software and transferring embroidery designs.
Read the instructions manual and go at it. Leave the presser foot up to thread the machine or let it self-thread; that's the trickiest part, and it's a piece of cake. Online videos are available if you get stuck on something, but even a beginner shouldn't have too much difficulty once the basic set-up is completed. It sews beautifully (and I don't even understand how to adjust the upper tension yet, so that's quite a compliment).
I've been surprised at how much I've done in a month, how much I actually can do, and how great embroidery designs come out. Yeah, Brother!! Even on the Sunday of the NFL/AFL championship games this year, the conversation was a lot about what great products Brother makes. This is a winner!!! No time out, and no "Game's over."
