So about 5 yrs ago I bought a white 4400 embroidery machine, broke 17 needles the first day, then figured out it was the thread, well I was always leary of it, didnt use it much, ended up selling it a year ago. Well now I have the itch again, so did some research, and decided to try out the brother SE 400, well I keep having flashbacks of the other machine LOL.. the sound of breaking needles, eeekk..just a little leary, took it out of the box lastnight, but didnt do anything, I need to bite the bullet and just embroider on it..the regular sewing part seems fine..bought it just for embroidery..I have my pfaff which I love..... if it does good and I like machine embroidery I will take the plunge to a high $ one.... any suggestions before I get started?
thanks
Trish

When you buy from a reputable dealer you get free classes and they often have interest groups with projects to help you learn the versatility of your machine. Otherwise, take the manual and go page by page. You need the right stabilizer, needle and thread for your project, the tension needs to be right. Once you figure it out you will have fun.
