Embroidery Machines Lets Chat & Have Fun
#221
Any opinions on the Brother PE 770? I am seriously looking into getting an embroidery machine. Since I am a novice at this kind of stitching, I figured this would be a good one. I visited a local Sewing Machine shop a couple of weeks ago. And asked the Lady what would be a nice beginner machine. She promptly steered me to a $3000.00 Babylock something. I told her I did mention I was just starting out into the embroidery world. Not to do a hostile takeover.

I have a Bernina Artista 730. I have used the embroidery on the machine lots of times..and find it so easy to use. I made a quilt for my granddaughter Chloe...and at the moment am working on a quilt using Janet Samsons wreaths...that consists of a large center wreath and then 12 smaller ones that will be on other blocks surrounding the large one. Now I have to figure out how to post a picture. I did post of picture of the baby quilt.

Hi, I noticed your post about the Bernina 440 enmbroidery unit. I just purchased the emb unit for my 440 2 months ago. I was really intimidated in the beginning but now I find it quite easy to use. If your dealer offers classes, that is a real help. The biggest issue I find with it is conecting to the computer and keeping enough room to work. There is the occasional blip, when the computer waits a few seconds to send the info to the machine. but then it just goes ahead and does a beautiful job! Let me know if you have any problems, I will try to help you out. Lynne

Here is a couple of very bad pictures, (I do sewing good, embroidery good, photography not so good). Hopefully I will get some help soon to get better pictures.

Anyone out there who can share, I'd love it.

Gail, those pics are gorgeous. What machine do you have? Are those re-hooped? Absolutely beautiful.

I have bought alot of embroidery library's designs...probably several hundred and they stitch out beautifully! I watch for their monthly sales that are sometimes 10 designs for $10.00 and then I go to my wish list and buy the designs I have been wanting. Just have to be patient if you don't want to pay $5.99 for that design you want. I so love their designs.

I think the 770 has a 5x7 stitch field and a USB port for transferring designs. Those are the two things I would recommend anyone buying an embroidery machine get. Even though I can do much larger designs, I really prefer using my 5x7. That is my most favorite hoop.
Good luck with whatever you decide to get. Machine embroidery is as addictive as quilting.
