I've been eyeballing this machine for a while. You step by step video was exactly what I was looking for. Hoping to choose a machine while I'm at the sewing expo in Central Fla in Oct and purchase it! Thanks for the video!! You made my choice easier.

Jess, you are one of my favorite bag makers on KZread because you keep your instructions simple but clear. I have a Husqvarna Viking Rose embroidery machine that I bought in the early 2000’s. It was pretty expensive but you can use bigger hoops. Unfortunately the software is very outdated. Watching your video makes me want to invest in a newer machine Thanks for the great video.

I’ve been thinking about getting an embroidery machine and I’m so happy I found your channel. It’s been so helpful. Can’t wait to see new videos!

Thank you so much for this video. I've watched it over and over again. I decided to get a Brother SE1900 and I tried making some cable holders using your technique with the vinyl on the bottom of the hoop and it worked wonderfully! 😊 thank you thank you!!

You’ve totally enabled my crafting habit … buying one of these! I’d love to see start to finish tutorials for snap tabs for purse pals (how do I trim it so nicely) and hand sanitizer holders. Other teacher gifts too!! I also love your idea for quick summer projects!

I have the SE1900, which is the same embroidery section. Rethreading is incredibly quick and simple, plus it threads the needle as well. Not to be deterred from owning this machine because of thread changes. Love your channel!

I have been looking at this machine for awhile. Thank you for the demo. Can't wait to see more.

I bought a brother embroidery machine with a 4x4 hoop as my first embroidery machine to get used to using one. I truly love it! I want the Innovis by brother because I want a bigger hoop size for sure. It was so funny when you were doing certain things I was telling you what to push like you could hear me lol. Like the bobbin start button, etc.

Looking forward to more videos with this Brother machine (magnetic bobbins,...)! Embroidery is a complete new world for me, so looking forward to learn a lot. Thank you very much for this video! Enjoyed it a lot!

Great video!! I have a number of Brother Sewing machines and a 4x4 embroidery machine. I love that they are “ plug and play”. I think if I paid top dollar for a Bernina and it was that complicated to embroider I would have just returned it. I feel like the more you pay, the easier it should be to use, but it’s the opposite.

Hi, I just got my PE800, and I am thrilled. I have always wanted an embroidery machine but never really thought I would be able to get one. I will be watching every video you have on teaching me how to use it and do things. Thanks for using this machine for this video.

Thank you so much for this tutorial!!! I just got my PE 800 today and you helped me so much. Stay blessed.

Hi! Nice video! I have this machine, the combo version, I did lots of research about oiling because it sounded really odd that it doesn't need any. There are 4 main bearings holding the main shaft and the lower shaft, I am not familiar with the technology but the way I understood is that the inner part of these bearing have pores filled with oil that gets released when the machine is running, and returns to the pores when it cools down. When the stitching count reaches the service point, they change the exhausted bearings with new ones, apparently the service count is around 12 million stitches. Other parts are greased and you don't have to worry about them. I still put a very tiny drop of oil on the moving parts now and then, or you could apply a teflon lubricant making sure the excess doesn't drop on the elctronic components, motors or wires. I suggest doing this only after the warranty has expired though

Great tutorial!!! You have an amazing character. You made the instructions very easy to follow. You have an exceptional way of teaching, leaving the viewer informed and not confused. As a bonus, you are comical.😊👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Thank you so much for this! I didn’t realize you could do embroidery on vinyl! You have an amazing way to explain things. Thank you! Love your space as well❤

My mom bought one of these back in 2019 and I decided during the pandemic I wanted to play more and thankfully caught it when it was at $700 on Amazon and I swear I couldn’t love a machine more! I love the brothread brand and always buy the prewound bobbins for faster use. I’m hoping you do more tutorials with this machine!

Hi Jess, I watched you yesterday when you did the open box and set up for the Brother PE800. I am glad i got to see you live. I bought the same machine back in Nov and i have not use it yet. If you could do alot of videos on this machine it would be great. There are a ton of in the hoop projects and the one I want to see even though there are several out there is doing a cover on a mini comp book. I know your very particular and i know you would go a great one. I know you have one but it has too many hooping I think, could be wrong about that one. I will be happy for you to do anything that is with this machine. I am hoping I will start using it soon. Great job yesterday.

i bought a Brother Disney embroidery machine a few years back all excited wanting to have a go but then got so intimidated as i had no idea how to get going. Thanks for sharing. I now feel that i can get started finally

One of brother's strengths is their customer service, it's fantastic. Brother's instruction manuals are brilliant, and I actually photocopy and laminate the bits that I struggle with. Most of my electronic devices are brother, and I've never been worried because any problems that arise (not that there has been a lot), customer service is prompt and they actually come across like they want to help!

I’m so excited you’re doing videos like this!! Can you show how you cut these things out so nicely!!? And I believe a majority of computerized machines don’t require oil! You just have to get it serviced once a year or so!

Love this video!!! Thank you for doing the demo 🥰. I do not own an embroidery machine but would love to have one.

I just got the PE900 as an early Christmas present from the hubs. I had a tough time with that whole bobbin winding thing… even reading the instructions didn’t help (I must be slow), your tutorial helped so much. I was able to get the bobbin wound and stitched my first picture…. So exciting! Thank you so much for this video

Great video I just ordered this machine and have been watching videos. Yours is one of the best to set up, thank you.

Yay!!! Was waiting for this. Just got my new machine...perfect timing!! Whoop!!

Excellent video. I just bought my PE800 and can't find comparable videos for the machine on their youtube channel. Never owned a Brother before, so it's been a steep learning curve. You cover all the basics, which is exactly what I needed. I think Brother should pay you for doing what they won't do.

Yes, I would appreciate tutorials on embroidery. Thank you!

I have 2 Brother sewing machines, which I love. I have been wanting to do machine embroidery for many years, and I have been eyeing the Brother Stellaire Innov-is XJ1, but before I invest in it, I think I can start with this one! Please do some more tutorials from beginning to end explaining materials, stabilizer, how to cut around your design, etc., etc. I love your videos, and I have learned a lot from you! Thank you! 🥰

Hey Jess! Congrats on your new machine! I find that turning down your speed helps when doing embroidery on vinyl. That could be that bump noise you were hearing. I have a Babylock which is made by brother. After 6 years of heavy use, I have never had to hold the thread. I would think there is a needle threader. I can’t see it in the video but should be there given how many time you have to change colors. The Brother/Babylock threaders are great! Nope, won’t need to be oiled. I take mine in for service every 2-3M stitches. Kind of a tuneup. Any oiling is done then.

Jess thank you for the video. I just bought this machine to try out embroidery -so I am really going to love your future videos.

I bought my first embroidery machine 4 years ago. I got the Brother VM5100 sewing/embroidery combo. Biggest hoop is a 7x12. It was a splurge retirement gift I gave myself and I have loved it so much. First time to have a needle threader and it is the greatest thing ever. I use prewound bobbins from Amazon and my machine does fine with every brand of thread I've tried. I have it serviced once a year and it's oiled then. You don't have to hold the threads when you start because it will knot and bury them for you. It's the most fun I've ever had and I mainly sew for grandkids and gifts.

@@ritakoontz2336 That's great! I didn't know there was a 9x14. I had seen an upgrade awhile back, I think I was 8x8 and 6x10 that I thought about getting. I definitely need to check this out.

I started machine embroidery about 15 years ago and I thought about a Brother machine but my local store only carried Husqvarna Viking and I didn't want to drive an hour and a half to OKC to check out machines. So I purchased a floor model Platinum 950E machine for $1800 and I loved it. It used a card and a card reader which were becoming harder to find so I upgraded that to a Husqvarna Viking Topaz 30 about 10 years ago because it used a thumb drive. My husband got me that machine for Christmas and he paid $3600 for it. I traded that machine in last year for the last machine I will ever have and that is a Husqvarna Viking Epic 2 machine which is the absolute bomb. That machine was on sale in Tulsa for $13,000 with my trade in. I will have to say with all of the bells and whistles it is the easiest machine I've ever used to embroider on. I did not purchase the largest hoop that fits the machine because there really aren't enough designs available for that extremely huge hoop to justify the cost of buying it. The store in Tulsa also carried Brother and they are very, very nice machines. However, since I started with Husqvarna Viking I thought I should stick with that brand so I could continue to use all of the accessories I already had. I do more traditional sewing (garments and quilts) than I do embroidery so a multi needle machine was not something I was interested in.

I'm so happy you bought the Brother companion machine to my Brother SE1900 (Sewing/Embroidery) It's the exact same machine, yet the SE1900 has 240 Built-in sewing stitches and can sew up to 6mm of fabric thickness, while the 800 should be limited to 3mm.

Thank you for the double needle information!

Loved this! I’d love to see more of this

This is a great embroidery overview video! Thanks so much! If you could do a video where you discuss your Bernina embroidery hints and tips that would be great.

Hi Jess! you're so AMAZING!! Thank you for your geat videos, i'm learning so much from you. Big kiss from Azores Islands, Portugal.

Thanks for the video. I have been eyeing an embroidery machine for the last few months and this Brother PE800 is quite appealing to me. Yes, I would love more videos using this machine. As so many have commented, your videos are fun to watch, and even the most difficult pattern for me is made simplier by watching your wonderful videos. Thanks a bunch!

Love your video. Can't wait to try it out😊

love your video! Me and my bf have been thinking about getting into embroidery and this was a great vid to start with

Thank you so much for this unboxing tutorial. This is the machine I have been eyeing - I would love to see some more tutorials so I can be really sure it's the one I want. Could you do tutorials showing (1) using more than one thread color in a design; (2) showing everything you need to buy in addition to the machine to get started - stabilizer, thread, scissors, etc.; (3) difference in the stablizers and how do you know which one to use; (4) how to cut out the finished design. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Thank you I didn’t know I needed a embroidery machine .. 🤓🤣

The threading system looks just like my Baby Lock…if it is the same, you will love the needle threader!

I enjoyed this tutorial. I love my regular Brother sewing machine. When I am ready for the embroidery machine this will be my first choice. Thank you!

I got the Brother SE1900 which is the PE800 with the sewing function. I have upgraded to a Babylock Meridian for the 9 1/2 x 14 inch hoop but use my Brother for my sewing. The threader is great, read the instructions or watch KZread 🤣

That's funny, my husband bought me a Brother Project Runway machine. I love it. I've sewn a.little bit for years, but am trying to learn more. Still loving my Project Runway. Maybe eventually get a nicer one. When a bag of money falls down from the sky. Haha

The threader works great on my machine. My Bernina not so much, but the Brother threader is awesome.

Wonderful job ,amazing machine doing embroidery, thanks.

Also take it from someone who owns 4 machines, make sure that there is someone in your area who services the brand of machine you purchase. If you buy from a brick and mortar store chances are that there will be a technician there, but if you buy online, you may have to travel far to get serviced. And it is very expensive to mail these machines as they then to be very heavy.

I have a brother sewing machine as my first as well and this is what I used to learn on. Now I would like to know what’s the best inexpensive serger out there for someone like me that wants to learn how to use one. I find it would come in handy with some of my projects. Thank you, I really enjoy your videos and they inspire me to challenge myself and try new things.

This is very informative ….. love it !!!

What I have found using Husqvarna Viking is if you have nesting on the bottom of the embroidery it is because of the bobbin tension. That means when you put the bobbin in the bobbin casing, you have to hold your finger on the top of the bobbin while you thread it through the guides. If you don't do that on a Husqvarna Viking machine, the bobbin tension will be out of whack and you will have thread nesting guaranteed.

Thanks for the unpack of the Brother PE800. I won this machine a few months ago and have yet to take it out of the box.

I love Brother embroidery. I’ve had 3 so far.

I highly recommend having your machines covered. July last year we had a water leak in the house and the contractors had to rip out dry wall and replace, they didn’t cover anything and turned on a shop vac that put dry wall dust over my whole house. If my machines wouldn’t have been covered it would have ruined them or cost lots and lots of $ for maintenance

In January 2021 I bought a Baby Lock Vere with a 4 X 4 hoop, I love it! Expect for being held back by the hoop. I didn't do enough research about hoop size. But, I am finding all kinds of things to do. Key Fobs, Hair Clips small items.

Enjoy yours🥰 also use water soluble on top of vinyl cause the foot will stick on certain vinyl. And I cover the bottom of shiny vinyl with the paper that comes between your bolts of interfacing. The piece with the instructions. It tears away like butter. Glitter vinyl is the worst for sticking.

I've never used my 4X4 hoop. My B70 Deco does 6X10, but I usually use my 5x7

Great video! I love my SE1900 😀

I have this machine only in the PE770 Brother. Works wonderful. This machine and the 770 have the same hooping clamp The only thing is the way the hoop attaches to the arm. It gets hard to attach the hoop after awhile and the embroidery arm gets lose. Other then that work well, sews very nice

I had to come back and finish watching. I’ve never oiled my machine but I was taught all machines should go in for cleaning once a year even if you haven’t used it.

Great video Jess you are awesome thank you for all you do and for all the info and tips on the machine!!!! Seeing you work that machine makes me want to buy one lol Hugs Liz x

I kind of wanted this machine, now I really want one. Maybe a pre-owned one. 🤔

I have a Babylock Verve that only had a 4x4 hoop. I made great tees with flower logos for our Mother’s Day outing. But I want to make more in the hoop projects and it is too small for most. One project for back to school is a chapstick holder and it needs just a bit more space than I have. But I can embellish it first, then see it raw edges on the machine.
