PE900 Embroidery Machine with WLAN

As someone who’s fairly new to machine embroidery, the Brother PE800 made the learning curve feel so much smoother. The setup was genuinely plug and play. I had it threaded and stitching my first design in less than 30 minutes out of the box! ✅ Pros: Super beginner-friendly interface: The touchscreen is intuitive and easy to navigate, great for people who aren't super techy. Built-in designs + USB port: The built-in library is generous, and importing your own designs is super simple with the USB function. Great stitch quality: Clean, consistent stitches even on intricate patterns. Solid construction: It feels sturdy and reliable, not flimsy like some lower-end models. ❌ Cons (and mild quirks): It only embroiders (not a sewing/embroidery combo), so be sure you don’t need general sewing features. The hoop size is capped at 5” x 7”—great for most projects, but it might feel limiting if you plan to go big. You might be better off investing in a machine with a bigger hoop if you're serious about embroidery. The included designs are truthfully a bit dated in style, so you’ll likely want to bring in your own via USB.

Love my 1st embroidery machine! Having so much fun and learning new techniques.

I hesitantly bought this machine after reading some of the negative reviews. I am not new to embroidery and wanted to upgrade my machine. I didn't have a ton to spend, but wanted something that met my needs. I do embroidery and sewing as a hobby and a side job. I don't work or am not affiliated with Brother. That said, I have already completed 9 items on this machine. I am so grateful I bought it. 1. I always stick to brother. I currently have 5 brother machines in my place. Some I've had for 10 years or more. I have both manual and computerized and all of them still work perfectly. Brother makes solid merchandise. 2. The complaints about tension, upgrades, etc. didn't apply to me. I didn't mess with the tension and the machine worked immediately out of the box. Read the instructions, seriously. 3. The threading and bobbin situation is almost identical to my other brothers. They're not difficult at all, maybe confusing for a beginner at first, but once you get it you get it. 4. I was hearing a ton of negativity about artspira. I tried it. I love it. Yeah, there's a bit of a learning curve, but it's totally possible to learn by trying. I can print pictures of my kids on tees. That's cool. Also, my grandson can draw me a picture and I can embroider it and keep it forever. It's seriously cool. It's auto digitizing but you do have some control. Plus, it's fun. I don't get why so many are saying such negative things about it, it's neat. I get why they didn't put it on a computer, likely because people could be saving all the files to a USB and making money off that. It's 12.99/month digitizing, enjoy what you get. If you want free, use inkstitch. To me, inkstitch has been a nightmare and this is much easier. A project I got okay on inkstitch after a ton of work, I just uploaded to artspira and it did it with zero effort. It was awesome. I could have kicked myself for not getting this sooner. 5. The embroidery machine is a bit loud. To me, I don't believe that to be a problem, granted I've only owned Brother machines. This machine is quieter than my other one, and that one has over 10,000,000 stitches on it and works perfectly. I just wanted the new machine to cut jump stitches and to be computerized. It works perfectly. This machine is incredible. Honestly, if you've done embroidery before, you'll love it. If you haven't, yes, there's a learning curve, but stick with it, read directions, and enjoy. It's so worth it.

Easy to use and good value. Size is easy to take along. Clean look. No sharp edges. Functions as described.

Great little machine. I do not regret buying it. Thinking about buying another one with the 5x12 hoop. Sews free standing lace beautifully.

Just ordered the Brother PE900. It arrived yesterday but already returned it today for a full refund. It arrived quickly with no damage. It was packaged well from the factory. I already own 4 Brother sewing machines, as well as a PE 535 and a Brother 550 D embroidery machine. All my previous. Brother purchases have been quality machines that give me excellent service. My oldest machine is nearly 15 years old and still runs as good as the day I purchased it. However quality control is slipping. My brand new Brother PE900 was defective and completely inoperable. First the needle threader did not work. So I hand thread the needle. Placed my project(a simple kitchen towel) in the hoop and started my design. Within 3 or 4 stitches the machine jammed and pulled the fabric into the throat plate, tearing a quarter inch hole in my fabric. Then the carriage made a violent fish tail motion. Then the motor made a very loud clunking sound and it was all over. I JUST PURCHASED A $1200 LEMON!!! I was so very dissapoibted in Brother. A machine with even one defect should never leave the factory let alone a machine with multiple issues!!! I am very angry and frustrated to be put thru this anguish and needless inconvenience of a return, a refund and finally a second inconvenience of ordering and then waiting once again for a second machine!!!But inspite of all that, I still say Amazon and Brother are good companies. It was my bad luck to receive a defective product. I love the Brother PE900. I have waited years and years to afford to step up and own such a fine machine. SO once again I will patiently wait fir the eventual arrival of a new machine with no defects.

Although these machines look and function pretty much identically to the pe800 the biggest upgrade I have found is one I never knew mattered. WIFI!!!! Both the pe800 and 900 have built in designs and a slot for a USB but I had NO IDEA that having WiFi would make such a difference for me. I’m able to work on graphics sitting w my family in the evening and zap it to the machine to make the next morning. Yes, throwing a file on a flash drive isn’t exactly hard, and you do still have that option… but I LOVE the WiFi feature!! When you are setting the machine up be sure to go thru the machine’s settings and name your machine before you try installing any of the software otherwise it can’t recognize your machine on the network. If it doesn’t recognize your machine you can’t use the WiFi feature. The 900 seems to be extra sensitive. Some files that I had to go thru and bold the lines to make them sew nice and visible for my 800, I’m now having to go thru and thin the lines out again or they are WAY too heavy and dark sewing them on the 900. So that’s a bit of a PITB! If you digitize your own files make sure your graphics are CLEAN cuz it picks up every stray pixel!!! But the bobbins, hoops, bobbin cases are all interchangeable and the rest seems to function the same. It reads .pes files. I’m happy with it!! And this is a SCREAMING DEAL!

Worked great when it worked, but only had it working for the first few uses. Tension was messed up and could not get working

Hasta el momento satisfecho con mi compra, borda muy bien, se pueden pasar diseños por medio de usb, he probado en distintos tipos de tela, y sin problema.

I have had this embroidery machine for over a year and it is by far the worst thing I have ever purchased from brother. Within the first three months the needle threader broke so I had to thread it by hand not a big deal then shirts would get caught in the machine because thread would bunch up on the inside of the shirt and that thread would get caught in the hole the needle goes in to pull the bobbin thread up I would then have to CUT the shirt to get it out. I have a business and people give me their clothes to embroider so I have ruined other people's clothes because this embroidery machine is so cheaply made. I now have to use my sewing machine to put thread on the bobbin because guess what that broke to! I understand this is not a high end embroidery machine but nothing that cost this much money should break this easily and so often I have lost more money then I have made with this thin. If you have a business or you just want to get into embroidery save your money and buy something that's not whatever this thing is.

Llegó en su empaque original, muy bien. Es la primera bordadora que uso y me gustó que el manual viene muy detallado. Incluye un carrete, algunas bobinas y varias cosas más para que puedar bordar de inmediato. Me va a tomar unos meses aprender a usarla al 100% pero Muy Recomendable.

Me encanto el producto excelente calidad lo que yo esperaba, me llego muy rápido y en este momento estoy haciendo un bordado de prueba y de verdad es excelente, lo recomiendo ampliamente

Muy versátil y puedes explotar tu creatividad si consigues el software para crear diseños originales!!
