Brother PE770 Embroidery Sewing Machine
This is my first embroidery machine, and my first Brother sewing machine, even though I've been sewing for nearly 50 years. My husband says I've sewn more miles of thread than he's driven as a truck driver. I've become a DIY person over the years because the quality of things you can buy just never quite meets my expectations. Even custom ordered items fall short in some way. I often find myself saying, "I wouldn't have done it like that." So when we decided to redecorate the salon and staterooms of our boat, there was no question we'd do it ourselves. That upholstery job grew into also replacing the upholstery on the seats on the flybridge. We wanted the finished product to have a truly custom, signature look. So, I did a lot of research about embroidery machines and embroidering on vinyl, and all paths led me to the features that this machine offers. From ease of use to reliability, and quality for the price, everything I read pointed to the Brother PE770, and I was not disappointed. I opened the box, followed the instructions for threading and fabric set up, simply selected one of the pre-loaded patterns and pushed the button. I was amazed at how simple it was to use. Even changing colors is a breeze with the simplicity of threading the machine, needle threader (that actually works on this machine!) and the automatic thread cutter. Downloading our selected design and transferring it to the machine via flash drive couldn't have been easier. When I read these reviews, I just had to write one about my experience since I didn't have ANY of these problems listed here. But, again, I took my time to follow through all of the directions carefully, used quality materials to start with, and didn't take any short cuts. Doing things right always seems to pays off! Our vinyl seats now bear a compas logo, which ties in with the interior design, plus the name of our boat, in beautiful embroidery. You can't get any more custom than that. Plus it is exactly how we envisioned it would look, and meets our high quality standards. Thank you Brother for such a great experience!
