I'm having an issue with my brother pe800 bobbin stitch constantly showing on top. It works for a few orders and back to the bottom stitch showing on top😠
Ciera B I’m having the opposite problem mine is a loopy mess underneath no bob in thread at all I have adjusted up and dow until I can see some bobbin thread in bottom but mostly I’m still seeing top thread underneath what am I doing wrong
Oooooh you worked at CNN-no wonder you have a perfect video voice! Such a very helpful video, and so nicely done. I’ve been dithering back and forth for months but I am sold on this as my starter machine. Thank you!!
On the bottom right of the display screen there is a needle with a -/+ symbol. This allows you to go back or forward by individual stitches or whole spools. If my thread breaks I like to go back a couple stitches. Hope this helps!
I am super excited. When I first saw the PE800 I thought to myself I have to have it. My birthday was 3 days ago and what a surprise when the door bell rang it was my Beautiful machine. My husband and kids bought it for me. So far I've read the manual, watched videos and purchased enough thread for my project. I also own Brother sewing machine and I am very pleased with it. Thank you for all the information.
I've had the SE400 for years and just ordered the PE800. After doing my research your video was what made me decide to go with this model. Will still be using my SE400. I thought about the PE900 but just couldn't justify to myself spending over $400 more because it's wireless. Thanks for the video.
Thanks so much, Jennifer. I’ve had mine for 2 months, and I’m afraid to open the box!! But I have every possible accessory that I will need whenever I get the nerve to unbox and turn on.🤣 Please do more!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I am new to Embroidery and I want to make it a business! I just got my PE800. I’m soo excited about learning everything I can!...
Thanks Jen! I just purchased a PE800 and cannot wait to try it. I wanted to watch a few videos on how to use the machine and you covered everything in all your videos I wanted to know. I have a Brother sewing machine and this is very similar in threading the machine. Thank you for your videos and LOVE them!
Hey there! Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a nice note. First off, I'm jealous you have an F150 - I've always wanted to drive a pickup perhaps someday that will be a reality. I've personally had great experiences with Brother machines and they are one of the more affordable brands. I did not expect to be such an enthusiastic user of an embroidery machine, but unlike my Cricut Expression currently collecting dust, I am using the HELL out of the PE800. Need a quick gift? Embroider some cute designs or monograms on towels. Seriously, it has been my most used machine of the past 3 months.
@@SewingReport I have always loved the Brother sewing machines. I have used my mom's Singer machine from 50 years ago and that thing is a BEAST! I tried an updated and newer Singer and just hated it. The quality was terrible and the machine needed repairs after 3 months (I use my sewing machine daily). I went back to Brother and have never looked back. By the way...I LOVE my trucks! This is my 6th truck and once you drive a truck, you never go back to a car. Thank you again for the great videos!!
Compare the prices BEFORE purchasing! I was lucky enough to buy mine during Walmart’s ‘Pre-Black Friday’ Sale for $509.99! Can’t wait to start exploring this machine...look out close family members, you may get bombarded with embroidered gifts, ‘just because’, lol!
This was such an amazingly thought out and informative video! I was very interested in these embroidery machines and you’ve definitely sold me on this model!
I, too, had a Brother SE400 but too time consuming changing from sewing to embroidery. I thank you for doing this video and your comments on the PE800 which I have been considering. I belong to some military organizations and our members have asked who can embroidery names, titles, etc. on uniforms and hats and no one sewed. I have been sewing for years on and off but recently am drawn to this particular model. It's fun to make embroidered kitchen towels for gifts and cute embroidered tops and jeans and tees. I keep checking prices hoping to break down and purchase one of these...one day.
Keep an eye out on Amazon around Black Friday / holidays - last year there was a significant discount on the Brother PE800 and I almost regretted buying mine a few months earlier.
I learned on #4 of threading the bobbin, I put the empty bobbin on b4 winding, loop the thread around about 3 times, and use the thread cutter noted on #4 on the machine. No holding the thread!!! You probably figured this out already. Thanks for the video!
Thank you so much! Just received my PE 800 and I’m a bit nervous about beginning! Your video helped me to begin my embroidery journey. Let the fun begin!!
Thank you very much, for sharing this video! I bought this machine and was intimidated when I first opened it. I’ve never touched a sewing machine before. So I put it back in the box and let it sit there for weeks. Until today I came across your video and finally decided to give a try. Thanks a lot !
This was extremely helpful! I have a brother quilting machine and have been thinking about getting an embroidery machine, but I don’t want to break the bank buying one. I can’t wait to watch your other videos!
Super excited to finally use it, I got this machine it's been sitting in my garage due to my regular workload. Thank you so much for doing this video, super helpful and you are so easy to follow!
You worked on CNN that’s why you talk so amazing on camera! Lol that’s awesome! Thank you for the review on this machine 💕 I have a sewing/embroidery but I’ve been looking into only embroidery for a size update and now I’m excited 😅
No bThanks for your review of this nice machine. You helped me get over my fear of buying an embroidery machine. I look forward to seeing more of your videos too. God bless
Thank you for sharing this video!!! I was so on the fence with purchasing this machine. There were no videos that I could find on the internet to give me a good idea of how the machine works. I've seen ones for the older model but I wasn't interested in that. The screen looks bigger and it's in color. I don't have very good eye sight and I need something that I can see clearly. So again, thank you for this very informative video!
I love this, thank you. I want to get one to do business and your Video has given me confidence since am a beginner and have never used a sewing machine. Thank you so much. Will keep writing wen I get one . Am from Uganda-East Africa.
Thank you. Was hoping you would be running through changing colors in the design in the machine - so far I am just frustrated and trying to work my way through to totally understand and do it correctly.
Great review, considering purchasing for my wife and after seeing your video, I just may use it myself. lol, thanks again, great information, great video footage.
Thank you for sharing I’m searching for an embroidery machine to purchase just unsure which one after watching your video I’m really considering this Brother PE800
check out in the hoop projects. There are so many little zipper bags and projects you can make in the hoop. My embroidery machine can only do 4x4 designs so I am a bit limited but with your 5x7 you will have tons of options.
Thank you for creating these videos. I purchased my machine in September and I've hardly used it. I'm excited to learn more about the machine and it's features. My real struggle has beem properly hooping the material and interfacing. Any tips and tricks on tbat topic will be greatly appreciated. Pat
Enjoy that machine Pat! I've done quite a few videos with various projects and share how I hoop and which stabilizers I prefer. th-cam.com/play/PLDeCt6WqT8q3g1yaM_zXIPcvwtJcBplre.html
This video was very thorough in terms of terms of basic machine function but I was hoping to find out if it's difficult to guide the machine. If I need to turn the canvas for example and if the machine prompts me to do so.
Thank you for making this video PE800 , I am late to the party just starting of with the model Brother LB6800 and I purchased PED Basic card writer will give it a try and think about the model you discuss 😚🙌👌
I have a question rather than a comment, but as a comment I love your videos and lessons. I have been using my brother PE800 for about a year now, and I still can't seem to be able to embroidery t-shirts without having the material pull from the stitches. I lowered my tension to 1.2 even and it still pulls. I use cut away stabilizer that feels pretty thick. I know I am doing something wrong, can you please tell me what it is? TIA
Hi, just saw your great video! Question: Does it tell you when to change the thread color?I can't figure out how it does the designs with multi colors, like your flowers. Thank you in advance!
I just love your video you did a great job is making some one who was thinking about buying the machine to making a definite decision to buy this model.
So happy to hear you found it helpful! Buying a machine is a big decision and many of us like to do as much research as possible and check out reviews. Enjoy your embroidery machine!
I really hope you see this cause I need HELP :( I bought this and it just came the other day and I don't know how to add my own files from my usb because they're not saved with the right file? is there a software for Mac you record? I can't seem to find a software for man for the brother embroidery machine pe 800 :((
How do you change the density on a design that was downloaded onto the machine? It looked like that option was grayed out when you said you can change the density of the stitch
Hi Jen! I'm wanting to purchase a Brother Embroidery Machine. Do you have any tips or tricks to purchasing discounted sewing machines over the holiday season? How to find deals? Where to look? Thank you!
Your channel is very beautiful, thanks for what you provide. I have a question. I download the image to the flash from my computer, but when I put the flash on the machine, it does not appear. The image file appears empty
Thank you for this video. I had no idea that home embroidery only machines existed. While brother is not my go to machine for sewing and quilting. I think this PE 800 is just what I'm looking for to make monograms. The price seems right to me. Because I don't want to purchase features I already have on my Husqvarna Viking. Thanks again.
Hey Jennifer thank you for the video. Have you experience an error attach a needle plate cover when the plate cover is on. I can't seemed to clear the error.

I have had this machine sitting in a box for almost three years because I've been too intimidated to start. Thank you for giving me the push I needed!

I just unpacked this PE800 and was so grateful for your video! Thanks...I’m going to watch more before stitching my first ever embroidered item!
Glad it was helpful!

The price dropped drastically after I bought mine, so I can't agree more.

Thank you. I just purchased a Brother SE1900 3 weeks ago, and you hit all of my questions. I feel ready now. Thanks again.
Really fun to get into embroidery - glad you enjoyed it!
Hello which one is the better: Brother SE1900 or pe800 that port with usb.
Excellent tutorial. So clear and easy to follow. Your speaking voice is really nice; calming and soothing.

Does the PE800 embroidery machine show the picture and color chart for purchased embroidery patterns?
Just got my machine and learning. Thank you for your knowledge
Thanks to this machine, I was able to make close to $48,000 during this pandemic lockdown. 🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️👌🏾
Does beep for you when to change the threads to a different color or do you have to keep an eye on it?
I have to buy this machine. I love my Brother Sewing Machine

8:15 When you change the colors, does the machine automatically go back to where it was in the design? You don't have to manually adjust anything?
This is amazing. Thanks so much for making this!
I kept forgetting i was watching a sewing video and zoned into the sound of your voice and visioned a new story report 😂
This video was very thorough in terms of terms of basic machine function but I was hoping to find out if it's difficult to guide the machine. If I need to turn the canvas for example and if the machine prompts me to do so.
Thanks and keep sharing more projects of this amazing combo machine.

Thank you so much Kelley - appreciate you watching!!!
great and helpful video!!!
Thank you much I have question plz can I use any pic I can print from the computer or not?
Hello fantastic video! How does the custom designs work? I mean if I drew my own design, scanned it, and put it on the usb how would that work?
This video is very helpful!!

Thank you for the how to video! I am looking at a floor model from a local dealer (about $450). We are looking to expand our home business...
Thanks for this review I just purchased one.
Love the video!! what format are your own designs for the machine to recognize them as something to make?
I do a lot of detailed embroidery for the PE800. What needles do you use or recommend?
Great video, just what I needed. I’m so excited to start. Thank you😃😍
Hi Jen.
How would you make quilt labels on this machine seems like I can only put three letters on one line🤔

What is the life of this machine? How many years has it lasted you and do you still use it? Would you review the poolin vs the brother?
I really hope you see this cause I need HELP :(
I bought this and it just came the other day and I don't know how to add my own files from my usb because they're not saved with the right file? is there a software for Mac you record? I can't seem to find a software for man for the brother embroidery machine pe 800 :((
cant wait to try ! ❤
So helpful! Thank you!
Wow I'm definitely going to get this...great tutorial that's for sure
Hello! Can u plz tell me that on all types of fabric including net, organza, velvet silk we can do embroidery by brother PE800.
What kind of thread I need for this and wondering how to transfer you own design to be able to used it on the machine
Do you need to change your bobbin every time to match the top thread?
How do you change the density on a design that was downloaded onto the machine? It looked like that option was grayed out when you said you can change the density of the stitch
Hi Jen! I'm wanting to purchase a Brother Embroidery Machine. Do you have any tips or tricks to purchasing discounted sewing machines over the holiday season? How to find deals? Where to look? Thank you!
Great tutorial! Can you embroider caps with the machine?
Great machine great video. Thanks
Your channel is very beautiful, thanks for what you provide. I have a question. I download the image to the flash from my computer, but when I put the flash on the machine, it does not appear. The image file appears empty
Love this!!!
I notices the 🚫 sign, should I be worried about that? Thanks for sharing, gives me more hope to getting one soon. ☺ love to hear back. Thank you.
You are so helpful.thank you.
Thank you Jane for stopping over here!
Thank you for this video. I had no idea that home embroidery only machines existed. While brother is not my go to machine for sewing and quilting. I think this PE 800 is just what I'm looking for to make monograms. The price seems right to me. Because I don't want to purchase features I already have on my Husqvarna Viking. Thanks again.
Can I use it as ordinary sewing machine and embroidery option both?
Have u ever used a thread stand? They sell them on Amazon and I’ve heard it makes ur thread changing easier?
Hey just wondering is it possible to have a picture let’s say in your phone and put it on the machine to have it stitched out or how does that work ?
Can u use the pe design plus for photos
I purchased the Embroidex kit...is there a thread color conversion chart?
Thanks! Great video! I feel exactly the same, didn't think i needed one.
Hey Jennifer thank you for the video. Have you experience an error attach a needle plate cover when the plate cover is on. I can't seemed to clear the error.
Sorry, no I haven't run into that.
