Overview
Brother SE700 combines sewing and embroidery in one computerized machine with a 4x4 inch hoop, 135 built-in embroidery designs, 103 stitches and wireless transfer via the Artspira app. Suits people who want to start both hobbies without buying two machines.
This is Brother's step up from a plain sewing machine into embroidery, and the appeal is doing both without owning two separate units. The 4x4 hoop is on the small side for anyone eyeing larger designs later, and wireless transfer depends on the free software or the Artspira app rather than a plug-and-go cable setup.
- 135 built-in embroidery designs, 10 lettering fonts
- 103 built-in stitches including 10 auto buttonholes
- 3.7 inch color touchscreen
- Wireless design transfer via Artspira app or USB
Who it's for
Fits someone starting sewing and embroidery together, including gift makers doing monogrammed items or small home decor. Not the machine for anyone who already outgrew a 4x4 hoop or needs an all-metal industrial frame.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Buyers who got a working unit praised the auto threader, one-touch thread cutter and the Artspira app for building custom designs, with several saying it beats a no-frills beginner machine. The one clear complaint came from a buyer whose machine arrived with a bent presser foot holder and a needle that broke on the first attempt, plus a frustrating support experience afterward.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Sews and embroiders on one machine
- Auto needle threader speeds up setup
- Touchscreen previews designs before stitching
- Artspira app adds custom pattern transfer
- 4x4 inch hoop limits embroidery size
- Learning curve for first-time wireless setup
- At least one buyer received a unit with a bent presser foot holder
Performance notes
The auto needle threader and one-push thread cutter come up repeatedly as what makes daily use faster, and the touchscreen lets you preview a design before committing thread to fabric. Wireless design transfer runs through the Artspira app or the Design Database Transfer software rather than a simple cable-only workflow, so most people watch a setup video before first use.
