More from this brandAll Brother embroidery machinesOverview
Not a general sewing machine: this single-needle unit only embroiders, taking its designs from the required Artspira mobile app over Bluetooth. A magnetic frame holds the fabric in the stitching field, and a starter kit of thread, backing and tools ships with it.
Small and app-driven, the Skitch arrives with what a first project needs, from a frame to thread and felt. Everything runs through a phone or tablet running Artspira, so there is no screen on the machine to rely on. The limitation is the modest stitching field, which suits patches and small motifs.
Who it's for
A beginner with a phone or tablet who wants patches, labels or small motifs on felt and fabric. Look elsewhere if you plan large designs or want a unit that works standalone.
Pros and cons
- Single needle embroidery
- Bluetooth link to the app
- Starter supplies included
- Magnetic frame included
- Requires the Artspira mobile app
- Small stitching field
- Corded power only
- Stitch speed not listed
Performance notes
The phone app sends designs over Bluetooth and the single needle stitches them inside the magnetic frame, so results depend on the fabric being held flat. Backing material under the fabric stops dense stitching from puckering. Thread type and needle choice also change how the design looks.
