Yep, I picked up a new embroidery-only sewing machine – the Brother PE800. This one cost a bit more than the PE770, but had upgraded features like a color touch screen. With an Amazon e-coupon, I paid $650 for it, and purchased an embroidery starter kit. Here’s a look at the unboxing and figuring out how to use it for the first time.
So far, the performance and ease of use has been good – I’ll keep you posted. The tension did have to be adjusted, and I loosened the bobbin tension by a 90 degree counter-clockwise turn and switched the upper thread tension to 2.0. This was on quilting cotton, so test out scrap fabric and play with the settings before embroidering your final design.
Excited to dive into the world of embroidery – feel free to share any tips below or requests for future videos on the Brother PE800!
