    Amazing machine to start with!
    As a beginner, this machine has been an excellent machine to start with! Although it only has a 4x4 hoop, I basically take multiple 4x4 designs and build one big design. I'm JUST learning how to embroider so with these being just my first 3 projects I don't think I did too bad, but I'm still very new and learning. They were just for family (: The 49ers lettering was an applique with heat vinyl. Never had an issue. I just got an embroidery software to help with making my own lettering so that's been very helpful as the machine fonts are pretty limited. I will say, if you are just thinking of embroidering and haven't gotten a machine, make sure you research. I researched for a month before I even bought my machine. It's still not perfect, but I'm glad I have the knowledge. Practice makes perfect! You need to learn about centering, stabilizers, needles (ball point has been great), tension, hooping, bobbins, etc. Happy Embroidering!

Very very happy.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Great entry-level embroidery Machine
    Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2020
    If you want to learn machine embroidery without spending a ton of money, this is your machine. It’s modestly priced and relatively small, for this type of machine. So if space is a limiting factor, this is also a good choice.

    Things to know;
    1) This is a embroidery-only machine. It does not do regular sewing.
    2) If you want to do regular sewing as well, you either need a separate sewing machine (which I already have) or a combo machine. Brother makes a number of these, and some are available on Amazon.
    3) It has a number of designs and alphabets installed in its memory, but you are not limited to those.

    Things you will need;
    1) Embroidery thread- you can buy packaged sets or individual spools.
    2) Extra needles. It comes with a couple, but machine embroidery can wear out needles faster than regular sewing does.
    3) Stabilizer- this is a sheet that goes behind your fabric to keep it from puckering under all those stitches.
    4) USB stick- to bring designs from your computer over to the machine.
    5) Software to digitize & edit images. This is not absolutely necessary, but expands what you can do.

    I didn’t have trouble following the directions for the machine at all. I did have a little difficulty learning to use the threader; it takes a bit of practice. I did some trial pieces to get the feel for placing and sizing designs and got some good results quickly. (See pics.).

    The only minor issues are that there is no onboard storage for little things like spool caps and that the included dust cover is flimsy. I sewed my own, as you can see.
