Brother PE780-D

Whether you already have a machine or are looking to get one, the first question I usually get asked is what machine do I own?

Currently, I own the PE780D. In my opinion, this is an awesome starter machine. I have never sewed or appliqued before owning this machine so I did some research before going to my local dealer to purchase. First piece of advice I read was- Purchase a machine that has at least a 5"x7" hoop size. I couldn't agree more. I RARELY use my 4"x4" hoop to applique. Mainly I use that smaller hoop to embroider names, applique burp cloths or applique tiny newborn onesies.

If you happened to purchase your machine online, you probably need a little help to figure out how to use it. The user manual does have most of this information in it. Incase you need even more visuals, hopefully the series of blog posts I am working on will help! Stay tuned for some tutorials to be posted later this week on this machine! :)
