Our take on the Brother SE400

The Brother SE400 is a computerized sewing and embroidery machine in one unit. It has 67 built-in sewing stitches, 70 built-in embroidery designs and a 4 x 4 inch embroidery area, with an LCD screen, automatic needle threader, auto thread cutter and one-step buttonhole. It suits beginners and hobbyists who want to try machine embroidery without buying a separate embroidery machine. Against pricier Brother embroidery models, the small hoop and lack of automatic tension or presser-foot lift are the main limits, but owners consistently call it easy to learn and reliable for small projects.
