Brother PE770 — A Computerized Embroidery Machine with Versatile Stitching Designs
The Brother PE770 model is limited to embroidery but provides the majority of functions the beginner embroidered needs. It features multiple patterns and fonts in its inner memory, which is easy to access via the LCD screen. There’s also a USB port for connecting to a computer or inserting a flash drive to expand the font and pattern selection.
The machine features a limited number of needle positions and lacks precise speed control options that are usually present in more expensive models. However, it provides convenient options like a built-in light and pattern rotation, and thus, lets combine and modify various patterns. Find out more in this Brother PE770 review!
