Reason for embroidery arm positioning,
By A Customer
This review is from: Brother PE-400D Combination Sewing and Embroidery Machine (Kitchen)
A previous reviewer left a comment that the hoop is on the wrong side. There is a valid reason for this. Unlike her PE-150, this machine is also a sewing machine. In order for this machine to function as a sewing machine, the embroidery arm has to be removable (so it is on the left side). If it was on the other side, it would be in the way for sewing.The other major advantage of the PE-400D over the 150 (besides being able to sew), is that it is able to read and use the Disney Brother cards. These cards can only be used by Disney Brother machines.

Great Little Machine! LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!,
This review is from: Brother PE-400D Combination Sewing and Embroidery Machine (Kitchen)
I've had the Brother PE 400D for a bit over a year now. It is a great little machine. I have NEVER had any needle breaking issues. I'm not sure if the writer of the previos post with that issue was using the correct needle (you need to use an embroidery needle with the embroidery presser foot for embroidery, and you must usse a sewing needle, and coordinating presser foot for general sewing).
The embroidery comes out wonderful. The Winnie the Pooh embroidery patterns that are included are adorable, there are also plenty of pre-set stitches, different lettering fonts, etc. You can also purchase additional Brother memory cards of numerous subjects: Holidays, Animals, Flowers, etc. Once you get more familiar with embroidery, you may want to purchase the Brother PED-Basic which allows you to download FREE embroidery patterns from the internet, copy them onto a memory card (included) and then place that memory card into your Brother PE-400D. There are MANY things you can do with this great little machine. This machine is very easy to use. It is my first embroidery/sewing machine combo and I love the touch pad screen. This machine also comes with a DVD instructional video which is very helpful.

Great Machine,
By Amy (Nashville) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Brother PE-400D Combination Sewing and Embroidery Machine (Kitchen)
I purchased this machine a couple of years ago after hours of endless research! I have not been disappointed-- it is a wonderful machine, but I am now looking to upgrade to a bigger embroidery area. This machine has a 4 x 4 area which is fine unless you are monogramming a long name. I also purchased the extra large hoop to use which eliminated the need to keep rehooping. The cards are a bit pricey-- but the No. 1 Alphabet card is a must. The sewing machine also works great! The machine is tiny and lightwieght, but don't let it fool you! It is solid! A very good buy if you are looking to do both sewing and embroidery projects around the house.
