How to Get to the Home Screen

By KAMALA in Questions & Answers •

Brother SE400 Control Panel Showing Embroidery(Home) KeyYou can quickly get to the home screen from any screen by pressing the Embroidery key on the Control Panel. The icon looks like a hoop with a flower in it. I’ve circled this key in red in the photo on the right.

Brother calls this key the “Embroidery Key” in the Operation Manual because you press it to get to the embroidery home screen to start embroidering.

Use this key to get to the home screen for the Brother SE400, SE350, LB6800PRW, PE500, and similar machines.

Note: For the Brother PE500, the key is at the top of the right column because there are no sewing functions and therefore, no sewing home key.

    My Brother SE400 will not allow me to use push button sewing. I am getting the message “change the speed control mode to off” I see nothing in the manual on how to do this. Help please!

      Hi Lynn, It’s often difficult to find things in the manual. Look on page 159, error message number 3. Hope this helps. Kamala

Welcome to my BrotherSE400 Blog

Kamala Kelly, Brother SE400 EnthusiastHi, I'm Kamala. I love all the textile arts and started making my own clothes when a young child. As an embroidery machine, the Brother SE400 was my first love, and I started this website to share my experiences, discoveries, and also to provide reviews on anything related to the Brother SE400.

My goal is to help you avoid the time and confusion I went through when choosing my first embroidery machine.
