My First Brother SE400 Video And Embroidery

By KAMALA in Videos •

When I got my Brother SE400, it had so many functions and features that I was a little bit overwhelmed. So I wanted to start with the easiest, simplest possible thing just to try out the embroidery.

I decided to start with one of the built-in designs – the large, fancy initial “A”. A for Audrey, the name of my baby grandniece. I choose the easiest fabric I could think of – a medium weight, cotton twill – that would be easy to hoop, not too heavy and not stretchy. I used Sulky Soft ‘n Sheer, cut-away lightweight stabilizer behind the fabric and hooped both of them.

This video of that first embroidery shows how to select the pattern and stitch it out. The embroidery came out very well. But there’s a lot more to learn.

This is also my first video about my new Brother SE400 Sewing and Embroidery machine. I shot it with my iPhone 4s and edited it with iMovie on the iMac. Amazing how good the iPhone camera is now.

I hope you enjoy it.

    I just got the brother embroidery machine that I always wanted. Now that I have it i am overwhelmed, I am afraid of breaking it. There seems like I will not be able to use it. Feel like I need to return it. Sometimes I am very thick headed with directions. Better at seeing someone else using it. Please help me get over this.

    When embroidering, the feed-dogs must be down! I messed up on an embroidery pattern by not making certain about these! Love your video and enjoy having this particular machine to do my embroidery on! Thank you sew much!

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.
