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.

pattern and transfering it to my machine, I’ve read looked

Forgot to give my name.
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!
