A 172 page manual describing the Brother SE400 and how to use all the various functions: Getting Ready, Sewing Basics, Utility Stitches, and Embroidery.

This manual describes how to use the USB port and cable to connect the SE400 to your computer; how to import embroidery designs into the SE400 from the computer; and how to use a computer to upgrade the SE400’s software.
From top to end I didn’t see any link to SE400 service manual. Is this web site a scam?
This site is not a scam. But it’s not an official Brother site. I’m just a happy Brother SE300 owner trying to help other users. I give you direct links to the three customer manuals Brother provides. I don’t know know anything about a service manual. I’ve never needed one. Kamala
Hi
Sorry for my poor english.
My wife has a SE400 with a problem: tissue “tracking” speed may be correct or not. Sometime it doesn’t move at all.
I unmount the SE400 and saw motor doesn’t place correctly the gear for speed traction but … I don’t understand how it can know where is the limit (no visible limit switch). So, when you change speed you can see the motor running to place the gear but it stop randomly.
The only “solution” I found is to set minimum-maximum-reverse !
Can someone help me ?
Regards
Hi I am looking for a printable version of the users manual for my PE Design Basic.
Gostaria de saber na opiniao das bordadeiras brother se o cartao de memoria é realmente um item indispensavel, uma vez que existe o cabo USB para transportar o bordado. Achei um pouco caro e nao gostaria de fazer um investimento em algo que eu talvez nao venha a usa-lo de fato.
Obrigada Denise
Boa noite, comprei uma brother ja usada , que esta funcionando perfeitamente. Contudo ela veio faltando alguns itens e um deles é o manual . neste post nao consegui visualizar o link para baixar .Gostaria de contar com ajuda das admiradoras dessa maquina maravilohosa e da arte do bordado.
Atenciosamente Denise
This is a very informative site.
Thank you,

Does anyone know the proper bobbin type and bobbin thread weight for this machine? I looked it up and saw to get type L bobbins for pre-wound with 60 weight thread. I recently took my machine in because the tension seems wrong because the bobbin thread is showing thru my design. They said I am using the wrong bobbin and thread weight. I have used easily a 1,000 bobbins and this just started.
