4. The Brother SE400 is a top-notch computerized
embroidery and sewing machine. This machine is designed
to provide you with all the automated help you need to
convert your projects into highly customized, high-end
looks - at a convenient budget.
The SE400 offers a fantastic, full-range of sewing features,
with 67 sewing stiches and an impressive 98 stitching
functions. The machine is arguably your best bet if you are
looking for a computerized solution that’ll uplift your
ability to embellish home décor, clothing and gifts – with
its 4”x4” embroidery capabilities. There are scores of builtin embroidery designs and an in-built library of 70

5. decorative designs that you can choose from. Moreover,
this automated sewing and embroidery machine brings
you an impressive 120 frame pattern combinations, plus 5
lettering fonts. And here’s the best part, you’re not
‘limited’ to all this. You can go a step ahead to download
designs from your PC through the USB port.
While there are half a dozen or so sewing and embroidery
machines out there that make every seamstress’s dream,
the Brother SE400 is quite in a class of its own. You can get
started making your favourite clothing designs right from
day one. The intuitive LCD screen display, coupled with the
built-in tutorials and more importantly the quick start
guide, make up everything you need to jump right to it
whether or not you have extensive previous experience in
sewing.
If you are a sewer (beginner or advanced), a crafter or a
budding fashion design buff – the Brother SE400

6. Combination Computerized Sewing and 4x4 Embroidery
Machine is no doubt your number 1 tool-of-the-trade.
With your Brother SE400 purchase, you get a collection of
high-value accessories that will make your embroidery and
sewing not only easy but also fun! These include a 4”x4”
embroidery hoop, a soft cover, an embroidery arm,
accessory feet and an English/Spanish language manual.
You also get a USB cable, an accessory bag and an
embroidery bobbin thread. Manufacturer confidence also
gives you a 25 year warranty for this fantastic sewing and
embroidery machine. A lot of sewers have also expressed
satisfaction with the smooth fabric feeding, made possible
by the 7-point feed dogs.
Today, I find the Brother SE400 combination computerized
sewing and embroidery machine to be the most versatile
clothing designer’s aid available in the market. The wide
range of stitches and designs (plus more that can be easily
downloaded from the World Wide Web) makes this top

7. machine a favourite among many embroidery buffs. The
machine is also lightweight and super-easy to use, so you
don’t get to worry about working with a complicated
process-flow.
Although some users have expressed concerns about the
small (4”x4”) embroidery hoop, it’s definitely the best
you’ll get in the market. If you’re looking for the most
capable, affordable sewing and embroidery combination
machine to inspire your love for clothing and fabric
designs, the Brother SE400 is definitely your solution.
