I need to know if all embroidery machines are able to mirror designs, so I suppose I need to ask if anyone has a machine that can't.

My Bernina Artista 640 and the Deco 340 both mirrors their designs.

My Viking did before it quit working!!! Hahaha!
I am sure my Brother D. machine does, but I haven't tried to Mirror yet! I just mirror in my 4D software and put it on the card the way I want it. Something I have found out about my Brother is that if I want a design slightly more to the top of the hoop, and load it that way, it auto centers the design! So if I want it higher on the hoop, I have to put something else in the hoop area and not sew it. Funny, HUH??? Hugs, Judy

Mine does not do that or much of any thing else.

Yes, this auto centering of a design is wonderful (NOT). I usually change mine in editing. xx

Most machines auto-center (fortunately!), but those arrows in the edit function are there to let you place the design where-ever you want.

interesting I too thought they all could mirror :-)

My old Bernina which died last Dec, could not mirror.

babylock Ellegante and Babylock Ellisimo do also the Bernina 780 and 830 machines also

I think I'd better include both in the design pack, to be on the safe side.

I bought my first embroidery machine in 1992 ,a Brother Galaxy, and it could mirror. Every machine since then, including the simple Husqvarna Iris that does not even have a screen, so you are stitching blind, had a mirror function. I assumed every machine had that function and am amazed there are machines that haven't. Learned something new!

Interesting isn't it? I need to know if I need to include both versions of a design in a pack. It seems I do!

I had a Janome 5000 that didn't so my hubby spoiled me by buying my Quattro 6000D which does. I'm in heaven with this sewing machine.

My little Brother SE 270D does, and it's just a 4x4 design field.
