I HAVE BEEN VERY NAUGHTY
Took my Brother PE 150 to my little man yesterday after having major jam up, he is charging £10.00 to look at it and see what the damage is.
So I came home and looked on the net at Embroidery machines I wanted one to just do slightly bigger than 4x4 also which I could still use the PE BASIC that I have just bought and not had a chance to use yet.
It takes memory card and also usb stick so best of both so I have just bought
'Brother Innov-is 750E Embroidery Sewing Machine
I found a place selling it £200.00 cheaper than any one else it's classed as an
A Grade machine, does any one know what this means? my husband thinks it is machines that have a slight scratch on them or have been on display in the shop
Also if any one can give me any do's or don't s for this machine it would be much appreciated. I can't wait for it to arrive
Not sure what I will do with the one in for repair guess depends how much it cost's to mend it, husband says for what I would get for it to keep it

This is a factory refurbished machine should be like new and still be guaranteed.

the 750 is an embroidery ONLY machine with a 5 x 7 hoop. It's a work horse. xx
Do you think I have made the right choice? I was after a reliable embroidery machine that would sew designs 4x4 and 5x7 for mainly tee shirts and for cards and small picture frames

I had an Australian 750D & loved it. I assume it's similar to your 750E. Only sold him cause I upgraded. I put almost 9 million stitches on him in 12 months. He had no problems with thick towels to fine fsl. A real work horse, I was sad to see him go. I am on my 4th Brother machine (upgraded each time) and will always stay with Brother. Hope this helps. Lyn. xx

PS - I agree with your Hubby. Keep the other one. It's great to have a back up. xx
I now have a 4000 and kept my very first 900 as back up.

Thank's once again for your quick replies this forum is just great for answering questions so quickly
I wasn't sure what machine to go for, don't think I would use it for very large designs I think the 5x7 will be big enough just wanted a reliable machine
I read some where that I should use bobbin thread count (90) does any one know best place where to buy this from here in the UK? and what make of embroidery thread is the best to use for the 'Brother Innov-is 750E?

I don't know about the UK, but I always use the bobbin thread, or it's also called "lingerie" thread, the 90 wt. It keeps the designs more supple, and also you can get much more on the bobbin, more stitches before it runs out.
Thanks for the info to be save after jamming up my Brother pe150 I have ordered bobbin thread from Brother i'M a bit paranoid now as I think it might be using wrong bobbin thread that jammed up the machine

My first machine was the 750D (which has Disney - and the E would not). It is a very nice machine - I did nearly 4 million stitches on it in a year. I did keep it as a backup - they don't give you much on trade in and I did not have any luck trying to sell it for a reasonable price on Craigs List so now I have two!

I'm thinking I will keep mine and have two if it CAN BE MENDED

I have that one. I too wanted a bigger hoop. got it off of ebay new still boxed at a fantastic price.
very pleased with it. no directed link to computer, but it takes a usb stick. and cards,it takes all the pes files that I had for my little 4x4, I can not change the speed, or the tention but that has not been a problem so far.
Hugs Pam.

I have a Janome MC 350E and that brother machine. I love the brother cause she never desert you (and the Janome is a real diva with much attitude!). To change the bobbin is so much easier on the brother even the thread. On the other hand the display is coarse-grained in comparision to the Janome (like watching pac-man vs. World of warcraft ;o). Most of the time I have my embird on my screen open so I can see which color comes next. The connection between hoop and machine is fantastic (the Janome is just fixed at a single point; bad if you have to take the hoop off and back again). So enjoy this machine you will have much fun with it :o)

Congratulations on making Santa's 'Naughty List' LOL. Glad to hear you have an encouraging husband who is happy for you to keep the other. He knows how to stay in favour :) Enjoy your new toy when it arrives.

It is always nice to have a back-up machine or just an extra so you do not have to remove the embroidery unit! Congratulations on your new "baby." What are you going to name "her?" :>)

CONGRATULATIONS on the new machine - I think it is great that you have a good repairman and I also think you should keep both machines - it is always nice to have a second to do whatever you want - when one is on a big design that takes some time. Have fun and please share some items you have made in the PROJECT section soon.
