Oh great. Now the wife wants one of these. Santa Claus is going to be BROKE this December LOL

[@FamilyUnit]

What a GREAT gift! She’s going to love it.

[@Bio-D]

Wow!! That's a nice machine. The jump stitches from the back is a big improvement. Nice work.

[@FamilyUnit]

We agree that not having to trim thread from the front is a huge improvement.

[@admtim]

Wow! That looks amazing! We need one of these in our studio. Imagine the cool shirts we can create 😵‍💫

[@FamilyUnit]

Its an amazing machine and we’ve only scratched the surface.

[@caitlin7918]

Great for making different college logos on different pieces of clothing!! Awesome tool!

[@FamilyUnit]

Thanks! Would make a great gift for a college student.

[@1kimmerjo]

I went and bought this machine since I was new to embroidery. What a great experience, it works just as you demonstrated. I absolutely love this machine!!!! My next purchase is the magnetic hoop...lol

[@FamilyUnit]

Wonderful! We just moved and mine has been packed away for a bit. I’m excited to unpack it and have some fun.

[@teresasperr4293]

Best overview of any Brother sewing or embroidery machine I've ever watched. Massive kudos.

[@FamilyUnit]

Thank you 😊

[@valentinamachon2187]

Hi just saw your channel about Brother SE2000, besides the LAN capability, does it also have USB port? I wanted to buy this after watching your video.

[@grantwilson9308]

Such a versatile machine! Crazy how much you’re able to do in your own home on a single machine!

[@FamilyUnit]

So true!

[@GiveThemWell]

I spy our logo! That means our SHIRTS are coming soon❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉 excellent overview as always

[@FamilyUnit]

We are so excited with how they turned out. You're going to LOVE them.

[@johnwalker5159]

I hope you are sponsored by Brother because this video is terrific

[@FamilyUnit]

[@denitaanders7095]

Thank u so very much for going thru how to work this machine. I Love it!!! This video was so easy to follow. Step by step. Again, thank you

[@FamilyUnit]

You’re welcome! Glad it was helpful.

[@paigemeckley346]

This video is incredible. I really love the Brother company so this looks awesome. Gosh this would’ve been so awesome to have in college because we were ALWAYS making shirts 😂

[@FamilyUnit]

Thanks for watching. It’s a lot of fun and there are so many things you can make with it.

[@Kathleen58]

This looks awesome, I would love to have this machine.

[@FamilyUnit]

It’s an awesome machine and pretty easy to use. 🙂

[@wendymasters367]

I work for a small retail shop and for what my boss spends on embroidery for shirts every year we could probably buy one of these

[@FamilyUnit]

Very true. The SE2000 pretty easy to use.

[@realsnacky]

Excellent review.

[@FamilyUnit]

Thank you

Thank you for making this video. I am a beginner and have been struggling to find a video that goes over attaching the embroidery presser

Glad it was helpful!

[@johnwisdom3964]

very informative video

[@FamilyUnit]

Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching.

[@susanbutler3494]

Wow! I'm sold for that price. I bought a computerized Singer HD about a year ago and have been so disappointed with it. Does not do what it says. I had looked at several of the Brother machines. On my wish list now for sure!

[@FamilyUnit]

This is a fantastic machine and easy to use. I’m enjoying it.

[@denisemoten7638]

Thank you for this video! What other hoops are compatible with this machine other than the one it comes with?

[@FamilyUnit]

Hi - I love this magnetic hoop and use it over the one that comes with the machine all the time. amzn.to/3LDG7MW (affiliate link). 🙂

[@FreshandFelicia]

Wow @brothersewing

[@FamilyUnit]

😊

[@girlgeekFL]

Love the jump stitch feature as well as the wireless connectivity. But....I wish they would have done a slide in hoop instead of the clunky way it's done. I have a se1900 and easily 50% of the time the hoop won't engage with the embroidery arm.

[@FamilyUnit]

That would be an improvement. I the jump stitch feature is so nice and a timesaver.

[@arfanahmad4943]

Thanks for the detailed overview. I'm already a happy customer of Zdigitizing!

[@FamilyUnit]

They are amazing!!

[@americancomputercare]

I can’t believe you do something on a phone and an embroidered it

[@FamilyUnit]

It is pretty cool.

[@randyc8171]

Using the horizontal spool pin for that spool of 60wt bobbin thread makes the thread twist as it pulls off. You need to take thread off that spool from the side so it will not twist.

[@FamilyUnit]

Thanks for the tip.

[@MattsGrandmother]

thanks. Waiting to hear if my 1900 can be repaired or not, so have one of these on my list to grab if it can’t. Question - is the embroidery unit of the 1900 the same size as the one for the 2000? Because IF it is, then I think my huge Westalee Sew Steady Wish Table (for quilting) will fit. (Custom to the 1900) -

[@FamilyUnit]

Yes. The 1900 and 2000 using a 5x7 hoop.

[@MattsGrandmother]

I know they share hoops but is the embroidery arm/unit the same size for both of them? Because if it is then I think there is a 99% chance my big $$ Wish Table for quilting will fit on the 2000 as well as my 1900 - which maybe, is probably, dead

[@giokaios]

Hi, I have a few questions, I want to start embroidery with designs. First question is if you suggest a single colour, if it exists, machine to learn and practice? Also with this machine do you need to change the thread based on the colour? Does the machine do it automatically? What format is supported for designs ? What is the software name ? Please let me know

[@FamilyUnit]

The Brother SE2000 can only stitch one color at a time. When stitching a multi-color design, the machine will stop and prompt you to change the color when it's time. Once you get the hang of threading the machine, you can do this quick. The Brother machines support PES file formats. You can purchase digitizing software, but I have not gone down that path yet. We use a service called ZDigitizing - www.ZDigitizing.com for all our digitizing needs. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching.

[@jaysonreyes3850]

thank you for your video, if u dont mind, please give link to the magnetic hoop that is compatible with se2000. thank you

[@FamilyUnit]

Here’s the one I have and it works great with the SE2000. amzn.to/402VcNz (affiliate link). Thanks. 😊

[@jaysonreyes3850]

@@FamilyUnit thank you very much😍

[@miraclemeadowsranch1170]

I just got this machine. Do you know if you can do multiple patches on hoop or just have to do one at a time and switch thread for each? Cant figure that out.

[@FamilyUnit]

I haven't tried this yet, but if your designs are sized right and you can fit them within the 5x7 hoop, you should be able to do multiple. Since this is a single thread machine, you will have to change colors when prompted.

[@harryrobin6081]

Love the butterfly design It look so good after stich out ZDIGITIIZING digitizing it so well love the their Embroidery Digitizing This Design

[@FamilyUnit]

Thanks for watching. The butterfly is one of my favorites.

[@nataliedawn9067]

Hi! My bf bought me this and it came with 8x8 embroidery stabilizer sheets. I know they’re smaller than the ones you’re using. Do you think it could still work? Or should I order the 10x12?

[@FamilyUnit]

I do think it will still work and would give it a try.

[@cynthiashaw8738]

Can you use the larger magnet hoops on this machine.

[@FamilyUnit]

The largest hoop for the SE2000 is 5x7. www.brother-usa.com/products/se2000.

[@valeriemendelson5214]

why No ONE is warning people that the software ONLY work on PC, I have a MAC , so what do I do now ??

[@FamilyUnit]

No software needed to use the SE2000 unless you’re using some type of digitizing software. I don’t use one but send my designs to ZDigitizing. They’re fast.

[@randyc8171]

Will that machine sew sideways ? I have an older version that does but don't know if the new machines have that. I just went to the Brother website to check and it will sew sideways.

[@FamilyUnit]

Awesome.

[@user-qk5lx4lz6o]

I just received this perfect machine, I’m beginner. And I tried few design and the white thread from bobbin appear on the front mixing with colorful thread on design. I don’t know how I can remove this bobbin thread on my design and why it didn’t working as a one color without this bobbin color together 😢

[@FamilyUnit]

Oh no! Sounds like the tension is off. Check out this link from Brother for help - help.brother-usa.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/64799/~/bobbin-thread-is-showing-on-the-top-of-the-fabric.

[@nicolathorpe1809]

I just set mine up and I don’t know what I’m doing wrong or how to fix it. I’m testing embroidering a word on a T-shirt. The first letter I can almost only see the bobbin thread. I read in the manual that that means I needed to lessen the tension. So I did but I can still fully see the bobbin and just a little of the coloured thread. So I lessened the tension more. And it’s even worse. I don’t know how to fix it. Do you have any tips?

[@FamilyUnit]

Oh no. I haven’t had that issue but found this info online - help.brother-usa.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/58304/~/bobbin-thread-is-showing-on-the-top-of-the-fabric. Hope you get it working.

[@jordans8374]

Does the Magnetic hoop you added in your links work for the SE2000?

[@FamilyUnit]

Yes it does.

[@answrtek]

I really enjoyed your video, but I noticed that you did not thread the machine correctly to fill the bobbin. You missed a step that keeps tension on the thread.

[@FamilyUnit]

Interesting. Didn’t realize it and had zero issues with tension after using that whole bobbin of thread. Maybe my way is just as good. Great machine!

[@youthtube2927]

Hi these will not work in my country United Kingdom without a voltage/watts converter unit, running on 110 to 240, I wondered is there an alternative for us here? Or is there another model for us here as some say we have same or similar but have different model numbers? I was going to buy one or one that's the same in UK please can you help me select a model that will be very similar and can work in UK with out voltage

[@FamilyUnit]

Bummer! Here is a link to the other Brother embroidery machines for the UK - sewingcraft.brother.eu/en/products/machines/embroidery-machines/embroidery-machines

[@debrawoods9268]

Will you do a demo on setting up the wifi? Just bought the SE 2000

[@FamilyUnit]

We can do that.

[@precisionpilates8335]

Can you up load logos to the aspira appo

[@FamilyUnit]

I haven't tried it, but there is an option to "import external files" under My Creations in the app.

[@jenniferjay6591]

Thanks to suggest such an amazing company like zdigitizing

[@FamilyUnit]

They are the best.

[@projectn1997]

Can anyone give any suggestions for why I have to keep rethreading after a jump stitch trim? It only stays correctly threaded like a third of the time after a jump stitch trim When it works there is about an inch of thread hanging off the needle. When it doesnt work it kind of looks like the thread is not getting cut completely and instead it is pulling apart causing the upper thread to snap up Any help would be appreciated

[@projectn1997]

Solved: pretty sure my issue was the mesh sleeve around the spool creating too much tension. Once removed, pretty much all the trims were good and no more upper thread pulling. Hope this helps anyone with a similar issue in the future

[@FamilyUnit]

Nice work figuring this out AND for sharing the solution. Happy crafting!

[@sweetchickies7]

Which Magnet hoop for a 5x7 ? What is the best on to use a 5x7

[@FamilyUnit]

I use this magnetic hoop with mine - amzn.to/3YdEVaa #ad

[@joangillespie3697]

If I've started an embroidery, finished the first color & had to turn off the machine, how to start again with the 2nd color ?

[@FamilyUnit]

I haven't done that before, but you should be able to do just that. I would remove the hoop before turning the machine back on and then reattach after it's up and running. You should see a message on the screen about continuing...at least I think.

[@marytaylor8417]

Is the Se1900 also wireless connection?

[@FamilyUnit]

It’s not. It’s new to the se2000. The details of the se1900 can be found here. www.brother-usa.com/products/se1900

[@carmenbalko1372]

WHAT IS the stitch width capacity…for most of the fancy stitches

[@FamilyUnit]

Not 100% sure and I just packed my machine. Moving in a couple weeks. Here’s the link to the manual that may have the answer you’re looking for. support.brother.com/g/b/sp/manualtop.aspx?c=us&lang=en&prod=hf_se2000eus 🙂

[@nandinipinge91]

can i do quilting with this machine? what 'foot' do i have to use?

[@FamilyUnit]

I haven’t tried quilting yet but searched Brothers site and found this - “Any machine can quilt, although smaller machines may limit the size of quilting projects. Use an ordinary presser foot and your choice of thread, with a quilting needle or a sharp-pointed general-purpose needle.” www.brother-usa.com/home/how-to-make-a-quilt#:~:text=Machine%2Dguided%20quilting%3A%20Any%20machine,%2Dpointed%20general%2Dpurpose%20needle. How this helps.

[@nandinipinge91]

@@FamilyUnit thank you, this does help.. also thank you for posting such a detailed review of the machine.. I am still finalizing on one, but the SE2000 seems to be the best by far

@Nandini Pinge You're welcome. I'm sure you'll make some amazing things with whatever machine you get. 😊

[@edonna7370]

Is the App made solely for this machine?

Whyndidnt you sing bobbin winding thread around tensioning part as in diagram? I’ve had 1900 4 years and they would be same ?

[@FamilyUnit]

They are the same and I could have but what I did worked so I went with it. 🙂

[@Baham469]

Does it matter what brand and size you need to upload from a drive? I tried several and they all give an error.

[@FamilyUnit]

Not sure I understand the question, but the file type needs to be PES. This machine can only embroidery up to 5x7. Hope this helps.

[@Baham469]

I'm sorry I wasn't clear. Every USB I put in my Brother machine, it gave me an error saying it can't read that USB. I was curious if there was a certain brand and size USB is needed to upload images from the drive to the embroidery? Thanks

Is this considered a high shank machine?

Good question. I had to search that one and it's a low shank machine. help.brother-usa.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/56788/~/determine-if-low-or-high-shank
