I use it for my baby lock sophia and pe 770. It is very user friendly...i picked it up quickly. I could not grasp embroidery and do not sew what pro at all...i use only buzz programs as I find them the most user friendly.

I use Sew What Pro computer software along with the large hoop (they have a free 30 day trial, but I purchased it for $65 and it's SO WORTH IT). This allows you to edit the embroidery/appliqu to where it doesn't/does overlap how you want it to. You can do an appliqu in position 1 on the hoop and then move it to position 2 or 3 and put a name under the appliqu, etc. without re-hooping the fabric. It's amazing!

I don't know. I use the pe 770 and pro 1000e with this program. I would check the brother Web site for comparison/compatibility. You can call brother directly. I love this program. Hope it works for you!

I have not tried Gold. But as for the machine itself, it has taken me 3 months to get it to work "somewhat". First, the Y stepper was jammed. I had to take it apart and use duct tape to get the iron filings out of the stepper motor armature. Then the mirrors had to be aligned, and I am still working on that. The MoshiDraw software is very problematic, it hangs, reboot, engraves unwanted lines that are not there. It will engrave wood and engrave black anodized aluminum at near maximum power. But sometimes it makes growling noises when the carriage to trying to home and won't. Be prepared to "rework" the machine when you get it. Just today I got it to engrave an "Enigma logo" on wood. The user manual is hardly readable or understandable. Be sure the PC for the engraver is NEVER on the internet. I had BIG problems with anti-virus saying that the USB driver was a harmful virus. Don't run a antivirus program because, like me, I had to have the computer store re-install Win XP Pro on the Dell 3500 Workstation, and then just install MoshiDraw only, nothing else, and no Internet connection. Use the CD Rom to transfer files to the PC and the MosiDraw software. Keep a backup of the software so you can re-install if needed.

Absolutely. Viking machines use a HUS, VIP, or SHV format for their embroidery files. PE Design Next can export files created in their software into these and many more file formats to work with not only Viking but Singer, Tajima, Babyloc, and a host of others.

My Singer works pretty well. I have been embroidering a baby blanket and using the embroidery stitches. Sometimes the thread breaks, but it's normal when you are embroidering. Suggestion: sewing slowly works best. I am happy with my Singer.

Sorry, mine is a different Brother model and it does work fine. I have the Brother that does embroidering + regular sewing.

I have tried to do this with the program. Let me be very clear this program only operates within another program already installed on your computer. I have found the Paint program to work the best. However you can find clip art from the internet and save it to your computer only if it is a PES file then open it in paint( which is what I do) . If there is a lot of detail the program will just kind of jumble it up when you try to embroider it , so if you try that I suggest very simple art without a lot of detail. Hope this helps you.

Hi, I just looked up the Eclips machine and from what I can tell these embossing folders likely won't work with it. It looks like the Eclips is a shape cutting machine, not an embossing machine. I hope that answers your question.Thank you and good luck!

They have a Designio in the series that does embroidery, however, this one is not capable of embroidery except for a very basic monogram font. If you were wanting embroidery, I would select another machine. Hope this helps :)

I bought this for my wife and here is her answer as she has both machines. The project is a good machine and is also a sewing machine where the 770 is not. The 770 is faster, much faster and will take up to a 5x7 hoop where the project will only take a 4x4 hoop. Both are good machines, it depends on what features you are wanting.

No, eclips has their own program. You can however use SVG files to cut. I recommend against this machine. Mine only lasted 18 months and then didn't work properly. I called Sizzix and they basically told me that the machine was out of warranty and I just should buy another one... Yeah right! I spent close to $300 on this now paper weight. Get a Cameo instead.

Izzy, if you can thread a sewing machine, you can thread this machine. I carefully followed the directions in the booklet and to my surprise I got it on the first try. I also took the beginning serger class on Craftsy.com which helped. The difficulty with threading the machine is tight space. But with the tweezers its manageable. I would do it when you have an hour of uninterrupted time to concentrate on it the task at hand. Then go step by step. I never used a serger before. I was very leery when I started, but it was easier than I thought. I think this is a good basic machine for beginning to use a serger. I made a simple knit skirt using the serger. It was fast and I got a good result. I really recommend the Craftsy class which I watched prior to using my machine. Hope this helps.

I've used my Brother PE500 for applique and loved the results! Many machine embroidery designs are made to include applique. Just about any design can be appliqued to a background using a shaped frame design from those pre-installed in the PE500. Design websites have excellent tutorials to guide you.

The machine will allow you to use your own designs as long as they are PES or DST files. But to create your own designs you would need software that you can digitize a design and then import. Brother sells software or there are numerous apps available online. But this machine will not let you digitize directly on the machine itself. I think Brothers version of a machine that does that is the Duetta - far, far from the price point of the PE770.
