Brother Innov-is NV880E Embroidery Machine Review

Embroidery machines are truly an amazing piece of technology.

They allow you to customise anything to your heart’s desire! And the Brother Innov-is NV880E Embroidery Machine is a great machine and should be on your list to consider when shopping for a brand new embroidery machine to add to your sewing room. Who wouldn’t want to be able to customise basic store-bought items with monograms or fun designs for people as gifts or add names to all of your kid’s school items? They’re also great to make intricate quilt labels or even quilt your projects for you! There’s no limit to what Brother embroidery machines can do for you!

This home embroidery machine is a 1 thread system. That means you’ll have to rethread the machine whenever you want to change thread colours. But don’t worry! Threading this machine is a breeze!

You’ll be all set to start embroidering anything and everything with the 258 pre-programmed designs. There are designs of all kinds in this machine. You’ll be able to choose from many different designs from seasonal and holiday themed designs to florals and nature-inspired designs.

Of course, if you’re looking to expand upon the already stocked design library, you’re in luck! This machine is both Wi-Fi capable and has a USB port on the side of the machine. With these two routes, you’ll be able to download designs from the internet or from a digitiser or embroidery software on your computer to the machine. That means that you can literally embroidery anything you can think of. The possibilities are endless!

And you know what else would give you even more options to really customise your work? You can easily edit the size of, rotate, and flip your designs directly on the screen on the front of the machine. It’s large and brightly lit and very easy to see.

This machine has something a little extra that most other embroidery machines do not: a laser pointer showing you where the needle is going to start sewing on the fabric in the hoop! You’ll be able to easily line up your project to wherever you need to embroider it. This is especially helpful when you have intricate projects where you need to make sure that your design is exactly in the right spot. For example, this works great when you’re embroidering names or small holiday icons on pre-made stockings or a child’s backpack.

The Brother Innov-is NV880E Embroidery Machine comes equipped with a bobbin sensor, too! It will alert you if you don’t have enough thread on your bobbin to finish a design all the way through as well as when you run out of bobbin thread.

This machine comes well equipped with 3 hoops included.

You’ll have a lot of space to embroider large designs, too! You’ll have a maximum embroidery field of 260mm by 160mm, so you’ll be able to embroider large projects, or quilt in the hoop!

While an embroidery machine comes with preprogrammed designs and the ability to download designs from the internet, we would be remiss if we didn’t tell you about the embroidery software Brother makes for their embroidery machines! With embroidery software, you’ll be able to digitise your own designs, edit already existing designs, and really customise your work. With embroidery software, you can even create designs for high-pile fabrics like terry cloth in order to make it look like you’ve embossed the fabric! Embroidery software really allows you to be in charge of what you make and is perfect for anyone who feels advanced in their embroidery skills.

We have two different embroidery software programs from Brother for you to consider:

The Brother PE Design 11 Software is an advanced software that allows you to create embroidery designs out of photographs, change sewing directions of any design, and create intricate applique designs. It has so many different functions that you’ll be able to create almost anything you can imagine!

If you’re looking for an embroidery software that’s a little more budget friendly, you’ll want to consider the Brother PE Design Plus2 Software. This software is great for digitising your own designs, from photos to logos. You’ll also be able to create applique designs, too!
