Our standard width fabric can be cut as a Fat Quarter, measuring 50cm x 1/2 the width of the bolt. Above is an example of how your fabric will be received, depending on the quantity ordered.
We also offer a sample service, where you can order 1 single fat quarter of any standard width fabric, to have at home and compare colours. When you are finished, you can send them back to us for a refund (feel free to contact us for more information on this service).
Our fabric can be cut as a Long Quarter, measuring a minimum of 25cm x width of bolt. We will supply the fabric as a continuous length (eg; if you bought 1.25m it will be sent as one piece of fabric).
Brother Innov-is Stellaire XE2 Product Review & Demonstration
The Brother Innov-is Stellaire XE2 embroidery machine brings professional capabilities to home embroiderers who want precision and creative control. The extra-large 360mm × 240mm embroidery area lets you complete large designs without re-hooping, whilst the matrix copy function helps you position repeated motifs with accuracy. Running at speeds up to 1,050 stitches per minute, the Stellaire XE2 works quickly whilst maintaining quality. The 10.1-inch HD touchscreen gives you clear access to 889 built-in designs, including 101 Disney patterns, 26 fonts and over 80 decorative motifs.
The wireless-enabled Stellaire XE2 works seamlessly with Brother apps, including Artspira for design inspiration, My Design Snap for placement previews and My Stitch Monitor to track progress remotely. The built-in My Design Centre lets you draw or import custom designs directly on the touchscreen, zooming up to 800% for detailed editing. The LED pointer foot shows you exactly where your design will stitch, removing guesswork from placement on garments or quilts. The automatic jump stitch trimmer and presser foot lift reduce manual intervention, whilst almost 11 inches of full-spectrum lighting with five brightness levels ensures you see your work clearly.

This machine is perfect for
- Confident embroiderers looking for a premium home embroidery machine with a very large hoop area of 360 x 240mm (14" x 9.5") means fewer rehoops and room for large, detailed designs
- ScanNCut owners can use the My Connection feature to send designs wirelessly between machines
- Embroiderers who want a connected workflow, send designs from your phone or PC, monitor stitching remotely with My Stitch Monitor and turn photos into embroidery with My Design Snap
Can sew but not ideal for
- Single-needle machines are very versatile, but if you're planning higher-volume / commercial embroidery, keep in mind they require manual thread changes between colours. Multi-needle machines can switch colours automatically, making them better suited to production work and have extended service intervals
- The Brother XE2 is one of the very best and most advanced embroidery machines on the market so not ideal for total begginners
Not suitable for
- Sewers wanting sewing and embroidery - this is embroidery-only
- Small businesses needing commercial production capability - this is premium domestic machine not a commercial machine capable of high volume production
Materials and Build Quality
The Brother Innov-is Stellaire XE2 features a robust metal frame that provides exceptional stability during high-speed embroidery. At 15.3kg, this machine won't shift or vibrate during operation. The solid metal construction delivers consistent stitch quality and helps maintain precise tension throughout extended embroidery runs, reducing thread breaks and improving finished results on demanding projects.

The crosshair LED pointer foot projects precisely where the needle will drop, eliminating guesswork when positioning designs on garments or quilts. Combined with the My Design Snap app, which photographs your fabric and previews exact placement before stitching begins, you'll position embroidery accurately every time. This wireless workflow prevents costly mistakes on expensive or unique fabrics.

The Difference is in the Details
The wireless connectivity dramatically reduces setup time by sending designs directly from your phone or tablet. The machine optimises workflow with built-in colour sorting that rearranges stitching sequences to minimise thread changes. Industrial-level speed reaches 1,050 stitches per minute with rapid acceleration. If the machine stops or loses power, it automatically resumes your design at the exact stitch, preventing wasted time and materials. Smart features like automatic jump-stitch trimming and thread sensors allow continuous embroidery without constant supervision, letting you complete projects efficiently.

Ratings & Reviews
Frequently Asked Questions About the Brother Innov-is Stellaire XE2
Let us help with the answers.
What's the difference between the Stellaire XE2 and XE1?
The XE2 offers more designs (889 vs 760), a large 240 x 360mm embroidery area, improved LED lighting and better placement tools, including the My Design Snap app for wireless design preview.
Will my XE1 hoops and accessories fit the XE2?
Yes, most Brother Stellaire XE1 hoops and accessories are compatible with the XE2. The optional magnetic frame MF300 fits both models for quick hooping.
How does My Design Snap actually work?
Place positioning stickers on your fabric, photograph it with the app, preview your design placement and send it wirelessly to your machine for accurate embroidery positioning.
Can I sell items made with the Disney designs?
No, the 101 Disney designs are licensed for personal use only. The other 788 designs have no commercial restrictions for items you create and sell.
Do I Need PE-Design Software or Can I Use the Built-In Features?
