High quality app based machine
on November 29, 2023
Posted by: Anonymous
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This machine is really great to use. It allows you to create designs using an app. Only downfall was that if you wanted to do more designs you did have to pay for a subscription on the app but otherwise this does things from soft hats to shirts and more.

I’m OBSESSED, this machine is SO much fun!
on December 3, 2023
Posted by: voxboxthoughts
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been absolutely HOOKED on this machine since it arrived. The Brother Skitch PP1 Single-Needle Embroidery Machine is a high quality machine, easy enough for someone with pretty basic sewing machine knowledge. The set-up was easy, with multiple versions of instructions available - in print with the machine, a quick-guide that came with the machine, and lots of QR codes linked to videos. It’s super important to have fabric stabilizer, and fabrics that holdup well to embroidery. The Artspira app free version is ok - but there aren’t many options for good images or fonts in the free version. I purchased the app service to access many more fonts/images and have enjoyed it. The machine tangles quite a bit, so I’m hoping with more practice that it will run for longer embroidery runs without jamming…right now I have to sit next to the machine and rethread the top quite frequently. Embroidery on loose-weave tea towels was a nightmare 😅 I am going to have to order much more dense towels. Overall, I LOVE this machine and I want to order many more sizes of the hoops (they are SPENDY!). Treat yourself to a large rainbow of embroidery thread so you can embroider any design you want. I would suggest to order a bunch of back-up replacement needles to have on-hand too. This would make an EXCELLENT gift for a craft-lover, and you can also make incredible gifts WITH this machine. I highly recommend this machine!

Cool product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s a nifty little embroidery machine, easy to use, the only downfall is that you can only embroider a 4x4 square, no larger. Would have given more stars if I could do a bigger area

Embroidery!
on December 4, 2023
Posted by: aliciaw12
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Look, i am NOT the most creative . I like to be . It is fun but challengingat times. I worked with this machine for a bit. I got it all paired to my bluetooth and through the Artspiria app. Easy ! Actually embroidering was not so easy . Im sure once I keep messing with it , the easier it'll be . Its interesting what it can do . At this particular moment I have yet to be successful. It is good to pass the time .

Not for beginners
on December 4, 2023
Posted by: megreviewsit
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have little to no experience with embroidery, but originally thought this embroidery machine would be great for a beginner like me. I was wrong. While it has cool features, like the fact that you can use an app with it, it’s not very user friendly and comes with a lot of instructions to follow. If you already have experience with embroidery machines, it may be easier to use. If you want to embroider quality designs, you will have to pay a monthly fee to use the premium version of the app, as the basic version is truly bare minimum and not great. It’s not the most expensive embroidery machine out there, but if you’re going to spend the money, it may be worth looking for another option.

AMAZING
on December 7, 2023

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I mean- it feels like you are living in the future. You can draw a picture on your iPad and it can be stitched onto a shirt!!! Crazy!! The program to do this is a subscription model- so there are some hidden fees. It’s free for the first couple of months and I
believe more apps will start to work with it (so those might be free).

I was expecting more
on December 26, 2023
Posted by: marcicia
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so excited to receive this embroidery machine free for testing purposes, however, I was kind of disappointed. Setting it up at first was pretty easy. Then, threading the top half of the machine proved very challenging. My sample embroider of a heart went well. Then, when I went to embroider a flower on a tank top, the thread kept breaking.  I had to re-thread often. The glitches kept making imperfections and the embroidered flower. Maybe I am not threading it correctly. I tried to follow the video that was shown, but it's hard to see exactly where the thread goes.
I love the concept, by the executions, just not as good as I expected.
