Embroidery only machine

I know that when you‘re buying an embroidery machine, you will care about the type of device. In fact, Brother PE535 is an embroidery-only machine with no sewing function. If you just want an embroidery-only machine, then the PE535 is enough for your needs; however, if you want a device that combines embroidery and sewing, PE535 is not suitable.

The number of built-in designs

The amount of built-in involvement you need is always up to your purpose. If you want an embroidery machine for commercial use, you need more built-in design. However, if you are a newbie and want a home embroidery machine, then 80 built-in designs are enough for your needs. And compared to the embroidery machines with the same number of built-in designs as PE535, the price of PE535 is really reasonable.
