Description

Brother NQ1700E Embroidery Machine

The Brother NQ1700E is the least expensive way into a full 6″ x 10″ embroidery field. It’s a dedicated embroidery machine, so it doesn’t sew, but it’s built to do one thing well: put clean, professional embroidery on clothing, quilts, towels, bags, and gifts. If you’ve been stitching on a 4″ x 4″ or 5″ x 7″ machine and keep running out of room, this is the upgrade we point people to first.

You get 258 built-in designs, 13 lettering fonts, a color touchscreen for editing designs right on the machine, and wireless design transfer from your computer, so there’s no more walking USB sticks back and forth.

Embroidery on the Brother NQ1700E ★★★★★

The 6″ x 10″ field is big enough for jacket-back lettering, quilt blocks, and large monograms without re-hooping. The 8.3″ of space to the right of the needle gives you room to maneuver bulky projects like quilts and towels.

  • 6″ x 10″ maximum embroidery area
  • 258 built-in embroidery designs
  • 13 built-in lettering fonts
  • 140 frame pattern combinations
  • 8.3″ needle-to-arm workspace

Ease of Use ★★★★★

Brother’s embroidery machines are the easiest in the industry to learn, and the NQ1700E is no exception. Thread the machine, hoop your fabric, pick a design on the touchscreen, and press start. The machine trims its own jump stitches and tells you when it’s time to change thread colors.

  • Color LCD touchscreen for selecting, resizing, rotating, and combining designs
  • Advanced needle threading system
  • Automatic thread cutter and jump stitch trimming
  • Quick-set top-loading bobbin
  • Upper and bobbin thread sensors

Wireless and Apps ★★★★☆

Send designs from your computer straight to the machine over your home Wi-Fi with Brother’s free Design Database Transfer software. With the Artspira app, you can draw your own designs on your phone or tablet and send them to the machine.

  • Wireless-enabled
  • Design Database Transfer (no USB needed)
  • Artspira mobile app compatible

Reliability ★★★★★
