It has been over 20 years since I have sewn. This machine makes everything so much easier. It was not difficult to learn the abundance of features (I still have a lot to learn). Being computerized, it has a help guide right on the machine for basic operations with just a push of a button. I love the automatic cutting feature, the bright light, the ease of threading the machine, the up/down needle choice and the 103 stitches (although I have yet to use many of them), The computer screen is a good size and very easy to read. Depending on your sewing preference, you can use the foot pedal or just push the stitch button. I have used all three speeds on the machine which I find extremely convenient depending on what I am doing.

The embroidery feature is so much fun. The quality of the embroidery is amazing. I did have an issue getting the embroidery foot on the machine. Like with everything else, after a few times, it gets easier.

I had read articles not to purchase a two in one machine. I am glad that I didn"t listen. The machine performs extremely well in both the sewing and in the embroidering.

I do have an issue with the pressure foot lever. Being left-handed, it has been an adjustment for me as I have to reach under the machine. The pressure foot lever is located on the right-hand side behind the pressure foot. I wish they could have put it on the back of the machine like my old one.

The only other thing that I wish was better is the marking plate. It has the measurement markings, but there is a grid (not sure what the grid is for - maybe quilting?) that is more prevalent and difficult for me to see the "inch" markings. I am used to sewing at the 5/8" mark and it is a challenge at times to make sure I am staying at that marking.

Overall, I am very pleased with my purchase and glad that I got the two in one. I know that I will have many years of fun and creative projects.Read full review

We are able to offer incredible savings on some products that are available factory serviced. Factory serviced items have been returned to the manufacturer for a variety of reasons including: returns to the retail store of purchase, items with a cosmetic blemish, demonstration units and items with slight defects. In addition, new items that are overstocks are labeled factory serviced. In all instances, the product is shipped to the factory, inspected, restored to original factory specifications if required, tested and repackaged. These products cannot be sold as new, so they are considered "factory serviced". Because of the rigorous inspection and testing process, the defect rate of factory serviced products is actually much lower than that on items sold new.

Bring your creative visions to life! The Brother SE625 2-in-1 sewing and 4 in x 4 in embroidery machine gives you more. More color with a large color LCD screen, more designs, m…

While the 4″x4″ embroidery area is small for dedicated embroidery enthusiasts and the stitching speed’s a little slow, most Brother SE625 reviews praise this 2-in-1 sewing and embroidery machine. I’ve had mine for several months now, and it’s been great at both sewing and embroidery.

If you’re wondering if the Brother SE625 is perfect for your sewing needs, this Brother SE625 review can help! I’ll first start by giving you more information about its features, answering common questions, and finally detailing the pros and cons.

Other tools and supplies: 4 bobbins, 3 bobbin clips, 3 pre-wound bobbins with embroidery thread, scissors, disk-shaped screwdriver, cleaning brush, 4 spool caps, spool net, and darning plate

I’ve written a whole separate post on must-have embroidery machine supplies to show you my favorite products and teach you how to choose the right stabilizers, software, threads, and more for the Brother SE625.

While you can manually control sewing with the foot pedal, the Brother SE625 also allows you to sew using buttons on the front of the machine instead. Three buttons (start/stop, needle up/down, and reverse) combined with an adjustable speed slider allow you to sew foot-free.

A 3.2″ colored LCD display on the front of the Brother SE625 adds considerable versatility to this embroidery machine. This is where stitch selection or embroidery design selection happens.

When selecting your utility or decorative stitch, the machine allows for altering stitch length or width and displaying a preview of what the final product is going to look like. The machine also suggests the best presser foot to use with the stitch to achieve optimal results.

Settings such as default needle stop position, buzzer sounds, automatic thread cutting, and automatic reverse stitching can be altered by pressing the settings key.

The following 7 presser feet cover your bases for most sewing projects. With them, you’ll be able to sew zippers, buttons, decorative stitches, and invisible hems, as well as overcast fabric edges.

There are 103 built-in stitches on the Brother SE625. You can set the maximum length and width to 5 mm x 7 mm if desired. Here are the types of stitches included with the machine:

You first place the bobbin on the bobbin winding shaft and slide it to the right. You then need to set up the thread. The manual and quick-start guide both contain instructions. And as if that’s not enough, instructions are printed on the top of the machine and are available in one of the tutorials on the LCD screen.

Installing the bobbin is equally easy. You’ll open the bobbin case and load it from the top, following the directions again in FOUR different places. Being a top-drop, quick-set bobbin, you don’t need to worry about drawing up the bobbin thread yourself. Once you begin sewing, the machine does it for you!

Just like winding the bobbin, threading is easy following the instructions located in the same four locations. Make sure to thread with the presser foot up or you might mess with your upper thread tension.

When it comes time to pass the thread through the needle’s eye, you can use the automatic needle threader. For something that’s supposed to save time, it’s not the easiest contraption to learn. Brother SE625 reviews either heartily praise or passionately dislike this feature. For sewists with shaky hands or poor eyesight, though, it’s going to come in handy and is worth the time to figure out.

With 8 buttonhole stitches, the Brother SE625 makes a variety of auto-sized buttonholes. The process is accomplished automatically in one step and is very simple to learn. By placing the button in the back of the buttonhole presser foot, you’re guaranteed to have perfectly sized buttonholes on every project!

This way, you don’t have to worry about accidentally sewing the two sides together! While it sounds fancy, the built-in free arm comes standard on most Brother sewing machines and is accessed by removing the flat-bed accessories storage compartment.

The spring action zigzag foot, coupled with the longer 7-point feed dogs, provide smoother fabric feeding. If you want a walking foot, spring action quilting foot, or 1/4″ piecing foot, you can purchase these separately. The Brother SE625 sewing machine is compatible with additional presser feet. I got a set of 32 on Amazon for a deal!

Several of the Brother combination quilting and sewing machines include an oversized, detachable wide table (like the Brother XR9550prw, HC1850, and CS7000X sewing machines.) While the Brother SE625 does not include this table, you can purchase a compatible wide table as an additional accessory.

Now that we’ve covered how you can sew with the Brother 625, let’s look at embroidering. If you’re new to embroidery, check out how to use an embroidery machine for an in-depth tutorial.

There are 80 built-in embroidery designs on the Brother SE625 sewing embroidery machine. An additional 200 designs come on an included CD for a total of 280 designs.

I think it’s a little odd that Brother created this technologically-advanced sewing machine and then provides a CD with designs. Many computers these days have done away with CD drives!

There are also 6 built-in English embroidery fonts. You can make capital or lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Each font comes in small, medium, or large sizes.

Here are the 6 English fonts below. The size large fonts are around 3-4 cm tall (depending on the letter), and you can fit about 3 of them in the 4″x4″ hoop. So if you want to do more than monogram, you will have to rehoop.

If you’re not in love with the 280 embroidery designs that come with the Brother SE625, you can import more designs using the built-in USB port. No need to plug the machine into your computer to transfer the files, which is a nice improvement over the Brother SE400! Here’s what the side USB port looks like.

The maximum embroidery area is 4″x4,” and one 4″x4″ hoop is included with the purchase. (The hoop itself is larger than this, but I’ll still call it a 4″x4″ hoop because that’s the usable area of it.)

This is an adequate size for monogramming and doing most small t-shirt embroidery designs. You may run into issues if you want to embroider something larger. Check out: embroider ideas with a 4×4 hoop for some project inspiration!

The prepared fabric (with stabilizer) then goes into the embroidery hoop, which attaches to the embroidery unit. Picking the correct needle size and thread type is important, so check your manual for suggestions! You can also check out my sewing machine needle chart to grab a printable to keep with you!)

Use the LCD screen and associated buttons to choose a pattern. You can choose from the 80 built-in patterns or import your own from your computer (or the included 200-pattern CD) on a USB drive.

Once you’ve selected the pattern, you can adjust the pattern in the pattern editing frame. With the touch of your finger, you can move the pattern around the area, change its size, and even change thread colors. These adjustments show up on the color LCD screen, so you know what your changes look like.

If you’re planning to monogram or use letters, you can type in your letters and edit them as well. One fun aspect of the Brother SE625 is that letters can be placed on an arc!

If you’ve chosen a multicolored design, note that the Brother SE625 only sews one thread color at a time. After the first thread color is sewn, the machine will alert you of the next color to set up. You will need to rethread the machine with the new color, so some automated features like needle threading are helpful!

The Brother SE625 is only compatible with .pes, .phc, and .dst embroidery data files. The preferred, and default for saving, file format is .pes. Other formats may cause your machine to malfunction. So be cautious about loading files from unknown sources.

For decorative stitches, .pmx, .pmv, and .pmu stitches data files can be used. Only .pmu or .pmx stitch data files are retrievable. The preferred stitch format and the default for saving on the Brother SE625 is .pmv.

Unfortunately, there is no included software with the Brother SE625 sewing and embroidery machine. You have to buy your own or purchase pre-made designs.

Many free designs are also circulating; be careful you only load trusted designs onto your machine. (I’ve written an entire post where I like to download free machine embroidery patterns if you want to check that out. And here’s another post listing websites with free or paid in-the-hoop designs.)

If you’re looking to get software, Inkscape with the Ink/Stitch embroidery extension is the best free embroidery software I’ve found. Because I have a Cricut Maker, I like to create SVG files in Inkscape and then sometimes digitize them into embroidery files using Ink/Stitch. If you know vector graphics, this is a GREAT program. However, it isn’t very easy to learn and has minimal support available if you’re new to embroidery and graphic design.

For a budget, more beginner-friendly software, I recommend checking out Embrilliance Essentials or SewWhat-Pro as basic design editing software. They have good support and many beginner tutorials available because they are widely used software options.

If you’re looking to create your own designs, also known as digitizing, Hatch, Embird, and Embrilliance Stitch Artist are three of the best digitizing embroidery software options for home embroidery enthusiasts.

And lastly, SewArt is a good auto-digitizing embroidery program, which means it converts images into .pes embroidery files without much user input. Because it is not a manual digitizing program, the results may not be great, especially for complicated images! Also, don’t expect to run a commercial embroidery business with auto-digitizing.

If using the built-in overcasting stitch and overcasting presser foot, the machine does create a seam and finish fabric edges simultaneously. You will have to do any trimming yourself.

If you want to trim fabric edges while sewing, consider investing in an auxiliary Brother side cutter presser foot. The side cutter cuts excess fabric while simultaneously finishing the fabric edges. (Honestly, I’m in “like,” not “love,” with my own side cutter presser foot attachment. It’s PERFECT for cotton but not as excellent for knits. Learn more in my Brother side cutter foot tutorial!)

If you want this sewing machine to sew as quickly, accurately, or produce as professional of seams as a serger, don’t expect the Brother SE625 to do that. Invest in a quality serger instead of purchasing the side cutter foot.

Yes, the Brother SE625 sewing and embroidery machine handles reasonably thick denim jeans and canvas with ease. It also will embroider hats, towels, and other heavier fabrics.

I highly recommend the Brother SE625 or Brother SE600, its almost identical twin for beginners wanting a combination sewing and embroidery machine. (Read my full Brother SE600 review if interested, or check out my Brother SE625 vs. SE600 comparison post!)

With an easy-to-navigate display and comprehensive instructions, beginners can set up the machine with little frustration. The automatic features such as bobbin winding and needle threading are beginner-friendly, and the top-drop, quick-set bobbin eliminates the need to draw the bobbin thread up yourself.

With troubleshooting error codes and compatible presser foot suggestions, the Brother SE625 helps beginners who want to venture into sewing, quilting, and embroidery.

With its increased versatility and functionality, it’s not going to be as easy to learn as, say, a basic sewing machine. But, by reading the instructions manual and watching a few YouTube tutorials, you’ll be sewing well in no time. Just give yourself grace at first; we’ve all been beginners and sewn some pretty rough projects at first!

No included embroidery software, and the 4″x4″ embroidery area can be small for some projects. (I recommend the Brother SE1900 if you’re looking for a 5″x7″ hoop size.)

Slower maximum speed makes stitching intricate designs take longer, and it’s not as good at handling heavyweight materials as a heavy-duty sewing machine.

Jam-packed with features, the Brother SE625 allows you to sew, quilt, and embroider at an affordable price. It’s fun, easy to use, and a great addition to a craft room!

Thinking about buying a computerized embroidery machine? Read our Brother SE625 review and find out if the Brother SE625 computerized sewing and embroidery machine is worth it. This embroidery machine can be commonly found at local stores in the USA. It is comparably priced with the similar Brother SE600 computerized embroidery machine. Keep reading to learn all about this great embroidery machine.

The Brother SE625 is a computerized sewing and embroidery machine that is sure to serve as your trusty companion in many years of service. Brother has been making quality sewing machines for well over 100 years, so they are definitely an industry leader today. The Brother SE625 has many features that make this machine great for those who want to learn to sew, for those who simply want a machine that will do its job, and even for those who love embroidery.

The Brother SE625 computerized sewing and embroidery machine is a great machine. This Brother sewing machine has many great features to help you create beautiful sewn and embroidered projects. This machine comes with a 4×4 embroidery hoop and 280 included embroidery designs. The large, full color touchscreen LCD makes it super easy to use this machine. You can preview your embroidery designs on the screen, complete with changing out thread colors in the display. You can drag and drop elements onto the embroidery field, rotate them, resize them, and more. This allows you to see what the finished embroidery will look like before putting it on your project. With this Brother sewing and embroidery machine you can even create arced lettering automatically!

Another really nice feature of the SE625 Brother embroidery machine is how easily you can import embroidery files into the machine. This lets you add your own favorite and unique designs to embroider with. There is a USB port on the side of the sewing machine that lets you transfer your own embroidery patterns onto the machine. When you import files, you must make sure they are the .PES file format for this machine to be able to use them. A great place to look for embroidery files for this Brother machine is iBroidery.

In addition to being an embroidery machine, the Brother SE625 is also a fully functional sewing machine. This computerized sewing machine has 103 different sewing stitches built in. It also has eight different types of one-step auto sized buttonholes. This machine is capable of free arm sewing, allowing you to easily sew smaller projects like hemming pants, finishing sleeve edges, and create baby clothes. This machine has many other features such as a no-jam drop in bobbin. It is super easy to thread with an automatic needle threader. Threading sewing machine needles is such a hassle, this tool saves you that frustration. Even winding a bobbin with this machine is super easy with automatic bobbin winding. The machine will also keep track of how much bobbin thread you have left, and automatically stop when you run out. No more continuing to sew without the bottom thread! This Brother sewing machine has a bright LED light in the work area so you can see exactly what you are doing as you sew. This Brother sewing machine is capable of sewing at a quick 710 stitches per minute, or you can use the sliding speed controller to reduce this speed for fine control.

This machine includes many different accessories, including a sewing foot pedal for sewing. It also has many different presser feet like the spring action zigzag foot, buttonhole foot, overcasting foot, monogramming foot, zipper foot, blind stitch presser foot, and button sewing foot. It also comes with a 4×4 embroidery hoop and a CD of embroidery designs. This machine also comes with Brother’s 25 year limited warranty and at your side support.

Now for the fun part, the Brother SE625 embroidery machine review. The Brother SE625 is a well reviewed computerized sewing and embroidery machine. It has many great features that make using it super easy. It comes with a full color, backlit LCD display that makes it a snap to pick your stitch and change settings. You can also use the display to view your embroidery patterns before stitching them out. This works great with monogramming, allowing you to position letters exactly where you want them. The Brother SE625 can even automatically curve writing and letters for you. This machine will even tell you about how long it will take to stitch an embroidered area! That way you are not sitting around waiting for the machine to be done. You know when the machine will be done embroidering an area. If you have to turn the machine off mid-embroidery, it remembers what part you were on when you turn it on again. In general, this is a great machine that can do a lot of things and is worth the money.

This computerized sewing and embroidery machine has quite a few automatic functions that make life so much easier. Something I really love is the ability to automatically stop and warn you when you are almost out of bottom thread. I’ve ran out of bottom thread and “kept going” so many times on my older machines, and it is always frustrating to have to resew an area. This machine also remembers settings between sewing sessions. That way when you come back you can start right back up where you were. It also has automatic needle up / down positions, a stop / start button, and an automatic thread cutter. It also has an automatic needle threader, automatic bobbin winder, easy to use drop-in bobbin, and a variable sewing speed control. With all of these automatic features, the Brother SE625 practically sews and embroiders on it’s own.

This machine ranks highly with embroidery enthusiasts, and with the ability to also sew it could be a really great machine for you. This is a great embroidery machine for both beginner machine embroiderers and more advanced users. Beginner embroiderers report that they are able to watch the instructional videos then start working on their own beautiful embroidered creations within 30 minutes! The most important thing to remember about this machine is to read the instructions. This machine can turn out very high quality sewing, but it needs you to read the instructions and use it properly in order to do so.

Another nice feature about this machine is that it combines the ability to do sewing and embroidery in one machine. There are tons of sewing machines out there, and tons of embroidery machines. However, being able to both sew and embroidery from one machine is rarer. Being able to sew and embroider on the Brother SE625 means that you will save space in your craft room and have fewer machines to maintain. It can also save you money since you do not have to purchase two machines, one to sew and another to embroider.

The main complaints about this sewing machine in Brother SE625 reviews are the price, and refurbished machines sometimes don’t perform as well. You’ll want to keep an eye on the price if you are thinking about buying this machine. It has spiked recently with an increase in demand for sewing machines. For the refurbished machine complaints, any refurbished item is a bit risky. Yes, the item was fixed and inspected – but it may never truly be the same as a new model. Buy a new model or be sure to get a warranty if you go the refurbished route. Refurbished machines will not have the Brother 25 year limited warranty included, so that’s another reason to steer clear of a refurbished version, even if the price is tempting.

Another complaint about this machine is that the measuring marks on the sewing plate can be difficult to see. This problem is an easy fix. Simply take some acrylic paint – white if you have it, and quickly paint over the sewing plate and wipe off any excess with a cloth. Let the paint dry completely (24 hours at least) before you use the sewing machine. Your measuring lines will be nice and white, easy to see.

Now, I won’t say that the Brother SE625 is the best embroidery machine or combination machine for you. That will really depend on what you need this machine for. This machine may be missing important features that you really need – like the ability to sew with multiple colors of thread simultaneously or an even larger workspace. If so, check out our post of the best home embroidery machines.

In this part, I’ll answer some of the common questions that people ask about the Brother SE625. This way, you can hopefully find your answers in one spot and not have to go looking all over the internet just to find out of this is the right machine for you.
