You've saved me. You are the only one to explain the temporary file thing. I thought I was stuck in a loop. I'm new to embroidery machines and your videos have been the most helpful.
I owe a debt of gratitude, thank you for removing the confusion from the process.
I don't know why this vid has 19 dislikes....This guy is awesome! he has tattoos and he is better at embroidery than me!
Pure Ignorance
You are my favorite person right now!!! I learned how to embroider vertically from one of your other videos and now I'm going to be doing a gothic wedding vail for a friend so I needed to transfer a skull pattern. Super excited!! Thank you for sharing your awesome knowledge with the world. Don't stop!!
You sir, are a lifesaver!! I have been sitting here forever trying to figure out how to send my designs to my Brother SE400. Now i'm kicking myself for not looking for a tutorial on youtube to begin with. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!!!
It's a year later! I am much more proficient with my machine thanks to your videos. You are easy to follow. Thanks again!
Thank you for posting this video. I had the same problem as Crystal and Alia, but found the solution to it. I tried to reduce the size of my image on the computer and then uploaded the image again to my machine and it recognized it. Success!
Thanks so much for your videos. I am less afraid of my machine each time I watch you work!
I thank you as well for finding and watching my video! I am very happy it helped you.
Glad to see other geeky uses of embroidery. My daughter just got this machine and wants to make her own Minecraft themed pes files. This video explained the difference between the usb storage area and the "pocket." Thanks!
Your detailed explanation was a great help in exporting my first embroidery design. Noticed that you also have a digitizing lesson; I'll try that one next. The Brother SE400 is a fantastic sewing machine.
Thanks,
I have the Brother SE600, which allows me to import files from my computer to the embroidery machine via USB flash drive. For me, that ability was an absolute must!
I fill like I need to pay you for this class or something. You are the only one that's been able to help me with this. WOW! You rock, dude!!!
Yes it helped...thank you. I guess I thought that I would have to open the file first, is working great now :). I just got the SE400 so I will be watching your other videos as well. Love the name Burley Sew and the start up sound effects to your videos!!!! Thanks again
DUDE THANK YOU SO MUCH you just saved me $80 thinking I'd have to get that stupid memory card and writer adapter. (also I have a huge soft spot for men who sew. keep on keeping on and Im totally subscribing c:
Thank you for this tutorial it came in handy!
Thanks! Keep 'em coming please.
I have been wanting a sewing machine for several years. I have decided to purchase a Brothers SE 425.
You just saved me from paying $100 for a blank embroidery memory card😍thanks
Does this work for your laptop? I am having trouble with mine and I thought it was because of the laptop
Thank you so much to make this video! Very useful

Thanks for making this video

Thanks so very much.

hi, I am trying to find your video on how to create a file for your embroidery. to import. I love your video's thank you. I have had my machine now for over a year and still a beginner on this whole thing.
Oh I got it.i can see it now when I saved it as a .dst file
The SE 400 is a sewing and embroidery machine. You can sew mostly any type of project with it as wells as embroider. Check out some of my other videos to get an idea of some of the non-embroidery features. Thanks for watching and posting!
Thank you so much for this video. You just saved me from so much frustration. The instructions in the manual omits several steps. You made is so simple. I now have the patterns saved to my SE-400 and can embroider the new patterns I purchased. Do you know if I can import patterns using a Mac?
Thank you so much!
Thank you very very much !!!!
thank u
im going to try
Thank you!
This video was so helpful! Thanks so you so much!! So after you save it on you machine how can you view it before making it?
Thank you very much for watching and for your kind words!
can you use any jump drive with the SE400?
Your video on uploading embroidery stitches was great.
But how do I do the same on a MAC to a Brother HE120 sew machine?
Is there any Macintosh compatible software for embroidery?
Omg thank u so much
do you have a photo of the finished project? I'm curious to see how it turned out. Your videos are awesome and very helpful =)
Thank you great !!!, but I have a question about transferring designs from windows 10.
My SE400 will not transfer designs. What can I do?
LMAO!!!! i came to this tutorial to learn how to upload image to my machine and it's the same exact image i need to upload! Trekkie Status! hahaha!!!! P.S. thank you for the info!!!
+AntagonisticApathy lol!
Please help me find your video on how to create and embroidery file using Sophie Sew. Thanks
Caroline- The ss1 file is opened using SophieSew. It is the raw design file. I will provide a link to the free software in the video description. The dst file is a file to import into any embroidery machine that can read the format such as a Brother. I will put a link in the video description that shows how to import the file to a Brother Embroidery machine. Thanks for watching and I hope this helps!
I love your presentation for SE400, how to transfer embroidery designs very nice. I have Windows 10 - no drive run indicator popped up. Please help
If you are not digitizing but rather downloading from the Brother site a design
should I create ion downloADS A NEW FILE WHICH could transfer?
Hi thanks for the video. But I have another question. I have a pattern that I designed myself and I would like to applique it to a bag. is there a way I can apply the pattern to my sewing machine for further use?
Do you have to download a software in order to import.... first time and im so confused
Your videos have been very helpful. Do you have any tutorials on how to applique a letter or word with a Brother SE400? thanks so much :-)
Awesome! Thanks! Where is the tutorial on creating them? I can’t find it
thanks
Is there a way to import font files for writing out words in a pattern? Like the pre-loaded fonts?
hi I was wondering. If you download the PES file does it apply the colors with the file so you know what to add or do you have to download the file that tells you the colors to add new to this just got the machine. Thank you
Are you able to upload your own designs of can you only use designed created by the web sight?
Love my new Brother SE425 but I cannot find an answer to my question in any of the materials. I've seen on PBS many quilting shows and one thing that I'd like to try is putting a quilt block in the embroidery hoop and have it follow a pattern for the actual quilting phase. I see information on monogramming, embroidery, regular sewing but I cannot find any files for quilting patterns. I've searched online and cannot find any information either. Any ideas on where I should be searching or what I should under? Is this feature available on my machine? Should I be looking under embroidery or other section of the manual? Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
my machine pattern is too large for the embroidery frame, what can I do to make it fit?
Will this work basically the same way for the Brother PE-700II ? I have Windows 8.1.
I have a question, I am having a hard time getting my machine to display the image that I transfer. in the upper left hand corner of
the display the KB"s have increased have, but the image doesn't show up !! I am getting really frustrated I have been working on this for 2 days now, Do you know how I can fix this?? Thanks.
I had a laptop and it has windows8
it will work with the same proccess?
so i downloaded a new file & when i try to get it on my machine it tells me i dont have enough room on the removable disc drive. i never have saves anything on my machine. any ideas?
hey when i export the file to the embroidery machine, my machine says transferring usb but its not on the machine. can you help?
do have any tips on transferring names from ebrilliance to machine? I have a name saved on my pc and tried to transfer it to machine brother pe540, but never loaded?
As I import the designe to my Brother se425 it shows up on the screen of the machine but when I touch the pocket to save it, it does nothing. I have transfered other designes to my machine using pes format with no problem but I can't get it to save the dst format item I just made.
I'm using PE Design 11 to transfer a file to my SE400. It shows the file on the computer in the machine, but it won't show up on the lcd screen. Any suggestions. It says it's transferring, but nothing there to choose.
Is there a way to use these file for applique. I just bought the se 425 and I'm new to sewing.
I have question. Can I sew 1.6 ripstop with the Brother se400 and maybe basic embroidering?
hello! excuse me do you know if I can use 5X7 hook in my brother 400
Hi Purified! First of all, thanks for your great videos. I have a Brother se400 and am trying to import an applique pattern from my computer to my se400. I have viewed your video and I still can't do it. Your explanation is great however, its not happening on my end. I have windows 8 - so a bit different. I purchased an applique pattern on etsy and downloaded into my computer. It is saved on the c drive. I can open it and view it. However, when I set up my computer by connecting to my machine and I opened the file, nothing happens. I never get a brother screen showing up on my computer. Please help!! So frustrated. I am trying to make a special shirt for my soon to be 3 year old granddaughter. Thank you so much!
Hello, I was hoping maybe you could give me some advice please, I have purchased a font and I have a free trial of Sew What Pro I have designed my word and when I follow your tutorial for some reason the PES file for my Brother Machine will not upload to my Brother HE1 Embroidery machine.
Would you have any advice on how I may go about solving this issue?
Thank you so much, very much appreciated.
How well does the Brother SE400 work on hats?
How do you delete the imported ones? I can't download my other one because it's taking up space in the import
Is it possible to applique on the se400? And if so then where would I go to get designs?
I am having the same issue as Kristine & Alia. I drag the file to the sewing machine folder and the the LCD screen flashes to "Transmitting by USB" but then nothing appears. The KB increases so something is taking up the memory space, but nothing is visible on the LCD screen. I've been able to tx files previously, but for some reason this issue has started happening all of a sudden.
Wow that is awesome! I Minecraft designs are a great idea. I have done Fionna and Jake hats (from Adventure Time) for my kids and digitized both charctgers as well. I did not do a video though on those, but I think I have a picture of the Fionna hat on Facebook. I would be curious to see some of the work when it is done. Thanks for watching!
This may be here, but I didn't find it. I have issues with my computer seeing the SE-400 when I turn it on after I plug it in. There are no new drives that show up. Can you give me any direction?
i purchased a monogram file and tried copying it to the "removable disk" I do not have anything in the "removable disk". It tells me I dont have enough space! Help! i have a se425 brother
Alia- try using the arrows to page to the right when you are in the screen that shows your saved imported files and let me know if that works. I had something simular happen to me where I thought I was at the end of my saved designs but I was able to page one more and there it was. Thanks for watching!
I have the brother pe500 and have transferred a file from my computer however, it shows that the file is there in KB but the actual picture of the file is not showing so that I can download it to stitch. The file can't be too large because the machine holds 476kb and the file itself is only 126kb. When i click on the usb icon on the machine it shows that it is retrieving the file from my usb/F drive. What could possibly be wrong. Anita
Any chance for some troubleshooting? Some of my files won’t copy from my laptop to the machine, but some will...
All I wanted to do was embroider SHAY onto a quilt. I tried it with the SE 400 but it spaces weird. Tried all the fonts too. The Y is kind of set apart from the other letters (like this SHA Y). So, then I tried to use SewWhat and Sophie Sew to do it. I created the name and it looks ok, but can't get it to upload to my SE400. I saved it as a .pes file, but no go.Same as other users on here, it says it's uploading, but nothing displays on the LCD but the space used changes ..... Any ideas?
Hey Burley Sew I have learned a lot from your videos and I get how to embroider a name but is there a way to embroider a sentence. For Example....Congratulations Burley and Sew May 27, 2015 . I have saw embroidered sentences on the back of quilt labels and I am wondering is it possible with our SE 400's?
Is it in any way possible to dowload this on a machine from brother that only has a embroidery card option?. I see people servicing this for €60 for 1 card. Is it possible to do this yourself.??
One question/concern I have is how to ensure alignment of portions of a larger design. Most cnc tools make it clear where a "home" position is. How would you perfectly center a monogram under an insignia, for instance?
Hello, guessing you are exporting with the extension .Pec so the brother machine can read the template
HELP! I'm having the same issue as Alia. I follow the directions to a tee, but it isn't transferring over. I see the available KB going down so I know it's transferring, but the pattern isn't anywhere on my machine. I've used the left and right arrows and there's isn't anything there. What am I doing wrong?!!
What is the other end the USB cord called and can you find it online?
This is a great video and I have used it every time. But the last time I tried to transfer a design to the machine I get this error:
Are you sure you want to copy this file without its properties? The file has properties that cant be copied to the new location. I cant for the life of me figure out what Ive done wrong. I am using Embird and I successfully embroidered my first project. But when I went to design my second one I get this error. I even edited the successful one I made and still get this error. Please help me.
If you are using 3 seperate files I do not think it is possible. If the total output is less than 4 inches you might be able to redigitize them in SophieSew and export it as one design. Another idea if the three designs are less than four inches would be to use the positioning feature to start your first letter to the far left, your second in the middle and the thrid to the far right. This might take some trial and error to get right though. I hope this helps. Thank you so much for watching!
I think your video is very informative on transferring but I have a MAC Computer. Can you tell me how to transfer designs to sewing machine from a MAC Computer.
Don't be nervous! What is the worst that can happen? I will tell you! You may have to adjust your pattern several times. The initial design part isn't that bad. It's the tweaking and back and forth to get it to stitch out correctly that is the pain. Also once you get a few designs under your belt you will need less tweaking. So just jump in and don't get discouraged. Practice makes perfect. If I can do it so can you! Good luck and thanks for watching!
Can you rotate an image on the se 400?
What do u save the file as? Pes or something else?
I have a programme on my computer which is not embroidery related, its a design console called serif draw, I use it to design artwork and can save each file for printing, but what I would really like to do is start embroidering my own logo's and designs onto clothing exactly as they look as they are printed, I have been watching videos of computerised embroidery machines and wish to buy a good beginners machine so I can get my logos and designs embroidered on shirt pockets etc. Would you be able to recommend a beginners machine that would let me do this. Much obliged.
Can you use it with macs?
Would somebody be able to tell me why is it when I try and upload an applique design to my brother se400 it comes across my machine as an embroidery pattern not an appliqué design this is driving me bonkers
Question. Please help. Is it possible for me to use my apple Monogram It app to import a 3 letter monogram to my machine? Or how can I create nice monograms with the large middle initial. I am stuck. That's the sole purpose I bought the machine. to monogram
This video has been a great help!! I have a question! I've got 3 letters imported to my SE 400 for a fancy monogram I want to do but I can't figure out how to set them up so they will all 3 print together as one monogram. Is it possible? The only way I have figured out how to do them is by setting them up to embroider each letter individually and they just aren't turning out at all how I want them to because the spacing looks weird. Thank you so much!! I really appreciate it!!
I recently purchased a font to use with my Brother SE-400. I'd like to do a name on a blanket. I know how to hook up my computer to my machine, how to retrieve the patterns,etc, but I'm wondering if there's a way to program all the letters in the name so they are all spaced correctly? All I've been able to do is one letter at a time, and I've had to position the needle for each letter. In doing so, the letters aren't spaced correctly. Any suggestions?? Thanks!!
You should download the free version of Embrilliance software...it is called Embrilliance Express. There are videos on here that show you how to use it. When you have designed the embroidery that you want, save that file to your computer and then transfer it to the machine. Hope this helps!!
Heather Lutterman t
Love your video, but I am having problems and hope you can help. When I try to download the design my computer asks me what program I want to use to open this file. It gives me several options to use but I am unsure which one to use. Thanks for any help.
