About this machine
The Brother HE240 is a discontinued combination sewing and embroidery machine with 67 built-in sewing stitches, 98 stitch functions, 70 built-in embroidery designs and a 4 x 4 inch maximum embroidery area. Brother also provides computer connectivity for importing PES embroidery designs.
HE240 is a 4 x 4 combination machine
Brother lists a 4 x 4 inch maximum embroidery field, 70 built-in embroidery designs and five lettering fonts.
Computer import expands the design source, not the hoop size
Brother documents computer connectivity for importing PES designs. That increases the designs available to the machine, but imported files still have to fit the machine's embroidery limits. A downloaded design does not override the 4 x 4 maximum field.
Included feet and current compatibility are different evidence
Brother's product page lists multiple included sewing feet, while SewFitGuide separately verifies SA120, SA129 and SA140 accessory relationships.
