About this machine
The Brother SE425 is a computerized sewing and embroidery machine with 67 built-in sewing stitches, 98 stitch functions, a 4 x 4 inch maximum embroidery area and 170 supplied embroidery designs: 70 built into the machine plus 100 on the included CD.
The 170-design headline needs to be broken down
Brother advertises 170 embroidery designs, but only 70 are built into the machine. Another 100 are supplied on the included CD. That distinction is useful for owners who buy a used SE425 without the original disc.
The physical embroidery limit is 4 x 4
Computer connectivity allows PES designs to be imported, but the machine's maximum embroidery area remains 4 x 4 inches. A downloadable design still has to fit the physical field.
The sewing platform is not an afterthought
SE425 has 67 sewing stitches, 98 stitch functions, ten buttonhole styles and a maximum sewing speed of 710 stitches per minute.
