Advanced Embroidery Design Editing

The Brother BX1e features a large 7-inch colour LCD touchscreen, giving you an intuitive way to select, edit and arrange embroidery designs directly on the machine. The realistic on-screen preview makes it easier to plan your projects and see how your design will look before you begin embroidering.

The touchscreen allows you to:

Resize embroidery designs
Rotate designs using a range of angle settings
Flip designs horizontally
Drag and drop designs into position
Zoom in up to 300%
Edit and arrange lettering
Create multiple lines of text
Adjust text spacing and alignment
Preview your embroidery designs before stitching

LED Drop Pointer and Two Point Positioning

Achieve precise embroidery placement with the BX1e's LED drop pointer and two point positioning system. The LED pointer helps you accurately position designs along cuffs, edges, pockets and other areas of your projects. This is particularly useful when working with personalised garments, lettering and designs that need to be aligned carefully. Two point positioning gives you greater control over where your embroidery design will sit, helping you achieve professional-looking results.

Creative Embroidery Techniques

The BX1e allows you to explore more than traditional embroidery with a range of creative built in techniques. These features give you the freedom to experiment with different materials, textures and embroidery styles, helping you create unique projects that stand out.

• 3D applique: Add dimension and texture to your projects with creative applique designs
• Crochet couching: Use yarn and the included couching embroidery foot to create decorative and textured embroidery effects
• Crochet lace: Explore delicate lace inspired embroidery designs for decorative projects
• French knot embroidery: Add textured, raised details to your designs

Matrix Copy Function

The Matrix Copy function makes it easy to duplicate and arrange embroidery designs. Create repeated motifs, decorative patterns and multiple designs within your embroidery frame. This feature is also useful for creating personalised patches, allowing you to arrange multiple designs within a selected frame and make the most of your embroidery area.

Applique Creator

The built in Applique Creator helps you create applique designs and patches directly on the machine. With automatic placement and repetition, you can create multiple appliques within one embroidery hoop, making it easier to produce personalised patches and decorative applique projects.

Automatic Colour Sorting and Stitch to Block

The BX1e includes automatic colour sorting, which helps optimise the stitching order of your embroidery designs and reduce unnecessary thread changes. The stitch to block function provides automatic stitch density adjustment when resizing embroidery designs and lettering, helping to maintain design quality when making changes on screen. The machine also features programmable jump stitch cutting, helping to reduce the need for manual trimming and giving your finished embroidery a cleaner appearance.

Wireless Connectivity and Artspira

With built in wireless LAN connectivity, the Brother BX1e makes it convenient to connect to compatible apps and receive wireless software updates. The machine is compatible with Brother's Artspira mobile design app and Brother's embroidery digitising software programmes, giving you additional ways to explore and transfer embroidery designs. Additional software purchases may be required.

The My Stitch Monitor app also allows you to monitor embroidery progress and receive thread alerts on compatible devices.
