Description

The PE-770 is a computerized embroidery machine that includes 136 built-in embroidery patterns which include scroll work, florals, classic quilt patterns and more. The machine also allows use of licensed designs which are provided on Brother memory cards.

The PE-770 also has the ability to import specially-formatted designs via USB-A flash drives. Imported designs can be a maximum of 5" x 7". Before importing a design into the machine it must be converted to the Brother file format (.dst or .pes) and processed through a program to set stich types, fabric weight, and other important parameters. Our preferred program for this is called InkStitch, a free software extension for the art program Inkscape, which is a third party, open source, free software that is similar to Adobe Illustrator. We are working on setting up instructions and guides for this software, but for now, if you would like help with Inkscape or InkStitch, please let a manager know.

Safety Concerns

Like all sewing machines, the PE-770 has a rapidly moving needle that can puncture skin and cause painful injuries to fingers and other body parts. If a needle breaks it could potentially send sharp pieces at the operator, potentially causing serious injuries including permanent eye damage.

Training

Use of this tool requires the completion of a safety and usage training module. This training is not yet available on our Canvas LMS. As a result, you must arrange one-on-one training with an experienced Sandbox Manager or Staffer.

Self-training via this wiki, user manuals, or other sources is encouraged but does not substitute for the online training module. Students found using this tool without receiving one-on-one training are subject to disciplinary action which may include termination of Sandbox access.
