Skitch Single-Needle Craft Embroidery Machine

I loved and was excited about the open arm on this machine, but it is not a true embroidery machine. It is a continuous line-drawing machine. If you want novelty it might work for you but it does not work for a "serious" embroiderer. IMO this machine does not meet Brothers quality. The thread kept breaking and making birds nests in the bobbin. It made words one letter at a time, not as a complete word, not good for embroidering clothing. An excellent idea of an open arm embroidery machine but falls flat for the serious embroiderer.

After months of using this I gotta say I love it. Stitches super clean, it is a little slower than a regular brother pe900 for example. The frame size limitation should be taken into consideration. 4x4 is max but it’s still great. The Artspira app glitches sometimes but with a bit of patience and reading the manual you are good to go. Low noise, easy to use, great quality stitches, durable material (feels very sturdy ). It’s easy to move around as fell, very functional and easy to store. Overall I would give it a 4.8 out of 5. Taking off point for Artspira app not reading the frame sometimes and being a bit slower than my pe900.

This machine is terrible. Doesn’t have a light on it and never able to get it to work. Please don’t waste the money on this machine.

The machine I received was easy to set up and use but the end product was very poor. The outlining was off by1/16 of an inch because the way the hood is held did not really secure the hoop. Either its a terrible design or the spring that holds the hoop pins in place was either bad or far to weak. you could watch the hoop move at an angle when it was in process. I could make it better if I put a foam ear plug between the hoop release levers. This made it better but still not great. So, This machine is almost amazing but just almost. I wanted to love it. The app is easy to use and importing files is a breeze. but sadly my machine was lacking in the most important place.

So many complaints, I think are user related. Buy a thread stand, use the correct stabilizer, iron on tear away works well, quality embroidery thread, prewound bobbin thread.

I’m a beginner and love that this is digital. The Artsipra app might not have the best designs but you can purchase designs from Etsy! The price is great! It’s easy and speed not to bad! I purchased the extra small hoop. The color and size of the machine is perfect and lightweight! One of my favorite purchases by far!

*This is from the wife because it was for her. She's not a novice and loves the Brother company. Here's the real report of a failed product. "Couldn't stay connected to the app Bobbin case was faulty which caused it to eat the thread and pull the material down resulting in a hole in the material." At nearly $500 I would expect a product to be tested and proven before robbing customers based on name recognition alone. When she checked to see the issues online, she found it wasn't just her machine. Do better Brother

I just bought a Skitch PP1 Embroidery machine but I can't connect it to the application. I already read the manual, I already searched for information on the internet but none of those solutions work for me. The option to connect via Bluetooth does not appear in the application. I need help.

Don’t buy this machine. Although it posts to Australia you can’t actually use it. Needs the app to work and the app won’t connect in Australia . All online reviews also saying this machine won’t work for them for other reasons in other countries . Waste of money and can’t even get a refund
