Brother Artspira App Drawing Tool 🧵 Does it Work? | Brother PE900 Embroidery Machine

How well does the Drawing Tool in the Brother Artspira App work? We're about to find out! The drawing tool allows users to create simple custom digitizing designs that can be wirelessly transferred to the Brother PE900 embroidery machine. Towards the end of the video, I also share my honest thoughts on the usefulness of the Artspira App and whether or not I think it's worth upgrading your machine for this feature.

I will be making more videos with the Brother PE900 this year and comparing it with the PE800. It boasts several enhanced features including more built-in embroidery designs, wireless LAN connection, color sort function, jump stitch trimming, and compatibility with Brother's Artspira App. This app has an assortment of additional free designs and project inspiration, along with the ability to draw your own embroidery designs and transfer them to the embroidery machine wirelessly.

I have been thoroughly enjoying your videos. I just have to go ahead and say it. Your voice is perfect for news broadcasting!

[lexycorreia]

The slider feature is for making something more angular or softer edges. The dots is for more angular to the end is softer curves. The image is for you to trace over. I hope that helps! :)

[sallyjensen]

Thanks for confirming my thoughts on the app. I thought it was just me!
Your videos are always so helpful. Keep up the great work!

Jennifer - THANK YOU for this video. I too was looking all over for videos on how to use the Artspira App with my Brother NS2850D sewing/embroidery and scanncut machines. I was sold on being able to have all 3 talking to one another so I could create some unique designs. I was disappointed as the App totally left me wanting more. I thought it was just me and that I just didn’t figure out how to make the app more usable. Thanks so much for your review and keep up the great work on your channel. You are appreciated!

[Askthedog]

Thanks for covering this jen as it’s been such an underwhelming lack of info anywhere for this app

[marycooley]

Such a cool tool thank you for sharing how to use it.

[evemarevelyn]

Thank you for sharing all this information! ❤

[teresafayton]

Thank you for the video, it was very detailed oriented. It helped to determined the pros and the cons of the Brother's Artspira App. I don't really need to bother with using it. Again, thank you.

[littlemecarmie]

Can you use this app with all brother machines? I have a brother vr and would love to try this app out?
Thanks for a great video 🙂

[maureenkubisz]

Thank you for this demonstration. After watching, I tried to download the app, but I have an older IPad, so that did not work. I have a Brother PE-770, so I could not use the app to download embroidery files.

When I have to do something complex with embroidery design, I use Hatch software. However, sometimes I am at my embroidery machine, and I would like to combine lettering with another built in design, and there is no way to see this on the embroidery machine’s display. The app may be a quick way to add some words to an embroidery design. It may also be a fun way for a user who is new to digitizing to create a picture stitch.

The Brother app or Deer Legacy’s Design Doodler may be fun ways for someone to learn about digitizing, without having to pay thousands of dollars, and without having to practice for years. John Deer has many You Tube videos where anyone who is interested can learn for free

Jen, you kill me with the J-Hope pic! 😄 Go ARMY!!! 💜

[unosmama]

I love finding a fellow ARMY sewer. Loved the bts reference 🥰

[vickrickers]

Still no Appliqué. Wish they would update it with Simple Appliqué since it’s a Brother product I would find that more helpful.

[LinetteMiles]

Awesome video!! Thanks a lot ! I’m new with this machine how can I upload my logo to do a embroidery? I hope you can help ! Thanks !!

[mikegriffith]

Thanks for the real review. I can't afford any more free stuff!

[briannacarter]

thank you so much for speaking on this machine. its so difficult to find any information about the 700/725.

[karenhorvath]

Digitizing is not an easy, or instant process at all. You did pretty well with free software. I agree Brother needs to do a lot more to support this app. I could not use it with my Scan N Cut because it wanted me to make another account. Maybe that has been fixed by now. But it’s free, so it’s hard to complain TOO much

[annettey]

Wow!!! Thanks for a great video. I loved seeing the actual amount of time it took you. I think this would be great to keep kids art but, that's it. I'm fine with my pe 770 😆

[vali]

Thank you! I’m so confused though because my machine says I need to do an update to use the app, so I bought an usb- Medium which should be compatible with the machine but it still doesn’t accept the usb medium! 🥲
could you tell me which you used??
thank you!
