I have had my Skitch for 3 weeks now and have yet to make a completed design. I have broken and bent a dozen needles, countless number or snags and ruined projects, my bobbin case is chewed up and needs to be replaced, I have never been so disappointed in a name brand product before. don't waste your time or money!

I absolutely LOVE my Skitch PP1. I have completed several projects thus far on my machine that came out wonderfully. The only problem I came across thus far is finding replacement parts for my machine at local dealers. I worry that if something becomes broken I won’t be able to fix it properly. This machine works great for small designs and baby clothing with a 4x4 hoop size. My favorite features are the magnetic hoop and the free arm. I have been venturing with a variety of different materials (some work better than others)! Recommend for beginners to embroidery design!

This looked like a great idea, but it just doesn’t work reliably. The bobbin turns during operation, breaking needles and thread.

I absolutely love my Skitch! The smaller hoop is not an issue because the ease of hooping makes up for that and some. The ease of the machine+app in general in sort of mind blowing. I see a lot of complaints about limits with the machine but as long as you pick the right projects to do, it’s a step up from Brother other machines and I’m looking forward to bigger hoops, but I’m not waiting. This is a real, UNPAID review so don’t get it twisted and stop listening to those Karens.
Great idea poor execution.

Purchased the Skitch PP1 with high hopes of starting a fun new hobby. Huge disappointment. First the software. If you don't have an iPad or Android tablet don't bother. Trying to use your phone to manage and adjust your work is terrible. There is no computer option and you have no choice but to pay a monthly fee (eventually) and send everything through the Artspria app. Next the product, the first patch run I made turned out pretty good but text was very difficult to get consistent. Second run of the same patch was frustrating. Lot's of thread jam's and cutter was functioning intermittently. Third run of the same patch was a disaster. Unit jammed on first thread color and it was a mess. Cleaned it all up and made another attempt. Nope. Cutter stopped working and it just jammed each attempt. After about an hour of frustration I packaged it up and sent it back for a refund. Guess I'll find a higher quality used machine to give the new hobby another try.

I was excited to get the Brother Skitch Embroidery Machine and was very disappointed when I got it. You have to pay to use the better fonts, designs and you can't use your own design unless you pay a monthly fee. This is not a good buy. Sending it back.

0 stars! This machine and artspira app do not connect, I have to redownload the app everytime I try to use it. Once I get it connected after about an 1 long issue, it starts to have multiple issues and even after i resolved them does not let me finish the job but I do have to delete and redownload the app again to reconnect. I have not gotten one complete project done, I think Ive tried atleast 20 at this point. I would like my money back on thi machine.

PP1 is Not even worth 1 star. Purchased this horrible product to be locked out via the Artspira App that does not work in Australia. Still no solution. I think generally Brother hate creation. Fix the app. Was looking at other Brother products to expand but this experience has me shopping to go elsewhere to other companies for embroidery machines.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The machine consistently delivers high-quality stitches with remarkable precision and neatness. Whether working on intricate designs or larger projects, the stitches remain consistent throughout, showcasing the machine's excellent craftsmanship. Setting up the machine is straightforward, thanks to its intuitive design and clear instructions. Threading is a breeze, and changing designs is seamless with the user-friendly interface. Novices will appreciate the simplicity, while seasoned embroiderers will find it efficient and hassle-free.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so excited to be getting the brother Skitch pp1 single needle embroidery machine. Initially, there is a learning curve on using it. It is used with artspira app. Everything is basically done with this app. Threading the machine is very easy as is setting up whatever project you are working on. I love how beautiful my embroidery projects have been coming out. I actually love doing it so much for my family, I am going to invest in a bigger machine as well, so I can work with bigger projects. With this machine I can only work with a 4x4 project zone and i would like to make it bigger and to be able to work with hats as well. Overall, I really love this brother skitch pp1 single needle embroidery machine and I do recommend for people who are interested in embroidery. As for the app, there is the free version and a paid version and I have been using the free version with my own designs.
Love my Skitch

So far I am very happy with my Skitch! I have been doing embroidery for 30 years or more and I was excited for something new and small. I make memory bears and I just need a small area to be able to embroider. This machine works perfect for that. My only complaint is the app, I would prefer to work on my laptop and not the small space of my phone. If that is possible please let me know. I also have two brother sewing machines that I love!
Great machine

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was very excited to try this out. I have a passion for crafting. Brother has lots of videos of how to set it up, there is a learning curve but it does a lot of the work for you. I love the app they provide to make it quick and easy to upload designs. The embroidery comes out lovely. Very happy with this machine

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this free in the mail for my honest review. This is my First time using a brothers machine and I have to say I was very happy with the brand. It was easy to set up and use and I have never used or owned an embroidery machine till now. With that said I think it’s a great beginner machine the only thing is the app looks old school not modern to me and I don’t like the fact that I have to pay to use the machine with all the perks. well For me I wouldn’t mind as bad if the app and designs were better. I need to get a different embroidery machine from brothers before I will feel like I really could compare it so I will be doing that and updating my review .
