Take the next step in your embroidery journey
Large 240mm x 360mm embroidery area
The generous embroidery area gives you the space you need for large-scale designs, lettering layouts, and detailed multi-position motifs—ideal for quilts, jackets, and statement pieces.
Frames/hoops included
The Celeste CX1e comes with two hoops:
- 5" x 7" (130mm x 180mm)
- 9.5" x 14" (240mm x 360mm)
The 9.5" x 14" frame is large enough to combine designs so you can stitch them out in one hooping.
Large 10.1” LCD Touchscreen
Navigate your projects with ease on the oversized 10.1” colour touchscreen. The crisp, intuitive display lets you edit, preview and customise your embroidery designs with just a few taps, perfect for visual thinkers and detail lovers.
Wireless Capability (Wi-Fi)
Transfer your designs from your device straight to your machine. With built-in wireless functionality, it's never been easier to stay connected, update firmware, or send designs from apps like Artspira.
Built-in designs, fonts, & monograms
Browse the library of 523 built-in embroidery designs, fonts, monograms, buttonholes (in 5 sizes) and decorative buttonholes.
26 Embroidery Fonts (24 Alphabets + 2 Cyrillic)
Add personality to your projects with 26 embroidery fonts. Whether you're monogramming towels or personalising gifts, the CX1e has lettering styles to match your mood and message.
USB Port
Connect to a computer or USB stick for importing designs or performing machine updates.
LED Droplight
Enhance precision and visibility with the LED drop light function. This feature includes an LED pointer that illuminates the exact spot where the needle will drop, making it easier to position your fabric accurately.
2-Point Embroidery Positioning
Precision placement is made simple with a dual-point positioning system and built-in LED pointer. Line up your design exactly where you want it.
Matrix Copy
Harness the power of the Matrix Copy feature to generate exclusive and individualised designs. Incorporate numerous duplicates of a particular design into your project, resulting in unique patterns that are truly one-of-a-kind.
When this feature is used in conjunction with colour shuffle, it will result in less thread changes saving you time!
Stippling, Echo Quilting & Decorative Fills
Easily add stippling, echo quilting, or decorative fill patterns around built-in designs or your own embroidery creations for a professional, customised finish.
Colour Shuffling
Colour shuffles have never been easier or more controllable. Choose the colours you want to use in the embroidered pattern and save different variations of the design to select your favourite colour scheme.
No Sew Setting
The clever No Sew Sewing function lets you eliminate specific parts of a design before you even start stitching, making it easy to customise and leave out the bits you don’t want. Many built-in designs are created with this feature in mind, allowing you to remove elements and transform the original into something completely unique.
Monitoring App
Keep tabs on your machine’s progress from another room using the companion app. Ideal for multitaskers who don’t want to hover while the machine does its magic.
Artspira Compatibility
Connect your creativity with the Artspira app, which brings fresh design inspiration, editing tools, and project ideas right to your fingertips. Sketch, customise, and send your designs wirelessly to your machine.
Easy Controls
The machine features intuitive controls at your fingertips; including stitching speed, thread cutter, reverse sewing, and more, for a smooth and effortless sewing experience.
Guided Threading Path
Threading is a breeze thanks to the clearly marked thread guide. Simply follow the numbered steps and arrows all the way to the electronic needle threader. It’s that straightforward!
Electronic Needle Threader
The automatic needle threader saves time and frustration. Threading your needle is as easy as the push of a button!
Automatic Thread Trimming
Automatic thread trimming cuts jump threads for you, saving time and keeping your designs neat and tidy.
Separate Bobbin Winding
No need to interrupt your stitch session to wind a bobbin. The dedicated bobbin winder works independently, so you can prep your next spool while your masterpiece is in motion.
Drop-In Bobbin
The top-loading, drop-in bobbin system is easy to use and jam-proof. Simply drop in your bobbin, follow the threading guide, and start sewing without hassle.
Large 11.25” Workspace
Boasting a generous 56 square inches of workspace, this machine gives you ample room to tackle larger projects and quilts with ease. The needle-to-arm space measures 127mm x 286mm (5" x 11¼"), offering plenty of clearance for bulkier fabrics.
Bright LED Lighting in 4 Locations
Illuminate your workspace with bright LED lighting in four key areas. Enjoy reduced eye strain and perfect visibility for precision sewing, even on dark fabrics.
1,050 Stitches Per Minute (SPM)
Speed meets precision with a stitch rate of up to 1,050 SPM. Perfect for larger designs or multiple orders, it means more making, less waiting.

Brother Celeste CX1e
By: Helen on 28 February 2026The machine is amazing. Love the 2 point laser so you can get the pattern exactly where you want it even if you didn't hoop it straight. I have never done any embroidery before but have learnt from watching Echidna Sewing videos. Chose this machine because it takes big hoops, has wifi, and is easy to thread. I will be able to expand my embroidering as I get more confident with this machine as well.
