Stellaire XE1
By: Patricia on 7 October 2021Felt now was the right time to update my embroidery machine and after doing a lot of research and watching videos on the Stellaire XE1 knew it would be right for me. I had an Innovis 1500D for 14 years and nothing went wrong with it and was a good machine, which I have given to a wonderful lady who does sewing and knitting and embroidery for charity. I have only had the Stellaire XE1 machine for a couple of weeks and have done a few projects to get use to it and I love it!!! It is so much different to what I previously had. There is still so much more I have to learn about the machine and looking forward to trying My Design Centre. To have manuals you can sit and read is so helpful. I have a notebook which I write down useful information about the machine for quick reference.
