Brother Celeste CX1e Embroidery Machine

Your embroidery is your art, which is why we’ve built the Celeste for serious crafters like you. This machine brings you the best of Brother’s embroidery innovation, giving you precise, fast stitch outs that really let your creative side stand out. 

Every Brother Celeste CX1e has an extra-large embroidery area of 360 x 240mm (14 x 9.5”), so you can see your designs come alive before your eyes.

If you need some inspiration, there are 523 built-in patterns (17 of which are in 5 sizes L/M/S/SS/XS), 26 embroidery fonts and 22 craft patterns, which you can combine, flip and rotate. There are also 140 decorative frames and over 27 decorative buttonhole designs.

The USB ports and WLAN wireless connectivity let you send your own embroidery designs, and those you’ve purchased, to your machine at the touch of a button. Celeste users can take their imagination to the next level with Brother’s Artspira mobile design app – access a huge library of designs, draw your own embroidery, convert your own images into embroidery patterns, buy Disney-inspired embroidery patterns and much more*!

With a generous 10.1” HD LCD touchscreen, colour sorting, advanced colour shuffling, multi-brand colour palettes, and text editing you can quickly personalise and perfect. Use the Matrix Copy feature to stitch multiples of the same pattern in the same hoop. Easy Echo and Deco fill let you add decorative textures with just the touch of a button. Don’t want to stitch out part of a design – use the Celeste’s No Sew feature!

Achieve nothing less than absolute precision with the needle drop LED pointer, which will show you exactly where your embroidery will start. Position embroidery patterns along sewing lines, above pockets and along plackets with the two point positioning feature.

Work smarter, not harder with the Celeste’s built-in innovation – advanced auto needle threader, jump stitch trimmer, auto tension, independent bobbin winder, auto presser foot lift, upper and lower thread sensors, Start/stop button and more. Be alerted when it’s time to change the thread or when your project is complete with the My Stitch Monitor App.

Isn’t it time you got serious about your embroidery?
