Artspira App instead of expensive embroidery software
Anyone who has ever had to deal with larger embroidery machines knows that the associated software in particular costs half a fortune. The Skitch PP1 is different: the embroidery machine is controlled with the free Artspira app. This includes up to 500 free embroidery files and many different editing options. On top of that, the Artspira app guides you step by step through the embroidery process and shows you the individual editing steps with pictures and videos - a sense of achievement guaranteed.
An Artspira+ subscription can be taken out on request. This costs 12.99 dollar per month and enables additional editing options and up to 7,000 embroidery designs. However, the upload of external designs remains limited (20 in the free version and 100 in the paid version). Further information on the Artspira app can be found here (DE).
The Artspira app can also be used to control your Brother plotter.
Threading made easy
Threading is a breeze with the Skitch PP1:
Numbers and small graphics on the machine show you where to guide the thread. The machine then does the threading itself for you. It really couldn't be easier.
No slipping with magnetic embroidery frame
Clamp your desired material in the magnetic 100 x 100 mm embroidery frame so that it does not slip during the process. You then position the motif in the embroidery software. Insert the thread, press the button, done.
No towel is safe from you
Your own band logo on the T-shirt, names on the towels, cute little animals on the baby hat, stylish motifs on the potholders, the Skitch PP1 offers so many possibilities! Once you start, you'll find it hard to stop. No towel is safe from you and your friends, children, colleagues and relatives can already look forward to lots of great gifts.

Brother, once a small family business founded in 1908, has developed into a multinational company over the last 100 years. The brand began as a small sewing machine workshop and has always focussed on innovation and precision craftsmanship. Under the leadership of the Yasui brothers, Brother pioneered the production of affordable, high-quality sewing machines - from mass production in 1932 to the introduction of the first electronic sewing machine in 1976.
Today, Brother is known worldwide, not only for office technology, but also for its first-class sewing, embroidery and quilting machines aimed at beginners and professionals alike. The original pioneering spirit and commitment to creativity are still an integral part of the company's philosophy today.
