Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use this machine for regular garment sewing and quilting?
A: No, the Brother Innov-is NQ1700E is a dedicated embroidery-only machine. It does not come with a feed dog system or standard sewing feet. It is designed to sit alongside your traditional sewing machine or serger as a specialized embroidery workstation.
Q: How do I transfer external designs (.PES files) to this machine?
A: You have two options! You can transfer designs completely wirelessly from your PC using Brother’s free Design Database Transfer software over your local Wi-Fi network, or you can save your files onto a standard USB thumb drive and plug it directly into the machine's built-in USB port.
Q: What does the SABESBLUE bundle include?
A: The SABESBLUE add-on is a curated Brother bonus package that provides introductory embroidery assets or stabilizer enhancements (depending on regional promotional rollouts) to expand your design capabilities immediately without purchasing extra starter kits.
Q: What size hoops can I use with the NQ1700E?
A: While it includes the large 6" x 10" hoop, the machine also recognizes smaller optional Brother hoops (such as 5" x 7" and 4" x 4") for smaller projects like pocket monograms or patches, preventing unnecessary stabilizer waste.
