Brother Expedition BX1e Features

If embroidery is your passion, the Brother Expedition BX1e was built specifically for you. Combining Brother's newest embroidery innovations with wireless connectivity, intuitive controls, and exceptional stitch quality, the BX1e makes it easier than ever to create beautiful embroidery on garments, quilts, home décor, gifts, and personalized projects. Whether you're creating for yourself or operating a small embroidery business, the BX1e delivers professional results with remarkable ease.

Expansive 8" × 14" Embroidery Area

Large embroidery projects become easier than ever thanks to the generous 8" × 14" embroidery field and spacious 10-inch workspace. Create jacket backs, quilt blocks, home décor, oversized monograms, table runners, and much more with fewer hoopings and greater creative freedom.

2-Point Positioning with LED Pointer

Brother's advanced LED Pointer makes embroidery positioning faster, easier, and more accurate than ever before. Simply identify two points on your project and the BX1e automatically aligns your embroidery design—even when your fabric isn't perfectly hooped.

Perfect for monograms, borders, quilt blocks, corner designs, and multi-hooping projects where precision is essential.

Matrix Copy

Need multiple copies of the same embroidery design? Matrix Copy automatically duplicates designs across the embroidery hoop, making it ideal for producing patches, quilt blocks, labels, logos, and other repeated embroidery during a single stitching session.

Yarn Couching

Using the optional Couching Foot, the BX1e can stitch yarn directly onto fabric to produce textured lettering, decorative accents, dimensional flowers, home décor, and artistic embroidery that simply cannot be achieved using thread alone.

Monitor embroidery progress remotely from your smartphone or tablet. Receive notifications when a thread breaks, a color change is needed, or your embroidery has finished, allowing you to prepare your next project while the BX1e continues stitching.

Design Database Transfer

Brother's free Design Database Transfer software lets you organize your embroidery library on your computer and wirelessly transfer designs directly to the BX1e. No USB flash drives or cables are required.
