Brother Expedition Innov-Is BX1e

Every journey starts with a single stitch. Choose a machine that’s built to go the distance.

The Brother Expedition Innov-is BX1e is designed for embroiderers who want to explore, create and take their skills further. Combining advanced embroidery technology with a sleek, durable design, the BX1e is a reliable creative partner for every step of your embroidery journey.

Embroidery is a journey from the first spark of an idea to the final stitch. With the Brother BX1e, you have the tools to develop your skills, experiment with new techniques and bring your creative ideas to life.

At the heart of the Expedition is a generous 360 x 200mm (14 x 8") embroidery area, giving you plenty of space for larger designs. With 914 built-in embroidery designs, 140 frame patterns and 23 embroidery fonts, there is an incredible variety of inspiration ready to explore. Designs can be selected, edited and personalised directly on the large 7" colour LCD touchscreen, with intuitive controls making it easy to navigate your creative options.

Take your embroidery further with a selection of exciting built-in techniques, including 3D appliqué, crochet couching, crochet lace and French knot embroidery. The built-in Appliqué Creator makes creating patches and multiple appliqués simple, while the Matrix Copy function allows you to quickly repeat motifs across your design.

Precision at Your Fingertips

When it comes to embroidery, precision matters. The BX1e features an LED laser drop pointer and two-point positioning, making it easy to accurately place and align designs along cuffs, pockets, edges and more.

Advanced editing functions give you complete creative control. Rotate, flip, resize and reposition designs directly on screen, with zoom capabilities of up to 300%. Text can also be curved, arrayed and adjusted, allowing you to create personalised embroidery with ease.

The BX1e takes the hard work out of embroidery too. Automatic colour sorting helps optimise the stitching sequence and reduce unnecessary thread changes, while Stitch-to-Block automatic stitch density adjustment intelligently converts embroidery areas for smoother, more efficient stitching. Programmable jump stitch cutting provides a cleaner finish with less trimming required.

Designed Around You

Despite its wealth of advanced technology, the Expedition BX1e remains intuitive and easy to use. The large, clear 7" colour touchscreen provides a realistic preview of your selected design, while convenient controls such as the Start/Stop button and presser foot controls are positioned for easy access.

The advanced one-action needle threader makes threading quick and simple, while the Quick Set drop-in bobbin, automatic upper thread tension and automatic thread cutting help keep your embroidery running smoothly.

Bright LED lighting provides clear illumination across your work area, while upper and lower thread sensors alert you when thread is running low.

With embroidery speeds of up to 850 stitches per minute, the BX1e is ready to keep pace with your creativity.

Stay Connected

The Expedition BX1e is designed to grow with you. Wireless LAN connectivity allows you to connect to compatible Brother apps, including Artspira and My Stitch Monitor, while also making it possible to receive software updates wirelessly and keep your machine up to date.

Connect via the high-speed USB port or take your creativity further with Brother's embroidery software programmes, available separately.

Energy-saving Eco and Deep Sleep modes help reduce power consumption when the machine is not in use, while 18 built-in operating languages make the BX1e accessible to embroiderers around the world.

Built for the Creative Journey

With its sleek, modern styling and impressive range of features, the Brother Expedition Innov-is BX1e brings professional-level embroidery technology into an intuitive and enjoyable machine.

Whether you're creating personalised gifts, embellishing garments, making patches or exploring new embroidery techniques, the BX1e gives you the freedom to experiment and the technology to bring your ideas to life.
