Built-in Stitches, Embroidery Designs, and Fonts

745 sewing stitches (715 built-in and 30 on CD), 318 embroidery designs, and 17 lettering fonts give you everything you need to take on any project — from precision quilting to detailed embroidery.

Large Embroidery Area

For larger projects of 8″ × 12″ (200mm × 300mm). Two embroidery frames are included (5″ × 7″ and 8″ × 12″) so you can get started right away.

7″ LCD Touch Screen Display

View on-screen tutorials and control the machine with large, intuitive icons. The full-color touch screen supports on-screen editing, stitch selection, and built-in help — ideal for confident, independent use.

10″ LED Lighting

Up to 50% brighter than most Brother machines. The extended LED bar illuminates the full workspace so you can see every stitch clearly, even in low-light settings.

11.25″ Workspace

Handle your larger projects with ease. The 11.25″ wide workspace gives you room to manage quilts, large embroidery hoops, and multi-panel projects without fighting the machine.

Automatic Presser Foot Functionality

Automatically raise or lower the presser foot after trimming with the standard foot or optional multifunction foot controller. Less fumbling between steps means more time sewing.

Multiple Line Text Formatting

Embroider fonts on multiple lines with the push of a button and easily adjust the location by using the touch screen arrows. Perfect for personalized projects and monogramming.

Foot and Pivot Settings

Flexible presser foot height settings and pivot function for more types of fabric and layers. Ideal for quilters working with thick seams or multiple batting layers.

Up to 1,050 Stitches Per Minute

Fast embroidery speeds to create more in less time. The VM5200 runs at up to 1,050 stitches per minute — both for embroidery and sewing — so you spend less time waiting and more time creating.

Automatic Thread Trimming

Cuts threads between color stitch blocks automatically. No scissors required between color changes — the machine handles it so you stay in your creative flow.

Optional Droplight LED Embroidery Positioning Marker

See the needle drop position with pinpoint accuracy. The optional Droplight Positioning Marker (available for separate purchase) is a precision tool for hoop placement and design alignment.
