Optimizing Embroidery

The 5" x 7" embroidery area is ideal for any of the 193 built-in embroidery designs and 13 embroidery fonts. Whether you're personalizing gifts, creating home décor, or embellishing garments, the NS1250E gives you the room and the resources to do it well.

Compatible with iBroidery

Browse over 5,000 embroidery designs on the Brother iBroidery platform and choose from various categories, such as Marvel, Star Wars, and Disney. Expand your creative possibilities well beyond the built-in design library whenever inspiration strikes.

Design Database Transfer

When connected to a wireless network, transfer embroidery designs from your PC to your machine with the free downloadable software Design Database Transfer — no USB required. Easy data management and easy design transfer for all your projects. You can also create and send designs through PE-DESIGN 11 for even more flexibility.

Artspira Mobile App

Download designs or make your own embroidery designs by drawing on your mobile device. Draw line-art inspired designs up to 5" x 7", then view your completed drawing on the Stitch Simulator so you can see exactly how your design will look when stitched out. Share your creations on social media directly from the app.

Advanced Color Sort and Jump Stitch Trimming

Advanced Color Sort adjusts the order in which multi-color embroidery designs are stitched, reducing color changes and making the process more efficient. The practical Jump Stitch Trimming function automatically trims any excess thread jumps within the color — less cleanup, more finished work.

Generous Workspace

Space for all your project needs with a generous 5" x 7" maximum embroidery area, 7.4" from needle to arm, a 3.7" LCD display, and compatibility with the 4" x 7" Brother magnetic frame (sold separately).

LCD Display

See your designs on the sharp 3.7" color LCD display, which allows for easy on-screen editing — including letter editing, enhanced zoom, resizing, rotating, repositioning, and combining designs. What you see on screen is what you get on fabric.

Stitches Per Minute

Embroider designs at up to 650 stitches per minute. Spend less time waiting and more time finishing the projects that matter to you.
