fantastic
The Brother 400D is a fantastic little lightweight machine that both sews and embroiders. You can carry it everywhere because it is not heavy. It has enough stitches and buttonholes also built in to keep you busy, not to mention some Pooh designs and other miscellaneous designs. You can also use it with the memory card to sew out any design you wish. It's great for the money and the size.

Great combo machine for the price!
I purchased this machine some time ago. This was the first machine I purchased that was able to embroider. I found it very easy to use even though it had lots of features and different stitches built right in - even with Pooh/Disney designs! You can also use purchased Brother embroidery design cards - so what you can embroider is almost endless. I also purchased an extra-large sized hoop for doing larger designs. I've been real happy with the embroidery unit and other decorative stitches it does, but sometimes the feed dog seems to "slip" with thicker fabric like denim. I'm not sure, but this may be just a problem with my machine, and I intend to bring it in to be serviced since it is due anyway. But other than that one problem... I think the machine is certainly a great bargain for the price. It is also easy to bring anywhere.... super light weight with a cover that slips over and protects while in storage or transport! I do alterations as a business and have used it to do just about most of the jobs - even bridal gowns. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised by this little Brother machine w/Disney embroidery designs. I just purchased the Brother PE Basic so that I can download designs from the internet (either free or purchased ones) and transfer the design and put it on a Brother memory card. Then, you just slip the memory card into the slot on the machine and stitch away. I plan on making my own appliques for bridal accessories and/or dresses that customers want added to or changed in some way. This will give me the ability to customize anything I sew or design for myself, family or customer. This machine gives you lots of freedom to do what you want it to do!

Brother PE-400D Embroidery Machine
Although I love my other Brother combo embroidery machines, this one was off putting.
The sewing features all "seamed" to work just fine, but when I did some embroidering I was not happy.
The machine case was over heating and I could not hold my hand on the case between Pooh and the screen - yes, it was that hot!
It then started smelling of burning wires - not the normal burn off of manufacturing oils.
So off the machine went and after it cooled down enough I re-packaged it and sent it back!

Brother PE400D - A Great Machine
Wow...When I first got this machine and looked at all the stuff that came with it, I was a bit intimidated by it all. But, a quick view of the enclosed CD and an hour or so of playing around with it, and I had no problem. I starting using the decorative stitches and embroidery designs right away. The machine runs very smoothly...a real joy after 25 years on an old Singer. Great machine.
