Spacious 8" x 14" Embroidery Area
- 8" x 14" embroidery area
- Two hoops included
- Fewer re-hoops on large designs
The 8" x 14" embroidery area gives you room to stitch larger designs and combinations with fewer re-hoops, and two hoops are included to match different project sizes.

2-Point Positioning With LED Pointer
- LED shows the needle drop point
- Align designs to corners or lines
- Less fabric waste and re-hooping
The LED pointer shows where the needle will drop, so you can place designs exactly where you want them. Two-point positioning helps align designs along corners or lines, which reduces fabric waste and re-hooping.

Artspira and My Stitch Monitor Apps
The Artspira app turns your sketches into stitchable designs and adds project tutorials, while My Stitch Monitor alerts you when it is time to change thread or when a design is finished. Both need a free app download and wireless connection, and compatibility varies by device.
Matrix Copy
Matrix Copy arranges repeat designs automatically to save fabric and time. You can lay out multiple copies of a design in a single hooping for more efficient stitching.
Yarn Couching
Yarn couching lets you create raised 3-D lettering and decorative projects with yarn. Paired with water-soluble stabilizer, it opens up crochet couching and other textured techniques.
Crystal-Clear 7" LCD Screen
The 7" high-definition color touchscreen makes it easy to move through menus, read icons, and edit designs directly on screen, with help available in 18 languages.

Frequently Asked Questions
How large is the embroidery area on the Brother Expedition BX1e?
The maximum embroidery area is 8" x 14", with a 10" throat space. The large area suits bigger designs and combinations with fewer re-hoopings.
What designs are built into the Brother BX1e?
It has 774 built-in embroidery designs, including quilting patterns, French knot patterns, 3D appliqué, crochet couching patterns and in-the-hoop designs. The library also includes 140 decorative frames and 23 fonts.
How does 2-Point Positioning work on the BX1e?
A laser pointer marks two points on the fabric to help align designs, even when the hoop is slightly crooked. This reduces fabric waste and re-hooping.
Which apps work with the Expedition BX1e?
The machine is wirelessly enabled, and the Artspira app lets you draw patterns on a mobile device and send them to the machine. The MY Stitch Monitoring app tracks embroidery progress and sends thread alerts to a phone or tablet.
Can the BX1e repeat designs or do yarn couching?
Matrix Copy duplicates and arranges multiple copies of one design in a single hooping. Yarn couching uses a couching embroidery foot to create 3D letters, and crochet couching works with water-soluble stabilizer. See more in our Brother sewing and embroidery machines.
