Brother XR9550 Computerized Sewing and Quilting Machine
The XR9550 carries the widest stitch selection in this part of the Brother range and includes the wide table needed for quilting rather than selling it separately. It suits someone past a first machine who wants more stitch choice and a bigger work surface without moving up to a long-arm price.

The wide table is in the box
Quilting a large piece on a small bed lets the weight hang off the edge, which drags the fabric and makes the stitch length wander. The included wide table extends the sewing surface so the quilt is supported while you work, and it lifts off to expose the free arm for cuffs, sleeves and hems.

165 stitches, including 55 for lettering
The stitch panel on the machine shows 110 utility, decorative and quilting stitches. Adding the 55 alphanumeric characters brings the total to 165, so basic lettering for name tags and labels is built in without an embroidery unit. Eight of the stitches are one-step buttonholes that size themselves to the button.

Automatic needle threader
The threader pushes the thread through the eye of the needle with a lever, which is the step most people find fiddly and the reason a machine sits unused. A backlit LCD shows the selected stitch with its width and length so the settings stay readable in a dim room.

Jam-resistant drop-in top bobbin
The bobbin drops straight in under a clear cover rather than being wound into a case, so you can see how much thread is left without stopping to check. The jam-resistant design keeps the thread from bunching underneath the fabric at the start of a seam.

Eight feet and a hard case included
The XR9550 ships with eight sewing and quilting feet: buttonhole, blind hem stitch with multi-purpose guide, zipper, overcasting, monogramming, zigzag, spring action quilting and button sewing. A hard case, four bobbins, a needle set, twin needle, seam ripper, cleaning brush, eyelet punch, screwdriver and the foot controller are in the box as well.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many stitches does the Brother XR9550 have?
There are 165 built-in stitches, the widest selection in this part of the Brother range. That total includes 55 alphanumeric stitches for basic lettering and 8 one-step buttonhole styles that size themselves automatically to the button.
Is the wide table included with the XR9550?
Yes, the wide table ships in the box. It extends the sewing surface so a quilt is supported rather than dragging off the edge, which keeps stitch length consistent across a large piece. A hard case is also included for storage.
How does the XR9550 compare with the Brother CS7000X?
Both include a wide table and a jam-resistant quick-set bobbin. The difference is the stitch library: the XR9550 has 165 stitches including 55 alphanumeric, against 70 on the CS7000X. The CS7000X adds a walking foot for feeding thick quilt layers evenly, which the XR9550 does not include. Both machines drop their feed dogs for free-motion quilting.
Which presser feet are included with the XR9550?
Eight feet ship with the machine: buttonhole, blind hem stitch / multi-purpose guide, zipper, overcasting, monogramming, zigzag, spring action quilting and button sewing. The spring action quilting foot handles quilting without a separate purchase.
Is the XR9550 easy to thread?
The advanced needle threading system handles the needle eye, and the quick-set drop-in top bobbin is jam resistant and drops straight in. An upper thread sensor flags a break or a run-out, and the LED-lit work area keeps the needle visible on dark fabric.
What warranty comes with the XR9550?
Brother's standard limited warranty is 1 / 2 / 25 years: 1 year on parts, labor and accompanying accessory items, 2 years on electronic components and printed circuit boards with replacement labor excluded, and 25 years on the chassis casting. Quality Sewing adds a 1-Year Quality Sewing Warranty.
