Brother SE625 Sewing + Embroidery Machine Guide
The Brother SE625 is a combination sewing and embroidery machine with PES format and a 4” x 4” hoop. Popular as an entry-level embroidery option at retail. This guide covers PES export and transfer workflow for the SE625.
Working with Brother SE625
Convert artwork to PES
Export PES from your artwork. Test a smaller version first to confirm the SE625 firmware accepts your PES version.
Transfer via USB drive
Copy the PES file to a FAT32 USB drive and insert into the SE625’s USB port. The on-screen menu surfaces all files in the drive’s root.
Switch to embroidery mode
Attach the embroidery unit and switch the SE625 to embroidery mode. The machine handles the rest — it knows to load designs from USB once the unit is attached.

Brother SE625 — common questions
Does the SE625 use PES files?
Yes. The SE625 uses PES, Brother’s native embroidery format. StitchPilot.ai exports PES from PNG, JPG, SVG, and WebP artwork.
What hoop size does the SE625 support?

Can I use larger designs by re-hooping?
The SE625 firmware does not support split-hoop designs natively. Re-hooping is possible but requires manual alignment — use a smaller design or upgrade to a larger-hoop machine for big designs.

Yes — the SE625 is a combination sewing and embroidery machine. The embroidery unit attaches when needed.
