From another forum I am on someone is asking advice on selling their Brother V3. I needed a laugh today and this request made me laugh. The machine has barely been used and hasnt done 1,000 stitches. Will be a great buy for someone else. Embroidery machines are in short supply at the moment. The machine has been hardly used and it makes me think how many stitches that one puts in on each project that I do

I know how quickly the stitches count up. I just picked up my Brother this week and in under 6 months it had done over 7 and a half million stitches, and that was just the embroidery part of it, the sewing side had done over 3 million!. They really are work horses aren't they? Love Chris

thousands to answer your question. Lol! I think that machine has the 7 x 12 hoop so and FSL can go up over 50,000 easily. I want one. new in the box.

They are fun machines and the largest hoop is 20x30cm

Maybe the machine's stitch count was set back to "0" when it was serviced as that is the common practice for Brother and Baby Lock machines...and it has only stitch 1,000 stitches since it's last service...??

That is both laughable and upsetting. I suppose some person who is inexperienced with ME may not realize that this is not realistic. Or, maybe the seller meant 10,000 stitches? Something is definitely off here.

Who believes will be blessed, the great machine has embroidered only one project, there are probably a few stitches missing - LOL. My V3 now has 26 million stitches and wants to retire. . .

It says it stitches 1050 stitches per minute. had to believe bought and didn't use a full minute-lol

toogie put that way... brilliant. I just cannot fathom how someone spends the amount one does on a new embroidery machine and all the bits and calls it a day so quickly

Hmmm, makes me think this is too good to be true.

Maybe on a bidding site but its a comment I have seen a number of times recently. Machines bought in lockdown when too much spare time and now back working and no spare time
