Whenever Brother tweaks a machine they give it a new model number so the Brother PE535 Embroidery Machine is basically the same as the PE525 except the LCD screen is a little larger and you have 10 more built-in designs. The PE535 is an embroidery-only machine. If you plan to make your own garments, quilts, table runners, etc. to embroider you will need a sewing machine also.
In my opinion, the PE535 has very limited usage unless you’re sure you only want to do small embroidery and no sewing. I have the Brother SE-600 which is a combination machine and is very similar to this one in features and price. It is a good entry-level machine. I don’t know of any machine which does it all. I have a Brother ULT machine that does large designs and borders.
I have a Pfaff quilt-pro which is best for quilts, and a couple of Singer machines that are most dependable for long bouts of quilt piecing. I have a couple of machines set up in my sewing room and the rest are in my cabin studio. The Brother PE535 Embroidery Machine will be set up for those times I need a monogram, label, or small design. It is easy to set up and easy to use. You will need a USB flash drive. I use the PNY brand.
They often have sales and they give you free designs on your birthday. My favorite feature is I can go to my order history and download a design again if I lose it or if I want it on a different media. Also, they have a record of your machine and will tell you if the design you’re ordering won’t fit your hoop. They also have free tutorials.
The “collections” are probably a better bargain. I Have the Maderia chests which include most colors and I replace the individual spools as they run out. I also like the Sulky brand.
You will need a bobbin thread. Three pre-wound bobbins are included but I hate to run out in the middle of a design. I bought the Brother pre-wound, re-usable bobbins (PWB250).
This isn’t a time to skimp with a “comparable” part. Just the slightest hinky bobbin can ruin your whole project. Unless you embroider mostly on denim or canvas type material you will need tear-away, cut-away- or wash-away stabilizers. Each has its own use. If you search you can find free designs. I buy mine from emblibrary.com. They have beautiful, dependable designs at a reasonable cost.
If you’re new to embroidery you will probably be surprised at the expenses that come with the hobby. You can buy a larger hoop from your Brother PE535 Embroidery Machine ($75) or you can get the SA434 replacement hoop from embroidery for less than twenty-five dollars. I’ve found the embroidery hoop to be very sturdy and easy to use. Thread can be expensive.
The designs are easy to download to a flash drive for the PE535.So, I suppose I’ve told you a lot of stuff you didn’t want to know. Bottom line, the PE535 is a great little machine if you have no interest in sewing and you only want to embroider small designs.

Product update:
The Brother PE535 Embroidery Machine itself is easy to use however it was a little confusing getting started. I ended up calling customer service who were excellent in helping me to understand the process. If you are a beginner embroiderer this is the machine to purchase. The price is right, it does a lot of things and once you understand all the steps it does a very good job. I also own a Janome but it is very heavy and I can't go to different classes with the machine. This one was purchased because it's lightweight although it is limited, it is sufficient for what I want. I wanted a lightweight embroidery machine and not a dual embroidery and sewing machine.
