The machines also include a variety of presser feet and needle options, allowing for versatility in tackling various projects, from delicate materials to thicker fabrics.

Another significant characteristic of these machines is the automatic color change feature, which streamlines the embroidery process. Users can load multiple colors, and the machine will automatically switch between them as needed, reducing manual intervention and enhancing efficiency. The BE-1206B-BC boasts six needles, while the BE-1204B-BC has four, making it easier to handle multi-colored designs without interruption.

Durability and reliability are also important aspects of the Brother BE-1206B-BC and BE-1204B-BC.
