• Mirror Imaging: With the push of a button, you can mirror many stitch patterns horizontally. This feature doubles your creative options, allowing for symmetrical designs and decorative borders .

• Slide-on Table (Extension Table): The machine comes with a large, removable extension table that increases the work surface. This provides better fabric support and control when working with larger projects like quilts or home décor items .
