Key Features

Revolutionary App-Based Operation

• Powered by Artspira: The machine has no operation panel and is controlled entirely by the free Artspira mobile app . Design, edit, and send embroidery patterns wirelessly from your smartphone or tablet .

• Bluetooth Connectivity: Transfer your designs from the Artspira app directly to your Skitch via a stable Bluetooth connection .

• On-Screen Monitoring: Use the app's Stitch Monitor to watch your embroidery's progress, receive machine alerts (like thread changes or bobbin low), and manage your project remotely .

• 100 Free Exclusive Designs: Get 100 exclusive embroidery designs when you link your Skitch to your Artspira account—designs only available to Skitch users .

• Design Creation Tools: Create original embroidery in multiple ways: choose from the app's library, draw your own line-art, or digitise images and portraits (some features may require Artspira+ subscription) .

Designed for Tubular and 3D Items

• Innovative Free Arm: The Skitch's free-arm design is a breakthrough for home embroidery. It allows you to easily slip tubular items like t-shirt sleeves, trouser legs, bucket hats, and tote bags onto the machine for seamless embroidery .

• Exact Placement with Camera: Use your mobile device's camera and the smart magnetic frame to preview and position your embroidery design perfectly on the fabric before you start stitching .

User-Friendly Hardware & Accessories

• Magnetic Embroidery Frame: The included 100 x 100 mm magnetic frame is a game-changer. Simply place your fabric and stabilizer on the base and attach the top magnetic piece. It's easier to use, reduces fabric movement, and prevents hoop burn .

• Advanced Needle Threader: A one-touch, built-in needle threader does the work for you, making setup quick and frustration-free .

• Automatic Thread Trimmer: Trim both the top and bobbin threads at the touch of a button for a clean, professional finish .

• Quick-Set Drop-In Bobbin: The top-loading bobbin system is easy to insert and monitor. The machine also includes a built-in bobbin winder .

• Manual Thread Tension Dial: Quickly adjust the upper thread tension to suit different threads and fabrics for optimal stitch quality .

• Start/Stop Button: Conveniently start, pause, or stop your embroidery directly on the machine .

• Needle Up/Down Button: Easily change the needle position for maintenance or when changing the frame .

• Trial Run Function: Use the "trial run" feature in the Artspira app to test the embroidery area movement on your Skitch before stitching out your final design .
