Key Features
Extensive Stitch Library & Creative Control


1,172 Stitch Applications: Offers a vast range of possibilities, including 600 built-in stitches for utility, quilting, and decorative work, plus countless stitch combinations .


5 Built-in Lettering Fonts: Personalize projects with words, phrases, or monograms directly from the machine, perfect for adding a unique touch to garments and crafts .


Stitch Customization: Create unique stitch sequences by mixing stitches and lettering. Many stitches can be mirror imaged and elongated for even more creative options .


13 One-Step Automatic Buttonholes: Buttonholes are sewn in one easy step. Simply place the button in the buttonhole foot, and the machine automatically creates a perfectly sized buttonhole, delivering consistent results every time .


Stitch Sequencing with Memory: Allows you to program and store up to 60 stitch sequences, including alphanumeric characters, for repeated use .


User-Friendly Computerized Operation


Automatic Needle Threader: Effortlessly threads the eye of the needle, eliminating eye strain and saving valuable time .


Automatic Thread Cutter: Trim both the top and bobbin threads with the simple touch of a button. The thread cutter can also be shut off, which is useful for embroidery-style techniques .


Top Drop-In Bobbin: The transparent, jam-resistant bobbin is easy to insert and monitor, so you won't run out of thread in the middle of a seam .


Electronic Speed Control: A convenient slider allows you to set the maximum sewing speed, giving you complete control whether you need a slow, steady pace for intricate work or full speed for long, straight seams .


Start/Stop Button: Enables sewing without using the foot pedal, offering an alternative control method .


LCD Screen: An easy-to-read screen displays stitch selections, settings, and provides a preview of stitch width and length .


Professional Sewing & Quilting Features


Needle Up/Down Feature: Program the needle to stop in the up or down position. Stopping with the needle down is ideal for easy pivoting when sewing corners, topstitching, free-motion quilting, and appliqué .


Drop Feed System: The feed dogs can be easily lowered for free-motion quilting, darning, and button sewing, a must-have feature for quilters .


Tie-Off Button: Immediately tie off the stitch and stop sewing automatically. You can even program the machine to perform a tie-off at the end of a stitch before you start to sew .


Large Workspace: A spacious 6.4" needle-to-tower workspace, combined with the included large extension table, provides plenty of room for larger projects such as quilts and drapery panels .


Variable Needle Positions: With 25 needle positions, you have precise control for techniques like piping, cording, and inserting zippers .


Durable Construction


Internal Metal Frame: Built with a heavy-duty metal frame that provides a stable, vibration-free platform, ensuring reliable performance and long-lasting durability .
