Key Specifications

Key Features

Designed with Quilters in Mind

• Quilting-Specific Stitches & Accessories: Features 15 built-in quilting stitches and comes with four bonus quilting presser feet: a 1/4" foot for accurate piecing, an even feed/walking foot for smooth feeding of multiple layers, a satin stitch foot, and a darning & embroidery foot for free-motion work .

• Included Extension Table: A large extension table is included to provide a larger working area, which is essential for managing large quilts, home décor projects, or other sizable items .

• Programmable Needle Up/Down: This must-have feature for quilting allows you to program the needle to stop in the down position, which is ideal for pivoting at corners, sewing appliqués, and topstitching with precision .

• Ample Workspace: With 5.5 inches of space from the needle to the tower, you have plenty of room to maneuver bulky quilts and layered fabrics .

Extensive Stitch Library & Creative Control

• 100 Built-In Stitches: Offers a wide variety of 98-100 stitches for endless creativity. This includes 15 quilting stitches, 9 essential stitches, 8 stretch stitches for knit fabrics, 61 decorative stitches for embellishment, and 7 buttonhole styles .

• Versatile Buttonholes: Create 6 fully automatic one-step buttonholes in various styles (like basic bartack, round end, and keyhole) plus one automatic four-step endless buttonhole for cuffs and plackets .

• Customizable Settings: While automatic stitch length and width are set for convenience, you can easily override them for personalized sewing projects. The settings are clearly viewable on the LCD screen .

• Centre Zigzag Taper: A special feature where the zigzag stitch tapers to the centre, providing a more attractive look when appliquéing or tapering into a point .

User-Friendly Operation

• Automatic Needle Threader: A built-in needle threader pushes the thread through the eye of the needle, saving time and eliminating frustration .

• Start/Stop Button & Speed Control: You can sew without using a foot pedal by pressing the Start/Stop button. The speed control lever lets you set a comfortable maximum sewing speed, from slow for free-motion work to fast for long seams .

• Top Drop-In Bobbin: The jam-resistant, top-loading bobbin system with a clear cover makes it easy to insert and monitor your bobbin thread supply .

• Automatic Features: The machine simplifies sewing with automatic thread tension, automatic presser foot pressure control (adjusts for different fabric weights), and an automatic locking stitch function to reinforce seams .

• Horizontal Threading: Placing the thread spool horizontally allows for more even thread delivery, reducing poor stitch formation and thread breakage .

Durable and Convenient Design

• Heavy-Duty Metal Frame: The internal rigid metal frame holds all mechanisms in perfect alignment for skip-free sewing, stability, and long-lasting durability .

• Free Arm & On-Board Storage: The removable sewing compartment converts the machine to a free arm for sewing cuffs and sleeves. It also conveniently stores all your included accessories .

• Extra-High Presser Foot Lifter: Provides the advantage of easily placing multiple layers or bulky fabrics under the presser foot .

• Canvas Cover with Pocket: A durable canvas cover is included to protect your machine from dust, and it features a handy pocket specifically for storing the extension table .
