On-screen editing

On-screen editing allows you to edit built-in fonts and change thread colours and configuration of a pattern. Easily adjust the size, rotation or mirror embroidery patterns with just the touch of a button. You can add multiple lines of text and align it to the left, right or center, with text rotation and font selection also available from one single editing panel.

Feed dogs/box feed system

This machine features a system that moves the feed dog in a box motion. This eliminates material shrinking and shifting during your sewing.

Built to last

Designed for years of durability, the robust metal body of this machine will reduce vibration and shake.

The powerful DC (direct current) motor delivers explosive needle penetration to handle thicker, bulky layers of fabrics such as denim.

Weighing 12.5kg means it has a little bit of weight on it’s side to keep it stable. You want your machine to be firm and supported when sewing so it doesn’t tip over, and this machine will be secure on your table.
