Redesigned Embroidery Unit

The newly engineered embroidery unit delivers quieter operation, reduced vibration, and an industry-leading embroidery area of 460 × 450 mm. Explore new and enhanced embroidery techniques while enjoying smooth, stable performance.

Free-Arm Embroidery

Embroider hard-to-hoop projects without opening seams. Simply slide your project around the free arm when using the optional free-arm hoop—perfect for sleeves, cuffs, bags, and tubular items.

Reversible Hoop Embroidery

Seamlessly combine specialty techniques such as felting or bobbin work with traditional embroidery—without removing your project from the hoop. The reversible hoop saves time and ensures perfect alignment throughout the process.

Embroidery Projection

Project embroidery designs directly onto hooped fabric for easy placement. Preview design positioning, match multiple hoopings, and fine-tune placement using precise positioning tools for flawless results every time.

Sewing Projection

Preview stitches on your fabric before sewing or align your stitching using projected guides, grids, and adjustable angles. Achieve perfectly placed seams and decorative stitches while saving time and reducing guesswork.

Artificial Intelligence Technology

The machine recognizes attached presser feet and alerts you if a foot is incompatible or incorrectly installed—helping ensure optimal performance and professional results for every stitch.

STITCH CREATOR™

Design custom 9 mm stitches from scratch or edit built-in stitches to create exactly what your project requires. Enjoy complete creative control and endless customization possibilities.
