Machine Category: Mechanical Sewing Machine with Electronic Features
What is the benefit of the electronic needle stop up/down function on a mechanical machine? The programmable needle stop up/down allows you to select whether the needle stops anchored inside the fabric when you release the foot pedal—perfect for pivoting around corners on collars or quilt blocks—or stops at its highest point for quick, clean fabric removal.
How does the Sewing Guide Reference Chart work? The pull-out chart provides immediate reference guidance. Simply match your fabric weight and sewing technique on the chart to see recommended presser foot choices, thread tension numbers, and stitch length/width settings before starting your project.
Can I lower the feed dogs for free-motion sewing on the Emerald 118? Yes. You can easily disengage the feed dogs with a switch on the free arm deck and attach the included darning/free-motion presser foot to execute freehand stippling, thread painting, or button sewing.
