600 Built-In Stitches
Fulfill your creative dreams with a large selection of stitches including
basic, decorative and stretch stitches for clothing construction, quilting,
home décor and crafting.
13 Fully Automatic
1-Step Buttonholes
Buttonhole sewing is a simple 1-step process providing reliable results
every time. The sides of the buttonholes are sewn in the same direction to
prevent gaps in stitching or fabric distortion.
Exclusive Buttonhole
Underplate
The buttonhole foot with underplate sandwiches fabric between a lower
plate and the foot to ensure perfect buttonholes on multiple layers of
fabric. Effectively, this is like a mini-embroidery hoop in which the machine
feeds the attachment, rather than the fabric. It makes creating buttonholes
possible in places that conventional buttonhole devices cannot easily
reach.
Automatic Needle
Threader
Sewing’s biggest timesaver! This feature makes threading the eye of the
needle quick and easy.
Automatic Stitch
Length & Width
Optimal settings for stitch length and width are automatically set, but can
be overridden for more personalized sewing.
Needle Up/Down
Button
Pressing this button when the machine is stopped will change the needle
position from down to up or from up to down.
Extension Table
Included
The included optional extension table provides a larger working area, an
essential for quilting or when working with a larger project.
Large Back-Lit LCD
Screen with
Brightness Control
Provides clear and easy viewing of stitch functions including stitch length,
stitch width, tension settings, recommended presser foot, needle up/down
position and more! Easily adjust the screen brightness.

Top Drop-In
Bobbin System
5 Built-In Alphabets
Benefit
The bobbin loads from the top, so it is easy to insert the bobbin. The
clear cover makes it easy to monitor the bobbin thread supply.
Personalize projects by adding a monogram, name or phrase with the
built-in block or script style numbers and alphabets, both available in
upper and lower case, stitched at 5mm stitch width.
Mirror Imaging and
Elongation Functions
With just a touch of a button, selected stitches can be mirrored imaged,
adding even more stitch variety. Press the Elongation button and
selected stitches can be made up to 5 times longer
Electronic Auto Pilot
Unplug the foot control, press the Start button and the machine sews.
You are still in complete control over the speed - just slide the Speed
Lever to the desired speed.
7mm Stitch Width
2 StayBright™ LED
Lights
Most stitches can be set for a maximum width of 7mm creating attractive
satin and decorative stitches.
Two lamps illuminate the sewing surface for optimal viewing. The
long-lasting bulbs (100,000 hours) are always cool to the touch.
Heavy Duty Metal
Frame
The internal skeleton of the sewing machine is constructed of heavy
duty metal. This rigid support holds all the mechanisms in perfect
alignment for skip-free sewing and overall durability
25 Needle Positions
Needle position can be changed for individual projects like inserting
zippers, cords and topstitching.
Electronic Twin
Needle Settings
Drop Feed
Stitches are automatically adjusted for twin needle sewing with just the
touch of a button.
A conveniently located lever lowers the feed dogs for free-motion
embroidery, monograms and button sewing.
Feature
7-Segment
Feeding System
Box Feed
Six Second
Threading
Benefit
This is a specially designed feed system that ensures that the fabric is
picked up and supported from the front of the presser foot to the rear.
This provides for much more accurate feeding of the fabric.
This is a function that moves the feed dogs in a box motion, rather
than the historic arc motion. Box motion assures perfect feeding
throughout the entire feed process, as the feed dogs are always in
perfect and equal contact with the fabric and presser foot.
Threading the machine is so easy that you can have the entire
machine threaded, from the spool to the needle’s eye, in just six seconds
Automatic Locking
Stitch Function
Tie-off decorative and utility stitches with just a push of a button. This
feature ensures quality stitching and prevents unraveling.
Automatic Reverse
Push the conveniently located Automatic Reverse Button to sew in
reverse and reinforce the stitch.
Horizontal Threading
Allows for the thread to feed more evenly reducing poor stitch formation
and thread breakage.
High Sewing Speed
With a maximum sewing speed of 850 stitches-per-minute, projects
can be sewn quickly.
Automatic Bobbin
Winding Clutch
Needle bar automatically disengages when winding the bobbin,
making bobbin winding safer.
Direct Button
Stitch Selection
Provides direct access to eight of the most popular stitches including
straight, zigzag, blind hem and buttonhole.
Stitch Reference Chart
This chart, located on the upper lid of the machine, allows you to
quickly choose the perfect stitch for your project – eliminating tedious
screen searching.
Feature
Benefit
Automatic Tension
This system ensures stable stitch quality, regardless of fabric type. The
tension can be adjusted using the tension adjustment buttons, if desired.
Extra-High Presser
Foot Lifter
The Presser Foot Lifter has two heights. The second offers more clearance, which is needed when placing multiple layers of bulky fabric under
the presser foot.
Free Arm
Provides easy access to cuffs, collars, pant hems and other difficult-toreach areas.
Center Zigzag Taper
When tapering with the zigzag stitch, the stitch tapers to the center, not the
left or right. This feature is especially valuable when appliquéing, because it
provides a more attractive look when tapering into or out from a point.
Automatic Presser
Foot Pressure
Control
The amount of pressure exerted on the fabric by the presser foot against
the feed dogs is adjusted automatically. Sew from the lightest weight tricots
to the heaviest denim, without making adjustments.
Error Warning
On Board Storage
Snap-On
Presser Feet
Optimum Power Control
DC Motor
An audible warning alerts the sewer if something is incorrect. The audible
warning can be deactivated, if desired. A picture appears on the LCD
screen illustrating the probable error.
The accessories are conveniently stored in the removable sewing table,
providing easy access to accessories.
Easily change snap-on presser feet without use of a screwdriver.
A control system that senses when additional power is required to maintain
speed through thick or changing fabric conditions. This feature is most useful when sewing through multiple (6-8) layers of fabric.
Provides instant start and stop with no coasting, for accurate and precise
stitch placement.
