LARGER 9.5 X 14 INCH EMBROIDERY FRAME

Enjoy 56 square inches of workspace – enough room to accommodate your larger projects, such as bed quilts. Make your projects larger than life with the 9.5 x 14 inch frame. No more re-hooping when you want to combine 4 x 4 or 5 x 7 inch designs. This frame is large enough to combine designs so you can stitch them out in one hooping.

EMBROIDERY DESIGN EDITING

Easily edit your embroidery designs and fonts. Combine designs, add text to designs, duplicate, rotate, mirror and resize with stitch recalculation directly on the embroidery machine, no computer required. With the border function, begin with a small design and turn it into a border for pillowcases, towels, or curtains. With the ability to undo and redo up to 10 times while editing, you don't have to worry if you make a mistake.

ENHANCED LETTER EDITING

Take your text editing skills to the next level. The enhanced letter editing allows you to manipulate your text on screen. Arc text easily with the array tool or place it on a diagonal. Resize to a specific size, slice the text apart to edit individual letters. Letters can be moved up/down/left and right individually or as a group. The knife tool allows you to divide the letters and move them individually. The letters can be rotated and have different fonts applied to each letter if desired.

ENHANCED THREAD COLOR PALETTES

Our already generous thread color palette has been enhanced with the addition of Iris, Floriani, Simplicity, and Polyfast brands. You can even combine to use your favorite colors from multiple brands. Color shuffling has never been easier or given you more control. Choose the colors you wish to include in the embroidery design and save up to 9 different variations of the design to select your favorite color combination. For even more customization, after choosing the desired color combination, use the Editing function to resize your design with stitch recalculation to fit the embroidery design in the desired location, ensuring a lovely stitch out.

SEW STRAIGHT LASER VISION GUIDE

Sewing straight has never been easier with the built-in laser guide. The bright laser line makes it easy to view on darker fabrics, as well as the wide range that extends up to 19mm.

Sew decorative stitches at precisely the distance you’d like by setting the laser guide and guiding the fabric along the laser guideline.
