Exact Position with Smart Design Scaling

Enjoy absolute design placement and rotation with stitch-point accuracy. If any part of your design extends beyond your hoop limits, the enhanced Exact Position feature scales the design to fit beautifully. This feature is also essential for perfectly aligning multi-hoop projects.

Exact positioning on screen interface

Advanced Hoop Scanning

Perfectly match your design to whatever is already hooped—such as existing seams, patterned fabric, or previously stitched segments. Preview your end result directly on the digital screen, and adjust thread colors to complement your background fabric perfectly before sewing.

Smart Fabric Selection & Quick Quilt Settings

Simply input your fabric type on the screen, and the machine automatically optimizes the settings for your technique and stitch. For quilters, the brand-new Quick Quilt mode automates tension, turns off ActivStitch Technology, and engages the bobbin pick-up feature for a flawless quilt back.
