LED Lights
Three lights over the sewing area address a feature asked
for by consumers - better lighting! With lights on each
side of the needle area as well as one light over the large
surface to the right of the needle, it is easier to see your
work. An illuminated sewing area makes all your sewing
more precise. Sewing is also more pleasurable because
the well lighted sewing area reduces eye-stain often
caused by working in low lighting.
Effortless threading of the machine, including automatic

This mechanism incorporates a rotating hook that ensures
smooth, quiet jam-proof sewing. The bobbin loads from

Extra-High Presser Foot Lifter There are two heights to the presser foot lifter. The
second height offers a ¼” more clearance which is needed
when placing multiple layers or bulky fabrics under the
presser foot.
Vertical Spool Holder In addition to the machine’s horizontal thread delivery, a
second vertical spool holder is provided at the back of the
machine, specially designed for many of today’s threads.
Self-Lubricating Because the machine is permanently lubricated, there is
no need to oil the machine, and no oil gets on fabric.
Warning Signals Audible warning messages alert the sewer, ensuring
trouble-free sewing.
Aluminum Frame The internal skeleton of the sewing machine. This rigid
support holds all the mechanisms in perfect alignment for
perfect, skip-free sewing.

sewing, heirloom sewing and quilting always ensures the

Automatically reduces stitch width on decorative patterns
to prevent needle breakage when sewing with twin needle.
Pin Stitch, Blanket Stitch, and Entredeux are a few of the
popular heirloom stitches available.
7mm Stitch Width Most stitches can be set for a maximum width of 7mm.
When sewing decorative stitches or satin stitches, the wide
stitches are bolder and more pronounced.
One-Step Built-In Buttonholes Choose from 6 different one-step buttonholes. Buttonhole
sewing is a one-step simple process that provides reliable
results because the sides of the buttonhole sew the same
direction to prevent gaps in stitching or fabric distortion.

buttonholes possible in places that conventional buttonhole
devices cannot easily reach.
New:
Programmable Needle Up and
Down
Select whether the needle is in up or down position when
the machine stops. It is beneficial to have the needle stop
in the down position when appliquéing, quilting or pivoting
fabric. When removing fabric or picking the bobbin thread
up, program the needle to raise to the highest position.
