Quality stitches begin with proper thread delivery. Placing the thread spool in the horizontal position allows for the thread to feed more evenly, reducing poor stitch formation and thread breakage.
Makes threading the eye of the needle quick and painless.
This mechanism incorporates a magnet-type vertical axis rotating hook that ensures smooth, quiet, thread jam resistant sewing. 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.

The needle bar automatically disengages when winding the bobbin. This keeps the needle from moving up and down while winding the bobbin, therefore making bobbin winding safer.
Buttonhole sewing is a one-step simple process, providing reliable re­sults every time.
Specially designed stitches that add strength and flexibility to seams, especially useful when sewing on knitwear and super-stretch fabrics.

7-Segment Feeding System
Box Feed
Drop Feed
Advantageous when placing multiple layers or bulky fabric under the presser foot.
Provides professional results and easy access to cuffs, collars, pant hems and other difficult-to-reach areas.
This is a specially designed feed dog 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.
A conveniently located lever lowers the feed dogs for free-motion embroidery, monograms and button sewing.
