Key features
Select any point on the machine to read about that feature.
Single Head Four needle professional-style embroidery machine
Four needles hold four colours at once and the machine changes between them itself, so a four-colour design runs without re-threading.
5.7" Remote Computer Screen (RCS)
The screen is on a lead rather than fixed to the machine, so designs can be edited and positioned from wherever you are standing.
Jumbo bobbin is 1.4 times larger than a regular bobbin
The jumbo bobbin holds about 1.4 times what a regular bobbin does, which matters on dense designs that would otherwise run out mid-motif.
