4-in-1 Sewing, Embroidery,
Quilting and Serging
No need for multiple machines in your sewing room.
One machine, four functions—sewing, embroidery, quilting
and serging.
SwiftSmart™
Threading System
Simply guide the thread directly from the spool to the needle
area through a single groove and thread the needle by
pressing the threading lever for easy needle threading.
Independent Bobbin Winder Continue to sew while you fill another bobbin. No need to stop
sewing to refill a bobbin.
Drop & Sew™ Bobbin System No need to pull up the bobbin thread manually. Simply insert
the bobbin, place the thread in the channel and start sewing.
Long Arm Design Plenty of room for your biggest projects with 8.25 inches from
the needle to the tower.
Extra-Large Embroidery Field
Hoop size of over 6” x 10”, multi-hooping capabilities and an
easy snap-on style hoop makes embroidering large projects
simple and straight forward.
Multi-Hooping Capabilities with
Fabric Positioning System
Large multiple hoop embroidery designs can be easily created
on screen providing the sewer with the capability to precisely
match stitches and designs.
Electronic Auto Pilot
Unplug the foot control, press the Start button and the
machine sews. You are still in complete control over the speed
- just slide the Speed Limiting Lever to the desired speed.
Automatic Twin
Needle Function

by pushing a button. Create impressive and dramatic
decorative top stitching.

Feature Benefit
Automatic Tension Stable stitch quality no matter the type of fabric used.
Top Loading
Bobbin System with
Clear Cover
The bobbin loads from the top so it is easy to insert the
bobbin. The clear cover makes it effortless to monitor the
bobbin thread supply.
Optimum Power Control Provides precise power when sewing multiple layers or dense
fabric.
Drop Feed
Perfect for free-motion embroidery, machine embroidery,
monograms and attaching buttons without the need to attach
a darning plate.
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.
Heavy Duty Metal Frame This rigid support holds all the mechanisms in perfect
alignment for perfect, skip-free sewing.
30 Built-In Sewing Stitches
A large variety of stitches for clothing construction, decorative
sewing, heirloom sewing and quilting always ensures the
perfect stitch for every project.
2 Fully Automatic
1-Step Buttonholes A simple 1-step process that provides reliable, precisely balanced buttonholes every time.
Programmable Needle
Up/Down
Select whether the needle is in up or down position when the
machine stops based on your current sewing needs. Ideal for
quilting and appliquéing.
6 StayBright™ LED Lights
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.

Feature Benefit
Dual Accessory Tray More room in the removable extension table for storing accessories.
LED Indicator Light
Green light indicates the machine is ready to start. Red light indicates
the machine is operating. Flashing red light indicates a problem or
error.
Exclusive Buttonhole
Underplate
Sandwiches fabric between a lower plate and the foot to ensure per-
fect buttonholes on multiple layers of fabric. Effectively, this is like a
mini-embroidery hoop in which the machine feeds the attachment,
rather than the fabric. It makes creating buttonholes possible in places
that conventional buttonhole devices cannot easily reach.
Speed Control Lever
Slide the lever on the front of the machine to set the sewing speed
from slow to fast. When the foot pedal is used the lever functions as a
top speed limiter.
13 Needle Positions Needle position can be changed for individual projects, such as
inserting zippers or cording and topstitching.
