Product Description
Upgrade your quilt making with the Brother Innov-ìs BQ2500 quilting sewing machine. Featuring a compact MuVit Digital Dual Feed that s easier to use than before, it offers increased visibility and better functioning with thicker materials, stitches forward and backward for unprecedented versatility. A large 7 colour LCD touchscreen display controls the machine via intuitive icons and lets you watch onscreen tutorials. Brighten your fabric with a 10-inch glow around the needle using the enhanced LED lighting on the generous 11.25" workspace. Expand your creativity with over 750 utility and decorative stitches, buttonhole styles, and fonts and use My Custom Stitch to create your own stitches and add some personalization. Enjoy the convenience of features like a pivot function that automatically lifts the presser foot leaving the needle in the fabric for easy cornering and fabric manipulation, and sideways and directional sewing that lets you sew straight or zigzag stitches not only forward and backward, but sideways too. You can even sew diagonally when using a straight stitch! Free-Motion Quilting and Thread Painting allows you to drop the feed dogs and install the included free-motion foot to guide the fabric freely by hand so that whether you're quilting a simple motif or thread painting an elaborate design, the machine is ready to go. The Automatic Height Adjuster (AHA) keeps presser-foot pressure constant ensuring consistent stitch length on all fabric thicknesses, producing more consistent stitch quality across uneven. Included with this machine is a Quilters Bundle containing attachments and add-ons like a wide table, an open toe foot for MuVit, a stitch in the ditch dual feed foot, and a 2-spool thread stand.
