Let’s see what else this machine has to offer you.
120 built-in stitches

The stitch collection has a group of decorative stitches. When doing any creative project, the decorative stitches will help you to create exquisite designs.
820 stitches per-minute
It is a fairly fast machine. That’s quite obvious for the stitch production range. With these 820 stitches per minute, you will be able to finish projects faster and easier. The stitches’ quality will not be compromised for different types of materials and different thicknesses of materials. All machines in this category don’t have this stitch production range. Gladly, this machine will ease your sewing process with its stitch production.
Stitching pattern
You will find various fonts for making letters on garments. This is a unique feature for a machine that is suitable for novice sewists. You can personalize any signs or symbols with the pattern.
The letter and number patterns you will be getting in this machine are- English, Cyrillic, European fonts, numbers, French accent, etc. It seems like this machine is adept at boosting the user’s creativity. Even if you can’t figure out any artistic flair for a project, the machine will be there to help you thoroughly.
Top-loading Bobbin
This is a convenient feature for users. The front-loading bobbin is a little difficult for installing bobbins. From the top, it’s easier to see the bobbin’s shuttle, and you can slide the bobbin without spending much time on it.
Automatic Thread Tension
For beginners, setting the right thread tension can be tough. Incorrect thread tension can cause the needle to break. Also, the machine will be producing imperfect stitches. Stitches can get tangles on the fabric as well. This has been made easier for the users.
One-Hand Needle Threader
This machine also has the feature of an automatic needle threading process. Threading a needle can be a nerve-wracking job sometimes. It’s very unusual for a sewist to thread a needle in one try! Manual threading is a time-consuming process. With this one-hand, needle threader, you will be able to complete the threading needle in no time!
Adjusting Foot Pressure
No matter what speed the machine is creating stitches, you can control the stitching process by pressing the foot pedal. This confirms excellent and proper stitches regardless of the setting.
Internal Metal Cast
This machine lasts longer for its metal interior. You don’t always find a machine of this category to have internal metal formation. For metal construction, this machine sits stable during operation and ensures flawless stitches.
Extra-High Pressure Foot
You can slide a thicker layer of materials under pressure by lifting it extra high. It can be hard to place materials under the pressure foot. Hence, in this machine, placing girthy materials are easier.
Extra Width For Decorative Stitch
Decorative stitches require more space than straight stitches. And you can set the required width with the desired seam allowance in a stitch style by changing the needle position sidewise.
Enhanced Feed System
It’s truly a technologically advanced machine. This machine has a sophisticated feed-dog system, and this is not like other machines. You won’t find this feature in many machines. The specialty of this particular feed-dogs engineering is the feed-dogs stay on the level of the throat plate.
You might wonder how materials can be dragged forward this way? Materials still can be moved forward with this sort of feed-dogs. Also, it assures well-defined and straight stitches.
Reverse Stitch Button
You won’t have to stop the stitching process and move the fabric to backstitch it. You can press the reverse button and stitch reversely without moving or flipping a piece of fabric.
Wide Throat Plate
This allows the materials to move freely underneath the needle. You can set certain materials properly on the plate with your hand and confirms the machine is stitching it accurately.
70 Needle Position With Stitch Adjustment
Changing the needle position is a part of a project. You can’t perform a project smoothly with a pre-set needle position. Even if you can, it takes a lot of time, making it hard to finish a project.
That might cause you to get annoyed with the sewing process. However, you can set the needle in a huge number of positions in this machine. Hence, performing various projects is enjoyable and smooth with this machine.
