A compact embroidery-only machine with a 100 × 100 mm embroidery area, 200 built-in designs (65 of them Disney) and a 3.7-inch colour touchscreen.
This is an embroidery-only machine; it has no sewing functions. It has 200 embroidery designs, 65 of them Disney designs, and 11 fonts. On the screen you can rotate a design, mirror it and change its size.
The embroidery area is 100 × 100 mm and one 10 × 10 cm embroidery hoop is included. You can transfer designs via the USB port or wireless LAN and connect to Brother's Artspira app.
Features
Colour touchscreen
You control all functions by touching the 3.7 inch colour LCD screen (432 × 240 pixels). The screen shows a realistic preview of the design.
Artspira and wireless LAN
Via wireless LAN you can transfer additional designs using the Design Database Transfer app (Windows devices only) or connect to Artspira. There you will find free designs and projects, or you can draw your own design.
Editing designs on the screen
You can rotate a design in steps of 1°, 10° or 90°, mirror it and change its size from 90 to 120 %. You can show several designs on the screen together and enter text in several lines. You can change the design colours on the screen, and in text even the colour of each character separately. The design can be moved with your finger, and its position can be checked before embroidering.

- After a thread break you can move the needle back a number of stitches and continue embroidering
- The LED work area light can be turned on or off in the settings screen
