     Spacious: With 250 mm / 10 inches of space to the right of the
      needle, sewing projects can easily be made with exceptional
      amounts of fabric. Sewing tubular items like sleeves is
      convenient with the long slender free-arm. Adding a personal
      design to quilts through free-motion sewing and embroidery is
      now made easy.

     Bright: Dual lights illuminate the entire work area with no
      shadows and the large illuminated graphic display shows sewers
      the selected stitch in actual size at the recommended setting.
      With 37 different needle positions available for a straight
      stitch, sewers can stitch each stitch exactly where desired with
      a simple touch of a button.

     Precise: The Original IDT(TM) feature guarantees even fabric feed
      from top to bottom and the automatic tie-off at the beginning
      and end of each seam makes for a quick and easy finish. The
      electronic needle piercing power provides perfectly even
      stitches while the 9 mm wide decorative stitches, cross
      stitches, hemstitches and quilt stitches give a personal touch
      to all sewing projects.
