Product Information

With a central panel including needle up/down button, slide speed controller, thread cutter and start/stop button, precision control is at your fingertips. The Innov-is M380D is equipped with upper and lower thread sensors that warn when thread is broken or has run out. Reach for the sky and take your crafting even further. With wireless connectivity you can transfer additional designs using Design Database Transfer (for Windows devices only), or connect to Artspira, our new creative hub. Here you will find free designs and projects, or even draw your own custom designs. Digital embroidery uses a computerised machine to do all the hard work for you! They come with a hoop or frame to hold your fabric, and the machine moves the fabric as well as the needle to create the desired design. It’s a pretty hands-off process other than when it comes to changing thread colour and possibly snipping the thread at the end of a stitch run.

Let’s take a look at what comes in the Brother Innov-is M280D’s box. You’ll have plenty of accessories to play with and every foot you’d use for any kind of sewing project you can think of, including machine embroidery. Remove the accessories storage compartment for free arm sewing. Sew small continuous items like armholes, cuffs etc with ease. Stitch excitement into every piece of embroidery on the Innov-is M380D with 200 built-in designs, of which 65 are Disney. Choose from 181 stitches built into the machine, giving you unlimited creativity. Also includes 10 one-step buttonhole styles.Free motion embroidery can be done on pretty much any normal sewing machine that will allow you to lower the feed dogs (so that you can move the fabric freely in any direction), and you can swap the normal sewing foot out of and replace it with a darning or embroidery foot. With free motion embroidery, you are essentially using the sewing machine needle like a pen and use it to draw around the edge of your fabric design.

While pressing in the lever on embroidery foot “Q” with your finger, fit the embroidery foot bar over the needle clamp screw.

When looking to buy an embroidery machine, it's important to consider the size of the projects you’re hoping to do. The bigger the design, the larger the hoop or frame. Larger frames not only take up more workspace but also bump up the price of the embroidery machine. Ability to add new designs No more stress when threading. Follow the thread guide, and use the needle threader lever with one finger. Adjusts speed from slow to fast. This can also be set to alter stitch width whilst sewing for zig-zag stitches. With on-screen editing you can take your creativity to infinity and beyond - flip, rotate, change the colour and repeat designs.
