Revolutionary LED Lighting System

Developed by optronic experts, the working area involves a number of powerful LEDs mounted on the light module for a uniquely bright sewing experience that virtually eliminates shadows and blind spots. This illumination, combined with the light guide optics, ensures that exceptional light is cast throughout the entirety of the workspace, enabling fabric and stitches to be observed in true color. With this kind of clarity, anything that you can envision is yours to share.

Gracefully Sleek

A splendid combination of large sewing area and durable presence. It boasts the most generous working area available, optimized with a sewing head designed for visibility, so you can survey the area with great clarity. This spacious platform is complemented by the lightweight one-piece aluminum casting, which means the EPIC™ 980Q is the lightest machine in its class with the largest operating space. Durable, quiet and extremely stable, this machine stands still so you can make history.

Easy, Automatic Adjustment to Any Fabric

More Bobbin, Less Time
