Jennene from Brother will be here to show off the fantastic new features of the Brother NV6000D Quattro’s first upgrade package. Features include:

The features are very exciting in that the InnovEye, which is a built in camera which can be used to scan anything hooped and display it on the LCD screen. See the design superimposed on the scanned image for perfect alignment and realistic viewing.

Auto resizing and stitch recalculator done almost instantly! Designs can be resized from 60% to 200% in 5% increments right in the machine. Manual control of density of designs can also be done to maximize stitch density for best fill.

Specialty bobbin work bobbin case made especially for embellishing projects that look like they were done by hand.

A new bobbin case cover for the bobbin work that has “ribs” that press down on the bobbin so that it is not lifted out when using thicker threads.

Bobbin work embroidery patterns are built into the machine, all fourteen from size 4×4 up to 8×12.

A new connected Cursive embroidery font that stitches out beautifully.

Center Scanning function takes the guess work out of deciding where to put the snowman. Now the InnnovEye will scan at the center intersection of all four quadrants.

A Grid is displayed when the InnovEye technology is enabled and can be used in either sewing or embroidery mode for more perfect alignment of the needle.

Needle magnification is now 200% .

Patterns can also be magnified to 200%.

Screen Shot Capturing function has the ability to save a camera image on the LCD so the Dealer/Technician will have the ability to view information and troubleshoot from their computer. A real bonus for customer service.

Fabric thickness sensor that is an image capturing function for detecting the highs and lows in textured fabrics, such as in quilt blocks.

Thumbnails are now 1.5 times larger for easy viewing of designs and patterns can also be magnified to 200% in the edit screen.

Continuous scrolling of designs can be done without having to go back page by page.

Improved preview and realistic views now have jump stitches removed between alphabet letters in sewing mode, satin elements and twin needle sewing appears as two lines of stitching just like it does in stitching.

And now there are more languages too.
