The slide-on free arm extension table gives you extra space and comfort for large sewing or quilting projects. Decorative and quilting stitches for beautiful embellishments Of course you can hem and zigzag with the b79, sew stretchy T-shirt fabrics and choose between 17 buttonholes. But there is much more than just utility stitches: create truly exciting embellishments with 133 decorative and 35 quilting stitches. Want to modify the included stitches or create your own? Everything is possible with the Stitch Designer. Your individual stitch settings are saved temporarily, and you can store them in your personal memory for future projects. Tie-off function and automatic thread cutter With the automatic tie-off function you no longer have to stitch backwards to stop the seam unravelling. Simply press the tie-off button at the end of the seam, then the automatic thread cutter button - the threads are cut and your seam is finished. Want it even faster? Program these functions onto your foot control with back-kick function: tap your heel once and the seam is automatically finished and the threads cut. Even more convenient sewing With the semi-automatic needle threader, threading is a breeze - the presser foot is automatically lowered to the correct position and the additional thread cutter holds the thread in place. The knee lever for raising and lowering the presser foot makes sewing even more comfortable, as your hands are free to guide the fabric. And the easy-to-engage, integrated Dual Feed makes sure all kinds of materials are fed evenly from above and below. Embroidery module with three hoop sizes and hoop detection With three hoops included, it is easy to find the right hoop for each size of embroidery design. You can embroider motifs up to 260 x 160 mm without re-hooping. The hoops are easy to open and close with a quick-release system. Automatic hoop detection shows the embroidery area of each hoop on the touchscreen, so you can adapt your embroidery design perfectly. Creative possibilities with embroidery designs With 208 embroidery designs and 7 embroidery alphabets installed, a wide selection of motifs is at your fingertips. The motifs can be edited on the touchscreen, so you can easily rotate, flip or combine design elements. For the best sewing and embroidery results With the 7 mm stitch plate you can sew beautiful decorative stitches up to 7 mm wide. The straight stitch plate also comes as a standard accessory with the b79, for impeccable embroidery results. Your machine automatically detects the stitch plate fitted, shows you all the compatible needles and automatically adapts the stitch width range.
