Embroidery - New and enhanced embroidery features give the Quattro 6000D a definitive step-up from the competition. Embroidery designs can be duplicated —virtually an unlimited number of times—in the embroidery edit mode without returning to the selection screen. Designs are rendered instantaneously, 3 times faster than previous models. Zoom in and out for a microscopic view of designs. The Quattro 6000D screen shows you the size of the hoop and time required to stitch designs thus shortening the planning time needed for your projects. One-touch access opens a world of embroidery editing capabilities for improved design work. Change the background color of embroidery designs for editing ease and greater visibility during the preview process. Choose from 66 colors for a realistic preview.

For the first time on any of our embroidery models, you can combine embroidery designs with decorative stitches for even more artistic variety.

The Quattro 6000D comes with 3 built-in USB ports:

* One high-speed 2.0 port to transfer designs even faster from any standard storage media or from the new optional external card reader.
* A second port for machine peripherals.
* A third port for computer connectivity for design import/export, screen saver import and for downloading software updates from www.brother.com.

Sewing - Improvements start at the needle with the Quattro 6000D. The enhanced threading system threads the needle with a push of a button giving you a time-saving convenience. Threading is accomplished regardless of variations in needle size and thread type. Upper thread tension adjusts automatically for more reliable stitch work. The bobbin winding system boasts improved tension and features an adjustable winding speed giving you high-performance bobbins. Wind specialty thread, including taut metallics, without stretching, breaking or distorting the thread. Accuracy is even more exact with the enhanced thread sensor, leaving low levels of thread on the bobbin.

Adjust the knee lifter lever in three different positions to match your optimum sewing position. Avoid the stress of fabric getting caught on the presser foot lever with its new placement on the back of the machine.

The needle position ensures agradual approach to the fabric with three varying needle heights. Realistic stitch rendering shows detailed thread work on your chosen design with a rendering speed incomparable to any competitor.

Stitch large quilts with fluidity using the optional extra-large extension table and generous work area. Utilizing the new InnovEye Technology, create beautiful edge-sewing with straight 1/4” seams.

Theadjustable presser foot height makes free-motion quilting and pivoting even easier on any type of fabric.

Lightning-quick pivoting is enabled by the pivoting function, which allows you to leave the needle down and the presser foot up to turn perfect corners

TheAutomatic Height Adjuster (AHA) feature continuously detects fabric thickness and automatically adjusts the presser foot pressure to ensure precise, smooth and even stitching over a variety of fabric thicknesses.

The“pointing needle” feature helps you line up the needle for perfect appliqués before it pierces the fabric. Quilt gracefully with the Quattro 6000D. Sew quilting lines equal distance around an appliqué or motif for beautiful echo quilting.
