Dream from Your Fingertips

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.
Fully Automatic Needle Threading
With one touch of a button your needle is threaded and ready to sew. Another way you'll get from "idea to done" in no time.
More Bobbin, Less Time
Large bobbins mean you can do more sewing before it's time to change your bobbin. A separate bobbin winding motor is placed on the side of the machine - a real time-saver that can wind your bobbin as you sew.

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.

With this kind of clarity, anything that you can envision is yours to share.
