E8600
This machine does it all – from just-for-fun creations to elegant embroidery. With the Xplore computerized sewing and embroidery machine, one minute you'll be sewing an apron for gardening, the next you'll be embellishing it with embroidery. And there's also a wonderful selection of quilting and heirloom stitches available, if that's where your interest lies.

A must for embroidery, now you'll find the Start/Stop key just as valuable for traditional sewing. It's so handy for applications like buttonholes, eyelets, bartacks, etc. - anything that requires a steady, consistent speed.
You'll like the built-in carriage. No separate embroidery unit to attach, remove and store. One minute you're inserting a zipper, the next you're embroidering. And the feed dog adjusts itself to the task as needed. It automatically drops down when embroidery sewing, basting stitch or button sewing is selected. Select a different stitch and the feed dog rises into place.
The large, color LCD screen (94 mm x 71 mm – 3 ¾" x 2 ¾") guides you through. Just a light touch accesses information, instructions and advisory messages. Everything is clear and concise, right in plain sight.
Come explore all the decorative possibilities. Choose from cross stitches, quilt stitches, heirloom stitches, florals, satin stitches, a comprehensive alphabet. Looking for more? Simply switch to embroidery mode and you're ready to embroider a built-in design or alphabet.
Manipulate the stitch to your liking. Elongate satin stitches up to 5 times their original length. Change width and length. Use mirror image to flip stitches for a different effect.
Personalize practically anything with the two or three letter monograms. Add a classic frame or encase the monogram within other designs. Select from Gothic, Script or Cheltenham built-in fonts to embroider your entire name.
