Quilting-Ready Workspace

The 8.3" needle-to-arm distance provides room to maneuver quilt layers without constant repositioning. The included wide table expands your work surface for larger projects. Longer feed dogs and the J foot work together to feed multiple fabric layers evenly, maintaining stitch consistency across seams and through batting.

Quilters Bundle Included

The BQ950 comes with a Quilters Bundle that includes a two-spool thread stand for king-size thread spools, a straight stitch foot, and a straight stitch needle plate for precise straight stitching on thin fabrics. These accessories are ready to use out of the box.

Convenience Features

The advanced needle threading system and automatic thread tension simplify setup. The jam-resistant Quick-Set drop-in bobbin loads quickly and runs smoothly. Sideways sewing capability and a lockstitch key add flexibility for specialty techniques and secure stitch endings.
