The exclusive Brother Quick-Set drop-in top bobbin helps ensure your bobbin stays in place, and helps provide the level of reliable, even stitch quality you need.

ONE-STEP, AUTO-SIZED BUTTONHOLES

Create buttonholes that are automatically sized to fit your specific buttons, and use the button sewing foot to then attach buttons to your project.

METAL NEEDLE PLATE

The strong, durable needle plate helps provide smoother fabric feeding for even sewing. The engraved measurements are useful guides to help you stitch in a straight line.

Included Accessory Feet

SPRING ACTION ZIGZAG FOOT

This foot is invaluable for sewing over varying fabric thicknesses, such as when hemming denim jeans. The built-in spring action helps the foot transition smoothly over the 'hills and valleys' of fabric layers, even when sewing over thick seams.

NONSTICK FOOT

The nonstick foot glides over difficult fabric surfaces with ease, helping to improve stitch quality. It helps ensure consistent feeding for fabrics such as leather, vinyl, suede and hook and loop tape.

BLIND STITCH FOOT ('R' FOOT)

Create virtually invisible blind hems on pant legs, sleeves and home decor projects, on a variety of fabrics. While designed for blind stitching, this foot also works well for edge stitching, lace and fabric edge joining.

BUTTONHOLE FOOT ('A' FOOT)

You'll be amazed how easy it is to create buttonholes with the built-in one-step buttonhole stitch and this useful foot! Your buttonholes will actually be custom-sized to fit your specific buttons.

BUTTON SEWING FOOT ('M' FOOT)

Instead of sewing buttons on by hand, save time and get better results by letting your machine take care of it with this included button sewing foot.

ZIPPER FOOT ('I' FOOT)

The design of this foot allows you to easily attach zippers on both the right and left sides. This foot can be positioned exactly on the edge of the zipper, for more precise placement.
