Built-in stitches and fonts
The Innov-is XJ2 is bursting with 760 built-in decorative and utility stitches, including three brand-new sashiko stitches, stitch tapering function and the improved N Foot. Now even more decorative stitches are compatible with the included Dual Feed Foot. Love a certain stitch combination? You can combine built-in stitches to create a one-of-a-kind design that can be saved for future use. Simply select a stitch, preview, and edit with mirror image, length, width, and elongation tools. With My Custom Stitch™ you can create your own stitches straight into your machine via the LCD touchscreen. Save them to use time and time again.

Seeing straight
Sewing straight has never been easier than with the Stellaire’s built-in laser guide that extends up to 19mm. Easy to view on darker fabrics, it’s ideal for sewing straight parallel lines and darts. Sew decorative stitches at precisely the distance you’d like by guiding the fabric along the laser guideline.

Room to grow
With an impressive 11.25” (285mm) long arm you can take on projects large and small. From curtains and wedding dresses to bulky coats, there’s plenty of space to work quickly and comfortably.

Easily removable needle plate
Looking after your machine has never been easier with the redesigned pop-up needle plate and multi-tool. Switch between your standard needle plate, and the straight stitch needle plate, with ease.

Quilting features
The XJ2 is a quilter’s dream come true, graced with technological innovations that make quilting large, decorative projects so easy. With its impressive 11.25” (285mm) long arm the Stellaire gives you space to quilt, and then quilt some more.
You’ll achieve pinpoint accuracy using the laser line to stitch the smallest of allowances. Employ it to see where you’re stitching in the ditch – a must when working with dark or patterned fabrics.
You can achieve the sharpest of corners with the pivot function, and add texture to your quilts with the improved N foot and couching stitch function.
The XJ2 comes with Brother's improved Dual Feed Foot that powerfully feeds both top and
bottom fabrics at the same rate. There’s also a knee lift for hands- free sewing and an ergonomically designed multi-function foot control which can be programmed to cut threads, reverse stitchand more.

Easiest ever embroidery
The two-point positioning, matrix copy, presser foot auto down, new in-the-hoop patterns, decorative, echo and stippling function and No Sew setting will take your stitch outs to the stars and back.

Creative Yarn Couching

More choice, more makes
Always find the right design with the Stellaire’s built-in 889 embroidery patterns, inc. 101 Disney stitch outs. Now updated with over 80 new motifs including florals, butterflies, fonts, and more.

Make it yours

zoom. Add text, duplicate, rotate, mirror, and resize with no computer required. With the
ability to undo and redo up to ten times while editing, you don’t have to worry if you make
a mistake.

Bespoke letter design
Take your text editing skills to the next level with enhanced on-screen letter editing. Arc
text, place on a diagonal, resize, slice apart, and edit individual letters.

Stitch it again
With Stellaire’s border function, it’s easy to turn small designs into repeat edges for pillowcases, towels, curtains, and more. Want to make stand-alone repeats? The built-in appliqué patch function automatically calculates the best way to place multiple designs, so you’ll never waste precious fabric again.
