Brother Innov-is Stellaire XJ1

The Stellaire Innov-is XJ1 sewing and embroidery machine is designed for those whose creativity knows no bounds.

Express yourself with 727 built-in decorative stitches, and four sewing fonts and 727 embroidery designs, including Disney and monograms, colour shuffling and enhanced thread palettes.

The Stellaire’s new My Design Snap app allows you to use your mobile device for quick, easy and precise embroidery positioning. Just take a picture of your fabric in the special embroidery hoop and wirelessly send the data to your machine

The Stellaire also comes with My Design Center built in, for powerful, easy-to-use editing where you can create your own custom works of art, so there's no PC needed. You can draw straight into My Design Center using the Stellaire’s large touch screen, or import your own jpegs and turn them into embroidery. You can even pair My Design Center with My Design Snap to convert your own images into unique embroidery designs. You can ‘draw’ straight onto your fabrics, using the touchscreen to convert your designs into embroidery data.

With its 11.25” space from needle to arm, and extra large embroidery area of 240 x 360mm (9.5 x 14”) this machine allows you to work quickly and comfortably on bigger projects from quilts to curtains, wedding dresses to bulky coats, and with the bright 10.1” HD LCD display with five adjustable light settings, you can create at any time inspiration strikes!

PE Design 11 is an extremely sophisticated package offering huge amounts of editing and functionality. PE Design Plus 2 is more limited in its range but will still significantly add to your embrodery repertoire.  Please choose from the dropdown options available when placing your order.
