And the Innov-is NV880E automatically detects fabric being sewn and adjusts the tension to suit.

With wireless connectivity you can wirelessly transfer embroidery data with the free Design Database Transfer programme (Available for Windows desktop operating system only). You can also use the function to easily keep up with Brother’s software developments. Or use the built-in USB port to add more patterns directly to the machine.
