Brother VR

This single needle embroidery machine offers free-arm embroidery and free motion sewing/quilting capabilities and can deliver an incredible 1,000 stitches per minute without compromising on quality.

It  has 305 embroidery patterns and 20 embroidery fonts, plus an LED position pointer to ensure accurate needle placement.  The colour sorting function means fewer thread changes, allowing you to complete multi-coloured embroidery designs more quickly. And thanks to the VR’s generous embroidery area, you can create large, complex patterns without even having to re-hoop. The large LCD screen makes edits and adjustments easy, and the USB port allows import of new designs

The VR lets you easily customise everything from towels and clothes to bags and quilts, with professional results
