IQ Visionary™ Projector- Precise Embroidery Placement

While in embroidery mode, choose from three different projection backgrounds (black, grey or white) based on fabric choices to see your design clearly. The needle drop laser is displayed in a point or a “T” pattern for an even more precise placement.

IQ Visionary-Perfect Sewing Placement

The Solaris Vision uses a variety of guideline markers and grids for perfect placement. While in sewing mode, switch between three different laser colors (red, green and white) for better visibility based on fabric choices.

10-5/8″ x 16″ & 10-5/8″ x 10-5/8″ Hoop Sizes
