Integrated Dual Feed System (IDT)

IDT is the secret to a perfect seam, and its one of the main reasons why the 2048 is so wonderful for quilters. The fabric is fed from the top and the bottom at the same time, at any stitch, and no matter the stitch length or width.

The result: absolutely no fabric slippage. Whether you're sewing forwards of backwards. Perfect for quilting.

Several layers, fine fabrics, long seams, everything is fed perfectly and evenly with no slipping.

So many Decorative Stitches available

Needle Up/Down

Needle up/down lets you tell the machine where to leave the needle when you stop sewing.

This makes corner-turning a joy, and allows you to shift your hands on long seams, or whilst making sweeping curves or stitching applique.
