Embroidery Features

Sewing Area - An impressive hooping area of 12" x 12" allows you to hoop large projects without having to re-hoop the garment. The narrow free arm allows you to embroider on sleeves and pant legs without having to open and close the seams. This machine allows for a lot of sewing flexibility.

Commercial Embroidery Speed - With a maximum speed of up to 1,000 stitches per minute, even large designs with high stitch counts are completed in practically no time.

12 Needles with Automatic Color Change and Thread Trim - Rather than stop, trim and rethread the machine for each color change this machine has 12 needles and 12 threads. This allows you to finish most projects in one operation from start to end. With the build in thread trimmer it eliminates the time consuming cleaning up of the design after the embroidery pattern is done.

Built In Bobbin Winder - You can wind bobbins while embroidering so there is no need to interrupt your work. For maximum productivity, you can use pre-wound bobbins for all applications.

Compact Dimensions - The machine only weighs 88 pounds and is considered a portable machine that can travel with you to shows or simply remain in your sewing area. The machine only requires a space measuring 13" w x 23" d x 30" h

dst Data Format and Design - Most embroidery software programs can save the designs in dst (dos tajima) format, including the Bernina Designer Plus and Editor Plus Software.  You can easily convert your existing design collections for use with the Happy Voyager.

USB and Serial Communication - The two communication ports allow you to transfer and load designs directly into the machine's memory. Happy Link software is already supplied with each machine to conduct the transfer.

Flash Memory Card Reader - Standard flash memory cards are used to transfer and load the designs into the machine and with a memory capacity of 250,000 stitches or 99 designs there is a lot of room for extra storage.

Rotary Thread Monitor Sensors - Accurately detects when the upper or the lower thread runs out or when a thread breakage occurs.

Safety Cover - Offers protection from fast moving external parts such as the take up levers.

Interface and Display Unit - The large color display and the easy to use control panel make it very simple to navigate and operate the machine. The moving cursor allows you to easily keep track of the stitching progress. The quick color setup feature allows you to allocate any of the 12 thread colors to the embroidery design. You can easily resume embroidery even if it was interrupted (e.g. if you had to turn off the machine at the end of the day or the if power was interrupted). The pictorial built-in help is always available with the touch of a button.

Machine Construction - This machine has the strengths of a commercial machine and is as friendly as a home sewing machine. The machine's true heritage is a commercial embroidery machine that has been made available for the home embroidery use.

Network Ready - If your embroidery business is outgrowing your single machine additional machines can easily be networked with the "Happy LAN" software provided.
