Brother Innov-is BQ3100

For the Modern Quilter

Designed with quilters in mind, the versatile and stylish Innov-i­s BQ3100 is ideal for sewists interested in creating garments and home decor. Combining built-in features like automatic height adjustment, the pivot function, 729 built-in stitches (plus an additional 30 on the included CD), 14 one-step auto-size buttonhole styles, and a variety of presser feet, the BQ3100 is straightforward enough for an ambitious beginner and entirely sufficient for experienced sewists seeking an upgrade.

Building on Brother's sterling reputation, the Quilt Club machines are more attractive than ever. The latest addition to the Quilt Club family, the feature-rich Innov-ís BQ3100, is for quiltmaking and general sewing. Combining premium features such as 729 built-in utility and decorative stitches, a 7" LCD touchscreen display, and a generous 11.25" workspace, the BQ3100 is designed for quiltmakers and sewists who are dreaming of doing more with their machines. The enhanced Compact MuVit Dual Feed Foot is compatible with over 100 stitch designs in various styles, perfect for quilting and sewing traditionally tricky fabrics such as velvet or plaid. The automatic presser foot lifter and the Pivot Function let you breeze through complex quilting designs without repeated stops to readjust. The decorative stitches benefit from technology like the Back to Beginning key and auto-lockstitch setting, and the 14 one-step auto-size buttonholes are both beautiful and very easy to stitch with the BQ3100.

Main Features
Compact MuVit Digital Dual Feed
The Compact MuVit Digital Dual Feed gives you better visibility and better functioning with thicker materials. Stitches forward and backward for unprecedented versatility and comes with various stitches chosen specifically to use with the Dual Feed.

Computer Compatibility 
With a full USB port, the BQ3100 easily accepts USB media for adding or saving additional stitches. Alternatively, use the port to connect a USB mouse (not included) to use with the machine’s screen. Connect the BQ3100 to your computer for easy software updates and upgrades.

Sew Straight Stitches
When it comes time to quilt, piece, or sew, align rows of decorative stitches in smooth straight lines with the Sew Straight Laser Vision Guide.

V-Sonic Pen for Sewing
Touch the fabric with the sensor pen for needle placement, stitch width setting, and positioning the endpoint of a line of stitches. Simply touch and sew.

Pivot Function
The presser foot automatically lifts while the needle remains in the fabric for fast and easy cornering and fabric manipulation.

Automatic Height Adjuster (AHA)
The AHA feature helps ensure consistent stitch length on all fabric thicknesses by keeping the presser foot pressure constant – regardless of fabric thickness – producing more consistent stitch quality across uneven surfaces.
