Box motion assures perfect feeding throughout the entire feed process, as the feed dogs are always in perfect and equal contact with the fabric and presser foot. 215 Built-In Stitches 9 Essential Stitches, 6 Stretch Stitches, 17 Quilting Stitches, 176 Decorative Stitches, 6 Buttonholes 6 Fully Automatic Built-In Buttonhole Styles Buttonhole sewing is a fully automatic one-step simple process providing reliable results every time.
