Overview

The complete package for all passionate sewers and quilters.

The Brother Innov-is VQ4 combines professional-level features, like the laser guideline marker, ultrasonic sensor pen and digital dual feed foot for perfect sewing results.

Choose from 473 built-in stitches - from functional and quilting stitches to wide decorative stitches. And if that is not enough, create your own with the My Custom Stitch function on the large 7 inch colour LCD screen.

With a working space of 285mm and the included wide extension table, you can sew large quilts or other bulky items with ease. The digital dual feed will sew thick layers and thin fabrics with the same ease. Great features like the pivot function, automatic trimming, automatic needle threader and central controls will provide you hours of sewing fun.

The laser guideline marker is the ultimate tool to help you guide your sewing, exactly where you want to sew. The ultrasonic sensor pen takes the guesswork out of where your needle will drop and you can use it to make sure stitching ends where you need it to ends.

The Innov-is VQ4 comes with a wide range of included accessories - quilting feet for the digital dual feed drive, a straight stitch needle plate for thin fabrics or small piecing parts, a multi-foot control and a knee lift which will allow you to keep your hands on your project for perfect and precise results.

Features in depth

Direct dual drive foot
This advanced foot allows you to feed an incredible array of fabrics (such as denim or silk) with incredible ease. The exclusive motor-driven dual drive foot can be directly adjusted to accommodate different fabrics from the touch screen.
Simply set the required feed, using the plus and minus keys, and save the settings to memory for ease and future use. When dual feed isn’t required, the foot can be switched off or easily removed.

Laser guideline marker
The Innov-is VQ4 includes an innovative laser guide that projects a perfect straight line onto your fabric. Simply guide your fabric along the line for straight sewing, and also for hems, piecing, pin tucking or cording.

The easy-to-use laser guide position can be adjusted within a 14 mm range using the LCD screen. (Use the ultrasonic pen to choose where you want the guideline, and the laser line will appear exactly where you need it.)

Hundreds of sewing stitches to select from
The Innov-is VQ4 contains hundreds of impressive utility, decorative and quilting stitches, including buttonholes and monogram fonts. If you can’t quite find the exact stitch you’re looking for, simply use the stitch editing feature to adjust the height, width and density of many of the built-in stitches, which can then be saved for future use.

The Innov-is VQ4 also allows you to be creative and combine stitches for decorative projects, letters for sentences or even name labels and memories for those special projects for loved ones.

Long arm sewing
The extra-large long arm (11 1/4”, 285 mm) gives you more space than ever. The Innov-is VQ4 gives a wider expanse of space for those extra-large quilting, fashion and home décor projects. It also comes with an wide extension table and a multi pin spool stand.

Large LCD touch screen
The large, bright, clear, full colour LCD touch screen display offers user-friendly controls to select stitches and features.

Fast sewing
With high speed 1,050 stitches per minute, the Innov-is VQ4 will complete your sewing and qulting projects quickly and smoothly.

My Custom Stitch™
No matter which style stitch you like, you have the freedom to create your own stitch directly on the LCD panel by using the My Custom Stitch’™ feature.

Ultrasonic pen
The ultrasonic pen lets you adjust zigzag or decorative stitches. Simply use the pen to adjust the stitch width and position effortlessly by just touching and tapping where you would like the stitch to start. Also mark how wide you want the stitch, sit back and let the Innov-is VQ4 to do the rest.

Needle position - Set straight stitch needle position by simply pointing to where you want to sew on the fabric and the Innovis VQ4 will start sewing on the line.

Easy finishing - Just like setting the start point, now you can set the endpoint for your stitches. Simply touch the position where you want to stop sewing and the machine will stop and tie off the stitch at that point. In addition, the Innov-is VQ4 will also automatically adjust the stitch to fit into the space – so relax, knowing that the VQ4 will intuitively stop at the end point without leaving a decorative stitch incomplete.

Ultra-bright feature lighting
The ultra-bright LED lighting gives a crisp bright natural light, so you can see colours and stitch details, no matter what your lighting conditions. The lighting brightness is fully adjustable, so you can set it at a level to suit you and your environment.

Central controls
Handy central controls help to make sewing simpler and electronic touch pads provide fingertip control of machine functions.

Automatic electronic needle threading

Threading the needle is so simple, at the touch of a button.

Slide speed control
Adjust the speed from slow to fast. This can also be set to alter stitch width whilst sewing.

ICAPS
The Innov-is VQ4 Continuous Automatic Pressure System (ICAPS), continuously detects fabric thickness whilst you sew and automatically adjusts the foot pressure to give superior even stitch quality when stitching over differing fabric thicknesses. This is especially useful for free motion embroidery and ensures super-smooth constant stitching throughout.
