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.

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.
