Connectivity
Whether you use a memory card, external floppy, flash, or CD drive, the Ellegante2 has you covered. Also, with direct connect to a PC, you can update your machine’s software in a snap.
Continuous Border
Any design can become a continuous border. Choose a design from the Ellegante2 library or bring in one of your own to create a truly unique endless border. You'll love how simple it is to add beautiful embroidery on the edge of tablecloths, curtains, or clothing. You can even make your own lace and trim.
Quick-Set, Top-Loading Bobbin
The top loading bobbin case lets you focus on your sewing. It's jam-proof because the top-loading bobbin keeps the thread right where you need it.
Embroidery Editing On-Screen
Turn your design into exactly what you had in mind. Resize, reposition and preview designs before sewing them out.
Automatic Needle Threading
Quickly and easily change embroidery threads with the On Request™ Automatic Needle Threading System. Simply push a button and the Ellegante2 does the rest, threading the needle in only 4 seconds. Switching out threads is so convenient you'll never have to limit the number of colors in your designs.
Quickly Switch from Embroidery to Sewing
Some projects require you to both sew and embroider. Now, with a flip of a switch, you can embroider or sew with the embroidery unit on. No need to take off the embroidery unit to restart the machine.
