Big Space, Bigger Potential
Tackle full-size quilts, garments, and large embroidery designs in a spacious 9.5″ x 14″ embroidery field. The Altair 2 also features 11.25 inches of workspace to the right of the needle — giving you plenty of room to work comfortably on any project.
Wireless IQ Intuition Technology
Use the IQ Intuition Positioning App to snap a photo of your hooped fabric and send it directly to your machine. Position your designs with lifelike accuracy — exactly where you want them, every time. The IQ Monitoring App also notifies you when stitching finishes or if a thread breaks or bobbin runs out.
