Standout Features
Free-Arm Design for Hard-to-Hoop Projects
Embroider where flatbed machines can’t reach. The Capella’s free-arm architecture gives you access to tubular or confined areas like inside pockets, tote bags, hats, and more.
Embroidery Crosshair Positioning Laser
Line it up like a pro. The built-in crosshair laser lets you preview and align your design precisely before the first stitch — ideal for perfect placement on curved or tight spaces.
TruView™ LCD Color Touchscreen
The high-resolution TruView touchscreen displays designs in stunning clarity. With over 260,000 colors, you’ll see exactly what you’re stitching — and make adjustments with confidence.
Large Embroidery Field
Enjoy a generous 7 ⅞” x 11 ¾” (200mm x 300mm) embroidery area that supports everything from monograms to multi-color masterpieces.
Powerful Editing Tools Onboard
Rotate, resize, mirror, combine, or duplicate designs right from the screen. The Capella even allows for multi-line text, custom spacing, and monochrome stitching — so you can go from idea to reality without external software.
Automatic Needle Threader + Thread Trimmer
Save time and eliminate hassle with an easy-to-use needle threader and automatic upper/lower thread cutter.
Quick-Set Bobbin Winder with Independent Motor
Winding bobbins is a breeze with the Capella’s built-in, independently powered winding system — it even auto-stops when full.
