Compact MuVit Digital Dual Feed Foot

This new Brother Muvit is a digital dual-feed foot that allows you to easily feed a variety of materials (such as denim or silk).

The touch screen can be used to modify the unique digitally controlled direct motor powered foot to accommodate varied fabrics. Simply select the required feed using the plus and minus keys, then save the setting to memory for future use. When dual feed isn't needed, the foot can be turned off or removed easily.

This digitally controlled accessory foot is designed for difficult jobs that demand special handling, so you can trust that it will operate smoothly with just a touch.

LED Lighting and Spacious Work Area

You can illuminate your project with a 10" glow around the needle thanks to the improved LED illumination on the spacious 11.25" workstation.


Automatic Height Adjuster (AHA)

The AHA function keeps the presser foot pressure constant and helps maintain uniform stitch length on all fabric thicknesses, resulting in more consistent stitch quality over uneven surfaces.

Sideways and Directional Sewing

The machine sews straight and zigzag stitches not just forwards and backwards, but also sideways, making it ideal for stylish decorative mending. This machine can also stitch diagonally while using a straight stitch, in addition to stitching sideways.

Free-motion quilting and thread painting

Brother BQ2500 feed dogs

7 point feed dogs

Superior stitch quality is ensured by the box motion feeding action paired with the 7-point feed dog system. From sheer silk to denim, sew smooth seams on any weight of fabric. It also prevents the material from shrinking or moving throughout the stitching process.


Continuous Automatic Pressure System

The ICAPS feature keeps the presser foot pressure constant regardless of fabric thickness, ensuring uniform stitch length on all fabrics.
