Embroider like a pro with easy-to-use features
Free-arm, tubular embroidery machine
The tubular or free-arm machine design is the most versatile style of embroidery machine and allows you to hoop and embroider a huge range of items with ease, usually without the need to unpick seams. It opens a world of opportunity and even includes the professional cap frame system as standard.
Automatic 15 needles
15 needle automation means you don’t have to babysit your machine to change thread colours. The intelligent control panel will automatically select and move the needle head to the next colour, and start stitching without your input. Repeat colours are also automatically selected and forced colour stops for applique, badges and in the hoop embroidery projects are easily set.
Large 400mm x 600mm embroidery area
A large embroidery area provides greater flexibility and is ideal for creating bespoke embroidered fabric, badges and patches, quilt blocks, wall hangings and home décor items. The included large sash/badge frame has a embroidery area of 600mm x 400mm without the need to re-hoop the fabric.
Solid mobile steel stand included
Featuring heavy duty lockable castors, this high quality all steel mobile stand offers great mobility and vibration free operation and is supplied as standard with the Halo-1501 Pro.
10” Colour Touch Screen with user-friendly controls
Easy to use and packed with features is the best way to describe the advanced 10” LCD colour touch screen and it's the perfect command centre for your embroidery production. Industry-standard DST format designs are loaded via a simple no-fuss USB port. Plus the Halo-1501 Pro is capable of storing over one hundred million stitches with a huge 4 million stitch limit on individual designs. The selectable hoop option allows you to visually see exactly where your design will stitch in reference to the hoop which greatly aids design placement.
Built-in Fonts
Supplied with 5 built-in scalable fonts, you can create text and monograms up to 100mm high without the need for additional software. Ideal for quick name or business personalization requirements.
Real time stitch simulator
Track your designs on-screen and preview your embroidery stitch-out progress, which is also invaluable when jogging forward or backward through the design.
Bright LED lighting
Illuminate your work area with the flexible LED lighting feature. View your projects and aid the needle threading process with a clear bright workspace so you can see every detail.
Customizable Thread Colour palette
Assign thread colours on-screen to similarly match the actual colours on the machine. This makes setting the design colour selection and sequencing a breeze.
Automatic thread break detection spinners
Thread breaks happen from time to time but the Halo will reliably and quickly detect a thread break and automatically backtrack up to 9 stitches prior to rethreading the needle to ensure perfect resumption of stitching. Additional backtracking is easily accessible when required.
Included hoops & cap frames
The Halo-1501 Pro is supplied with a set of each of the most popular hoop sizes. These include:
- 90mm round (2)
- 120mm round (2)
- 150mm round (2)
- 190mm round (2)
- 300mm x 300mm (2)
- 580mm x 360mm (1)
- 400mm x 600mm Sash Frame (1)
- Cap frame kit (includes driver set, cap station, and 2 x cap frames)
Round hoops provide superior fabric-holding capabilities and cap frames are a fantastic tool to have handy for embroidering on caps and expanding your project range. These hoop sets are a standard inclusion with the machine.
LED laser light positioning system
The built-in LED laser pointer shows the position of the needle drop point and makes for easy design placement and tracing.
Thread tension adjustment
Adjust each thread tension individually using the dials on the top of the machine to achieve smooth, quality stitches.
Independent bobbin winder included
Wind bobbins independently using a fast commercial style bobbin winding unit. It features an adjustable auto stop function to prevent over winding.
Adjustable Take Up Check Spring
The thread take-up check spring is integral to a well-balanced stitch which can vary depending on the type of thread you use, such as metallic or even the different weights of a conventional embroidery thread.
Automatic Thread Trimming & Jump Stitch Detection
Thread trimming is a must-have on any embroidery machine but combined with jump stitch detection which will tie off and trim those unwanted jump stitches, you’ll have virtually no unsightly threads to unpick or remove when the design is completed.
Self-Lubricating System
The Halo features a wick feed oil system to keep the needle bar mechanisms running smoothly without requiring regular oiling by the user.
Fast 1200 stitches per minute
The Halo is fast with an industrial grade servo motor to handle a genuine speed of 1200 stitches per minute. The heavy-duty step motors that drive the embroidery frame ensure precise accuracy regardless of the item being embroidered.
USB connectivity
The machine features a USB port, making it easy to transfer patterns and designs. Uses industry-standard DST format.
Maintenance tool kit included
Maintaining your embroidery machine is important and the Halo is supplied with a quality tool kit to keep your machine up to scratch.
Wide Table Support Platform included
The included support platform is required when using the 600mm x 400mm sash frame and is also a huge benefit when embroidering heavy items like bathrobes and large towels. It helps prevent the possibility of the item popping out of the hoop while stitching.
Easy hassle free thread stand
15 needles means 15 threads and the Halo thread stand allows easy access for changing spool colours. Plus you can use all types and sizes of embroidery thread spools, including the economical 5000m cones. The thread tube delivery system ensures less tangles for hassle free embroidery.
Cap frame kit included
Designed for precision and ease, these cap frames allow you to effortlessly embroider on various cap styles. Whether you're adding a logo or personalising with a monogram, the Halo-1501 Pro ensures your designs are stitched out flawlessly every time. Complete with the driver, mounting jig, two frames and featuring a simple attachment process, these cap frames are just another tool to both expand your creativity and potentially increase your profitability.
