HALO X 10 Needle Embroidery Machine
Ready to elevate your craft? The Halo X is waiting for you!
Introducing the Halo X, the latest innovation in embroidery technology, exclusively available in Australia through Echidna Sewing. This 10-Needle Embroidery Machine empowers you to create with ease, offering features like free-arm embroidery, real-time stitch simulation, rotary thread trimming, and impressive speed and efficiency. Despite its compact size, the Halo X delivers industrial-quality results and fits seamlessly into any workspace, whilst allowing you to tackle large projects and work on tubular items with precision.
Built for speed and convenience, the Halo X offers 10-needles for effortless colour switching, clean rotary thread trimming, and ultra-quiet operation. Designed with simplicity in mind, it’s easy to use even for beginners, allowing you to focus on your creativity. Best of all, it’s priced to be accessible, making professional-grade embroidery achievable for everyone.
Transform your embroidery experience with the Halo X
Free-arm, tubular embroidery machine
Tubular or free-arm embroidery is incredibly versatile, enabling you to easily hoop and embroider a wide variety of items, usually without needing to unpick seams. This design offers numerous possibilities, including the option to add a professional cap frame system.
Automatic 10 needles
The 10-needle automation eliminates the need to monitor thread colour changes or baby-sit your machine. This saves valuable time and boosts your efficiency, allowing you more time to expand your creative opportunities. The user-friendly interface is perfect for beginners and experts alike streamlining your workflow and enhancing your embroidery experience.
240mm x 360mm embroidery area
Large designs are always popular, and with an expansive embroidery area, you can create stunning quilt blocks, wall hangings, jacket backs, table mats, and much more.
Colour Touch Screen
The advanced 7” LCD color touch screen is incredibly user-friendly, featuring high brightness and intuitive navigation. Loaded with unique features, it is capable of storing over one hundred million stitches with a huge 4 million stitch limit on individual designs. Visually see exactly where your design will stitch in reference to the hoop selected. The screen can also be articulated to virtually any position to provide you with the ideal viewing angle. Plus, the handy top mounted stylus clamp ensures your stylus is always at in easy reach.
Quick access buttons
Quick access buttons on the Halo X tension head provide eye level instant control over essential functions like design positioning, hoop jogging and instant thread trimming.
Machine body made of Aluminum alloy casting for strength
Exceptional strength and durability is the best way to describe the robust construction on the Halo X ensuring the machine can withstand the rigors of high-speed stitching and heavy use, providing long-lasting performance. The aluminium alloy body not only enhances the machine's structural integrity but also contributes to its lightweight design, making it easier to transport and manoeuvre. Additionally, the sleek, modern appearance of the precision moulded outer covers add a touch of sophistication to any workspace, while ensuring reliable and precise embroidery results every time.
Automatic Thread Trimming & Jump Stitch Detection
Thread trimming is essential for any embroidery machine. When combined with jump stitch detection, which ties off and trims unwanted jump stitches, you'll have almost no unsightly threads to unpick or remove once the design is completed.
Rotary trimming
The rotary trimming feature improves thread trimming performance when compared to the traditional trimming method for most embroidery machines, boosting efficiency and the quality of the finished item. It’s far more forgiving on those very complex or difficult embroidery projects, neatly and consistently trimming every time, ensuring an exception finish and allowing you to focus on your creative process.

Flat Embroidery
While the Halo X is a Tubular Free Arm machine, that doesn’t mean it won’t excel with flat embroidery. The superior strength and design of the hoop driver assembly combined with the powerful computer-controlled step motors easily handles a wide range of flat projects like quilts or even horse rugs plus much more. It's excellent for quilt blocks and bulky items.
Real time stitch simulator
View your embroidery stitch out process and follow your designs on the screen. You will see exactly how your embroidered design will turn out! This feature also is invaluable when trying to jog forward or backwards through a design to find a specific start point.
Walk the outline
The 'Walk the Outline' feature enables users to observe the hoop position as it traces the design's outline. This functionality is excellent for verifying the design's position and ensuring it fits appropriately within the hoop, thereby enhancing precision and reducing errors—especially when positioning designs relative to a specific area on the fabric. It can be used with any hoop, round, rectangle, or square.
Built-in Fonts and Draw to Stitch/Doodle Pad Functions
Equipped with 36 scalable fonts that are built-in, you can design original monograms as high as 100mm. Additionally, you don't need computer software to make personalised signatures and design elements because you have the ability to draw on the screen.
Bright LED lighting
Make your workspace more visible by using the LED lighting option. Examine your projects in a well-lit, spacious workspace to ensure that you can notice every detail.
Customisable 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
Occasional thread breaks are inevitable, but the Halo efficiently detects them and automatically reverts up to 20 stitches before rethreading the needle, ensuring seamless stitching resumption.
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.
Easy hoop numbering system
The machine's innovative hoop numbering system and programmable hoop parameters makes it easy to ensure the correct hoop is selected for the job and more importantly prevents possible hoop strikes by the needle.
Self-Lubricating System
The Halo features a wick feed oil system to keep the needle bar drive mechanism running smoothly without requiring regular oiling by the user. Plus the removable front cover plates gives easy access to all 10 independent needle bars, making regular maintenance a breeze.
Adjustable Take Up Check Spring
The thread take-up check spring is essential for achieving a well-balanced stitch, which can vary based on the type of thread used, such as metallic threads or different weights of conventional embroidery thread.
USB connectivity
The machine features a USB port, making it easy to transfer patterns and designs. Uses industry-standard DST format.
Easy hassle free thread stand
With 10 needles, the Halo offers 10 threads, and its thread stand allows for easy spool color changes. You can use all types and sizes of embroidery thread spools, including economical 5000m cones. The thread tube delivery system minimizes tangles, ensuring hassle-free embroidery.
Thread tension adjustment
Adjust each thread tension individually using the dials on the top of the machine to achieve smooth, quality stitches.
Solid mobile steel stand included
Included with your Halo X machine, this high quality mobile stand offers convenience and vibration free operation. It features heavy-duty castors that allow for mobility and lockable feet to ensure stable sewing when in position.
Compact Footprint
The Halo X's compact design is great for limited spaces or portability, without sacrificing performance. It fits seamlessly into any environment, from home studios to small businesses, and its efficient design ensures easy access to all components, making it user-friendly and convenient.
Fast 1000 stitches per minute

10 out of 10 for Halo-X
By: Gail on 16 November 2024I received this machine a couple weeks ago. I'd never used an embroidery machine before but WOW was it ever easy to learn how to use. I did need to ask a couple of questions from Echidna, the staff were lovely, friendly and happy to answer my questions. For me it's a great start to my machine embroidery journey. Thank you Gary, Alec ,Sharon and all the others who have been so helpful to me.
