Room for quilts and larger projects
210mm workspace to the right of the needle

- Large 210 × 310mm bed area
- Convertible free arm
- Twin LED lighting

Manual presser-foot pressure adjustment remains available when the fabric or technique requires it.
- Responds to changing thickness
- Supports consistent stitch length
- Useful over bulky seams
- Helps with quilt layers

Custom and built-in sewing stitches can be combined, adjusted and stored in the machine’s memory.

Important information before purchasing
The Brother Innov-is NQ3700D is a domestic computerised sewing, quilting and single-needle embroidery machine. It is not a commercial multi-needle embroidery machine.
Its maximum embroidery area is 260 × 160mm. Larger designs must be reduced, split or repositioned using suitable embroidery software and techniques.
The machine changes embroidery colours manually. It stops at each colour stage so the upper thread can be changed.
Wi-Fi and Artspira functions require a compatible network, device and supported Brother software or account.
Design Database Transfer is intended for compatible Windows computers.
Good embroidery requires appropriate stabiliser, embroidery thread, bobbin thread, needle choice and secure hooping.
The NQ3700D uses flat embroidery frames and is not intended for finished structured caps in the way a commercial cap-frame machine is.
Disney and Pixar embroidery designs are supplied for use within the machine and remain subject to the applicable Brother and Disney licensing conditions.
