Move seamlessly from garment construction to large embroidery
The Innov-is NV2700 is designed for creators who want much more than a basic sewing and embroidery combination machine.

The large colour touchscreen, LED positioning pointer and automatic thread-management systems make both sewing and embroidery easier to control.

Position embroidery with greater confidence
Droplight LED positioning marker
The included Embroidery Foot U+ projects a red positioning light onto the project beneath the needle.
This helps confirm where the first stitches will land and makes it easier to align designs with seams, markings or existing decorative elements.
- Shows the approximate needle-drop point
- Improves monogram placement
- Helps align designs with markings
- Useful for quilt labels
- Supports precise repositioning
- LED pointer foot included
Connected embroidery
Wi-Fi, Artspira and wireless computer transfer
Connect the NV2700 to a compatible wireless network and transfer embroidery designs without repeatedly carrying a USB drive between devices.
Brother Artspira supports compatible mobile design browsing, personalisation and transfer.
Design Database Transfer allows supported embroidery files to be organised and sent from a compatible Windows computer.
Wireless transfer requires a compatible Wi-Fi network and supported Brother software or app. Design Database Transfer is intended for compatible Windows computers.
Reduce repeated rethreading
Embroidery colour sorting
When several embroidery elements are combined, colour sorting can group matching thread colours and change the stitching order.
This reduces unnecessary switching back and forth between the same colours and can make multi-element layouts faster to complete.
It is particularly useful when repeating one motif several times within the same hoop.
- Groups matching colours
- Reduces repeated thread changes
- Improves embroidery workflow
- Useful for repeated motifs
- Supports combined layouts
- Saves setup time
291
Built-in sewing stitches
Utility, stretch, quilting, decorative and lettering options for serious everyday sewing.
A complete advanced sewing machine
Garments, quilting, decorative sewing and alterations
Remove the embroidery unit and use the NV2700 as a spacious computerised sewing and quilting machine.
The stitch library includes utility, stretch, overcasting, quilting, heirloom, satin, decorative and sideways-feed patterns.
Five sewing fonts add names, labels and decorative text using ordinary feed-through stitching.
- Utility stitches
- Stretch stitches
- Overcasting stitches
- Quilting stitches
- Satin patterns
- Decorative stitches
- Sideways-feed designs
- Five sewing fonts
- Ten one-step buttonholes
- My Custom Stitch
Intelligent fabric control
Automatic Height Adjuster
Brother’s Automatic Height Adjuster senses changes in fabric thickness and helps maintain suitable presser-foot pressure.
This supports more consistent stitch length and feeding as the machine moves from a single layer into thicker seams or quilted sections.
Manual presser-foot pressure adjustment remains available when a particular fabric or sewing technique requires it.
- Responds to fabric thickness
- Supports even stitch formation
- Useful over seam intersections
- Helps with layered quilting
- Works with SFDS feeding
- Manual pressure adjustment available
Turn corners without losing alignment
Automatic pivot function
When pivot mode is active, the needle stops lowered in the fabric and the presser foot rises automatically.
Rotate or reposition the project with both hands, then resume sewing and allow the foot to lower automatically.
This is especially valuable for appliqué, quilting, bag making, top stitching and detailed garment work.
- Needle remains in the fabric
- Presser foot lifts automatically
- Faster cornering
- Smoother curves
- Improved appliqué control
- Useful for chain piecing
Four-direction sideways sewing
Supported straight and zigzag stitches can feed the fabric forwards, backwards and sideways.
This allows stitching to be added in areas where turning or rotating the entire project is difficult.
Patching
Sew around compact repairs without constantly rotating the garment.
Bag making
Reach awkward corners and structured sections more easily.
Decorative work
Create wider feed-through stitch effects using side movement.
Large projects
Add stitching where turning the full project is inconvenient.
Brother Square Feed Drive System
Brother’s longer seven-point feed system maintains broad contact with the underside of the fabric throughout the feeding cycle.
The square motion helps move the fabric evenly rather than allowing the feed dogs to drop away too early.
Combine SFDS with Automatic Height Adjuster or the included walking foot for excellent control over a wide variety of materials.
- Seven-point feed system
- Longer feed-dog contact
- Consistent stitch length
- Useful for quilting
- Supports garment construction
- Handles varied fabric weights
Premium quilting equipment included
Walking foot, 1/4-inch foot and free-motion feet
The NV2700 arrives ready for patchwork, straight-line quilting and free-motion work.
Use the 1/4-inch foot for accurate piecing, the walking foot for layered quilts and difficult fabrics, and the open-toe free-motion foot when guiding the project manually.
Quilting advantages
- Walking foot included
- 1/4-inch piecing foot included
- Free-motion open-toe foot included
- Open-toe foot included
- Quilting guide included
- Knee lift included
- Pivot function
- Built-in quilting stitches
Included knee lift
The knee lift raises the presser foot without requiring your hands to leave the fabric.
This is particularly useful while aligning patchwork, positioning appliqué, managing quilt layers and matching difficult seams.
Ten automatic one-step buttonholes
Place the button into Buttonhole Foot A and the machine uses it to establish the required buttonhole length.
The full buttonhole is sewn automatically in one continuous operation, helping produce consistent sizing across a garment.
- Ten buttonhole styles
- Automatic button measurement
- One-step sewing sequence
- Buttonhole Foot A included
- Repeatable sizing
- Suitable for garments, bags and home décor
Enhanced My Custom Stitch
My Custom Stitch allows individual stitch points to be placed on a grid to create original sewing patterns.
Built-in and custom stitches can be edited and combined, then stored in memory for future projects.
My Custom Stitch creates feed-through sewing stitches. It is separate from embroidery digitising and does not convert artwork into filled embroidery designs.
Advanced needle threading and Quick-Set Bobbin
Follow the marked upper-thread route and operate the threading lever to guide the thread through the needle eye.
Insert the bobbin from above, follow the marked bobbin path and begin sewing without manually drawing the bobbin thread through the needle plate.
Upper-thread and bobbin sensors stop the machine and display a warning when a thread breaks or the bobbin becomes low.
- Advanced needle threader
- Quick-Set Bobbin
- Top-loading horizontal bobbin
- Adjustable bobbin-winding speed
- Upper-thread sensor
- Bobbin-thread sensor
Automatic sewing and embroidery thread cutting
Press the cutter button at the end of a sewing seam and the machine trims both the upper and bobbin threads.
During compatible embroidery designs, jump stitches between separate design elements can also be cut automatically.
- Cuts upper sewing thread
- Cuts bobbin thread
- Programmable embroidery trimming
- Cuts compatible jump stitches
- Reduces manual finishing
- Useful for lettering and detailed motifs

Important information before purchasing
The Brother Innov-is NV2700 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. Designs larger than this 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 NV2700 uses flat embroidery hoops and is not intended to embroider finished structured caps in the way a commercial cap-frame machine can.
The optional wide table increases fabric support around the machine bed but does not increase the physical 210mm throat-space measurement.
