Come get hands-on experience with THE Dream Machine and the ScanNCut! Read on to see how they’ll help you make projects you’ve only dreamed of!



Join us and discover zillions of ways to make appliqués!

• Learn how to make a quilt block with Brother’s ScanNCut and THE Dream Machine XV8500D.
• Create custom appliqués with ScanNCut for any of your quilting projects.
• Scan the shape you want and add beautiful stippling automatically around your appliqué. No computer required!


THE Dream Machine

THE Dream Machine is our most powerful, technologically advanced combination machine ever, with 100 new or improved features. Here are four ways THE Dream Machine makes embroidery fun & easy:

• At 10.1”, THE Dream Machine has the largest high-def LCD in its class—so you can view your creations in crisp, vivid colours and navigate like you do on a smart phone or tablet.
• It has our largest needle-to-arm, and 56 square inches of workspace—enough for a rolled king-size quilt!
• You can scan handwriting or line art, and then watch as it’s transformed into unique embroidery designs. Plus, you can draw directly on the LCD!
• You get dozens of Disney™ characters—like Winnie the Pooh, Piglet, Snow White, Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse—with every machine. And you can add them to any of your projects!

ScanNCut

ScanNCut is the world’s first home & hobby cutting machine with a built-in scanner. With its 300-DPI built-in scanner, it’s the only cutting machine that can take your scanned images, photos or hand-drawn sketches, and turn them into unique cutting designs. No need for a computer, software, or pricey cartridges!

New Machine from Brother at Quilt Canada 2016!

Brother is one of our generous sponsors, please read on about their new machine being launched at Quilt Canada 2016.

You’re invited to the launch of the New Persona Free-Motion Kit from Brother at Quilt Canada 2016.

Looking for more freedom in your sewing, quilting and embroidery projects?

Come meet the Brother Team at Quilt Canada for the launch of our new Persona Free-Motion Kit! This innovative kit easily transforms your PRS100 into the ultimate free-motion quilting & embroidery machine.

We can’t wait to meet you! Come by Booths 308, 310, 312 and 313 at any time, and we’ll be thrilled to give you a hands-on experience!

What’s “free motion”?

With free-motion embroidery, you control your every stitch. You have even greater freedom to “draw with your machine” and add your own free-motion embroidery designs and artwork. Crafting is about personal expression, so sometimes, it’s fun to cut yourself free of any restrictions and really let go!

With the free-motion kit, you can:

• Add free-motion stippling to quilts to achieve a personal finish.
• Create your own free-motion sewing designs and artwork.
• Get a huge area to work on.
• Easily adjust the maximum sewing speed using the on-screen speed adjustment, and save your top two speed settings on-screen.
• Set various vertical needle drop positions to suit the project, or your free-motion embroidery style.
• Use the foot pedal to keep your concentration—and both hands—on your work.
