Brother Australia Is Proud To Introduce THE Dream Machine XV8500D; The Ultimate Creative Partner

Brother International Australia, a leading manufacturer in home sewing machines, has recently announced the launch of its most powerful and innovative sewing and embroidery machine to date; THE Dream Machine XV8500D.

Under the tagline “Because we sew the world differently” Brother wants to portray how inspiration can come from anywhere in life at anytime. No matter how you sew the world, the new Dream Machine is the ultimate creative partner that will be with you throughout your journey. The new top of the range combo machine was presented for the first time at an exclusive dealer and media launch in Brisbane, the event was followed by the consumer premier at the Brisbane Craft & Quilt Fair.

Brother’s most powerful machine is packed full of industry features including a 10.1” high definition LCD display which runs the machine’s expansive library of built-in tutorials to make learning easy. The LCD screen is 23% larger than previous models and can even be used to watch videos or listen to music. The InnovEye 2 camera-like technology is another amazing feature, this technology gives users a live and up-close view of the needle area and the ability to scan the entire embroidery field, providing enthusiasts virtually endless creative options and ensuring projects are set up perfectly.

The machine has 56 square inches of workspace plus an extra-large 360 x 240mm embroidery area providing more room for big creative ideas. Another ground breaking feature is My Design Centre, which integrates InnovEye 2 Technology with design techniques such as line art scanning, illustration scanning and the ability to create stippling and free-motion-like stitching without the use of a PC, software or stitch regulation. THE Dream Machine also brings to the market the Virtual Stitch Preview, an industry first feature that lets users see their desired stitch superimposed on the project using InnovEye 2 technology and the HD LCD display, allowing users to modify stitch length and width and see the results before actually stitching.

"We're really excited about this new machine which provides sewing, embroidery, quilting and crafting enthusiasts with unlimited creativity options. For more than a century, Brother has won recognition as a brand synonymous with providing a great customer experience through product innovation and customer satisfaction. With THE Dream Machine, Brother has effectively exceeded all expectations by providing amazing industry first features that everyone is sure to love” stated Laura Penuela, Marketing Manager, Home Sewing Machines at Brother International Australia.
