Brother Luminaire 3 Innov-is XP3 with Stitch Vision Technology

Brother Luminaire 3 Innov-is XP3

The Brother Luminaire 3 Innov-is XP3 has enhanced the Stitch Vision technology with greater clarity and lightning-fast speed which gives you more capability to audition your entire embroidery area. This provides more accurate embroidery placement than ever before.

Brother XP3 Stitch Vision Technology

Achieve more precise placement of stitches and embroidery designs with the XP3’s Stitch Vision Technology, an industry-first feature that has been enhanced for greater accuracy. Now you can preview and edit your designs and stitches directly onto your fabric, before ever taking that first stitch, as the XP3 intelligently projects the stitch or design onto the 5″x 3″ virtual preview area.

Dual Purpose Stylus

Brother XP3 Dual Purpose Stylus

Projecting your selected stitch onto your fabric is just the beginning. Want to see how changing the stitch length or width, or position of the stitch, will look before you stitch-out? The included stylus interacts with your stitches right on the fabric, without you needing to go back and forth to the screen. You are also able to change the background color of the projection to black, white, or gray.

This stylus also has a soft tip on the other, to be used directly on the LCD screen, when you want to make adjustments on the screen.

Guideline Marker Lines and Grids

Brother Luminaire XP3

The Brother Luminaire 3 Innov-is XP3’s virtual preview area of 5″x3″ also displays guideline markers in single lines, double lines, angles and gridlines.

You’ll find this extremely useful for cross-hatch quilting, decorative stitches, pintucks, smocking, hems, and curtain rod pockets. The angle lines are an incredible tool for creating perfectly mitered corners, Y-seams, sashing strips, diamond cross-hatching, or square corners.
