TruView LCD Color Touch Screen

This high-definition TruView LCD color touch screen brings your embroidery designs to life. It displays more than 260,000 colors, providing a bold and vivid image to aid the embroiderer in editing and perfecting each design.

With its single needle and free arm, the Alliance is built to embroider items and three-dimensional spaces that are difficult for typical embroidery machines, such as inside pockets, embroiderable stuffed animals, or even shoes.

Needle Beam for Embroidery

The Needle Beam highlights your needle position so you know exactly where your embroidery will start. That means perfect placement every time.

Embroider at 1,000 SPM

Embrace larger, multicolored designs and watch them stitch in no time! The Alliance reliably works up to 1,000 stitches per minute.

Large Embroidery Field

In addition to its ability to negotiate tight spaces, the Alliance can expand its reach to an 8” x 8” hoop, giving the dedicated home embroiderer or business startup room to create.

Optional Cap Hoop and Cap Set

Embroider caps with speed and ease with this cap frame for your multi-needle embroidery machines. This snap-on frame allows you to effortlessly embroider along the curve of any cap. With additional cap frames, you can save time by having several caps hooped and ready to snap-in.

Automatic Needle Threader

Get the stitching started with worry-free threading. The automatic needle threader puts your thread through the needle so you are ready to begin stitching.

Multi-line Text & Justification

Now you can create multiple lines of text quickly and easily, without the need for constant rehooping. Plus, you can center or justify your text alignment to get precisely the look you desire.

25 Built-in Fonts

25 built-in, editable fonts to help you make every project unique, including a Large Floral Alphabet, Greek Letters, Large Applique Alphabet, and a Baby Lock exclusive font.

2 USB Drives (1 Type A, 1 Type B)

Use USB connectivity to quickly import designs to your machine from a computer, flash drive or CD-ROM drive. The Alliance USB drives support multiple design software formats.

Convenient Bobbin System

This front-loading bobbin system with a vertical hook makes bobbin changes a cinch. You never have to remove your embroidery hoop.

Quick-Set, Built-in Bobbin Winder
