NeedleCam Digital Camera

The NeedleCam™ Digital Camera lets you see from the needle’s point of view, so you know exactly where the needle will drop. Also, you can use the Perfect Positioning stickers included with your Valiant to place every design with extreme precision.

5 LED Lights

The 5 LED lights help illuminate your work area and also come with dimming settings to create your perfect workspace.

Edit Designs On Screen

With the Valiant’s editing features, you can combine, reposition, resize, rotate and mirror embroidery designs and watch as the changes instantly appear on the LCD screen. Alter design elements individually, or group them to easily move or edit them collectively.

LED Spool Stand Lights

The Valiant has many features built-in to help you concentrate on the art of embroidery instead of the mechanics. The 10 LED spool stand lights help keep your thread colors coordinated, and signal when a spool needs to be changed. Plus, the push-button needle threader makes thread changes effortless.
