Advanced Fabric Handling with Floating Function
The adjustable floating function helps improve sewing consistency when working with multiple layers, textured materials, and projects that require careful fabric control.
By slightly raising the presser foot while sewing, the floating function can help reduce fabric drag, shifting, and wrinkles. The presser foot height indicator makes fine adjustments easier.
This feature is especially useful for quilt sandwiches, layered seams, upholstery-style projects, and specialty topstitching.
Heavy-Weight Thread & Topstitching Capability
The eXcellence 702PRO features a specialized heavy-weight threading path designed to support stronger, thicker threads commonly used for visible topstitching.
Create attractive straight seams and finishing details on suitable materials such as:
- Denim and jeans
- Canvas and utility fabrics
- Heavy cotton and twill
- Home decor fabrics
- Suitable leather and synthetic leather
- Layered quilting materials
Fabric and thread performance depends on material thickness, needle selection, and machine setup. Test specialty materials before beginning a project.
