On the embroidery side, the MC9850 keeps things approachable and intuitive. On-screen editing lets you resize, rotate, combine, and adjust designs without needing additional software. With 175 built-in designs and monogramming support, you can start personalizing right out of the box.
With 1,000 stitches per minute (sewing) and 800 stitches per minute (embroidery), the MC9850 has the speed to keep projects moving while still feeling controlled. Features like automatic thread tension, memorized needle up/down, thread cutter, and extra high presser foot lift keep your workflow smooth and efficient.
