IQ INTUITION POSITIONING® APP

Use the IQ Intuition Positioning® App to take a photo of your fabric in a special hoop and transfer it wirelessly to the Altair. The image will display onscreen in lifelike color and sharp resolution, allowing you to position your design exactly where you want it, how you want it – every time.

9.5" X 14" EMBROIDERY FIELD

Stitch bigger embroidery designs and enjoy less re-hooping with a large embroidery field.

IQ DESIGNER

Create your own embroidery designs with ease. Take a photo with the IQ Intuition Positioning® App and wirelessly transmit it to the Altair! Draw directly on the screen or if you’re feeling inspired by an existing art file, simply upload it to the Altair through the USB drive. Your art will be instantly digitized with the colors and fill stitches you choose.

771 STITCHES

Altair is loaded with stitches, giving you plenty of options for every project. Best of all, you can combine them for countless stitch combinations and you can save them in memory to retrieve them at any time.

    I love my Altair....First Version

    My best machine, so far!

    Lady Altair machine...

    How many ways can you say "WONDERFUL"? This machine has so many features of high end machines for a more affordable price. Worth every penny. Maintain 1x a year. No issues with well over 2 million stitches! Yes, I use my machine just about every day. I owned another brand for 4 years (4 machines in that time). I had to make a change and am I so glad I did. Very intuitive - icons are similar to those we see on many computers so easy-peasy to learn your way around. The Altair is truly a joy to operate knowing my finished product will be lovely. Project back clean up is only a few beginning/end threads. I can't say enough about my Lady Altair!
