Our standard width fabric can be cut as a Fat Quarter, measuring 50cm x 1/2 the width of the bolt. Above is an example of how your fabric will be received, depending on the quantity ordered.
We also offer a sample service, where you can order 1 single fat quarter of any standard width fabric, to have at home and compare colours. When you are finished, you can send them back to us for a refund (feel free to contact us for more information on this service).
Our fabric can be cut as a Long Quarter, measuring a minimum of 25cm x width of bolt. We will supply the fabric as a continuous length (eg; if you bought 1.25m it will be sent as one piece of fabric).
Brother Innov-is NV2700 Product Review and Demonstration
If you're looking for a machine which switches between sewing and embroidery seamlessly, the Brother Innov-is NV2700 is a fantastic choice. Designed for versatility, it handles sewing, quilting and embroidery with ease, supported by clever automated features for makers of all abilities working across a range of fabrics and project types.
ICAPS (Innov-is Continuous Automatic Pressure System) adjusts presser foot pressure in real-time without manual intervention, ensuring flawless, consistent stitches. An advanced needle threader, automatic thread cutter and automatic thread tension further simplify setup, while the LED needle pointer indicates the exact needle entry point - ideal for precision embroidery placement and accurate topstitching.
For quilters, the SFDS (Square Feed Drive System) gives even, reliable feeding across fabric weights. The included walking foot ensures even top-and-bottom feeding that layered projects require. Other essential quilting accessories like a ¼" piecing foot and a quilt guide are included. Plus with 8.3" of workspace, there is ample room for larger quilts and bulky items.
On the embroidery side, it's fast, precise and bursting with beautiful designs. Choose from 258 built-in embroidery designs including brand-new quilt embroidery blocks and border designs. Dressmakers will love the 10 one-step buttonhole styles for perfectly uniform results. There are large font and monogram designs for personalised creations. The 260×160mm embroidery area is large enough to stitch substantial designs in a single hooping. Thread Colour Sorting minimises colour changes for a smoother workflow.
The NV2700 makes light work of customising your projects. My Custom Stitch allows you to design and save your own stitch patterns alongside 291 built-in stitches and 13 embroidery fonts for your own quilt labels, naming and monogramming. Sideways Feed stitching enables decorative patterns up to 40mm wide without rotating the fabric. You can also transfer designs wirelessly from a Windows PC via the free Design Database Transfer app, or from a mobile or tablet (iOS or Android) using the Brother Artspira app. Mac users can transfer designs using a USB flash drive via the built-in USB port.
Versatile, intuitive and packed with advanced features, the NV2700 is ideal for ambitious makers seeking precision, creativity and a seamless sewing experience.

Materials and Build Quality
The Brother SFDS (Square Feed Drive System) uses a 7-point feed dog mechanism to deliver smooth, even feeding across a wide range of fabrics. Its square configuration grips the fabric from multiple points, ensuring consistent movement, ideal for layered or more challenging materials.

ICAPS (Innov-is Continuous Automatic Pressure System) monitors fabric thickness as you sew and adjusts presser foot pressure in real time to compensate for changes. This is particularly practical when crossing seam intersections or moving between sections of different fabric weights, where manual pressure adjustment would otherwise be needed.

The two included embroidery hoops (260x160mm and 180x130mm) are standard-fit frames that keep fabric taut and correctly positioned throughout the stitch-out. The embroidery foot includes an LED pointer to pinpoint your design placement with precision. Bobbin thread and upper thread sensors alert you when either is running low, so interruptions mid-design are reduced.

The Difference is in the Details
With a maximum sewing and embroidery speed of 850 stitches per minute, the NV2700 moves through projects at a consistent pace. The automatic thread cutter trims at the end of each sequence, the drop-in bobbin loads quickly from the top and the advanced needle threader gets the machine ready to sew in seconds. Thread sensors for both upper and lower thread mean you know before a run-out interrupts a seam or a design.

Inside the Brother Innov-is NV2700
On-Screen Embroidery Editing
Designs can be resized, rotated, mirrored and combined directly on the touchscreen before stitching begins. A realistic colour preview shows how the finished design will appear, so adjustments can be made before committing to the stitch-out.
Thread Colour Sorting
Thread Colour Sorting analyses a multi-colour design and groups stitching by colour sequence, reducing the total number of thread changes needed. This keeps interruptions to a minimum during longer embroidery projects.
Free Motion Mode
Perfect for quilting and freehand embroidery.
Free Arm
Ideal for sewing cylindrical items like sleeves and hems.
Connectivity and Design Transfer
The built-in USB port accepts designs directly from a USB stick. The Wi-LAN function supports wireless transfer via the Design Database Transfer app (PC and Windows only) and the Brother Artspira app for mobile and tablet.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is ICAPS and how does it affect sewing performance?
ICAPS stands for Innov-is Continuous Automatic Pressure System. It monitors fabric thickness as you sew and adjusts presser foot pressure in real time to keep feeding even. This is particularly useful when crossing seam allowances or moving between fabric weights mid-project, where uneven pressure would otherwise cause the feed to stall or distort.
Can I use the NV2700 for quilting?
Yes. The walking foot is included as standard, which means layered quilting fabrics feed evenly from both top and bottom without shifting. The machine also includes built-in quilt embroidery blocks and border designs and the free motion open toe quilting foot supports free-hand quilting work.
How do I transfer embroidery designs to the machine?
The NV2700 supports three transfer methods: the built-in USB port accepts designs directly from a USB stick; the Wi-LAN function allows wireless transfer from a PC using the Design Database Transfer app (Windows); and the Brother Artspira app supports design creation and transfer from a mobile or tablet.
What is My Custom Stitch and how difficult is it to use?
My Custom Stitch lets you draw and edit stitch patterns directly on the 4.9-inch touchscreen without specialist software. You work on screen and the machine handles the mechanics. Completed patterns are saved to the machine and available to use on future projects alongside the 291 built-in stitches.
Is the extension table included with the NV2700?
No. The extension wide table is an optional accessory sold separately. The machine includes an accessory compartment and comes with a generous accessories package, but the wider extension table needs to be purchased in addition if you require extra workspace for larger projects.
