About this machine

The Brother Innov-is 80, sold as the Project Runway Limited Edition NS80, is a lightweight computerized sewing machine with 80 built-in stitches, ten one-step auto-size buttonhole styles and one sewing lettering font. Brother also documents stitch combining, mirror imaging and memory.

Innov-is 80 is not just the Innov-is 40 with another number

Brother's official brochure lists 80 built-in stitches, ten one-step buttonholes and a sewing lettering font for Innov-is 80. The smaller Innov-is 40 has 40 stitches and five buttonholes. That is a concrete model distinction rather than a cosmetic naming change.

Pattern handling is part of the step-up

Innov-is 80 can combine stitches, repeat patterns, create mirror images and save favorite stitches in memory. The 10-digit selection pad and backlit LCD also differ from the dial-based selection Brother documents for Innov-is 40.

NS80 is a useful alternate identifier

Brother's product page uses NS80 while describing the machine as Innov-is 80. Keeping both names helps with manuals and secondhand listings and avoids treating them as separate machines.
