About this machine

The Brother Innov-is NQ3500D is a Q-Series sewing, quilting and embroidery machine with a 6 x 10 inch maximum embroidery area, 290 built-in sewing stitches and 173 built-in embroidery designs, including 35 Disney designs. Brother also lists 11 embroidery fonts, a 3.7 inch color touch screen and USB design import.

NQ3500D is the combination model in the five-machine Q-Series brochure

Brother presents NQ3500D as the sewing-and-embroidery member of the Q-Series group. It combines the 290-stitch sewing platform with a 6 x 10 inch embroidery field and 173 built-in embroidery designs.

The Disney set is included inside the embroidery total

Thirty-five of the 173 built-in embroidery designs are Disney designs.

On-screen editing is part of the model-specific value

Brother documents letter editing, zoom, resizing, rotation, repositioning and design combining on the color touch screen. Those functions distinguish the machine from sewing-only NQ models that can share the same bobbin and presser-foot accessories.

What this machine is used for
