About this machine

The Brother Innov-is NQ700PRW is a Project Runway sewing and quilting machine with 180 built-in sewing stitches, including 40 combinable stitches, ten one-step buttonholes and five sewing lettering fonts. Brother lists an 8.3 inch needle-to-arm space, advanced needle threading and a Quick-Set drop-in bobbin.

NQ700PRW is the simpler of the three Project Runway Q-Series sewing models

Brother lists 180 stitches for NQ700PRW, compared with 240 for NQ900PRW and 290 for NQ1300PRW. It still uses the larger 8.3 inch needle space and Q-Series feed layout, so it is not a compact entry-level machine.

Manual thread tension is a real model difference

Brother's comparison table gives NQ700PRW manual thread tension, while NQ900PRW and NQ1300PRW use automatic tension. That is a useful exact-model distinction when a manual or control panel needs to be identified.

The 40 combinable stitches are part of the 180 total

Brother calls out 40 combinable stitches within the 180 built-in sewing stitches. Treating those as a subset avoids inflating the stitch count while still explaining what the feature adds.
