More Control. More Possibilities. More Reasons to Love Quilting!
Ready to take your sewing and quilting to an exciting new level? Meet the Brother Quilt Club BQ950, a feature-rich computerized sewing and quilting machine designed for those who want to explore their creativity with greater precision, flexibility, and confidence.
As the first machine in Brother's impressive Quilt Club series, the BQ950 brings together advanced sewing technology, specialized quilting features, and a generous collection of quilting accessories. Whether you're piecing your next masterpiece, exploring free-motion quilting, creating beautiful decorative stitches, or tackling everyday sewing projects, the BQ950 delivers the tools and performance to make every stitch a pleasure.
This isn't just a sewing machine that can quilt. It's a machine designed with quilters in mind!
Here's one of the features that truly sets the BQ950 apart from more basic sewing machines: its sophisticated electronic automatic thread tension system.
Instead of relying on a traditional manual tension dial, the BQ950 automatically selects a preset thread tension setting for each stitch. That means whether you're sewing a straight seam, creating decorative stitches, or exploring quilting techniques, your machine starts with an appropriate tension setting for the stitch you've selected.
Want to fine-tune the tension for a particular fabric, thread, or technique? You can customize the tension setting and have the machine remember your preference for that stitch!
It's a wonderful combination of computerized convenience and personal control, helping you achieve beautiful results while eliminating much of the guesswork.
Less Adjusting. More Consistency. Beautiful Stitching!
What if your sewing machine could stitch in more than just two directions?
With the BQ950's innovative lateral (sideways) sewing capability, it can! In addition to sewing forward and backward, the BQ950 can sew sideways using straight or zigzag stitches, opening up some exciting creative possibilities.
Imagine attaching a decorative patch or appliqué without constantly turning your fabric. Or adding impressive decorative stitch patterns that go beyond the limitations of ordinary forward-and-backward sewing.
By combining forward, reverse, and sideways fabric movement, the BQ950 can create larger, more elaborate built-in decorative stitch patterns that would be difficult to achieve on a conventional sewing machine.
It's another example of how the BQ950 gives you the freedom to explore techniques and creative possibilities you might never have considered before.
Why Just Sew Forward When Your Creativity Can Go in Every Direction?
With an impressive 240 built-in sewing stitches, including decorative, utility, heirloom, and quilting stitches, 10 styles of one-step buttonholes, and 5 built-in lettering fonts, the BQ950 gives you an incredible variety of ways to personalize your projects.
Want to create something uniquely yours? Brother's exclusive My Custom Stitch feature lets you design your own decorative stitches, save them, and use them whenever inspiration strikes.
From beautiful quilt embellishments and personalized gifts to creative garment construction and decorative home accents, the BQ950 offers an exciting range of possibilities.
The BQ950 offers a generous 8.3 inches of workspace to the right of the needle, providing plenty of room for piecing, quilting, and handling larger sewing projects.
Its longer 7-point feed dog system helps deliver smooth, consistent fabric feeding, while adjustable presser foot pressure gives you additional control when working with different fabrics and multiple layers.
And with sewing speeds of up to 850 stitches per minute, you'll have the flexibility to sew at your own comfortable pace or move quickly through longer seams.
Whether you're piecing intricate quilt blocks, working on a wall hanging, or quilting a favorite project, the BQ950 helps you sew with precision and confidence.
One of the great advantages of stepping into Brother's Quilt Club series is the collection of specialized quilting accessories included with the machine.
The BQ950 comes with an impressive 15 accessory feet, including a walking foot, quilting foot, 1/4" quilting foot with guide, and other specialty feet designed to expand your creative capabilities.
But that's just the beginning!
The included Quilter's Bundle adds even more versatility with a wide extension table, a straight stitch needle plate and matching foot, and a two-spool thread stand.
The wide table provides additional support for larger projects, while the straight stitch needle plate and foot help deliver precise stitching, especially when piecing with lightweight fabrics. The two-spool thread stand accommodates larger thread spools, adding convenience for serious sewing and quilting enthusiasts.
More Than Just Extra Accessories — They're Tools to Help You Quilt with Confidence!
The BQ950 isn't just about advanced capabilities. It's also designed to make everyday sewing easier.
The advanced needle threading system takes the frustration out of threading the needle, while the Quick-Set drop-in bobbin makes getting started simple.
The automatic thread cutter trims your threads at the touch of a button, and the convenient knee lifter allows you to raise and lower the presser foot while keeping both hands on your project.
Add needle up/down positioning, adjustable sewing speed, a Start/Stop button, and an easy-to-use LCD display, and you've got a machine that combines sophisticated technology with practical everyday convenience.
These are the little things that make a big difference when you're spending hours enjoying your favorite hobby!
The Brother Quilt Club BQ950 represents an exciting step forward for sewists and quilters who are ready for more.
With its electronic thread tension, sideways sewing capability, expansive stitch selection, specialized quilting accessories, and thoughtful computerized features, the BQ950 offers a level of creative freedom and control that makes it a wonderful choice for both enthusiastic beginners and experienced quilters.
It's a machine that encourages you to experiment, explore new techniques, and tackle projects you might never have attempted before.
