WHITE INTRODUCES NEW QUILTING MACHINE

(CLEVELAND, OH) . . . Here's some great news for quilters and beginning sewers on a budget. The new 1740 Quilting Machine from White Sewing Machines provides quilters and beginning sewers many state-of-the-art functions at a surprisingly affordable suggested retail, less than $300.

The White Quilter's Machine model 1740 features 40 stitch functions, 17 built-in basic stretch and decorative stitches and 15 presser feet including even feed, pin tuck, satin stitch, ¼", overcast, gathering, narrow hemmer and embroidery plus a quilt guide bar. Functions like a 1/4-inch stitch plus plenty of decorative stitches for crazy patch quilting, applique work, channel quilting and even free-motion make the 1740 a truly quilter-friendly machine. Equipped with a detachable carrying case that doubles as an extra-large extension table, the lightweight 1740 is the perfect take-along machine for quilt classes and seminars.

Beyond quilting, the sewer will find everything necessary for garment construction and home decorating projects as well including zipper insertion, blind hem, shell tuck, elastic casing, overlock stretch stitches, an automatic needle-threader and a simple four-step buttonhole.

In addition to its portability and high-end sewing features, electronics make the 1740 a step above any other model in this price range. Needle up/down for easy pivoting, slow speed adjustment for total control and accuracy and a start/stop button all enhance the quilter's experience of total hands-free creativity. Each machine is packaged with an
instructional video featuring sewing expert Sue Hausmann, host of the popular "America Sews with Sue Hausmann" television series.
