Brother Innov-ís BX1 Expedition
Set out on your next creative adventure with an advanced combination machine made for sewing, quilting, and embroidery.
The Brother Innov-ís BX1 Expedition combines generous workspace, an 8" x 14" embroidery area, extensive built-in creative content, and thoughtful guidance features in one versatile machine.
From precision piecing and garment construction to decorative stitching and personalized embroidery, the BX1 gives creative makers room to explore.
BX1 Highlights
A flexible creative workstation with space, connectivity, and advanced sewing and embroidery features.
More Standout Capabilities
Thoughtful tools give you more control while sewing, quilting, and creating embroidery.
Compact Digital Dual Feed Foot
Improve fabric handling when working with thick, layered, or slippery materials that can be challenging for a standard presser foot.
Stitch Tapering
Add polished tapered beginnings and endings to compatible decorative stitches for borders, embellishment, and creative sewing.
Yarn Couching
Add dimensional texture and color to embroidery and creative projects by couching decorative yarn onto the fabric.
Matrix Copy
Duplicate and arrange multiple copies of an embroidery design within the embroidery field for patches, repeated motifs, and efficient layout.
Optional Stitch Regulator
Add the compatible stitch regulator for more consistent stitch lengths and greater confidence during free-motion quilting. Sold separately.
Create Curves with Greater Control
The BX1 introduces Curve Sewing, a feature designed to make it easier to guide fabric smoothly around curves.
When the needle is down, reduced presser-foot pressure allows the fabric to rotate more naturally. When the needle rises, normal pressure resumes to feed the fabric forward.
It is a thoughtful tool for curved piecing, appliqué, garment details, and other projects where control matters.
Follow a Visible Guideline
The External Laser Guideline Marker projects an adjustable line directly onto the fabric to help guide straight stitching and decorative work.
Use the projected line to follow a fabric edge, maintain consistent alignment, or position decorative stitches with greater confidence.
Connected Creativity
Wireless connectivity gives you convenient ways to expand and transfer embroidery designs without relying only on a USB drive.
Explore designs and projects through the Artspira mobile app, create custom patterns by drawing on a compatible mobile device, or use Design Database Transfer to send embroidery files from a computer.
