Professional Bobbin Winder

The Professional Bobbin Winder saves times by filling bobbins quickly and quietly. Most importantly, bobbins are filled consistently and precisely and quality bobbins are essential for quality stitches.

Vivid Light System

Quality lighting is imperative for your quilting adventure because you will often work with threads that match or very closely blend with your fabrics. This can put a strain on your eyes very quickly. Gammill offers an overhead lightbar to assist with the overall lighting on the quilting machine and a Vivid Light System on the machine head that offers a very bright light option on your quilting area.

Overhead Light Bar

Illuminate your work area to clearly see stitching. This is particularly helpful if working in a location with poor overhead lighting or a lack of natural lighting.

Hydraulics

Easily adjust your table height. This is a good option if you have more than one person who will be using the machine, particularly if they are very different heights. Some people use their hydraulics to switch between sitting and standing. Using hydraulics to change positions to ease body strain may be more beneficial for those who plan to do more hand-guided quilting.

Quilt Clips  

These allow you to re- attach a quilt quickly to fix a missed area or to hold your quilt top square on the frame if you’re floating your top.

Zippered leaders

Allows you to change quilts without repinning. This can be a huge help if an unexpected project comes along and you need to pause working on a quilt.

Ruler Base Plate

Provides a flat base for quilting with rulers. If you intend on doing any ruler work, this is a must to stabilize your quilt.

TOWA Gauge

Make sure all your bobbins are set the same way before you put them in your bobbin case, this helps tremendously with your tension.

Casters

Allows you to easily move your machine. This can be especially helpful if your machine is in a tight space and you may need to occasionally move the machine to get to other areas of the room. Or, to more easily clean under and around your machine.

Micro Handles

If you are a hand guider these are like pencil grips. You have so much control and can stitch the tiniest of details with ease.
