With the Luminaire 2 Innov-is XP2, you can enjoy all of the advanced features from the original Luminaire, plus brilliant new technology. The XP2 features new quilting innovations and app-based features available from your mobile devices. Sewing technology has now jumped beyond the light year scale.

StitchVision Technology

5" x 3" Projected Preview Area

If you want to achieve perfect placement of your embroidery design, use StitchVision technology. After choosing an embroidery design, select the StitchVision technology icon on the LCD screen to see your design projected on your hooped fabric. This will allow you to see a realistic preview before you begin embroidering.

Previewing your stitches before you start embroidering will help you line up designs for both sewing and embroidery. Experience more accuracy than ever!

Guideline marker line and guideline marker grid

You also display guideline markers in single, double, angled and gridlines using the 5" x 3" virtual preview area. Use gridlines for creating multiple rows of parallel stitching, hems, pin stucks, decorative stitches, cross hatch quilting, curtain rod pockets, or smocking.

Use the projector to view your angle lines when creating mitred corners, sashing strips, Y seams, diamond cross hatching, or square corners.

My Design Snap App & My Stitch Monitor

Through WiFi connectivity

Turn just about anything into embroidery with the My Design Snap mobile app. Select a picture of line art of an illustration from your iOS or Android device and send it directly to your machine through WiFi.

Keep track of your embroidery using My Stitch Monitor after enabling wireless LAN connectivity between your PC and the Luminaire 2. You can walk away from your machine and be notified via your iOS or Android device when you need to change threads or if your project is complete.

Dual Purpose Stylus

Make adjustments to your stitches directly on your fabric for even more accuracy than ever before with the innovative Dual Purpose Stylus. You can adjust your stitch width, length and left/right shift using the revolutionary stylus. Plus, you can now change the background colour or your preview area to white, black or grey.

The stylus is constructed of dual sides for maximum efficiency. The opposite end of the stylus features a soft tip to work on the LCD display allowing you to select, move or enhance projects directly on the screen.

Control the brightness to your liking with five different settings including an “off” mode to find your ideal level.
