9.5" × 14" Embroidery Field

Stitch big, bold designs with fewer rehoops. The 9.5" × 14" field and 11.25" of workspace to the right of the needle are ideal for quilt blocks, jacket backs, tote bags, and in-the-hoop projects.

IQ Designer icon

IQ Designer – Turn Art into Stitches

Draw right on the screen, import line art by USB, or send artwork from a smart device, then let IQ Designer convert shapes into fills, outlines, and decorative lines for custom embroidery without extra software.

Wi-Fi enabled icon

Wireless Design Transfer

Built-in Wi-Fi works with Design Database Transfer so you can send designs directly from your computer to the Meridian, or integrate with Palette (v11+, sold separately) for even more creative control.

Color Visualizer

Audition different thread palettes before you stitch. Choose vivid, soft, gradient, or random color sets and let the Color Visualizer suggest combinations you can preview and save.

Needle Beam & Precise Placement

A bright LED Needle Beam on the embroidery foot shows exactly where the needle will land, making it easy to align borders, place monograms, and hit precise points on quilt blocks and garments.
