Extra-Wide Sewing Space for Large Projects

The machine features a wide extension table and an expanded sewing area designed to make large projects easier and more comfortable to manage. With a generous 200 mm wide sewing space, it provides ample room for handling bulky fabrics such as quilts and curtains, allowing for smoother fabric control and more precise stitching on bigger works.

Superior Fabric Handling

The EXP-9000 is built around superior fabric handling and features the Happy advanced feeding system. This ensures a smoother movement of fabric through the Happy Box Feed System to the 7-piece feed dog, helping to reduce puckering with the horizontal movement of the feed dog. Paired with an improved presser foot, it also minimises skipped stitches. This smooth feeding action makes the machine particularly effective when working with delicate or stretchy materials, as well as heavier fabrics like denim or upholstery.

Optional Embroidery Unit add on

As with all Happy machines, the EXP-9000 can be easily upgraded with the optional EU-5 embroidery unit, transforming it into a fully capable embroidery machine in moments. The add-on simply attaches to the machine, providing an embroidery area of 130 x 200mm. There’s no need for a separate embroidery machine and switching between sewing and embroidery is quick and effortless.
