Yes, the Veritas Carmen has an intuitive touchscreen that can be used to set and operate all functions. The brightness of the screen can be adjusted. There is also a stylus for the touchscreen.

The machine offers 100 different utility, stretch, overlock and decorative stitches as well as 172 letters and numbers. There are also 8 different, fully automatic buttonhole programs.

The Smart Mode of the VERITAS Carmen offers step-by-step instructions for various sewing techniques, such as sewing on a button or sewing in a zipper. It is particularly helpful for beginners as it teaches the basic techniques and makes it easier to learn how to sew.

The Ideas mode of the VERITAS Carmen offers 10 pre-installed sewing projects with detailed instructions directly on the machine screen. These instructions contain pictures, text and instruct the machine to select the appropriate stitch patterns. The Ideas mode is designed to inspire you and help you apply what you have learned directly to projects, while the Smart mode focuses on learning techniques.

The expert mode allows you to select and adjust the stitches individually. Stitch length and width as well as stitch patterns can be changed and saved in the memory function.

Yes, the machine has a memory function that can be used to save individual stitch patterns and settings. Up to 30 settings can be saved.

The stitch length is infinitely adjustable from 0 to 4.5 mm and the stitch width from 0 to 7 mm.

Yes, the VERITAS Carmen has an auto-lock function, also known as the automatic sewing function. This function is used to secure the beginning and end of a seam.

The automatic sewing function makes it possible to lock the start and end of the seam by sewing several times in the same place, creating a knot that secures the seam. This function eliminates the need to sew forwards and backwards several times at the start and end of a seam.

Yes, the thread tension is set using a rotary dial on the top of the machine, the default setting of which is “4”. The correct setting is important for good sewing results and depends on the fabric/stitch combination.

First download the sewing idea from our website and save it on your computer: LINK

Then copy the “.guide” file to a micro-USB stick. If your computer does not have a micro USB port, you can also use an adapter cable.

Alternatively, you can also use a “normal” USB stick and connect it to the VERITAS Carmen later using an adapter cable.

Now connect the USB stick to the VERITAS Carmen.

Switch on the VERITAS Carmen and tap on the cogwheel symbol in the top right corner of the main menu to access the settings menu. Then tap on “Import sewing idea”.

The sewing idea will now be automatically installed on your VERITAS Carmen. Do not switch off the VERITAS Carmen during the installation process.

No. Only special interactive sewing instructions can be installed on the VERITAS Carmen, because each work step contains settings specially adapted for the VERITAS Carmen. The stitch program, stitch length, stitch width and other settings are already adjusted for each step.

The sewing machine must be disconnected from the power supply for maintenance and cleaning. The throat plate can be removed and the feed dog and bobbin case cleaned with a brush. The hook should be regularly cleaned of lint and thread remnants and lubricated with sewing machine oil (not included! Do not use regular cooking oil!). It is important to maintain the machine regularly to ensure a long service life.

The LCD display and the surface of the machine should be cleaned with a soft, dry cloth. If necessary, a damp cloth with a little neutral detergent can be used.

The standard scope of delivery of the VERITAS Carmen includes:
All-purpose foot, zipper foot, buttonhole foot, overlock foot, blind hem foot, caterpillar seam foot, button presser foot, cleaning brush, seam ripper, bobbin holder, quilt guide, 3 bobbins, screwdriver (small and large), felt pad for thread spools, second thread spool pin, touch screen pin, 5 quality needles, micro USB adapter cable for software

A caterpillar foot is used for caterpillar seams (satin stitches) and decorative stitches. This presser foot has a recess on the underside that allows it to glide easily over thick stitch formations.

The blind stitch foot is a special presser foot that was developed for sewing invisible hems. It is used to sew hems so that the seam on the right side of the fabric is barely visible or not visible at all.
