The Presto 2 puts 100 stitches on a 2.4 by 1.3 inch LCD screen with one-touch buttons underneath, so choosing a stitch and setting its width and length is a matter of a few presses rather than a chart taped inside the lid. Seven of those are one-step buttonholes, and there are four built-in alphabets for labeling a quilt or monogramming a bag.
