7 great reasons to buy a Baby Lock

The Baby Lock name has always been famous for originality of design and innovative technology. Our high quality products stand out from the rest because of their exclusive patents designed to improve your sewing experience. Here are the top seven features of Baby Lock overlockers:

#1 Self Threading Overlockers
Baby Lock overlockers are equipped with the “Jet Air Threading System” making them the easiest overlockers to thread. One touch of a lever and a jet of air will blow the threads through the loopers.

#2 No More Tensions!
The Automatic Thread Delivery (ATD) system delivers a length of thread to form a balanced stitch instead of putting tension on the thread. You simply select A B C or D depending on stitch required, no more overlocking tensions!

#3 Thread in any order
Baby Lock models have enclosed Tubular Looper threading paths. Threads aren't exposed so there's nothing left to tangle. As well as this, threads can be left where they lay, not tucked under the foot.

#4 Speedy sewing
This new Looper Drive System allows the motion of the loopers to be driven more directly from the main shaft. This creates a smoother sewing motion with less vibration. It also allows the machine to stitch smoother and at greater speeds than ever before.

#5 Copes with Thick Fabrics
The limitations on how heavy a fabric an overlocker can cut is most often not determined by how strong the motor is, but by the strength of the knife system. Even the heaviest fabrics simply cannot spread the Baby Lock’s lower-mounted, rigid knife system apart. The larger bite allows for easy cutting on thick, bulky fabrics as well. This is due to our patented Advanced Knife Driving System, One-way Clutch System and Vertical Needle Penetration. Baby Lock are the only overlockers with completely vertical needles, rather than the traditional slanted needles. This vertical orientation increases the penetrating power. This allows for overlocking on heavy fabrics and will not push or damage even delicate fabrics.

#6 Customize your stitch
Baby Lock overlockers instantly convert to a rolled hem setting simply by turning the stitch length dial which automatically moves the stitch finger. This Automatic Rolled Hem eliminates the need to change presser foot or needle plate and also eliminates any risk of damaging the stitch finger by removing it manually. The Fabric Support System allows the adjustment of the lower knife from 3.5 – 7.5 mm from the blade to the left overlocking needle. The advantage of this system is the width of the stitch is adjustable on any overlock stitch to accommodate different weights of fabric. With a Baby Lock the position of the stitch finger moves with the position of the cutting blade. This prevents the stitches from rolling the edge of the fabric on a wider stitch width and from looping over the fabric edge on a narrower stitch width.

#7 True 2 to 1 Gathering Ratio
The Baby Lock Full Featured Single Unit Differential Feed is a superior system for gathering. While most overlockers use large numbers of working parts to control this differential feed function, Baby Lock overlockers feature a single-unit design. Both feed dogs are controlled directly from the main drive shaft allowing for more consistency in feeding various fabrics.
