Innovation & Technology
Japanese inventiveness for even more sewing pleasure
During development, baby lock has always focused on one question: How can sewing be made even more convenient? As a result, baby lock machines still impress today with the highest quality and ease of use with professional sewing results. JetAir threading systems and ATD, offer both sewing beginners and experts a carefree sewing experience. They are also innovations that have enabled baby lock to reaffirm its pioneering role in the overlock and cover stitch sector time and time again. The first air threading system, the JetAir system, even received a very special award. It was honoured with the ‘Invention Grand Prix’, which is awarded for special innovations and went to a sewing machine manufacturer for the first time.
baby lock Top 5
Overlockers, cover stitch, and sewing machines from baby lock inspire sewing fans every day. But what is actually so great about them? Here are our top 5 baby lock innovations, which – in our opinion – are definitely worthy of a medal.
Automatic thread delivery
Are you passionate about achieving perfect stitches? So are we! The groundbreaking invention from baby lock makes this process effortless. With the ATD system (Automatic Thread Delivery), you can achieve impeccable stitch patterns that remain consistent, no matter the fabric or thread type, and without any manual adjustments! This automatic thread delivery ensures the precise amount of thread needed for flawless stitch formation with every stitch type. Say goodbye to the tedious quest for the right thread tension. Just sew with confidence – that’s the baby lock promise!
Unique looper system
All machines are equipped with a closed looper system. This protects the looper threads and prevents incorrect threading. baby lock owners do not have to worry about threading sequences, free-hanging threads or tracking threading points. Once the stitch selection has been made, simply thread the required threads – in any order – and start sewing without a care in the world. The baby lock looper system is not only convenient, it also has another major advantage. It is modelled on industrial machines and is therefore particularly robust. This means that anything that fits through the looper can actually be sewn. This opens up completely new creative horizons for all kinds of thread play.
Innovative threading systems
baby lock can claim one of the most revolutionary inventions in the world of overlock and cover stitchsewing: the simple, fast and reliable threading of the loopers by air! Since 1993, this innovation has made threading more convenient than ever before. Different solutions make threading with baby lock child’s play. The JetAir uses a pump to transport the thread into the looper eye, while the ExtraOrdinAir system uses air pressure to thread the looper. With the RevolutionAir system, even the needle threads are threaded by air.
Inimitable stitching variety
Rolled Hem and Ladder Stitch, Cover Stitch and Chain Stitch, Safety Stitch and Expressive Stitch: baby lock machines are not only masters of professional finishing or joining stitches. They also invite you to experiment and decorate with their seam variety. In addition to the classic stitches, baby lock also boasts two unique stitches. With the Creative Cover Stitch of the Primo, you can conjure up an impressively curved cover stitch. And particularly great hem finishes can be created in the overlock sector with the Wave stitch. These two baby lock exclusives give every sewing project that special something!
Timeless design with convincing functionality
When baby lock launches a product on the market, you can be sure of one thing: The innovation has been put through its paces. Only what works flawlessly ends up on the market. When developing machines or their technical equipment elements, functional added value and user-friendliness always take centre stage. Reduced to the essentials and clearly arranged, you will look in vain for ‘bells and whistles’ on baby lock machines. All technical refinements are packaged in a classic, timeless design language that makes the machines themselves little pieces of jewellery.
