Explore the Full Baby Lock Range
During our open day, a range of baby lock overlockers and cover stitch machines will be on show. This is your chance to view models side by side, understand the differences, and discover which machine best suits your sewing style and projects. We will also have a workshop and tutor to lead the sessions.
From beautifully finished seams and delicate rolled hems to professional stretch finishes and decorative stitching effects, baby lock machines deliver exceptional versatility. Whether you sew garments, activewear, children’s clothing, home décor, or creative projects, there’s a machine designed to elevate your results.
Even better, all new baby lock machines come with a 4-year warranty, giving you complete peace of mind with your investment. Quality engineering, reliability, and long-term support make these machines a smart and confident choice.

Effortless Threading with Jet-Air Technology
Threading an overlocker can often feel intimidating — but baby lock has completely transformed the experience.
Thanks to the revolutionary Jet-Air Threading™ system, threading the loopers is incredibly simple. Insert the thread into the designated port, press the lever, and a burst of air threads the loopers instantly. No tweezers, no struggling to see inside the machine, and no frustration. It’s fast, clean, and wonderfully easy.
You’ll see live demonstrations throughout the event and have the opportunity to try this feature yourself — many sewists are amazed the first time they experience it.

Perfect Stitches with Automatic Tension
Another standout feature of baby lock overlockers and cover stitch machines is the advanced automatic thread delivery (ATD) tension system.
Instead of adjusting multiple tension dials every time you change fabric, the machine automatically delivers the correct amount of thread for balanced, consistent stitches. Whether you’re working with fine fabrics, stable cottons, or stretchy knits, the machine adapts to provide beautiful results.
This means:
• Consistent, professional stitch quality
• Smooth sewing on lightweight and heavier fabrics
• Excellent performance on stretch materials
• Less time testing and adjusting
• More time enjoying your sewing
It’s precision engineering designed to make your sewing experience easier and more enjoyable.
