Ovation – baby lock combination sewing machine

The Ovation has an innovative air threading system. With the ExtraordinAir system, bellows activated at the touch of a button threads the loopers reliably and quickly. This makes threading the Ovation child’s play. Simply select the desired thread, insert it, press the corresponding button and the thread is threaded automatically – for all loopers and regardless of the threading sequence. It couldn’t be more convenient!

Note: The Ovation does not have a special system for threading the needles.

Rolled hem, flatlock seam or cover stitch: With its up to 8 threads, the Ovation enables a very large selection of decorative effects or seam combinations and, of course, the unique wave seam is also included.

Our combined baby lock machines are designed so that they can be used both as a fully-fledged overlock machine and as a fully-fledged cover machine. However, combination machines can do even more, as both areas work together. This means that, in principle, any overlock seam can be sewn in combination with any cover stitch seam. So you can experiment and combine to your heart’s content.

The differential feed can be used to significantly improve the appearance of the sewn pieces. Unwanted seam puckering, unsightly gathered or wavy seams can easily be prevented, because the differential feed ensures optimal fabric feeding. In addition, the setting options can also be used to deliberately achieve imaginative gathered effects.

When the stitch width dial is adjusted, the stitch finger and the upper blade move together. Thanks to this special technology, the seam width can be adjusted very easily. The actual seam width changes and not just the cutting width as is the case with conventional machines. Overcuts and undercuts are prevented and there is no need to adjust the amount of looper thread. The stitch becomes wider or narrower without the need for annoying and time-consuming adjustment.

Clearly arranged and accessible at all times, the stitch length can be set with just one dial. The stitch length can be varied from 0.75 to 4 to suit the project. The setting values are on a simple scale. At the same time, you can easily switch to the rolled hem function without having to carry out any additional steps. In the rolled hem setting, the stitch finger is in a lowered position. This enables a very narrow seam.

A small eyelet on the Ovation makes it even easier to bypass the looper tension. Bulky yarns or other thicker fancy yarns can be threaded very easily.

Another pleasant feature of the baby lock Ovation is the foot lift in the centre of the machine. This means that the foot can be easily raised and lowered from the front with the right hand. This not only optimises the working area. It also means you always have your sewing project firmly in view and under control. Alternatively, you can also use the knee lift. This gives you both hands free to guide the fabric safely, as the presser foot is raised or lowered with the knee. The sewing machine also has an extra high, two-stage foot lift of up to 8 mm. This means that even thicker layers of fabric fit between the foot and feed dog.

More freedom for your creative projects! The extra wide opening of the Ovation allows you to control even larger sewing projects with ease. Large quantities of fabric can be easily processed and cover stitch can be placed in the centre of a project thanks to the 140 mm wide opening.

The subsidiary looper of the Ovation can be easily switched on for two-thread seams. As it is firmly connected to the upper looper, it cannot be misplaced or lost.

The foot pressure control on the Ovation allows you to customise the pressure to suit the type of fabric. Whether fine, firm or heavy fabric – the presser foot pressure can be easily adjusted accordingly. With the help of the easy-to-read scale, you can recognise and alter the pressure, and easily reset to the default.

You can store important utensils in the practical accessory compartment located under the spool holder. The scope of delivery includes

• Tweezers
• needles
• Spare needle screws
• Spare knife
• Screwdriver for needle screws
• Brush with guide for inserting the needles

While most machines use angled needles, which can push and damage the fabric, the needles on baby lock sewing machines are arranged vertically, piercing directly into the fabric. This exclusive function protects your fabric and prevents the needles from shifting. It also gives you greater stitch reliability and strength when sewing.

All baby lock sewing machines are extremely user-friendly and comfortable to use. The aforementioned features are complemented by a range of additional conveniences. For example, all machines have long-lasting and powerful LED lighting, a high level of stitch safety, a needle catch tray and a stable telescopic thread guide. With the Ovation, you can also look forward to speed regulation and the short blade/needle distance supports clean seam formation. The needle screws are also secured with a small plate. This is convenient and thread-saving, as the screws no longer need to be tightened when no needle is being used.

Wherever sewing takes place, fibers fly. Regular cleaning is essential due to the sewing dust. This prevents large amounts of lint from piling up under the stitch plate and affecting sewing. The side flap on the Gloria can be opened, which makes cleaning much easier.

The Gloria also has a safety feature. The machine does not sew if the covers are open, or the foot up. This reduces potential sources of error.
