Sewing machine functions briefly explained

Around the Needle Bar and Throat Space, the Aspire scores points with its comfortable amount of space. This not only makes threading easier. The extra space also allows all the accessories for our combined machines to be used on the Aspire.

The Aspire is equipped with the ExtraordinAir system, allowing you to effortlessly thread both the Overlock and Chain Looper at an impressive speed with just a button press. Additionally, the Aspire features optimised thread paths and guides. A streamlined guide for the needle threads, along with an enhanced thread path for the Chain Looper, ensures that even extra thick textured threads or other heavier decorative threads can be threaded with ease.

Rolled hem, flatlock seam or cover stitch: with a maximum of 5 threads, Aspire enables a very wide range of decorative effects or seam combinations.

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. But combination machines can do even more, because both areas work together. With the desire3, many overlock seams can therefore be sewn in combination with cover seams, up to a maximum of 8 working threads. So you can experiment and combine to your heart’s content.

Rolled Hem, Flatlock, or Cover Stitch:
The Aspire‘s basic configuration, featuring a maximum of five threads, allows for a wide range of stitch combinations and decorative effects. Additionally, the optional Spool Holder enables sewing with up to eight threads.

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.

The Aspire 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 the feed dog.

The Aspire leaves nothing to be desired in terms of user-friendliness and fabric processing. Thanks to the ATD system, a pioneering baby lock invention, a flawless seam is always achieved – irrespective of the type of fabric or thread and without any manual readjustment! The tedious search for the right thread tension is a thing of the past with baby lock sewing machines.

For two thread seams, the subsidiary looper of the Aspire can be activated very easily. It is firmly attached to the upper looper, so cannot be misplaced or lost.

The foot pressure regulator on the Aspire allows you to individually adjust the pressure to the type of fabric. Whether fine, firm or heavy fabric – the presser foot pressure can be adjusted accordingly at any time. With the help of the easy-to-read scale, you can recognize and change the required basic and foot pressure setting.

A Knee Lever is included with the Aspire. 
Thanks to the Knee Lever, the Presser Foot can be raised or lowered with the knee. This means you always have both hands free to guide the fabric safely.

The Aspire comes with the latest generation of the
baby lock Trim Catcher. The Needle Collection Tray is directly integrated into the Trim Catcher and the Catcher is connected direct to the machine. The highlight: The
Trim Catcher can remain on the machine when threading the loopers and all adjustment dials are accessible at all times.

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 inserted vertically, piercing directly into the fabric. This exclusive function gives better needle penetration for heavier fabrics. 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 above-mentioned features are complemented by a range of additional amenities. 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. The short blade/needle distance of the Aspire supports clean seam formation.

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 cover on the Aspire can be opened, which makes cleaning much easier.

The Aspire also sews with the foot raised or the covers open.
