desire3 – baby lock’s compact combination machine

The desire3 features the JetAir system, an innovative air threading system. Air transports the threads into the loopers via a lever connected to bellows. Simply select the desired looper thread, insert it into the threading port, press the lever and the thread is automatically threaded into the looper eye of the desire3 – for all loopers and regardless of the threading sequence. It couldn’t be more convenient!

Note: The desire3 does not have a special system for threading the needles.

Rolled hem, flatlock seam or cover stitch: with a maximum of 5 threads, desire3 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 5 working threads. 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.

The desire3 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.

For two thread seams, the subsidiary looper of the Desire 3 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 desire3 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.

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 desire3 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 desire 3 can be opened, which makes cleaning much easier.

The Desire 3 also sews with the foot raised or the covers open.
