the optional Gold Standard Comprehensive Care Program

I've been doing some kind of sewing for as long as I could hold a needle and thread. My first experience with a Sashiko-like stitch was on my grandma's quilts. For anyone who has seen the hand-stitching technique known as Sashiko, you'll be amazed that there's a machine that can replicate this distinctive stitch. This sweet, simple, but elegant stitch can embellish almost anything. From garments to home décor to quilting - once I get started with this machine I can't stop.

Beautiful Hand-Stitched look from Baby Lock

U-Shaped Fluorescent LampThe entire needle area is surrounded by a lighting system for maximum illumination.

Free-Flow SewingThe adjustable presser foot height allows ease of turning fabric, stitching circles, squares and other shapes for complete control.

Optional AccessoriesA one-of-a-kind machine lends to a unique experience every time. To guarantee an exciting Sashiko experience, Baby Lock offers multiple accessories for your machine. Whether you're looking to add Sashiko stitches to larger projects, or need some inspiration, Baby Lock has the right accessories for you. There's even a machine cover so you can easily store your machine while protecting it from dust.

Precise Sashiko Stitches A specialty needle working in conjunction with a latch wire system forms defined stitches and precise spacing to create a true hand-stitched look.

Single Stitch Function Complete control of stitch and spacing is essential for decorative techniques such as braiding, couching, cross-stitching and adding trim. Now with the specialty stitch function, a complete cycle of one single stitch and space allows the control you need when single stitch sewing is desired.

Stitch Length Control Create short or long stitches ranging from 2mm to 5mm using the adjustable lever.

Stitch Spacing Control Create short or long spaces with adjustable spacing from 2mm to 5mm.

Accessory Storage Space Conveniently store and organize all of the included accessories in the built-in tray.

Bobbin SystemThe side-loading, oscillating bobbin system is conveniently placed for fast and easy loading.

Bobbin Winder Easily prepare multiple bobbins for projects by winding each one on the built-in bobbin winder.

LED MonitorThis unique system allows you to easily recognize when the needle is creating a stitch or a space.

OptionalSashiko TableAdd a world of extra sewing space to your machine with this optional 18" x 24" extension table.
