Sewing Machines by Baby Lock

If you know me, you know I love sewing machines by Baby Lock. The machines for any level are great quality, sew smooth as butter, and have the features I look for.

As I am a QUILTER, I want to share the different quilting sewing machines that Baby Lock offers, and compare the differences for you. 

Now you can find your dream machine with the features you want.

WHAT MACHINE ARE YOU LOOKING FOR

Depending what you use a sewing machine for, you can find the Baby Lock machine that is best for you.

I am excited to share the different sewing machines baby Lock offers (as of the date of writing this post).

I’ll share the machines, what they offer, and help you find the machine that’s the right fit for you.

MACHINE CHECKLIST

Be sure to check out my other blog post that includes a free checklist to help you find the sewing machines that’s right for you. CLICK HERE.

SEWING MACHINES I OWN

I have 3 Baby Lock sewing machines. 

  1. Baby Lock Jubilant.
    1. COST: $
    2. This is a great machine for piecing. It doesn’t have all the bells and whistles of the machine I will share next, but I love it! When I am chain piecing, this is what I use.
  2. Crescendo
    1. Cost: $$$
    2. This machine is amazing! It has a large throat space, sews smoothly, has a laser that helps me get perfect lines, and is just everything I ever wanted in a machine. 
  3. Sashiko
    1. Cost: $$
    2. This is a specialty machine. It does not do your piecing, and is known for only doing one stitch – the Sashiko stitch. This mimics the hand quilted look and that’s exactly why I love it and bought it. You get the hand quilted look without all the work. This is my favorite toy machine, as I like to call it.

I am a Minnesota born girl living in Texas with my husband and 3 kids. If I could tell my 13 year old self I was a quilter, I would have laughed in disbelief.  However, a few years ago I discovered how cool quilting really is!  I want to share how cool quilting is with others.  Join me in my online modern Quilters Candy Membership, or check out my quilt patterns.  I even offer a course once a year teaching you how to write and sell your own quilt patterns. I am excited to be quilty friends!
