Endless overlocking fun

The comfortable overlocker with the decorative wave stitch. Comes, of course, with the unique NEW jet-air threading system and automatic thread delivery system. Are you dreaming of something very special? Let yourself be drawn into a world of creativity by the baby lock enlighten. The fascinating wave stitch is one of the enlighten's special features. A simple three-thread overlock stitch is suddenly turned into a real eye catcher as if by magic. No other overlocker on the market can produce this kind of stitch. Say goodbye to laboriously following threading points.

Forget about loose threads and all the associated tangle and frustration. The NEW and ingenious, fully automated jet-air threading system makes threading the loopers fun. Just insert the thread into the desired looper port, push the button and hey presto, the looper is threaded completely and automatically. You can also thread all three loopers at once if you like. And it goes without saying that you can define the threading order yourself. The handy needle threader does a good job when it comes to threading the needles. Thanks to the enlighten's automatic thread delivery (ATD) system and the stitch selector, you no longer have to worry about thread tension adjustment. Perfectly balanced stitches with threads of different qualities on a wide range of materials, from fine through to heavy fabrics, are no longer a matter of good luck. baby lock has come up with a remarkable system to help you stitch curved seams. The extremely small gap between the cutter and needle is a prerequisite to produce perfect curves.
Your new baby lock offers a whole range of other fantastic adjustment possibilities. You can change the actual stitch width and not just the cutting width, for example, because the chaining finger and the cutter move together in the same direction. This avoids overcutting and undercutting and you don't have to continually readjust the thread tension. Did unwanted puckering or wavy seams in knitwear and fine fabrics used to cause you trouble and strife? If so, the baby lock enlighten's adjustable differential feed (0.6 – 2.0:1) is the solution. LED light - the light of the future – is now also available on your baby lock enlighten to provide a good view of the sewing area.
