A New Partnership with Baby Lock!
3:00 PM
I'm so excited to announce my brand new partnership with Baby Lock. Sometimes in life and in sewing, we can easily become complacent in our surroundings and with our creative tools. And just when you start to feel stagnant and bored and think that you've taken this journey as far as you can, an amazing new opportunity presents itself.
Having the opportunity to sit and use good sewing machines has really taught me what I need and what I don't need with my ever evolving home sewn wardrobe. I've learned that sometimes you can have too much of one thing and too little of another. And when you find the perfect balance, it can really spur on the creativity. So, allow me to introduce you to my newest sewing studio additions:
This is the beautiful Baby Lock Aventura II. Isn't she gorgeous! I've always had a desire to get into embroidery. I've dabbled in the past with my low level big box store embroidery machine. It only came with a 4x4 embroidery hoop and it was so limiting that I felt frustrated most of the time and it ended up collecting a lot of dust. But this beauty has 6 1/4" x 10 1/4" embroidery field. I'm taking the Baby Lock Online Sewing Classes so that I can learn what this gorgeous gal can do.
She also sews beautifully. I spent the last week putting her to the test by making two pairs of jeans. If you want to test out a sewing machine's stitch quality, sew up some denim!
Things I love about it already, a top loading bobbin and the machine indicates when the bobbin is running out. That single feature made me want to jump for joy.
I can't count the numerous time I've sewn an entire seam without bobbin thread.
The machine has nice bright LED lights and a vivid HD LCD screen.
I also have the Baby Lock Victory. It has the amazing Jet Air Threading™ and Automatic Thread Delivery™. I use to dread having to change my serger threads and would often skip matching the color of the serger thread to the garment. But now, I look forward because this is so quick and easy.
I'm so thankful to the kind folks at Baby Lock for giving me the opportunity to partner with them and introduce you all to these beautiful machines. I can't wait to share amazing tutorials with you all!

DeleteCongratulations Erica - enjoy your new machines! I personally love my Babylock serger and hope you love yours as much!
ReplyDeleteCarolyn, what’s not to love! I don’t know how anyone could use a Baby Lock serger and switch to any other brand that doesn’t have that threading technology. Thank you!
DeleteCongratulations - so well deserved!
ReplyDeleteI have a Babylock needle felter (which is quite old now, but is still going strong) and I love how it works and the quality of the machine. If that's anything to go by, I'm sure the sewing machine and serger are wonderful!
I'm not in the market for a sewing machine, but am going to buy a serger in the next six months or so. Would love a more in-depth review of the serger when you have time!
Thank you Kit! I can’t wait to really use it.
DeleteI am "SEW VERY HAPPY" for you Erica!

Thank you so much Kimberly!
DeleteCongratulations!!! Well deserved!
ReplyDeleteBoth machines are BEAUTIFUL!!! And I concur that a machine will tell you all about itself when you make a pair of jeans! LOL!
Enjoy!
Thank you so much Kisha!
DeleteI'm intrigued by the fancy threading on that serger - count me as one of the people looking forward to hearing more about the machine!
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing. Thank you Ebi!
DeleteThis seems like a great deal for you and for Baby Lock! I look forward to see what you do with the embroidery on your clothing.
ReplyDeleteThank you Nancy!
DeleteAny chance there's an upcoming blog post about those amazing looking jeans? If not, do you mind telling me which pattern you used? I'm about to embark on a jeans-making journey and I'm trying to soak up all the info I can lay my eyes on.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! What a nice partnership. I have BabyLock serger and I love the ease of use. Enjoy both machines!
