Baby Lock New Accessories Motor-driven dual feed accessory for Unity and Crescendo. You ll notice that this embroidery foot has a plug.

This is only one of the many intelligent technologies in this new series of machines.

Let s call it magic, for our purposes, but it s really a highly innovative system that positions guidelines for sewing and embroidery.

4 Baby Lock New Accessories Motor-driven dual feed accessory for Unity and Crescendo. You ll notice that this embroidery foot has a plug. Well, that s for the laser light that shoots a little dot down onto your fabric showing the position of the needle or the center of the design. This is only one of the many intelligent technologies in this new series of machines. You ll also be able to perfectly position your embroidery design using the ultrasonic pointer and laser guideline marker. Let s call it magic, for our purposes, but it s really a highly innovative system that positions guidelines for sewing and embroidery. You can use the pointer to position guidelines for stitch-in-the-ditch quilting and perfectly aligned topstitching. You can even tell your machine when to stop a decorative stitch pattern, and it actually will rescale the design to fit the area (no kidding) and will end it at the END. Who knew? The Ellisimo Gold has many innovative features that are sure to spark your imagination. Built for sewers, embroiderers, and quilters alike, the Ellisimo Gold is the perfect tool regardless of your inspiration. There are fabulous editing features for stitches and embroidery designs, and a large throat space perfect for quilting. Take advantage of this golden opportunity, and try the Ellisimo Gold sewing and embroidery machine. If you re a quilter, or a sewist who deals in slippery or hard to negotiate fabrics, you ll simply adore the motor driven dual feed accessory (or mini-bobcat!) This gizmo is belt driven and, well, let s just call it magic again so I don t have to schpeel off a series of technological unintelligible gibberish. Combine this even feed foot with the aforementioned guideline and get amazingly consistent stitch-in-the-ditch quilting. Yes, even I did it to near perfection. I always wanted some attachment for my walking foot for stitching in the ditch, but this laser function is waaaay better. Ah, there s more. Well, actually, sew much more! Be sure to follow us on Facebook so you can find out when we are planning our kick-off for the new fall lineup. If you know you can t live without any more information, be sure to come by and we will share what we know. Did I mention the 11-1/4 sewing surface area, the enhanced stadium lighting that is 150% brighter (each bulb) than the current lighting system, the optional multi-function foot control, the stunning built-in embroidery designs including a whole new vine alphabet, the 1050 stitch per minute speed?
