Keep reading to learn more about this machine!
Love of Sewing Membership (Optional)
Enjoy the peace of mind, knowing your machine is covered with a Love of Sewing Membership. This membership is a comprehensive service, support, and maintenance program that protects your machine for an additional four years. You get yearly maintenance and support from Baby Lock-certified technicians, so you’ll never have to worry while you sew. Stay current on the latest tips and tricks with unlimited access to Baby Locks online SewEd Classes taught by Baby Lock Education experts. Babylock currently has over 2,000 classes, with new ones being introduced regularly! Your membership has three components: Love of Knowledge, the Service Program, and the Savings Opportunities. When combined, these components enable you to maximize the performance of your new Baby Lock.
Digital Dual Feed System
The Ballad comes with a digitized walking foot that uses a belt to assist you in guiding your fabric through the machine evenly and without fuss. This is essential for guaranteeing straight lines and even seams when working with heavy material, several layers, quilt sandwiches, and bias bindings. The Baby Lock Digital Dual Feed also comes with an on/off switch, so you can disengage the upper feeding function without removing and replacing the foot.
LCD Touchscreen Display
Ballad has an exceptional LCD Touch Screen display that is crisp and user-friendly, making it easy for you to customize the settings on your machine for the specific task you are working on. With a 7" diagonal length and 260,000 colors, you'll get a high-definition interface that's painless to use.
All the stitches you need
With 771 built-in stitches, you'll have many creative options. You'll find something for every project, from numerous utility stitches to decorative ones. Your options include 13 traditional straight/zig-zag stitches, 14 overcasting stitches, 14 automatic 1-step buttonhole stitches, five font types, and surplus decorative stitches.
Control Functions
Ballad comes with the following features: start/stop, reverse, lockstitch, and needle up/down buttons, plus an automatic thread cutter, presser foot lifter, speed control, and automatic needle threading buttons.
Knee Lifter
Using the knee lifter, you can raise and lower the presser foot with your knee, leaving both hands free to handle the fabric.
LED Lighting
Never miss a stitch with the ultra-bright LED lights located above the needle. These bright lights will help reduce eye strain and keep you sewing longer.
Built-in Storage
The Ballad is equipped with an accessory compartment located on the side of the auxiliary bed to store extra presser feet, bobbins, needles, and a seam ripper, so you never have to worry about misplacing them.
FREE Bonus Accessories ($433 Value)
Receive 60-days of free access to Baby Lock's SewED Online machine classes, an open-toe ruler foot, a 1/4" sole with guide for a digital dual feed foot, an open-toe sole for a digital dual feed foot, a stitch in the ditch sole for digital dual feed foot, an edge joining foot, a darning foot, and a 10 spool embroidery thread stand.
Advanced Multifunction Foot Control
The machine includes two foot controls that can perform three tasks. As is standard, pushing the primary foot control forward drives the machine, but with the click of a heel on the back of your pedal, the device can trim your thread, sew in reverse, change the needle position, or sew a single lock stitch. The function performed is based on whichever setting you choose. You can also program the additional foot pedal to perform any of the previously mentioned functions. Switching from task to task, securing seams, and turning corners have never been so easy!
Never-Miss Automatic Needle Threader
The NeverMiss Automatic Needle Threader does exactly what it promises. It’s never been this fast or easy - the Ballad threads your needle with little more than the push of a button.
Large Workspace
Baby Lock designed the Ballad quilting machine to take on the most demanding projects. With 11.25" to the right of the needle, this workspace accommodates large projects like king-sized quilts. Baby Lock also designed an optional Extension Table, and we carry customized Sew Steady Acrylic Tables to expand your space even further.
Customizable Needle Position
Achieve the perfect scant 1/4" seam or sew on the very edge of your fabric by using the needle position function. You can nudge your needle left and right in .25 mm increments using your LCD touchscreen! Any true quilter knows that perfection comes down to fine details, and this function gives you complete and total control over the size of your seam allowance, right down to the smallest measurements.
Telescopic Thread Pipe
As you may know, quilting can eat up a great deal of thread. This is why many of us prefer to use industrial-sized spools such as King Tut or Signature Quilting Thread. The Babylock Ballad comes with an optional telescopic thread pipe for you to use with these larger spools or for when you're doing free-motion quilting.
INCLUDED ACCESSORIES
Touch pen (stylus), Knee lift, 13 Feet, Compact Digital Dual-Feed System, 1/4″ Quilting foot with a guide, Buttonhole, Overcasting, Monogramming, Zipper, Zigzag, Blind stitch, Button fitting, Free-motion quilting, Free-motion open toe quilting, Free-motion echo quilting, Straight stitch, Multi-Function Foot Control, 2-thread spool stand, a Specialty bobbin case for bobbin work, Cord guide bobbin cover, Straight stitch needle plate, Softcover for the machine, Twin needle, and a 60-Day Trial of Online Sewing Classes.
Koala Compatible
Complete your sewing and quilting room with a durable Koala sewing cabinet. Koala makes sophisticated furniture, perfect for curating an attractive creative space while protecting your investment by safely storing your machine when not in use. With customizable features to ensure an exact fit for your machine, every Koala sewing cabinet is made to order and built to last a lifetime.
The Baby Lock Ballad comes with a factory warranty, which gives you the ultimate peace of mind with your purchase. Your machine will be covered for 25 years to be free of defects in product casting due to imperfections in workmanship and materials. Ten (10) years covers your machine from defective mechanical parts due to flaws in workmanship and materials, excluding normally expendable parts. Two (2) years cover your device from defects in the electrical equipment.
