Our friends at Baby Lock have excellent advice for achieving beautiful embroidery on any machine. As guest bloggers this week, they point out the necessary steps to take get professional results on your embroidery machine. Plus, they have a VERY generous giveaway this week! Read on for details…
The Value of Hooping Correctly
Hooping has a huge effect on your embroidery quality. Because of improper hooping, it may look like you were using poorly digitized designs. Fortunately, that is not always the case!
To help you avoid painful outcomes. Here are a few tips:
- Launder the fabric you’re going to embroider on. Use the same laundry settings and detergents that you would use on an everyday basis for that item.
- Stabilize properly to prevent the fabric from puckering. Use water soluble topping to stop stitches from sinking into fabrics-with a high nap such as towels.
- Always use embroidery supplies purchased from a reputable source. Because of their quality, sewing threads for example, are not good for embroidery. Using quality embroidery supplies will keep your embroidery machine happy and healthy for many years!
- Change the needle with every new project you start. Because of a bad needle, your machine may miss stitches resulting in a poorly stitched design.
- Don’t gamble. Do a test stitch out of the design with exactly the same materials (threads, stabilizers and fabric) you plan on using on the final project. This will help you see if you made good choices with the selection of stabilizers and threads. If possible, use the same thread colors to make sure all of the colors work well together.
“In the Hoop” Embroidery – What It Is & When to Use
This term relates to placing the fabric in the hoop for stabilizing during embroidery. “In the hoop” embroidery is usually used whenever you will have little to no problem hooping the fabric. To summarize – if your item is large enough to be hooped, the fabric is not too heavy and the hoop won’t damage the fabric, it is usually easier and better to hoop.
“Floating the Fabric” Embroidery – What It Is & When to Use
This term relates to cases when you hoop only the embroidery stabilizer. The main material you want to embroider on is not hooped, but is floated over the hooped backing. Sometimes this can be achieved using temporary spray adhesive or a sticky backed stabilizer. But the result is always the same. The backing is carefully hooped, and the fabric is secured over it.
This method works well for several different fabrics:
- Small items that cannot be hooped such as collars, cuffs, kids clothes, bags, mug mats, or any other hard to hoop items.
- Bulky fabrics such as polar fleece, bath towels, fur etc.
Materials that can be damaged or stretched if hooped – like corduroy, velvet, knits, paper, leather or slippery fabrics. Hooping these materials could bruise the fabric leaving a hoop burn on the fabrics.

10 years agoI would love to own a higher end quilting machine! Thanks for the info oh proper hooping… IT was helpful! 🙂
Barbara
10 years agoWould love to upgrade from my non-Baby-Lok machine. Would also like to try a serger.
Jan
10 years agoMy husband bought me a combination birthday and Mothers Day gift of the Babylock Ellisimo Gold II. I’m in heaven. I can’t imagine what this machine can do. It is so user friendly and it came with everything I could possibly need and use. The only reason I go out of my sewing room now is for necessities & classes.
The store He purchased it from. Is”The Sew Studio” in Maitland, Fl. Oh, did I tell you, I have unlimited free lessons. I can’t begin to tell you how knowledgable the instructors are. I love working with Lyn.
I had a non Babylock top of the line (in its time) it cost a fortune just to purchase options that didn’t come with the machine, not to mention the cost of the machine. I wish I would have checked into Babylock long ago. I definitely would buy a Babylock serger.
Good Luck shopping for your new Babylock!,,,
Sandra Schutz
10 years agoI would love a new serger. The Ovation would be wonderful, but would gladly be happy with the Lauren.
Melissa B
10 years agoThe next Baby Lock machine I would love to have is the Tiara, for quilting or to upgrade my Evolution serger to the Ovation. As a proud owner of Baby Lock machines, that would be my only choices.
Paulette Kellerher
10 years agoI would love to get the Ovation Serger.
Darlene Pino
10 years agoMy first serger is the ovation, and it is awesome! so easy to use.
Judy
10 years agoWould love the Ovation serger as my Evolve is ready to be replaced. Also, an Ellissimo Gold would be a great addition to my sewing studio! I have not used the Bacy Lock sewing machines, just the sergers.
Jennifer Berry
10 years agoWould love to have Ellisimo Gold 2! Thanks for the tips!
SpencersDd
10 years agoI love all of the Baby Lock products! I purchased the Evolution Serger last year and am still learning the marvelous things this great machine will do. I would love to have the Ellismo Gold Sewing and Embroidery Machine. I enjoy making and embroidering items to give as gifts. Everyone seems to love seeing their name or initials. Thank you so much for the wonderful products, fabulous personnel and company with a heart for it’s customers.
Linda Stemler
9 years agoI just purchased a new Babylock Tiara II sit down quilting machine and have completed my very first self-quilted quilt. I was very pleased with the results. It’s not a long arm, but it was affordable and fits the bill. If I could have another Babylock machine, I would go for a serger – haven’t ventured into that area yet and would be willing to try.
Valerie Gwara
10 years agoOf course I’d like the Ellisimo Gold 2. It has soooo many features.
I sew for my family and don’t need (yet!) a multi needle machine. I also make a lot of garments.
This machine seems be the best for both sewing and embroidery.
Tracy Payne
10 years agoI would love the Baby Lock Ellisimo Gold II. I love the precision screen, and its capabilities seem endless .
Nancy Eidsmoe
10 years agoElissimo Gold, or Enterprise. I’d love to get a business going, and I’d also love a great embroidery/sewing combo. I love my serger, and think Baby Lock rocks. I’m ready to move up from my Duetta, which has the worst auto threader ever.
Karen
10 years agoGet rid of the Duetta….biggest mistake I ever made! It’s needle threader never worked, the thread cutter never worked and the poor thing needed the walking foot to do most of the sewing I tried to do. I just bought a 10 needle Enterprise….today! I have been saving for this machine for ten years….first lesson tomorrow. I saw the Elissimo Gold demonstrated and think it blows the Duetta out of the water.
Darlene Gerber
10 years agoBabylock Ellisamo
Beth
10 years agoI recently upgraded my Baby Lock Ellageo to the Baby Lock Ellisimo. I am amazed at all the bells & whistles on my new machine. I am taking classes from the dealer to learn what I can. I loved my Ellageo but I think I’m going to be over the top with my Ellisimo!
Nancy Carr
10 years agoI’d love to have the Ellisimo Gold 2. I’m ready ready for an upgrade.
Nita Carr
10 years agoWell, I purchased an Ellegante 3 alittle over a year ago and have fallen in love with it and the with idea of owning a 6 needle now !!! So –I would love any multi needle machine that Baby Lock sells. I also own a Baby Lock seger and it is a work horse that I cannot live with out. So I am happy with my Baby Lock purchases so far–but the multi needle is in the future.
Pamela Black
10 years agoI love the Ellisimo Gold 2. As it has everything, from Embroidery to Decorative stitches, to just sewing seams. I have made many things on mine. When I bought mine 4 years ago the sales clerk told me to take it home try it and see what I thought. It is very easy to learn the different steps. And with the help of Sewing with Nancy and You, Eileen I have grown. So A Big Thank you to both for sharing your knowledge.

Linda McKay
10 years agoThanks so much for the article, there’s always something new to learn about hooping as stabilizers and thread and hoops evolve, it’s an ever changing thing. If I could choose any BabyLock machine I would love to have the Long Arm Quilter, there would certainly be a learning curve but I’m up for the challenge!

Lynette Oliver
10 years agoI would LOVE to own the BabyLock Ellisimo Gold 2. It has a large embroidery area, the ability to create your own designs and lots of fonts. With all the decorative stitches and the ability to sew as well as embroidery, who wouldn’t want to be the proud owner of this beauty. I would never get any sleep because I’d be sewing and embroidering to use up my large fabric stash.

10 years agoI would like to have the Ellegante II sewing/embroidery machine. It would do bigger designs than my 5″ by 7″ hoop. I have seen how the machine handles and I would definitely find it easy to pick up and do any project I want to do. Also, the Ellegante II is just the right size for my sewing table that I have my sewing machine on right now.
Edna

Without a doubt, I am a dedicated Babylock embroiderar and seamstress.
Teresa Vicars

10 years agoI have dreamed of having the Baby Lock 6 needle ever since the first ne came out. I have one of the second generation Estante, I bought back in ’93 or ’94. Also I have the Ellageo Plus.

Bobbie
10 years agoOmg…the Ellisimo gold 2….it would be crazy…I would have to shake myself to make sure I wasn’t in heaven
Barby
10 years agoI would choose the Ellisimo Gold II. I have a babylock sewing/embroidery machine that is probably 15 years old. It still stitches beautifully but I’m ready for USB memory and a larger embroidery field! I could then give my Esante to my niece to encourage her as she continues to learn.

Maureen Mcgraw
10 years agoI have never owned a serger. Really want a Ovation. I love the ease of threading, so great for a novice serger person. It is a beautiful machine.
Melissa Rosander
10 years agoI’ll be honest here- my husband recently purchased me a top-of-the-line sewing & embroidery machine from another company. I was so excited about learning it and the possibilities I would have creating that I decided I would try and start my own little home business out of it to help support my family. I got it in November and it’s already been in the shop for fixing twice. Infact, it’s in the shop now and I should have taken it in sooner but I was determined to fight with it and make it stitch right to no avail. Thank God maintenance is covered by the warranty for the first year, but I must admit this machine I thought I had fallen in love with is not living up to my expectations at all and I’d give anything to be able to replace it. I wish I had known more about Baby Lock before my husband took me to Joanne’s! The Ellisimo Gold 2 seems so innovative and full of features. If I could replace what I own already, I think I would get that! That being said, I do have a sewing/embroidery machine currently, even if it’s not really useable and problematic. Since replacing it is not really an option, my 2nd dream would be to own a serger. I’ve heard they make finished edges a dream! Since I’ve never used a serger before, I’m not sure which one to pick, but I’d be excited even just to have a beginner machine like the Lauren or maybe even the Diana to learn on!
Kristi
10 years agoI have had other machines and I do believe that BabyLock makes the best machines. They are so solid and sew and embroider wonderfully.
Melissa Rosander
10 years agoI had heard that the brand I have is wonderful, holds their value, etc etc…. but boy I’m getting a completely different side. I’m very disheartened with it. The dealer at the store is really nice, but the machine is very problematic. It’s the most expensive thing I’ve ever owned in my life and to have it behave like this is more than disappointing. I’ll be in the market for a different brand if they don’t get it fixed right soon. Next time I’ll definitely do more comparison shopping.
Cindy
10 years agoIt would be the Ellisimo for me. I would so love to have that camera and the larger hoop size. I would also love the bigger border hoop.
Debbie Wakelee
10 years agoI would love the newest Babylock Enterprise. Ohhhhh! Ten needle with all the goodies and upgrades! Yeah, baby!

10 years agoHa ha, as tempting as it is to make numerous Star Trek references, I will just say that the Enterprise would make my day!! I have drooled a few times over the website. I would also like to have a go on a newer serger, mine was made in 1984.
Joaniez

Lola Gerhard
10 years agoI would love to have the Ellisimo Gold 2. I used it at a recent embroidery show and was impressed with all it can do. I also would like a long-arm machine like the Tiara and be able to quilt my own quilts instead of paying someone else to do it.
Jeanette Friscia
10 years agoI would love to have the Babylock Ovation Serger and someday an even bigger dream I have is to own a Babylock Crown Jewel Long Arm Quilting machine.

10 years agoI already have the an Baby Lock Ellisimo Gold 2 and I love, love, love, it! I really like the convenience of being able to do so much without having to change machines.

Elizabeth Will
10 years agoI would love to have thte Ovation serger. It would be very helpful finishing embroidery projects, clothes and adding interest to quilts, embroidery and other projects. The Enterprise 10 needle would be nice also to due embroidery faster.

10 years agoWOW, Eileen! You’ve really hit on a super topic that ‘if wishes could come true’ what Babylock machine would we all love to have in our sewing room! So many ideas! I would love to own the Ovation Serger. All of its amazing features–air threading, super lighting, the large throat space, speed control and all the stitch combinations (especially the wave stitch)–would certainly make this a fabulously fun addition to my sewing room! Now if only….

Frances Powell
10 years agoI have Babylock’s Grace Sewing Machine, Evolution serger, and the 6-needle embroidery. I love every one of them. They all work so hard for me and are so dependable. I would love to add the 10-needle to my team of Babylocks.
Barbara Schwartz
10 years agoWould love any of the sergers

Helen Harris
10 years agoI absolutely love my Babylock Ellisimo. I do a lot of embroidering for family especially grandchildren and friends. I would love to have the Babylock 10 needle. First of all because it is Babylock and secondly because of the camera on it. I have been saved many hours with the camera on my Ellisimo. If I don’t win it, I will never get it!
CaroB
10 years agoI am fortunate enough to have the Ellisimo Gold & the Evolution serger. I am very happy with what I have, but a 10 needle would be nice in my fantasy world.

Lisa Boyer
10 years agoI was fortunate to have received both a Babylock Ellisimo and an Evolution as gifts. I previously had a Bernina Embroidery machine. The Babylock has been wonderful and I have taken several classes by Eileen Roche online. The information presented here is excellent and Eileen’s teaching has taken me from a somewhat timid embroiderer to a confident one. Thank you so much for all of the great information. I hope someday to own a multi-needle machine and a Tiara as I am an avid quilter. Now that my kids are a little older, I am finding more time to sew and it helps me to relax! Thank you again!!

Maga
10 years agoHaving followed this blog as well as Nancy Zieman’s I can see that any Babylock machine would be an improvement on my current sewing machine! They always seem to work flawlessly – you don’t see them eating the thread when seams are started, cut the threads when asked and not leaving huge thread nests that stops the sewer from sewing. I have already decided that my next machine will be a Babylock and I am constantly checking my piggybank’s bacon to see if she is fat enough 🙂
Thank you for the chance to win goodies and the very informative article on hooping.
Carmen Wilson

10 years agoMy dream would be to own their best combo sewing/embroidery machine. I bought their “Diana” serger and after two weeks was back at the dealer upgrading/trading her in on the “Evolution” because I fell in love with Babylock and now plan on eventually upgrading my Brother Innovis 2800 to a Babylock combo machine so I will be an all Babylock sewing room.. As far as which beautiful model, I have to say it will be the best one I can afford at the time. Of course I want the top of the line, who wouldn’t, but they are all good so I can’t go wrong with any of them.. This was my plan and reading your blog and the assignment it just felt like you were speaking directly to me..

10 years agoThere is no doubt that the Babylock Ellisimo Gold 2 would be the machine I’d want, and not be wanting another after that. I’ve been watching it for a number of years and love the upgrades, and have seen a number of demos, along with trialing it myself. Spectacular. I’ve got the Evolve serger which is great – no more sweating over threading!

Carol
10 years agoBeam me up Scotty, I’d absolutely love to have the Enterprise!!
Patty Fiske
10 years agoEnterprise
Debbie
10 years agoAt this point I think that I would go with the Tiara. It’s hard to choose from all the machines, right? I have the Ellisimo, and I will say thank you over and over to the shop where I purchased my machine–the ladies there spent hours helping me to choose so that I purchased the right machine the first time!!!!
Nancy Weber
10 years agoI would love to have the top of the line embroidery machine with the largest hoop available! If you are going to dream, dream big. Hugs.
Carol Kapsalis
10 years agoI would love a multi thread unit. I just started embroidery a few months ago with a single thread and already am wishing for the multi thread unit.
Pat
10 years agoWould love to own the Ellisimo Gold II. I took a class recently and some of the ladies had this machine and were singing its praises. Loved the big screen and being a quilter loved, loved, loved the large space foe quilting. For baby gifts, I take an 18″ piece of Minkie and embroider either the baby’s initials or name on the diagonal and then back it with a fat quarter of a coordinating print. This size is perfect for covering the baby in a car seat, bouncy seat, etc.
Sheila Cupples
10 years agoI would love to have a new Baby Lock multineedle Embroidery machine.
Ruth
10 years agoI would LOVE a Sashiko machine. I have tried it out at my dealer, and she let me use it for some finishing stitches on a jacket I made. It’s beautiful

Maria S
10 years agoOh My ! The Enterprise would be at the top of my list !
Barb
10 years agoThank you for the hooping tips! But to choose one machine is difficult. I have a Baby Lock Unity and just love it. I have done soooo much sewing, and embroidering with it. I have dreamed of all the things I could do with the Ovation Serger, and the Enterprise 10 needle Embroidery Machine.
TRACY AKSCHAMOWITSCH

Donna Klug

Dale Fedor
10 years agoI would love the Ellisimo Gold 2. I’ve always have had a BL. Thanks
Carole D
10 years agoI already own my dream machine – the Babylock Ellissimo Gold 2. Have had it for about four months now and I am very pleased with it so far. Much easier to use than my former embroidery machine of another brand! I would someday like to have a Babylock serger also, but will be a little while until the purse can extend that far.
Montell Lanier
10 years agoI would love a 6 or 10 needle Baby Lock machine.
Sharon Sproles
10 years agoI am fascinated by the technology featured in the Crescendo! Everything I read about the Guide Beam, Sensor Pen, and Digital Dual Feed tells me it would fit perfectly with my other Baby Lock machines.
Barbara Jones
10 years agoI love my Ellissimo Gold!! (Almost as much as I love my husband, who gifted me with it) Now I dream of adding the stitch regulator. . .
Michelle Norris
10 years agoI have the Imagine server and love it. I would love to upgrade to the Ovation, but my wallet won’t allow me! I had owned Viking machines for years and yes they are excellent machines but I am so enjoying the Babylock machines now. Thank you for the great hooping tips!
Dinah M.
10 years agoI would love to have the Baby Lock top end serger! What a dream machine.
Brenda Melahn
10 years agoI would love to have the Crown Jewel quilting machine. I am very blessed to have an Ellisimo embroidery machine that was my retirement gift and I LOVE it. Still would love to learn to machine quilt.
Donna
10 years agoThank You for the wonderful information and helpful hooping tips. I am just beginning my embroidery adventure. I thing the Babylock Ellure Plus would be my machine of choice. It has lots of built in designs and stitches so I would be able to sew and embroidery on the same machine instead of having two separate machines.
Joy Carroll Miller
10 years agoThe Ellisimo and Evolution have been wonderful workhorses! A multi-needle embroidery machine, an up-grade to Ovation serger, a Tiara, and a Sashiko are on my “want” list! Thanks for all you assistance.
susan james
10 years agowould love to upgrade to the ovation serger.
Sheila
10 years agoI would love the Babylock 10 needle.
Rita Rodenbaugh
10 years agoThe next Baby Lock machine I would love to have is the Ellissimo Gold II. I have the Ellageo and the Imagine Serger. The shop where I purchased my machines has closed due to the owner retiring. My absolute dream would be to re-open that shop and fill it with all the Baby Lock machines available!
Sophia Hall
10 years agoI would like a working serger–I love how Nancy Zieman advertises the “whoosh” when it threads easy.
Ruby
10 years agoI would love to get an Ovation serger. I have a hard time threading the one I have. I got a Baby Lock embroidery machine last year, love it.
Joanne Gilliam
10 years agoI would love to have self threading serger. SO much valuable time is lost trying to thread correctly. Sometimes, I just have to walk away from the machine.
Jane Cornett
10 years agoI Would Love To Have The Babylock 10 Needle With The Camera. After Attending The Stitching Sisters Event AndSeeingWhat It Can Do I’m In Love.
Linda Harrigan

Fonda
10 years agoI just love Babylock.. I have an Ellegante.. But my dream machine is an Ellissimo. Price is out of reach right now. I love to watch Nancy Zieman. She has the best machines out there. It is amazing what you can make with a Babylock.
linda staiger
10 years agoI would love to have a 12 needle machine as I have been collecting fabric and designs for a long time now and I am putting together a sewing romm and that is ‘THE’ item I am saving for now.
Darlene Graham
10 years agoMy dream machine? The Enterprise. With the super large hoop (7 7/8″ x 14″) and 10 needles I can only begin to dream of all the decor projects and quilts I could complete.
Marilyn Weiss
10 years agoAn Endurance 2 or better yet, an Enterprise. Love all of the Babylock Products. Always have, always will.
Robbin E. Dillon
10 years agoI am returning to machine embroidery after an almost 25 year ‘rest’ – I’d be honored to be the winner of this prize! My dream machine? The Enterprise!! Multi-needle is the next step – someday….. in the meantime, I’ll keep busy with my single needle!
Kay Schroeder
10 years agoAs a recent retiree, my goal is a quilt for all my children and grandchildren (9 at this point in time). A Tiara would be a big help. I have seen one up close and personal and could barely stop drooling.
Laurie W
10 years agoI do not have a serger, sew would like to own the Ovation
Carolyn Goodworth
10 years agoWould love an Ellisimo Gold, but what I really need is a new serger. My old serger is so old and difficult to thread. I need a 4 spool Baby Lock Serger!!
Sally Kalb
10 years agoOh my goodness! I am such a Baby Lock girl. I have the Baby Lock Embellisher machine and an Evolution serger. My pride and joy is my Ellegante 2 that I just had upgraded to 4. My husband teases me that I love my Baby Locks more than I love him. Whenever they need to have their annual checkups, I make sure it is a time when I will be out of town so I won’t have sewing withdrawal. My machines survived our move from Ohio to Arizona. I took them in the RV with us; I didn’t trust my babies with the movers!! I would love to own a Tiara or, in my wildest dreams, a Crown Jewel for quilting. I am hooked on Baby Locks!
janice
10 years agoI would love the “new” serger that came out for Babyloc. I purchased the top of the line 7 yrs ago and I would love to use the top of the line today. It has so many new features that I would love to use in my sewing.
Cathy Bremer
10 years agoI would love the new serger! I as the women who wrote before me have the top of the line older serger but took it to a class and it couldn’t do what the instructor wanted us to do! I love my old machine just missing the new features!
Debi Farrell
10 years agoMy dream machine has always been the 10 needle since it came out. I currently own 3 Baby Lock machines – the Sofia 2, the Ellegante 2, and the Ellisimo Gold which I saved for 2 1/2 years to purchase. I frequently have all 3 machines going at once. I am trying to start a business and the 10 needle would allow me to so anything my customers would want! The features are second to none. The support you get from the dealers and Baby Lock are awesome – I have never had an issue that was not solved from one or both. The projects and Sew at Home classes are great too.

Linda Burwick
10 years agoI attended a workshop yesterday at my local Babylock store and got to work with an Ellisimo II. It beats my Esanto all to pieces! It has so many wonderful technological features, but I loved the larger 8×12 hoop and the bigger size in the hoop projects that could be done.
Christina
10 years agoI would love to have a crown jewel – but I would also need more room for it!
judy Williamson
10 years agoI have a Babylock Elegante and LOVE it! I would like to have a 6 or 10 needle Babylock to go along with it.
Christine Gibbons
10 years agoI would love the Ellisimo Gold. I do have an Ellure Plus that I love dearly.
Debbie Myers
10 years agoThe next step for me would be a multi-needle embroidery machine, the Enterprise. I am a quilter as well and would also love to have the Crown Jewel. I recently retired and dream of spending my days in my sewing room!
Royce Zook
10 years agoOwning the Enterprise, Ellisimo Gold, Evolve and Audry it hardly seems there would be more to wish for but, the Ovation has the features which bring serging into the realm of ease similar to the Ellisimo’s impact on fancy stitching and embroidery. My wife has found serging to be her major method for stitching all projects and the Ovation’s added throat space, knee control, speed control and the fantastic air threading make it a machine worth dreaming for.
The advice on hooping for embroidery is priceless!
lorene taylor
10 years agoThe Ellisimo, that is one nice machine!
Barbara Leatherman
10 years agoI would love to have the Ellissimo Gold. I have a different brand embroidery machine. I used the Ellissimo Gold in a class I went to. I fell in love with it, just can’t afford it, but still hoping.
Jackie Peters
10 years agoI love Baby Lock quality and when I can afford to replace my 10 yr. old Bernina I would love to get the Baby Lock
Elissimo gold 2. They are so much less complicated. I have a BabyLock serger and it is fantastic. I would not want another brand!
missy k
10 years agoI would want an Enterprise. I am very interested in a multineedle machine. I have heard good things. Besides, who wouldn’t want a machine named after a Star Trek reference.
Colleen Gnehm
10 years agoI have already splurged and spoiled myself and purchased the Ellisimo Gold, and Ovation. Two great and wonderful machines. Wondering why I waited so long. If I were lucky enough to get another machine, it would be the Enterprise. Machine embroidery has become an addiction for me. Love, Love, LOVE Baby Lock products.
Glenda
10 years agoGold, let’s go for the Ellisimo Gold 2 and the silver for the Ovation serger.
Dale Skinner
10 years agoI would love to have a Babylock Ovation serger. I think I would love to learn to serge.
Penny
10 years agoGot the Ellisimo Gold II a couple of months ago so am still in the learning phase, but absolutely love it. Once I got over the initial intimidation factor, it’s actually pretty easy to use. Loving the embroidery capability and already sold 1 design. Hoping to start a small business. So, if I could get another machine, it would have to be a larger embroider machine.
Mary
10 years agoThe Ellisimo Gold is my choice of the next Baby Lock to own.
Thanks for the tips on hooping.
Rhonda Higgins
10 years agoI love my Esante but would love to have the Ellisimo Gold 2. Would love the bigger hoop.

Anne Groskreutz
10 years agoThanks for the hooping information!
I have a BabyLock Pro serger that I got in ’89 and would love to have any of the new sergers with the Jet air threading… it would be much easier with my “old eyes”. Have always loved my serger and it is still serving me very well.
Suzanne Felckowski
10 years agoI have a Baby Lock Imagine Serger & a Spirit Embroidery Machine, Would love to have the Ellisimo Gold 2. A Sewing/Embroidery Machine would not only complete my craft room, but condense the space needed. I LOVE Baby Lock !!

10 years agoWould like to learn how to digitize the designs so that I can edit them or make them larger or smaller depending on what I need at the time. I have a program, but can’t get it to do very much.
Mary Jean
10 years agoIt would be nice to have an embroidery machine that could do larger sizes then 4×4, I also make quilts, so would be nice to have a quilting machine which I will never have because I can’t afford one. I will have to use stitches on my regular machine or do it by hand. I try to make a quilt each year to raise money for the Pharmgirls Diabetes Walk Team. Mary Jean’s Walk Page

Pam Uhan
10 years agoI would love the Ellisimo! What a beautiful machine. Just got a Spirit and can’t wait to dig into embroidery!!!!

10 years agoI would love to have the Tiara with Tru-stitch–long arm function in a sit down model–my back would thank me!
Denise Monday
10 years agoThat is a tough question! Wow! I love to quilt and embroider both. I think for an embroidery machine, I would have to choose the Enterprise, and for a quilting machine, I would choose the Tiara. I have been drooling over both of them for quite a while now.
Althea McRae
10 years agoEllisimo Gold! I have had the Ellageo for 7 years and when I upgrade I want to go for the Gold!

Sharon Smith
10 years agoI would love to upgrade to the Baby Lock Enlighten serger. I can’t wait to try the wave feature. Of course, the Baby Lock Ellisimo would be a great help in finishing my long list of unfinished projects.

10 years agoI have a serger, not Babylock, that is a nightmare to thread. I dream of an air-threading Babylock that I have seen on Nancy’s TV show. Thanks for the chance!
Perri Hogue
10 years agoIf I could have any machine I wanted I think it would be the Serger machine Evolution. I have an Ellisimo but I think that a serger would be a complete set. A serger would make project finishing easier and increase the scope of things that you could make. If you had the Ellisimo AND the Evolution you could make anything!!
Saralyn
10 years agoI would love the Ellisimo Gold. I have just retired and hope to do both the embroidery and quilting projects that I previously did not have time for.

Paula R.
10 years agoI love all of my BL machines – I have the Ellismo Gold, Ellegante II , Evolve and Enlighten sergers. If I could have any other BL machine, it would have to be the Enterprise 10 needle embroidery machine. There’s nothing like a BabyLock Machine!!!!
Belinda Germain
10 years agoThe info on hooping was very good. I would like, no love!, the Ovation. I do alterations and mending for friends and family and the Ovation would give a more professional look to those items. I love my Babylock BMP8 too i have been sewing since I was 8years old, mostly self taught. Quilting, embroidery and sewing are my passions.

10 years agoI recently finished a couple of quilts (my first in 20 years). I am so glad they did not end up as UFO’s (unfinished objects). I think it would be sensational to use the BabyLock long arm quilting machine, the Crowne Jewel. It looks really sweet:). Love the article!!
Sharon Rogers
10 years agoI would love to upgrade my 21 yr old serger to the Evolution!! It is so hard to thread my old one that it doesn’t get use much! Even the Enlighten would be wonderful.

Darla
10 years agoAnd, a Babylock long arm machine Is on my wish list!

Kathryn Hayes
10 years agoThe BabyLock Ellisimo is the most user-friendly machine I have ever owned and in the 63 years I’ve been sewing I’ve owned quite a few. I would love to upgrade to the Ellisimo Gold 2 and the Ovation, even though I do enjoy my Evolve serger.

Sandra Sanders
10 years agoI would love to have an Ellisimo Gold 2 embroidery machine. It has so many wonderful features! It’s largest hoop is much larger than my largest hoop. The LED lighting – woo hoo! I love the idea of the needle light, so that I can see the center of the design. Those are just some of the features that really get me going about the ELlisimo Gold 2 embroidery machine.

Sally Hudson
10 years agoI would love to have the Ellisimo Gold, I have gone up from an Ellure to an Elageo to an Elangante – so next one is the gold – I really love the Babylock = they stand behind their product – I would also love a Serger but maybe later.
joyce
10 years agoI have the Elllisimo Gold machine and it is my dream machine! Keep finding new things I can do on it . I like how Baby Lock has the option of purchasing an upgrade when something new comes out instead of other machine companies want you to purchase a complete new machine. Good marketing for Baby lock.
Brenda Shelton

10 years agoI am about to be a grandmother for the first time. Baby due in August. I own the BabyLock Imagine and it is a dream machine. Being recently retired, I have added the BabyLock 6 needle embroidery machine to my bucket list. I am learning the embroidery process and have mastered many techniques with you assistance. My embroidery machines largest hoop is a 5 x 7 so I am saving dollars to get to the next level. Reading this blog has helped me tremendously and I can’t thank you enough. I look forward to making many many baby gifts. Thank you for your assistance.
Crissy Caldwell
10 years agoI’d love to have the Ovation Serger. We have an embroidery/sewing machine that was my first embroidery machine. Learned on it a decided to go bigger. We purchased the Babylock Emp6, so we now just use the combo machine as a sewing machine. With a sewing machine and embroidery machine, a serger would make a great companion. I love the features of the Ovation. My Mother has a serger that I hate to use because of having to thread all of those needles by hand. The Ovation features the ExtraordinAir system that does the threading for you. Love that! I also love that it has the Knee Life function. How wonderful it would be to have the ability of using both hands to guide your fabric through the serving process. I’ve had my eye on the Ovation ever since I saw it work in our local sewing shop. I was amazed!
Patty
10 years agoI would love an Ellisimo Gold II and the evolution serger! I think they are both great machines.

Karen Storer
10 years agoI love my babylock machines. I have the Esante 2, the Ellisimo and the Eclipse and Evolution Sergers, I recommend to everyone I know to purchase babylocks because they are sooooo easy to use and results are fantastic. If I was given the chance to upgrade one of my machines, it would be a difficult choice, but looking at all the upgrades on the sewing machines, I would have to opt for the Ellisimo Gold 2 or one of the babylock/brother long arm machines…
Donna
10 years agoI would love to have the Ellisimo Gold. I am going to quilt show to look into getting one.
Carole D
10 years agoJust stopped last night at my dealer’s shop and looked at the Enterprise. Would love to try a 10 needle embroidery machine, although I am very happy with my Ellisimo Gold II.
Mary Parker
10 years agoHi Eileen,
I have the Ellisimo, but not the Gold, but I love my machine! I think it is the most user-friendly machine to use! I have lots of other brands but the Baby Lock is by far the easiest to use, and getting the gifts from Baby Lock will really help me to do more beautiful embroidery!
Thanks,
Mary

10 years agoSo where’s the “very generous give-a-way”? Enjoyed reading your article. Lots of good information.
Mimi
10 years agoI’d love to have the Enterprise!
Sharon L. Davenport
10 years agoI truly enjoy sewing so much more now that I have been able to add four different babylock machines to my family. Love them all with their ease of using them and how they help in keeping the young onesm getting discouraged
Sharon L. Davenport
10 years agoFrom getting discouraged by how easy they are to use. Would love the enterprise
Pat Bartholomew
10 years agoI have a small home embroidery business that I want to build upon since I will soon be retiring from my 9 – 5 job. The 10 needle embroidery would certainly help as well as a serger. With all the sewing I have done throughout the years I have never owned a serger. BabyLock is by far the best machines I have used.
Angela Brady
10 years agoJust checked the website, and I would love a Babylock Ovation Serger. I have sewing and embroidery machines, and a very old serger. I’ve heard Babylock are the best.
Thanks
MoeWest
10 years agoAn Ellisimo Gold would be lovely!
Annemarie McCoy
10 years agoI am thinking of one of the magical self threading Babylock sergers.
Linda W
10 years agoI have an Ellageo–and it’s wonderful. But, I would love to have the Ellisimo Gold 2! It would be great to have the larger hoops and the Neelecam for embroidery positioning.
Terri Stockinger
10 years agoI just upgraded to the Ovation serger, and just love all the improvements! The Babylock serger has definitely added less stress and more fun to my serging!
Jean Guenther
10 years agoI would love to have the ovation . I sadly traded my baby lock for a pfaff and am very disappointed. I used that baby lock for over 10 years sewing every day and never once had a problem. I am so sad to have changed.
Olivia
10 years agoI’ve been “longing” for the Unity since seeing it in action at embroidery club. I have viewed the Unity video numerous times and because I want to do it all – sewing, quilting, and embroidery, the Unity is my choice. I’m convinced the convenience and technology of the Unity – the automatic sensors, the editing features, the large hoop, accessories, and the built in help would all assist me in making many of my dreams come true.
Phyllis Pope
10 years agoI have used Baby Lock embroidery machines since about 2004. I loved watching the demonstrations at quilt shows around the U.S. so I went to my local Baby Lock dealer and purchased the “beginner machine” and have upgraded about every four years. I love the quality of the machines and the “extras” that I get on each upgrade. My ultimate dream is to make it to the Ellisimo Gold. The extra length of the arm and the larger hoops are what I would love to have to work with.
Denice Weys
10 years agoI would of course ask for the Ellisimo Gold 2. I have an old Ellageo with a floppy drive and it is still going strong but one has dreams if funds were not limited. All Babylocks seem well made. My sister has a 20 year old serger we share and it too is still going strong.
Barbara
10 years agoThe 10 needle embroidery and the ovation are on my wish list. It’s like Lay’s potato chips….you can’t just have one! I have the elegante and LOVE IT!! The 14×14 hoop on the 10 needle is fabulous. I plan to embroidery many quilts in the hoop. Also love the camera and positioning system for hooping. Would love the ease of hooping bags, sleeves, and pants legs! The beautiful stitches the Ovation are so amazing. I would love being able to do a real coverstitch hem on the ovation and not a twin needle on the machine.
Sharon Taugner
10 years agoI have never owned a serger, but since I love knitting on my Brother knitting machines and embroidering on my knits with my Ellagio, I’d love to own an Ovation serger. Been looking at them for a while.
Pam
10 years agoI would love the Enterprise. I have the small multipurpose Brother right now and would enjoy the chance to make great projects and possibly turn it into a business! My current sewing machine is a quilter’s choice and I could not have asked for a better machine — way ahead of its time when I first got it.
Sheila
10 years agoIwould love to have a babylock 6 needle embroidery machine!!!
Marge Geraci
10 years agoI would love to upgrade to the Ellisimo Gold. This is my dream wish.
Dawn Taylor
10 years agoI would love to have an Ellisimo Gold 2. It’s time to upgrade my old machine soon (a Brother 4000D.) Dreaming probably….. how to get hubby on board? I love my Baby Lock Enlighten serger!
MJ
10 years agoI would love the Crown Jewel long arm with the computer

Please please please….long arm quilting is my
next adventure!

Linda Mitchell

Judy Donnelly
10 years agoI have many baby lock machines but if I were to get a new one, I think it might be the Crown Jewel.
Brenda McNeil
10 years agoI would love to have an Endurance multi needle embroidery machine and a serger. I have never used a serger but I do sew and embroidery alot using my Elligante 2.
Sue Winnie
10 years agoI would love to have the crescendo. I have 3 other baby locks and would love this one 2.
Calla Ferguson
10 years agoThe Ovation Serger of course! Silly question……lol lol
Cindy Amend
10 years agoI would love to own an Enterprise 10 needle machine.
Carol Hofstetter
10 years agoI have the Baby Lock Elegante 3. I would love the Enterprise 10 needle and while I’m dreaming the Tiara also! I do both quilting and embroidery and both machines are in my dreams. I LOVE Baby Lock!
Ellen Kautz
10 years agoI’d like to have the Tiara. I piece a lot of quilt tops and quilt them on my Baby Lock Quilter’s Choice Professional that I bought used seven years ago. The stitch quality is wonderful and it’s a real work horse. It’s also great for piecing. However, I really would like the extra quilting space that the Tiara provides. It would make my quilting so much easier and more enjoyable. I also have an Elissimo Gold that I absolutely love. The Elissimo stitches the most beautiful embroidery trouble free. It is so easy to use. The big, bright screen and the Never Fail needle threader sold me since I’m “of a certain age.” Being able to update the machine’s firmware is such a great idea. The Baby Locks are so user friendly and just keep on stitching with no problems. Maybe someday I’ll win the lottery so I can adopt a Tiara.
Vicky Isliefson
10 years agoI would choose the Ovation Serger.

10 years agoI help sew quilts for World Wide Relief. Our church could use another sewing machine, bless you for the opportunity to win one.

Doreen
10 years agoI’d have a tough time choosing. Either The Ellissimo Gold or the 10 needle Enterprise. Both look like excellent machines. The cameras are great options on both and snow man placement are amazing because sometimes you just don’t get the hooping perfect. Okay more often than I would care to admit. I guess I would have to say if I can only pick one it would be the Enterprise. No wait the Ellissimo Gold.. I mean the 10 needle. Too tough a decision!
Susan Weber
10 years agoI would love a Baby Lock multi-needed embroidery machine. I have a Brother embroidery/sewing machine but would love a larger one to do larger projects and hats. Would be so much fun to make hats for my grand children. It would also be so much easier to do the pant legs of purchased pants.
Sandy Eustace
10 years agoSince I just got the Ellisimo Gold 2 a week ago I would have to say my machine of choice is without a doubt the Babylock Ellisimo Gold 2. Am learning how to use and having a really fantastic time.
Becki Bowman
10 years agoThe Babylock Enterprise❤️

Maria Laurence
10 years agoWould love to own the Ovation serger. Thanks for the tips on hooping correctly.
Janet Sorensen
10 years agoI have an Ellageo 3 and an Evolution, which I love, but would love to upgrade my Ellageo 3 with an Ellisimo Gold 2! I have never enjoyed sewing and embroidering more than with my Baby Lock machines.
Karen Wells
10 years agoI have a Baby Lock Estante2 and have used it for many years. (purchased in 1998) It still sews and embroiders beautifully. The only issue I have is the size of the embroidery hoops. I would LOVE to upgrade to the Ellisimo Gold so I could enjoy the larger designs.
Tamra Botkin
10 years agoIt would be such a blessing to win any of the Baby Lock machines!! I really need a serger so I would choose the “Evolution”. Like the one Nancy Zieman uses on “Sewing with Nancy”.
Pamela Whatley
10 years agoI would love to have the “Sophia”–so I can do embroidery away from home!
Sandra Hammond
10 years agoI want the BabyLock serger that air threads and no manual tension! That sounds like serging heaven.
Jerlyn B. Hutto
10 years agoI would love to have the Babylock Ellisimo Gold or the Ovation Serger. I would give it to my 12 year old granddaughter who loves sewing on my machines. She is a very talented young sewer and I encourage her at every turn. Have carried her to Martha Pullen School of Art Fashion for three years and hoping we can go again this year in July. She would think she had died and gone to heaven if she had one of these machines. I would, too, because I only have the Ellisimo and Evolution but I do love those Babylock machines of mine.
Julie Daugherty
10 years agoI bought the Ellisimo Gold 2 years ago and I absolutely love it. At the moment I’m drooling over the Sashiko machine, it would be so much fun to be able to combine these stitches with the embroidery work! Next up would be an Ovation serger.
Faviola Martinez
10 years agoI’ve been wanting a new server and my choice would be the wonderful Ovation!

Janice
10 years agoWould love to have the Spirit. I could embroider while sewing on my Ellegante 3. Then after getting a Baby Lock serger… heaven!
Paige
10 years agoIf I could have any machine, it would be the Endurance 2. 🙂 Of course, I would be happy with any Baby Lock. What a great product!
Ann
10 years agoWould love to have A Baby Lock Embroidery machine with good quality, at least two hoops, added designs, etc. I have a
Baby Lock Serger and love it!!!even though a few years old.
Now that we on fixed income, my hubby got me a much cheaper
line of embroidery machine and no lessons or instuctions and it was not BabyLock.

10 years agoI’ve had 7 terrific years with my Brother Innovis 4000D, but I would really like to have the larger hoop size of an Ellisimo Gold.
terrry
10 years agoI have an Ellismo and an Ovation, I think I’d like one of the multi needle machines
Linda Lester
10 years agoI just upgraded from an Esante for 7 years to the Ellisimo Gold 2 and haven’t had the chance to u box it yet! I’m so excited! The machine I would like to have would be the Tiara for quilting. I love the Babylock machines!
Nancy Newcomb
10 years agoWould love to have a multi-needle machine
Mimi McNairy
10 years agoIf I could own any Baby Lock machine, I would own the Crown Jewel. It’s the perfect machine for any home/business sewing studio. The projects you could make and finish with the Crown Jewel are endless and it will provide owners with heirlooms that will be treasured for centuries to come.
Myron Ridgeway
10 years agoWhen is Baby Lock going to offer a magnetic hoop like your competitor has. I can see a lot of uses for it with the Embroider work that I am doing now. I then wouldn’t have to use the spray adheasive which makes a mess at times.
It would also make it a lot easier to reposition the material once it is on the machine and not centered just where you want it.
Thanks
Mary Beth Gibbs
10 years agoI received a wonderful gift of a Baby Lock Journey Sewing/Embroidery Machine about a month ago. I am SO thankful for it and started making gifts for me, family, and friends right away. Since I’m not close to a retail store, I’m learning on my own and loving it. The gift offered today would be an added bonus. Thank you, Baby Lock!!

Veronica Siegel
10 years agoWow. I have “another” brand and it is very limited and I would quit my job and embroider all day with a new Baby Lock Enterprise. That ranks right up there with retirement on the beach in Costa Rica!
Awesome!
Mimi McNairy
10 years agoBaby Lock Enterprise is the machine for me. What a workhorse! Baby Lock is the best — and if you dream of owning your own business you need the best.
Myron Ridgeway
10 years agoI love my Baby Lock Esante BLN machine. It is soo much easier to use than the other machine I had. If I had it to do over again I think I would of liked to gone to the next higher model. I haven’t looked into it, but it would be nice if it had a color screen as well as a larger screen so that you can see just where it is stitching.

Mary D
9 years agoGreat post with helpful information. If I could have ANY Babylock??? I would love the Unity. I already have 4 Babylock machines; sewing, embroidery, serger and embellisher! Best ever machines.
Mimi McNairy
9 years agoWow! This would be a hard decision to make – but I narrowed it down to 3 choices – the Enterprise, the Crown Jewel II, and the Sashiko 2, but not necessarily in this order.
Lois Rosenlof
9 years agoI would love the Baby Lock Ellisimo Gold II. I have heard so many good things about the precision screen, and its endless. It would be wonderful to be able to upgrade my current machine to a Baby Lock product!
Melissa Vaughn

Becky Windham
9 years agoThe Babylock Ellisimo Gold. I have a Symphony and am very happy with it but hear great things about the Ellisimo Gold.
Donna Austin
9 years agoI would love to have the top of the line serger. ..is that the Ovation? My current server is giving me fits.
Eunice Misbe
9 years agoMy first Baby Lock was an Ellageo ESG purchased back in 2002. It still sewed beautifully, actually, but I upgraded to an Ellegante 3 after Christmas and love all the new features. I also upgraded my old, old Baby Lock serger BL 3200 to a previously owned Evolution.
What I would love to get now is a nice Baby Lock starter machine for my 12 year old niece who is interested in learning to sew. I would like to get her a sewing/embroidery combo because she would have a great time with embroidery too. But….my shoestring isn’t long enough right now, lol.
Cheryl Bassler
9 years agoI would love the ovation serger!!!! Thanks for the helpful tips.
Sheila
9 years agoI disagree with this definition of “IN THE HOOP” ……“In the Hoop” Embroidery – What It Is & When to Use
This term relates to placing the fabric in the hoop for stabilizing during embroidery. “In the hoop” embroidery is usually used whenever you will have little to no problem hooping the fabric. To summarize – if your item is large enough to be hooped, the fabric is not too heavy and the hoop won’t damage the fabric, it is usually easier and better to hoop.
I think it is a project started and finished/constructed entirely “IN THE HOOP”
juditZ
9 years agoAs I am loosing my eyesight for the moment with cataracs, and hands with carpal tunnel I would love machine with auto threading. The threaders on most are not that sturdy. Also love the camera feature to audition fabric for the design before sewing it out. That would be fantastic. Babylock has been a very good brand for years. Some others at JoAnns are in the repairshop way too often for the cost of the machines. So sad. juditz

7 years agoWe just got the Alliance back in September and are already over a million stitches just practicing and learning. So I would like the Valiant from the embroidery line. On the other hand, the wife wants a serger, so I would consider the Ovation or Evolution.
Dianne Finnegan
7 years agoI am new to machine embroidery so I would really like to learn more on the Ovation. I would take classes at our local Babylock shop which really helps in the learning process.
Christin G
7 years agoI would love the endurance II! I have out grown my current embroidery machine but at the same time I am just starting my own business. So money is tight and I can’t upgrade at the moment. I have found a new love in sewing and embroidery and it has become my daily therapy. It makes me so happy to see people get excited when they receive what they ordered from me! I am also interested in sergers!
Fran Bruce
5 years agoI would love to own the Solaris. I have visited my dealer numerous time and what I’ve seen, this machine is the machine to top all. I love to embroider and create. It would definitely be my hero. I have owned 4 embroidery machines by Babylock and this is my machine choice.
