Baby Lock Splendor 8 Thread Serger & Coverstitch Combo Machine
Move Beyond a Standard Serger
The Baby Lock Splendor is where serging shifts from basic finishing into true garment construction. Most sergers operate with 3 or 4 threads, but the Splendor goes further—up to 8 threads—unlocking a completely different level of strength, flexibility, and stitch capability.
You’re not just finishing edges anymore. You’re building seams that hold up to real wear, stretch, and movement.
Why You’ll Love It
- No manual threading—loopers AND needles are air-threaded
- Automatic tension for consistently perfect stitches
- Faster setup so you can start sewing immediately
- Premium performance for serious sewists
Advanced Features That Make A Difference
Jet-Air & ExtraordinAir™ Threading
Threading is handled with air—no manual guiding through complicated paths. Even at this level, setup stays fast and simple.
Engage the RevolutionAir™ threader, push a button and the Splendor's needles are threaded! Baby Lock's RevolutionAir™ Threading makes setting up your machine faster and easier than ever, every single time.
Automatic Thread Delivery™
No tension adjustments required. The machine automatically delivers the correct amount of thread based on fabric type, thickness, and stitch selection. Consistent results, every time.
With the ATD system on the Splendor, the exact amount of thread is delivered for all of your Overlock stitches, regardless of the fabric thickness of the type of thread you're using.
Chainstitch + Cover Capability
Expands beyond traditional serging. Useful for reinforcement seams, garment construction, and professional finishing techniques.
Whether you’re constructing garments, finishing home décor, or adding decorative details, this expansive stitch library gives you the flexibility to handle virtually any sewing project with confidence and ease.
Differential Feed
Gives you full control over how fabric moves. Essential for knits, stretch fabrics, and lightweight or shifting materials.
The Baby Lock Splendor features an advanced differential feed system with longer, wider feed dogs. It ensures consistent feeding to prevent puckering or stretching, especially when working with stretchy materials, by allowing fine-tuned adjustments.
What Makes This Machine Different?
Most sergers focus on:
- Edge finishing
- Basic seam construction
The Splendor adds something else: Structure.
With 8-thread capability, you can create:
- Stronger seams
- Reinforced construction
- Multi-function stitches in one pass
It also keeps the features that make Baby Lock machines easier to use:
- Air threading
- Automatic tension
So even though it’s more capable, it doesn’t feel more complicated.
What You’re Really Paying For Here
Most garment sewing is done with 3 or 4 threads, which is enough for:
- Basic seams
- Edge finishing
But in some cases, you want more:
- Stronger seams
- More stability
- Multiple stitch systems working together
That’s what higher thread counts allow.
The Splendor sits in that space:
More capability than a standard serger, without going all the way to a flagship system.
