NEW! Baby Lock Applaud Coverstitch Serger Deposit

Creative Stitches

The Baby Lock Applaud Coverstitch Machine offers a versatile selection of stitches designed to provide professional finishes on a wide range of sewing projects. It features several coverstitch options, including narrow, wide, and triple cover stitches, allowing you to create strong, flexible seams ideal for hemming knits, finishing edges, and adding decorative touches. The chain stitch option adds another layer of versatility, perfect for seams that require extra stretch and durability.

EXTRAORDINAIR THREADING

ExtraordinAir instantly takes thread through all loopers with just a gust of air. Threading has never been this fast, easy, or extraordinary! Selecting the threading position is no longer necessary. All looper threads may be threaded simultaneously or individually with this feature. You no longer will need tweezers or thread guides; plus, if a looper thread breaks or runs out, re-thread it. There is no need to follow a specific threading sequence.

KNEE LIFTER

Take control of your fabric with the help of the included knee lifter on the Applaud. This hands-free option allows you to move the presser up or down without using your hands. This attachment is easy to install and comes in handy when pivoting fabric. If you move the knee lifter to the right, the presser foot will rise, and the feed dogs will lower. When the knee lifter is returned to the left, the presser foot lowers, and the feed dogs rise.

Built-in Needle Threader

The Baby Lock Applaud Coverstitch Machine is equipped with a convenient needle threader that simplifies the often tedious task of threading needles, saving time and reducing frustration. This user-friendly feature effortlessly guides the thread through the needle's eye with a quick and precise mechanism, making setup and adjustments much quicker, especially when using multiple needles. Designed for ease of use, the needle threader is a valuable addition for sewists of all experience levels, particularly those who frequently change threads or work with fine or slippery threads that are otherwise difficult to handle.

By eliminating the strain and hassle of manual threading, the Baby Lock Applaud's needle threader enhances the overall sewing experience, allowing you to focus more on your projects and less on the setup process.

Speed Control

The Baby Lock Applaud sews up 1500 stitches per minute, so the Speed Control Slider provides the flexibility to adjust sewing speed according to your project's needs, offering a smooth transition from slow, precise stitching to faster speeds for straight seams and longer runs. This feature is especially beneficial for beginners or when working on detailed or delicate sections, allowing for greater control and accuracy.

By enabling you to set your preferred pace, the Speed Control Slider enhances both safety and stitch quality, ensuring a more tailored and enjoyable sewing experience.

Adjustable Foot Height & Drop Feed

The Drop Feed System is a must when working with delicate and high-loft fabrics. Raise the presser foot with the knee lifter or lever, and the feed dogs lower automatically, making it easy to position your fabric under the presser foot. In conjunction with the drop feed system, there is the adjustable foot pressure. The presser foot pressure has been preset by the factory and rarely needs adjustment. However, when working with specialty fabrics or creative techniques, it may be beneficial to adjust it with the dial on the left side of the machine. Decrease the pressure for thick fabrics and increase the pressure for thin fabrics.

Dial Adjustable Stitch Length

The stitch length adjusting dial is conveniently located just to the left of the front cover, near the base plate. The dial shows the stitch length ranging from 1mm for the shortest stitch to 4mm for the longest. Turn the dial, aligning the desired setting with the indicator mark on the machine. A stitch length of 3mm, or about 10 stitches per inch, is ideal for most fabrics. For seaming very lightweight fabrics, you may prefer a shorter stitch length. When sewing heavier fabrics, you may choose to lengthen the stitch.
