Hey, friends! If you’re a hobbyist looking for a powerful combination embroidery and sewing machine, the Baby Lock Altair 2 is the perfect choice. This sewing and embroidery machine has all the features and capabilities you need to take your projects to the next level.


Here are the Girlfriend’s top five favorite features of the Baby Lock Altair 2:

  1. Compact Digital Dual Feed Foot: Have you ever wondered how to prevent the stretch that happens when sewing with minky? The Compact Digital Dual Feed Foot from Baby Lock is the answer to the frustration that can come without having to pin, pin, pin! Watch as Kris shares a quick demo on how this works! This is included with the Baby Lock Altair 2!



  2. IQ Intuition Positioning App: This one is a GAME CHANGER! Have you ever had a project pop out of the hoop accidentally, or perhaps you have struggled with getting the perfect placement on a project? No need to worry any further thanks to the IQ Intuition Positioning App! Simply take a photo of your project while in the specially-marked hoop, and transfer it wirelessly to the machine. Wala! Now you can visually SEE your picture on the screen in front of you and move your design to exactly where you want it to be! Your dreams have come true! :) 



  3. Large Embroidery Field: The Baby Lock Altair 2 has a 9 1/2 x 14" large embroidery field that allows you to create larger designs. This makes it perfect for those who want to create larger projects such as quilts, bags, and other items. 



  4. The Never-Miss Needle Threader: The Baby Lock Altair 2 has a built-in needle threader which makes threading the needle much easier. A wonderful feature when projects require lots of thread changes!



  5. Guide Beam: What if we were to tell you that you didn't have to mark up another half square triangle in your life?! Would you believe us! Let us show you how that's possible with the Guide Beam feature found on the Baby Lock Altair 2.
