Baby Lock Vesta Sewing & Embroidery Machine Details

Take your creativity in any direction you choose with Baby Lock's Vesta Sewing and Embroidery Machine. This single-needle embroidery machine offers you all the convenience of a high-end device at a lower price. The Vesta includes hundreds of designs and stitches and even allows you to create your own designs. With Baby Locks IQ Technology, you can easily edit your plans on the large LCD screen. Some of the convenience features packed into this machine include one-touch buttons, a free arm, a programmable needle up/down, a quick-set bobbin winder, and more. With all the innovative features and tech packed into the Vesta Sewing and Embroidery Machine, you will never run out of projects to choose from, whether sewing, quilting, or embroidering.

301 BUILT-IN STITCHES™

Never miss a stitch with the 301 built-in options to choose from on the Vesta. This versatile machine has everything from utility stitches, decorative stitches, buttonholes, fonts, and more. You can even save stitch patterns that you have customized in the machine's memory or USB flash drive.

ADVANCED NEEDLE THREADER

Threading your needle on the Vesta is so easy you can do it with one hand! With just a few easy steps, your needle is threaded and ready to go, so no more straining your eyes or struggling to fit your thread through the eye of the needle. You can use the threader on needle sizes 75/11 through 100/16, but it cannot be used on wing or twin needles. When using transparent nylon monofilament or specialty threads, it's not recommended that you use the needle threader.

PUSH-BUTTON FEATURES™

One-touch buttons make it simple to choose your settings on the Vesta. The seven operational controls allow you to position the needle up or down, cut thread, reverse stitch, reinforce stitches, raise and lower the presser foot, adjust the sewing speed, and start/stop sewing.

QUICK-SET, TOP-LOADING BOBBIN

Changing your Class 15 bobbin just got more manageable on the Baby Lock Vesta. This sewing and embroidery machine features a built-in bobbin winder as well as a quick-set feature. All you have to do is drop your bobbin into the machine, guide your thread through the slot, and the machine will take care of the rest.

Automatic Presser Foot Pressure

The thickness of the fabric is automatically detected, and the presser foot pressure is automatically adjusted with an internal sensor while sewing to ensure that your material is fed smoothly. The fabric sensor system works continuously while sewing. This function is helpful for sewing heavyweight fabrics or quilting.

LCD Color Touch Screen

The full-color liquid crystal display (LCD) screen measures 4.85" by 2.5" and allows you to control all aspects of your Vesta. It displays everything from your stitch count to presser foot recommendations, needle positions, stitch width/length, hoop size indicator, and more. To help maintain the LCD screen if it gets dirty, lightly wipe it with a soft dry cloth.

THREAD COLOR SORTING

Save time when embroidering with the color sort key. Anytime you are embroidering the same design more than once in the same hoop, the color sort key rearranges your embroidery order, so you don't have to stop for thread changes as often.

PROGRAMMABLE JUMP THREAD TRIMMING

The thread trimming function will automatically trim any excess thread jumps within the color, saving you endless amounts of time. You can even select the length at which jump stitch trimming starts. Having the Vesta automatically cut your jump threads after each individual color segment keeps your embroidery looking neat and prevents those tiny threads from sticking up.

ON-SCREEN EDITING

Babylock's Vesta allows you to edit almost any aspect of your designs with the built-in software. You can resize up 20% and down 10%, rotate, edit fonts, move, create mirror images, and more directly on the LCD screen. As you make these changes, you can see them update live on the screen. Other editing functions include the ability to adjust your thread colors, edit each character individually, change spacing, and fonts.

LARGE EMBROIDERY FIELD

With the Vesta's large embroidery area, you won't be confined to what designs you can create, plus you won't have to stop and re-hoop as much. The machine has a 6-1/4" by 10-1/4" embroidery area and can sew upwards of 850 stitches per minute. The Vesta has a stitch capacity of up to 200,000 stitches in a single design with a 9-point trial checkpoint. You can save your embroidery designs to the 1MB of storage built-in the machine or on a USB stick. Supported embroidery file types: .pes, .phc, and .dst.

293 Built-In Embroidery Designs

Never run out of inspiration with the 293 embroidery designs built into your Vesta. Options include 16 built-in fonts (including large block and exclusive script), florals, borders, seasonal images, animals, holidays, and Baby Lock exclusive designs. You can check out a complete list of designs here with this free PDF. If all these options don't include what you are looking for, you can design your own patterns and transfer them to your machine.

Auto Resume

Even if the power goes out in the middle of embroidering, you will be able to get right back to the exact stitch and placement where it left off without missing a beat.

Optional Palette Software

With Baby Lock's new Palette 11 Embroidery Software, you'll be able to create and edit embroidery designs easier than ever before. This advanced software takes your machine embroidery capabilities to the next level. You'll enjoy premium auto-digitizing, easy design editing, new patterns, and more. The Palette 11 offers improved functionality that makes every step of digitizing easier, and the new interface makes it easier than ever to use.

WIFI ENABLED

By using Design Database Transfer, you can easily send your designs from your computer to the machine. Also, when a WLAN (Wi-Fi) connection is enabled, you will receive notifications when new updates are available for your Vesta.

Design Database Transfer

Managing your embroidery designs has never been easier! Download Design Database Transfer, a FREE data management tool, to easily view embroidery designs in your library and transfer designs wirelessly to your Baby Lock Vesta with a WiFi connection.

This software allows you to easily move .pes, .phc, .phx, and .dst files to your machine while also organizing your design library. You can create new folders, transfer/copy files to new locations, change file names, or delete files you no longer need. Quickly search for an embroidery design by title, format, stitch count, size, etc. Review embroidery design info such as size, estimated sewing time, and number of colors.

ADVANCED PIVOTING FEATURE

When sewing circles or corners, being able to change directions smoothly is a must. Turn corners, follow curves, and maneuver around appliqué shapes easily when the pivot key is selected. Once the pivot key is activated and you push the start/stop button, the machine stops with the needle lowered (in the fabric), and the presser foot is automatically raised to an appropriate height. When the "Start/Stop" button is pressed again, the presser foot is automatically lowered and can keep sewing. This function is useful for stopping the machine to rotate the fabric.

Remove the auxiliary bed in the Vesta to access the free arm or lower your feed dogs. This narrow arm is used to hem cylindrical textiles such as shirt sleeves and pant legs. This feature is a must-have for seamstresses and tailors.

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 Vesta is equipped with two accessory storage compartments. Located on both sides of the auxiliary bed are handy compartments that can hold extra presser feet, bobbins, needles, and a seam ripper.
