Baby Lock Pathfinder Embroidery Machine Details
Baby Lock's Pathfinder Embroidery Machine is the ideal machine to get you started on your artistic journey. This machine offers new creative opportunities for both novices and experts. The Pathfinder features Baby Lock IQ Technology™ that works with the machine's "brain" to make embroidery easier, 263 built-in designs, an 8" by 12" embroidery field, a needle beam, and much more. With all of the features packed into the Pathfinder Embroidery Machine, this machine makes it easy to bring your vision to life. Never drop your needle in the wrong position again when using the needle beam. The included embroidery foot produces a bright LED dot that shows you exactly where your needle will go. There's no more guesswork with this feature. Use the Sensor Pen to assign design positioning and placement. Touch the fabric with the Sensor Pen, and the Pathfinder knows where to place the design. You can see the needle position and select the precise placement of your design. Included with the Pathfinder are 166 Baby Lock exclusive designs, 140 frame combinations, and 19 font styles. The library features large thumbnails to make finding the right match even more accessible. You can also upload your own designs using a USB drive or by connecting directly to your computer. The Pathfinder has a large, color LCD screen that vividly displays embroidery designs, and makes it easy to change your machine settings. This screen measures 7" diagonally and shows up to 260,000 colors, so you will know what your designs look like before you sew. And as an added convenience, it also shows the date and time. You won't miss a stitch with the high-powered color rendering LEDs. Every detail on your embroidery projects will be lit up, and these bright LEDs will reduce eye strain and fatigue. The Stadium Lights illuminate a 10" area around the needle. Your Pathfinder is equipped with IQ Technology that makes sewing easy, no matter what you want to create. The automatic sensors make everything a breeze. There are thread tension controls that make tension adjustments for accurate stitches, upper and lower thread sensors to alert you when threads run out, and an on-screen hoop sensor to recommend the correct sized hoop. The Baby Lock Pathfinder features Baby Lock's NeverMiss needle threader. With all of the color changes that you'll be doing while you're creating stunning embroidery, it's a feature that you definitely need. With the touch of a button, your machine effortlessly threads your needle each and every time. Baby Lock's Pathfinder has one of the largest embroidery fields compared to other home machines. It can embroider up to an 8" x 12" area and comes with two hoops. With this vast area, you will enjoy less re-hooping so you can finish your projects faster.
