No other machine has the ease of a home model and the speed of an industrial.

You love embroidery. From the bedroom quilt to the living room curtains, your home is decorated with embroidery accents. Family and friends have all been touched by your personalized gifts. You dream about embroidering for a living.

Live the dream with the Embroidery Professional from Baby Lock. Designed for the passionate embroiderer, the Embroidery Professional bridges the gap between home embroidery machines and industrial machines. It's compact enough to sit on a table-top. And yet, has the features to quickly bring your embroidery creations to life.

Your inspiration, your creativity, and your motivation are all sewn within the stitches of your designs. With simple touch-screen editing plus four ways to access designs, the Embroidery Professional will never limit your creativity.

Benefits:

6 Needles + 6 Colors = 0 Color Changes
The Embroidery Professional saves you time and effort. With six needles, you no longer have to re-thread after every color change. Assign each needle a color, then sit back and watch as your design is stitched out at an amazing maximum speed of 1,000 stitches per minute.

Hassle-Free, Automatic Threading
Threading a needle has never been easier. The Embroidery Professional has an automatic needle-threading mechanism that passes the thread through the eye of the needle. With just a push of a button, the needle is automatically threaded.

Easily Duplicate Your Designs
Sew multiple copies of the same design all in one hoop. This feature makes embroidering badges, patches or any project that you need a repeating pattern fast and easy. Simply touch the screen to instantly add rows or columns of the design up to 30 times in both directions. No copying and pasting is necessary.

Quickly Customize with Touch-Screen Editing
Combine, reposition, rotate, change thread colors and add text, all with the touch of your finger. The easy-to-read color LCD touch screen makes editing designs simple. Customize with only a few screen selections and every design embroidered will look exactly as you envisioned. This works great on the many built-in designs, allowing you to alter them to fit your style.

Choose Designs from Multiple Sources
The Embroidery Professional has four ways to read designs. With a floppy disk drive, flash memory card slot and embroidery card slot, designs can come from anywhere. The Embroidery Professional also directly connects to your computer via a USB port. Create and edit designs on your computer and send them straight to the Embroidery Professional. With this much connectivity, you can use all your favorites from your current design library plus open doors for all new designs.
