Babylock
OVATION OVERLOCKER BLES8
Purchased 18th May 2019. Comes with original box and all accessories that came with it. Has been used to make one peg bag. Absolutely love this machine, was my dream purchase, however have been made redundant at work so am unable to keep it. I will only post within the UK to established bidders with positive feedback.
Combined overlock and coverlock machine. Comes, of course, with the unique jet-air threading system and automatic thread delivery system. Dreams are there to come true! The Ovation is the dream of all sewing dreams and has now become a reality!! The baby lock Ovation sets new standards for combined overlock and coverlock machines. There are no limits to your creativity. It makes even the impossible possible.
You can use up to eight threads simultaneously to produce wonderful, incredible and outstanding decorative effects. This machine lets you combine overlock, coverlock or chain stitches however you like. In no time at all and without any difficulty! The Ovation easily takes you to wherever your sewing wants to be. Thanks to eight different thread guides. And it goes without saying that you can define the threading order yourself! No need to laboriously follow any threading points. Forget about loose threads and all the associated tangle and frustration. The Ovation naturally features baby lock's fully automated jet-air system to thread the loopers too. Just place the thread in the desired looper port, push the button and hey presto, the looper is threaded completely and automatically. If you like, you can also thread all three loopers at once.
Thanks to the automatic thread delivery (ATD) system and the stitch selector, you no longer have to worry about thread tension adjustment. All your stitches will now look perfect, no matter which sewing thread quality you use, from an ultrafine through to a strong thread. The presser foot pressure can also be adjusted separately and adapted to your needs. Only a baby lock offers the exclusive wave stitch that is an absolute eye catcher. Say goodbye to frustrating unwanted puckering or wavy seams with knitwear or very fine fabrics. The adjustable differential feed (0.6 – 2.0:1) gives all stitches a perfect look. What's more, the Ovation even copes with large sewing projects without any problems. The wide throat provides plenty of space to move large amounts of material during sewing. The baby lock Ovation's six LED lamps light up your workspace perfectly so that you can still see your sewing project when it gets late if you simply can't stop.
FRONT FACING PRESSER FOOT LIFT
A presser foot lever fitted at the front is another new feature offered by the baby lock Ovation. You can raise the presser foot of your baby lock Ovation simply from the front, no need to fumble around at the rear of your machine and can keep your eyes on your sewing project.
WIDER THROAT SPACE
The Ovation boasts a Whopping 140mm Throat Space, allowing more space for your sewing projects.
NEW - JET AIR THREADING SYSTEM
The ingenious jet-air threading system makes threading your Ovation child's play. From now on, you are the one who defines the threading order. You no longer need to follow any coloured threading points or start again from the beginning because of a threading error. Forget about loose threads that may cause tangles and confusion. Simply choose the desired looper thread, insert it into the threading port, push the button and the yarn will be threaded up to the tip of the ovation's looper as if by magic. In fact, all loopers will. The jet-air system of your baby lock eovation is simply ingenious!
DIFFERENTIAL FEED
Stretch fabrics often cause problems such as puckering or distorted seams that leave you in despair. Thanks to its differential feed, the ovation guarantees an optimum feed of stretch fabrics and thus prevents puckering or protruding seams. You can also use the ovation's differential feed to produce fanciful gathering or stretching effects.
NEVER WORRY ABOUT THREAD TENSION AGAIN!
Thanks to the automatic thread delivery system of your baby lock Ovation. Simply choose a stitch, set the thread delivery system correspondingly and start sewing.
No more tiresome tension adjustment every time you use another fabric, stitch or thread thickness.
There are three sensors - stitch width sensor - stitch length sensor - fabric thickness sensor - that help you produce perfectly balanced stitches on your Ovation – with no ifs and buts! Don't leave the thread tension to chance. You can trust your baby lock Ovation blindly. See for yourself!
