Acclaim
Model number: BLETS8AE
Bring a new sense of creative capability to your serging with the Baby Lock Accolade serger. Combine chain and overlock stitches to form stitches with up to eight threads. ExtraordinAir® threading takes your thread through all three loopers at once, instantly, with a gust of air. Plus, Accolade’s presser foot features a 6mm height that makes serging on thicker fabrics a breeze!Download the Triumph PDF Brochure.
Features
RevolutionAir™ Needle Threading
Engage the RevolutionAir™ threader, push a button and the Acclaim’s needles are threaded! Baby Lock’s RevolutionAir Threading makes setting up your machine faster and easier than ever, every single time
RevolutionAir™ Looper Threading
Insert thread into one of the Acclaim’s threading ports, push the button and a gust of air quickly pushes it through the patented tubular loopers, exactly where you need it every time. Tangles, knots and breakage are now a thing of the past!
Automatic Thread Delivery System
Set the Acclaim to the type of stitch you want and get started! The Acclaim delivers a balanced stitch on any fabric with any type of thread.
Pure Lighting with 3 LED Lights
Clearly see every stitch, fabric and thread color under three bright LED lights.
Wider Workspace – 2" to the Right of the Needle
Easily serge larger projects with room to spare. You'll love adding decorative stitching to yards and yards of fabric.
Full-Featured Single Unit Differential Feed
We’ve taken the differential feed to a new level by adding a single-unit feed dog mechanism. This ensures stronger feeding as well as consistent gathering on all fabrics.
4/3/2 Thread Serging
Finish projects with quality and versatility - easily switch from 4, 3 or 2 thread rolled hemming options.
Advanced Knife Driving and One-Way Clutch System
Baby Lock has created a knife system with a larger cutting bite that cuts thicker fabric with ease and increased visibility.
Tubular Loopers
There’s no exposed thread, no thread guides and you can thread in any order! Tubular loopers eliminate threading mistakes and protect the thread for more serging freedom.
Fabric Support System
The Fabric Support System keeps stitches flat and balanced, no matter what speed, fabric or stitch you choose. The built-in stitch fingers actually move with the knife blade, adjusting the seam consecutively with the cutting width.
Vertical Needle Penetration
While most machines use slanted needles that push and damage fabric, the Acclaim's needles are set vertically and sew directly up and down, protecting your fabric and preventing needle deflection.
Dial Adjustable Stitch Length and Automatic Rolled Hem
Stitch length can be easily adjusted on a Baby Lock serger using one dial. This dial includes an Automatic Rolled Hem setting that will retract the built-in stitch width finger for a rolled hem finish.
Exclusive Wave Stitch
The patented Wave Stitch opens your world to more decorative stitches for more creativity. Try different thread colors and stitch widths to easily serge a one-of-a-kind creation.
Looper Drive System
This exclusive Looper Drive System prevents loopers from becoming misaligned or out of time, reducing the possibility of major looper damage. This protects your machine from needing repairs, allowing you to serge worry free!
