The Baby Lock BL35B Zeal is a mechanical sewing machine from the Genuine Collection. It has 25 built-in stitches, including utility, zig zag, stretch, satin and smocking stitches. Four of the stitches are decorative satin stitches and twelve are decorative stretch stitches.
The one-step buttonhole feature stitches a buttonhole sized to the button you place in the automatic buttonhole foot. A built-in storage compartment holds presser feet, tools and small notions. The machine can be taken to sewing classes or quilt guild meetings.
The free arm lets you hem narrow openings such as sleeves and pant legs. Remove the auxiliary bed to access it. The drop feed lowers the feed dogs so you control the fabric's direction for free motion quilting, button sewing and freehand embroidery. The machine can sew with a twin needle for decorative topstitching, using the additional spool pin. The quick-set drop-in bobbin lets you drop in the wound bobbin, run the thread tail through a groove and start sewing. A built-in needle threader is included.
