Our take on the Baby Lock Joy Sewing Machine

The Baby Lock Joy (BL25B) is a mechanical, non-computerized sewing machine with 19 built-in stitches, a built-in needle threader and two needle positions. It weighs 11.5 lbs and has built-in accessory storage, so it is easy to carry to classes and set up on a small table. It suits beginners and casual sewers who want simple dial controls rather than menus. Against computerized rivals it gives up automatic buttonholes, auto tension and auto thread cutting, but it is simpler to learn and less to go wrong.
