Our take on the Baby Lock Zest mechanical sewing machine

The Baby Lock Zest is a mechanical sewing machine aimed at beginners and simple projects. It has 15 built-in stitches, adjustable stitch length up to 4mm, a four-step buttonhole and a front-loading Class 15 bobbin. A free arm and a portable build make it easy to carry to classes or use on a small table. It is a basic machine: no speed control, no needle threader and no automatic buttonhole, so sewers who want those features will need to look at a step-up model.
