BABY LOCK 5280E SERGER SEWING MACHINE SEWS PROFESSIONAL SEAMS QUICKLY & EASILY!
One of the fabulous ProLine series of sergers, the Baby lock 5280E Serger is a well built, mostly metal serger, the engineers created a miniaturized version of the industrial sergers used in clothing factories, making faster, more professional finishes available to the home sewer! The BabyLock Serger has built in cutting blades which trim the edge of fabric off evenly, while the 2 needles & 2 loopers rapidly create various stitches, from the heavy duty mock safety stitch, to the tiny narrow rolled hem, which can be used to add wire to the edges of ribbon or fabric, or for a curly ruffle on sheers, you can add fishing line, to help the ruffles stand out!
High speed - professional finishes FAST!!!
2/3/4 thread mock safety stitch, overlock, rolled hem, flatlock, blind hem, decorative braiding & more!
Removable stitch finger to create tiny rolled hems, storage inside machine left door to hold stitch finger & tweezers, needles, while not in use.
Differential Feed- from - .70 to + 2.0 create lettuce hems to gobs of ruffles in an instant! Lever on right side
Stitch Width - 3.5 mm to 7.5 mm if I remember right
Stitch Length - 1 mm to 4 mm
Locking blades can be disengaged, if desired, the upper knife pushes in & rotates up out of the way.
Excellent high quality machines, made to last more than 1 lifetime, much heavier duty than the models sold today. Despite enjoying the opportunity to use a Babylock Eclipse, the Imagine Wave, & Evolve Serger coverstitch overlock serger sewing machines, I actually purchased another Baby Lock Pro Line BL4-5280E, then the BL4-838D, because they feel so heavy duty, so quiet (if kept cleaned & oiled properly), & I can get so much done, so fast, & they seem to last forever! It is a luxury to keep one serger set for 3 threads, one for 4, & one for coverstitches, but if you can, this is the ultimate setup to have, & I really LOVE these BabyLock Pro sergers, as long as they have not been abused.
Ask the seller to unscrew the thread stand from the machine, & to pack the machine & thread stand very carefully, & ALWAYS insure them when shipping, these machines are a serious treasure, well worth the extra care to get them where they are going, safely! Happy Serging!
