Baby Lock Altair Sewing and Embroidery Machine
Send your creativity into a new galaxy with the Baby Lock Altair. It makes realizing your sewing and embroidery projects a reality thanks to IQ Technology™, which allows you to wirelessly transfer images to your machine from your smart device using the IQ Intuition™ Positioning App for perfect design placement in the hoop or design creation in IQ™ Designer.
Highlighted Features
IQ INTUITION™ POSITIONING APP
Use the IQ Intuition Positioning App to take a photo of your fabric in a particular hoop and transfer it wirelessly to the Altair. The image will display onscreen in lifelike color and sharp resolution, allowing you to position your design exactly where and how you want it – every time.
9.5 X 14 EMBROIDERY FIELD
Stitch more significant embroidery designs and enjoy less re-hooping with a large embroidery field.
IQ DESIGNER
Create your embroidery designs with ease. Take a photo with the IQ Intuition Positioning App and wirelessly transmit it to the Altair! Draw directly on the screen or upload it to the Altair through the USB drive if you're feeling inspired by an existing art file. Your art will be instantly digitized with the colors and fill stitches you choose.
WIRELESS CAPABILITY
Use your favorite embroidery design software like Palette (version 11 or higher, sold separately) to transmit your designs from your computer to the Altair wirelessly.
10.1 LCD SCREEN
On a large touchscreen, you'll have total control over every aspect of your stitches, embroidery designs, placement, colors, and more. In addition, it features large, clear buttons and vivid colors comparable to many popular tablets.
LARGE 11.25 WORKSPACE
Altair gives you plenty of room to work with a generous 11.25 workspace to the right of the needle. So those larger projects aren't anything to worry about!
COLOR VISUALIZER
Choose from the random, vivid, gradient, and soft, and watch as your design is transformed into an array of color combinations. Tag your favorite color combinations, then select your favorite from the finalists.
494 EMBROIDERY DESIGNS
You'll always have something to embroider with Altair's massive selection of built-in designs, including 200 exclusive designs from Baby Lock. In addition, the design library features large thumbnails to make finding the right match even more effortless.
771 STITCHES
Altair is loaded with stitches, giving you plenty of options for every project. Best of all, you can combine them for countless stitch combinations and save them in memory to retrieve them at any time.
QUICK-SET DROP-IN BOBBIN
Drop your bobbin in the machine, pull your threads through the slot, and let your machine do the rest.
NEEDLE BEAM
Know precisely where the needle will drop every time with a brilliant LED pointer on the included embroidery foot. There's no more guesswork.
