Greetings from sunny England. Thank you for such a helpful video, I have learned so much about my old machine I have an Eclipse DX for about 15 years which I hardly use as the foot control is so very sensitive and the lightest touch sends the machine off at 100 Miles a second! Well it feels like that, anyway! Is there any way to slow the machine down? I can control my sewing machine to sew 1 stitch at a time so I am not heavy footed. (BTW I love your accent and I could listen to you all day!).
@lizrichardson1440 Thank you for watching our video! The speed of the machine is only controlled by you and how much pressure you put on it. We reccommend you practice on scrap pieces until you get used to the speed then you should start feeling better about how it takes off. :)
It is possible that your foot control is faulty. I had this problem with my baby lock coverstitch and bought a replacement pedal from a uk sewing shop online. That fixed the problem of full speed only sewing.
@cfleyfel855 This does do flatlocking and comes with one overlock foot. Sometimes when there is a sale on, extra feet are offered. No it does not have an extension table available for it.
Ha ha ha.. I often get into this discussion… I am an old sailboat owner, and I always relate best to port and starboard. You described the needles as the left and right… and I watched to see if you would go to the one on your right sight… but you went to the starboard side. The green light.. So starboard is right and that means in the direction the boat goes… and of course that could be the same principle applied to most active machines. In the case of sailboats it can be life threatening if you get that mixed up because if you turn to the right you expect the boom to travel from starboard to port. If the people on the boat aren’t familiar and don’t know the terminology the boom could hit them in the head… and depending on the size of boat/boom it would range from an embarrassing bump to knocking the person off the boat. Since you all ready identify right as the starboard facing forward at the needle I wonder if you have been a boatman?? Anyway.. if I had gone to the side the same as your right hand it would have been backwards I think. I wonder if you have found mosts people to identify with the right and left side on a boat…?
I am missing something. just can not get my enspire baby lock to do the rolled hem. just can not get it small enough and the tension is also all wrong. can you help please.
@deborahward3535 To do the rolled hem you must take out the left needle, turn the large dial at the front of the machine into the rolled hem sizes (usually is named with grey around it) at 0.75, Set the width dial (small one) to M, Increase your lower looper tension to 7. The needle tension is between 3-5, upper looper is 3. Look on page 47 of your manual: www.babylock.com.au/images/machine-downloads/Enspire-Instruction-Manual.pdf If you need any further help we are available via messages on our website or email us at support@echidnasewing.com.au
thank you for the answer.. After all I ordered the enspire, I thought that for an hobby at the moment could be a good solution, and for that price I can go directly to an industrial serger.. What do you think about my thoughts? Hope I didn't a bad choice with the enspire ( 890€, in Germany) Thank you once again
You are welcome. As to whether you made the right choice - It would depend on the amount of work and whether you wanted easier threading - Industrial machines do not have the easy threading system like the Baby Lock does.
bought one pure heaven to use - the manual drove me up the wall
I recently bought this machine from you and I’m thrilled with it. Thanks for the video. Very helpful.

Does it do flatlock? What feet are included and does it come with an extension table?

Dear Echidna what do you think about the Enlighten? I mean does worth the 700 EUR on top? thank you for your support
@wertVT The ExtraordinAir Threading is a great system and adds ease of use! Definitely worth the investment :)

@NoorrulMazeeda-hu1dk You may need to take it to a technician, or change the needles depending on what you are stitching on.
