Can I Try a Baby Lock Overlocker Before Buying?

Short answer: yes—ask Fabric Mouse to arrange a demonstration before choosing. Handling a machine yourself is a useful way to judge threading, fabric control and the finished edge.

What should I bring to a demo?

Bring samples of the fabrics you actually use: a stretch knit, a woven fabric or a layered seam if those are typical projects for you. Ask to see a thread change, a standard overlock seam and the difference between an overlocked edge and a coverstitched hem. If you are choosing between models, the Baby Lock Victory, Acclaim and Euphoria answer different needs.

Demonstrations are by appointment, so we can have the relevant machine and materials ready. Contact Fabric Mouse to arrange a visit and tell us which models you would like to compare.
