Large Embroidery Area
9-1/2″ X 14″ EMBROIDERY FIELD
The Altair allows you to embroider oversized designs with less re-hooping with its large 9-1/2″ by 14″ embroidery field and capability to accommodate 700,000 stitches in a single hooping. Included with the machine are four hoops: 9-1/2″ x 14, 9-1/2″ x 9-1/2″, 7″ x 5″, and a 4″ x 4″.

AUTO RESUME
Even if the power goes out in the middle of embroidering, you will be able to get right back to the exact stitch and placement where it left off without missing a beat.

NEVERMISS AUTOMATIC NEEDLE THREADER
The Baby Lock Altair features Baby Lock’s NeverMiss needle threader. With all of the color changes that you’ll be doing while you’re creating stunning embroidery, it’s a feature that you definitely need. With the touch of a button, your machine effortlessly threads your needle each and every time.

IQ DESIGNER
Creating unique embroidery is easy when you’re the designer! The IQ designer feature of the Baby Lock Altair makes it easy with built-in shapes. Jump right in and soon you’ll be creating one-of-a-kind designs that can match or compliment your fabric. Choose from any of the built-in background fills, to flood an area with instand stitches. Pair it with the IQ intuition on your phone, and you can seemlessly go from photo to fabric. You’ll be amazed as how easy the process can be!

WIRELESS CAPABILITIES
Built into the machine are wireless capabilities. 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.

IQ INTUITION POSITIONING APP
Use the free IQ Intuition Positioning App to take photos of your fabrics in a special, coded hoop and transfer it wirelessly to the Altair. The image will display onscreen in crisp focus, allowing you to position your design exactly where you want it. Altair also comes with a needle beam so you can make sure your needle is positioned precisely where you want it!

10.1″ LCD SCREEN
The Altair Sewing and Embroidery is equipped with a 10.1″ LCD Touchscreen, that’s the same size as a tablet. From this screen, you can control every aspect of your project. Choose or change stitches, embroidery designs, placements, colors, and more.

TOP LOADING BOBBIN
Bobbin changes are effortless with the quick-set drop-in bobbin. Drop your bobbin in the machine, pull your threads through the slot, and let your Altair do the rest.

DESIGN DATABASE TRANSFER
Managing your embroidery designs has never been easier! Download Design Database Transfer, a completely FREE embroidery design management tool, to easily view all of your embroidery designs and transfer the designs wirelessly to your Baby Lock Altair.

Easily transfer embroidery designs via USB or Wi-fi to the Altair. Transfer formats include .pes, .phc, .phx, and .dst. Organize your embroidery design library by creating new folders, moving and copying files to different folders, changing file names, or deleting files. Quickly search for an embroidery design by name, format, stitch count, size, etc. Review embroidery design info such as size, estimated sewing time, and number of colors.

771 STITCHES
No matter if you are sewing or quilting, you have plenty of stitch options. Choose from 771 possible stitch patterns or combine them for endless stitch combinations to save for later.

Exlusive to Babylock’s best embroidery machines, the Altair allows you to sew within the embroidery field if needed. This means you can sew even when your hoop is attached!

494 EMBROIDERY PATTERNS
With 494 embroidery patterns built-in the machine, you will always have something to embroider. Almost half (200) of the designs included are exclusive Baby Lock designs that you won’t find anywhere else. To make choosing the right design more manageable, the library features large thumbnails.

OPTIONAL PALETTE SOFTWARE
With Baby Lock’s new Palette 11 Embroidery Software, you’ll be able to create and edit embroidery designs easier than ever before. This advanced software takes your machine embroidery capabilities to the next level. You’ll enjoy premium auto-digitizing, easy design editing, new patterns, and more. The Palette 11 offers improved functionality that makes every step of digitizing easier, and the new interface makes it easier than ever to use.

EMBROIDERY EDITING FUNCTIONS
The Altair is packed with advanced editing features for your embroidery designs. You can resize designs up 20% or down 10%, change character spacing, mirror imaging, design duplication, pattern rotation, and more. With all these editing functions, you can customize your design as much as you wish. Altair also has auto stipple, color visualizer, color sorting, design grouping, and multi-selection functions.

NEEDLE BEAM
Remove the guesswork about where the needle will drop with the needle beam on the included embroidery foot. The bright LED pointer allows you to know the exact location of where your needle will land.
