BABY LOCK BLES8 Ovation
Recommended accessories for this machine
The multi-purpose Baby Lock Ovation BLES8 overlocker can sew with up to eight threads at once. It is suitable for overcasting edges, knitwear seams, cover stitches and decorative seams.
The machine incorporates 14 patents registered worldwide. The most important are air threading of the loopers and an automatic thread tension system that feeds the thread evenly whatever fabric you are sewing.
The Ovation has a large work platform, LED lighting in six places, an additional speed control slider and a knee lifter for the presser foot. Made in Japan.
A waste collection tray is available as an optional extra.

Features
ExtraordinAirThreading System™ air threading
The loopers are threaded by a stream of compressed air. No tweezers, complicated diagrams or set threading order – you press a button and the thread threads itself.
Hollow loopers
The loopers are made of strong hollow steel tubing through which the thread is blown by air. So the threads do not have to be threaded in a set order – you can rethread any thread whenever you need to.
Automatic Thread Delivery System™
There is no need to turn thread tension dials. You choose the sewing operation with a dial and the machine adjusts itself to the fabric thickness, whether you are sewing one layer or several.
Thick or thin fabric, knitwear, silk, chiffon or denim, one layer or even six – the thread tension is set without your help.
Convenient presser foot lever
The presser foot lever is right at hand, so you do not have to look for it. Push it up and the foot rises.
Knee lifter
The presser foot can also be raised by pushing the lever sideways with your knee. This leaves both hands free to hold the fabric.
Additional speed control slider
The slider sets the sewing speed to suit how demanding the fabric is. You can even sew one stitch at a time, which makes precise seams easier.
Vertical needle system
The patented vertical needle system ensures stable penetration of the fabric and stops the needles from bending. A bent needle can strike the looper, bend, break or even damage the looper.
The work area platform is large, so knitwear seams are comfortable to sew too.
Wave Stitch
A decorative wave stitch created by Baby Lock. It can be used to decorate garment edges.
Sews a variety of fabrics
The machine adjusts itself to the fabric – from silk and chiffon to knitwear and denim.
LED lighting in six places
Bright LED lights placed at six points around the work area light the whole work area well, so your eyes tire less. The lighting uses only 3 W.
Overcast density and stitch width set by dials
One turn of a dial sets the overcast density or the narrow Baby Lock cord-type seam.
The stitch width is adjusted precisely with a separate dial – no need to open the side cover or move a lever.
Synchronised knife system
A patented system: trimming the fabric edge, feeding the fabric and needle action are performed in sync. The knives are made of hardened steel and coated with a special ebonite layer.
Sewing with eight threads
The Ovation can sew with eight threads at once. You can sew waistbands or insert elastic without the special waistband machines used in industrial workshops.
