Baby Lock Flare Embroidery Machine
The Baby Lock Flare Embroidery Machine (BLMFL) is a powerful, user-friendly single-needle embroidery machine designed for home embroiderers, custom apparel businesses, and creators who want professional embroidery capabilities in a compact and affordable machine.
With a generous 6-1/4" x 10-1/4" embroidery field, 293 built-in embroidery designs, 14 built-in embroidery fonts, Wi-Fi connectivity, on-screen editing, and embroidery speeds up to 850 stitches per minute, the Baby Lock Flare gives you the tools to create personalized apparel, monograms, gifts, patches, bags, and more.
Large 6-1/4" x 10-1/4" Embroidery Field
The Baby Lock Flare provides a 6-1/4" x 10-1/4" maximum embroidery field, giving you plenty of space for larger designs while helping reduce the need for multiple hoopings.
The Flare includes two embroidery hoops:
- 6-1/4" x 10-1/4"
- 5" x 7"
Additional optional hoops are available for projects of different sizes, including 4" x 4", 6" x 6", 4" x 7" continuous border, and smaller 1" x 2-1/2" embroidery applications.
This flexibility makes the Flare ideal for everything from small monograms and names to larger shirt, jacket, bag, and apparel designs.
293 Built-In Embroidery Designs
Start creating right out of the box with 293 built-in embroidery designs. The Flare gives you a wide variety of designs to choose from without requiring additional embroidery software for every project.
The machine also includes 140 built-in frame pattern combinations, giving you additional options for borders, decorative designs, and personalized projects.
14 Built-In Embroidery Fonts
Personalize your projects with 14 built-in embroidery fonts. Letters can be edited individually, allowing you to create names, monograms, labels, children's clothing, personalized gifts, and business apparel.
The fonts can be customized directly on the machine just like other embroidery designs.
Wi-Fi Enabled Embroidery
The Baby Lock Flare features built-in Wi-Fi connectivity, allowing you to transfer embroidery designs wirelessly from your computer using Design Database Transfer.
Wireless connectivity also allows the machine to receive notifications when new machine updates are available, making it easier to keep your Flare up to date.
For embroidery businesses and frequent users, wireless design transfer can save time by reducing the need to move designs using a USB drive.
On-Screen Embroidery Editing
The Flare gives you the ability to edit embroidery designs directly on the machine.
Use the touchscreen to:
- Combine designs
- Rotate designs
- Resize designs
- Edit lettering
- Change colors
- Create customized layouts
- Work with frame patterns
- Preview designs before stitching
This gives you greater control over your finished embroidery without having to return to your computer for every adjustment.
Automatic Thread Tension Control
The Automatic Thread Tension Control system helps maintain consistent stitch quality by automatically adjusting thread tension as you embroider.
This is especially helpful when working with different designs, fabrics, and thread colors.
Advanced Needle Threader
Threading your needle is quick and easy with the Flare's Advanced Needle Threader. Baby Lock designed the system so the needle can be threaded with just a few simple motions and one hand.
Embroidery Speeds Up to 850 Stitches Per Minute
The Baby Lock Flare can embroider at speeds of up to 850 stitches per minute (SPM), giving you the speed needed to efficiently complete personal projects as well as customer orders.
The combination of a large embroidery field, fast stitching speed, and single-needle operation makes the Flare a versatile option for home embroidery and growing custom embroidery businesses.
Compact and Easy to Manage
The Flare weighs approximately 20 pounds as the machine alone and 27 pounds with the embroidery unit, making it considerably easier to move and store than many larger embroidery machines.
Its compact size makes it a great option for embroidery enthusiasts who want a dedicated embroidery machine without taking up the space required by a larger commercial system.
