Being a self-taught quilter, I need a machine that lets me hit the high notes with ease. The Baby Lock Soprano does exactly that. It’s easy to get started with the advanced needle threader and quick-set, top-loading bobbin. I’m all set to quilt in no time. The Advanced Pivoting Feature is another handy tool. It makes it easy to turn corners and curves that don't always follow "the rules" in my modern quilt patterns. I also love the Automatic Fabric Sensor System. It delivers the right amount of tension for my stitches no matter what type of fabric I'm using. And with 300-built in stitches and tons of accessory feet, I never miss a beat when I use the Soprano. --Amy Ellis, Author & Founder of Amy's Creative Side Features: -LCD Screen - Built-In Stitch Memory - Advanced Pivoting Features - Automatic Fabric Sensor System - Advanced Needle Threader - 300 Built-In Stitches - Quick-set, Top-Loading Bobbin - Quilting Extension Table - Built-In Accessory Storage - Push-Button Features
