Baby Lock Victory Serger

The Baby Lock Victory is a 4/3/2-thread serger for sewists who want to skip both looper threading and tension adjustments. Jet-Air Threading sends thread through the loopers with a push of a lever, and Automatic Thread Delivery feeds the right amount of thread for the stitch you choose, so most fabric changes need no tension changes.

Why buy from Imagine Sewing & Vacuum

• Authorized Baby Lock dealer. Only authorized retailers can issue Baby Lock warranties, so your Victory is covered by Baby Lock's 25-year limited warranty.
• Sewing specialists since 1922. We've helped sewists and garment makers choose the right machine for more than a century.
• Factory-trained technicians. The people who service Baby Lock machines can help with Jet-Air Threading, stitch selection and differential feed questions, before and after you buy.
• Free shipping on orders over $299. This machine qualifies.

Serging without the tension guesswork

• No tension dials to balance. Automatic Thread Delivery feeds thread to match the setting on the stitch selector: A for wide overlock with the left needle, B for balanced overlock with the right needle, C for narrow, short stitches and D for the 3-thread rolled hem.
• Loopers thread with a lever. Jet-Air Threading uses air to send thread through the tubular loopers. If a thread breaks, you rethread just that one, with no threading order to follow.
• Needles thread with a lever too. Set the built-in needle threader for the left or right needle, press the lever, and the hook pulls the thread through the eye.
• Fine-tuning when you want it. Most fabrics and threads need no adjustment. For specialty threads, one fine-tuning screw tightens or loosens both looper threads together.
• Room for thick fabric. The presser foot lifts up to 6 mm, and Baby Lock's Advanced Knife Driving and One-Way Clutch System gives the knife a larger cutting bite for thicker fabric.
• Smooth feeding on knits and wovens. Single-unit differential feed gathers up to 2.0 or stretches down to 0.6, so knits stay flat and lightweight fabric doesn't pucker.
• A full set of overlock stitches. Sew 4-thread overlock, 3-thread wide and narrow overlock, flatlock and rolled edge, plus 2-thread flatlock, blanket and ladder stitches with the built-in 2-thread subsidiary looper.
• A clear view of your work. Two LED lights brighten the needle area, and the snap-on presser foot has a slot for sewing in tape or ribbon.

Is the Victory right for you?

It's the best fit if you want a serger you can thread quickly and use without learning tension, for garments, knits and home décor.

Good to know before you buy: Jet-Air Threading covers the loopers only. You run the needle threads through their guides and use the lever needle threader. The Victory doesn't sew cover stitch or chain stitch, and you control speed with the foot control.

• Comfortable adjusting tension and want to spend less? The Baby Lock Celebrate has the same Jet-Air Threading with manual tension dials and one LED light.
• Want the needles threaded by air and more room? The Baby Lock Acclaim uses RevolutionAir Threading for the loopers and needles, adds the Wave Stitch and three LED lights, and gives you 2 inches to the right of the needle.
• Want serging and cover stitch in one machine? The Baby Lock Splendor is an 8/7/6-thread serger with cover and chain stitches, ExtraordinAir looper threading and Automatic Thread Delivery.
• Want cover-stitched hems on knits too? The Baby Lock Euphoria is a dedicated cover stitch machine that works alongside the Victory.

Expert tip

"When a Victory stitch doesn't look right, check that the stitch selector letter matches the stitch you threaded for before you change anything else. Set correctly, the Victory handles most fabrics and threads with no adjustment. Save the looper fine-tuning screw for heavy decorative threads, and turn it in small steps."

Frequently asked questions

What does Automatic Thread Delivery do?

Instead of tension dials, the Victory controls how much thread feeds through the loopers and thread guides, based on the stitch you select. Baby Lock's manual says most fabrics and threads need no adjustment.

What's the difference between the Victory and the Celebrate?

Both have Jet-Air Threading, a lever needle threader, 4/3/2-thread serging, 1,500 stitches per minute and a 6 mm presser foot height. The Victory adds Automatic Thread Delivery and a second LED light. The Celebrate uses manual tension dials.

What's the difference between the Victory and the Acclaim?

Both have Automatic Thread Delivery. The Acclaim threads its needles as well as its loopers with RevolutionAir Threading, adds the Wave Stitch, and has three LED lights and 2 inches to the right of the needle.

Can the Victory sew a cover stitch?

No. For cover-stitched hems, choose a cover stitch machine such as the Baby Lock Euphoria, or a combination machine such as the Splendor or Triumph.

Which needles does the Victory use?

Organ or Schmetz HAx1SP needles. It comes set up with size 75/11 for light and medium fabrics, and Baby Lock suggests size 90/14 for heavyweight fabrics.
