Endless Creativity
190 Built-in Sewing Stitches
Amongst the 190 built-in stitches are 71 utility stitches, 10 one-step buttonhole options, 41 decorative stitches, 11 cross stitches, 17 satin stitches, 10 decorative satin stitches, 40 combinable utility stitches, and 5 uppercase alphabet fonts. With this library of stitches, the creative possibilities are endless.
Effortless Setup
Quick-Set, Drop-in Bobbin
No more struggling to feed the bobbin thread up through the needle plate! With a quick-set drop-in bobbin, all you have to do is place the wound bobbin into the case and run the thread through the designated groove; the BL220B will do the rest when you begin sewing.
Hands-Free Sewing
Auto Pilot Sewing
This Brilliant Computerized Sewing Machine can sew all by itself. By unplugging the foot control (foot pedal), you can use the start/stop button, conveniently located just over the needle area. Press this button when you are ready to start sewing and again when you are ready to stop. Use the speed control slider to adjust the speed from low to medium to high. The BL220B can sew up to 850 stitches in just 60 seconds.
Built-In Organization
Free Arm & Storage
The free arm is a must-have for hemming sleeves and pant legs. Remove the auxiliary bed to access the machine's free arm. Located inside the removable auxiliary bed are two convenient storage compartments! Store presser feet, seam rippers, and tools and carry them with you to sewing classes and group crafting sessions.
Hands Stay on Fabric
Knee Lifter
The knee lifter is easy to install and use. This lever allows you to raise the presser foot with your knee so you can keep your hands on the fabric and make directional adjustments. Use the knee lifter when free motion quilting.
Make It Your Own
Decorative Stitch Editing Features
Combine decorative stitches to create your own unique stitch patterns! Combine letters with your decorative stitches and save them to the machine's memory. Other editing functions include repeat, mirror, and pattern elongator.
Everything Within Reach
Push Button Features
The Babylock Brilliant comes loaded with seven one-touch buttons. Start and stop sewing, position the needle up or down, cut your thread, reverse sew, lift your presser foot, cut your thread, and control your speed, all with just the push of a button. All these features allow you to easily and quickly navigate your machine.
Free-Motion Freedom
Drop Feed
The feed dogs are the small sets of teeth that come up through the needle plate and pull your fabric through the sewing machine. For free motion sewing, you can lower the feed dogs; this gives you the freedom to move your fabric in any direction you choose. Drop the feed dogs to free motion quilt, freehand embroidery, and sew on buttons.
Fast & Hassle-Free
Bobbin Winding
Features an independent auto-stop bobbin winding system that makes winding bobbins fast, easy, and hassle-free.
Smooth Over Any Seam
Leveling Button
The presser foot leveling button keeps the presser foot level when sewing over thick seams or transitioning across varying fabric layers.
Ease of Use
Needle Threader
The advanced built-in needle threader guides thread through the eye of the needle with a simple push of a lever, eliminating eye strain and setup frustration.
