Push-Button Features of the Baby Lock Aerial
The Baby Lock Aerial gives you eight convenient operational controls right at your fingertips, so you can stay focused on your project.

Enhanced Stadium Lighting

Please note that certain needle types may not be compatible with this function.
Automatic Fabric Sensor System
The Baby Lock Aerial’s fabric sensor system automatically detects fabric thickness and adjusts the presser foot pressure in real time. This ensures smooth fabric feeding, even over thick seams, giving you consistent, high-quality stitching without any extra effort.
Baby Lock Aerial's Knee Lifter
