Baby Lock Altair 2 Sewing & Embroidery Machine
The Baby Lock Altair 2 Sewing Quilting and Embroidery Machine is a high-end combination sewing and embroidery machine designed for makers who want big creative power in one advanced workstation. With a generous 9.5″ x 14″ embroidery field, a spacious 11.25″ of room to the right of the needle, and smart IQ Technology®, the Altair 2 lets you tackle quilts, garments, home décor, and detailed embroidery with confidence and precision.
Wireless IQ Technology for Easy, Accurate Placement
Altair 2 uses Baby Lock’s IQ Technology® to connect your creativity to the machine. The IQ Intuition Positioning® App lets you photograph your hooped fabric and wirelessly send it to the machine, so your fabric appears in lifelike color on the screen. From there, you can position, rotate, and size your design right where it belongs, helping you nail perfect placement on quilts, garments, and tricky projects.
IQ Designer: Turn Artwork into Custom Embroidery
With IQ Designer, you can create original embroidery designs directly on the Altair 2. Sketch on the touchscreen, import artwork from a USB drive, or send designs wirelessly from your computer or tablet. The machine converts your artwork into embroidery that you can further edit, combine, and customize, giving you a built-in way to digitize without separate software.
Spacious 9.5″ x 14″ Embroidery Field and 11.25″ Workspace
A large 9.5″ x 14″ embroidery area means fewer re-hoops on big designs, borders, and quilt blocks. The 11.25″ of space to the right of the needle gives you room to maneuver quilts and bulky projects while still keeping a clear view of your stitching. Whether you’re quilting or embroidering large designs, the Baby Lock Altair 2 Sewing Quilting and Embroidery Machine is built for big projects.
Hundreds of Stitches, Designs, and Fonts Built In
Baby Lock Altair 2 Sewing Quilting and Embroidery Machine comes loaded with creative options: 774 built-in stitches for utility, quilting, heirloom, and decorative work; 534 built-in embroidery designs; and 30 built-in fonts for monogramming, labels, and personalization. You can combine and edit stitches, save custom combinations to memory, and mix embroidery designs with lettering to create polished, personalized projects.
10.1″ LCD Touchscreen and Precision Needle Beam
A bright 10.1″ LCD touchscreen puts editing tools, stitch settings, and design information at your fingertips. You can resize, rotate, mirror, combine, and preview designs right on the machine. The built-in Needle Beam projects a fine light onto your fabric to show exactly where the needle will land, making it easier to match points, line up designs, and stitch accurately.
Smooth, Fast Sewing Performance
Altair 2 is built for speed and control, sewing up to 1,050 stitches per minute while maintaining smooth, consistent stitch quality. A robust feeding system helps move layers evenly, while precision controls like needle up/down, adjustable stitch length and width, and programmable functions give you the control you need for piecing, quilting, construction, and decorative techniques.
Time-Saving Comfort and Convenience
Everyday features help streamline your sewing and embroidery workflow. Enjoy an advanced built-in needle threader, automatic thread cutter, start/stop button, speed control slider, locking stitch, and easy reverse at your fingertips. Multiple USB ports and design memory make it simple to save, import, and organize your projects, while on-screen editing means less time at the computer and more time stitching.
