The Baby Lock EF-205

Koichi Sakuma pioneered the world's first home lockstitch sewing machine in 1956, aiming to simplify fabric edge sewing. Despite challenges, he developed a prototype by 1963, leading to the debut of the “baby lock EF-205” and the renowned "baby lock" brand in 1968. Sakuma's innovation, including features like the "Automatic Threading Delivery System" and “Looper Air Threading”, continues to drive Baby Lock's commitment to craftsmanship and innovation today.

    I Totally Agree With Susie's Review

    I've had my serger since it first came out. I love everything about it EXCEPT the awful needle threader. Who designed this thing? It simply does not work. I've spent so much time trying to get it to just thread a needle. I have 3 other Baby Lock machines, and they are all wonderful and easy to thread. Please don't ever put this type of needle threader on any more of your machines!

    Love the machine except for one thing

    The babylock 55th edition is a Great serger. I love everything about it except for the subpar needle threader. I don’t understand why they put this needle threader on a beautiful machine. It’s shreds, frays the thread. However you want to describe it. I received it a week ago and have tried and tried retreading the needles. Every time the thread just barely makes it through the eye of needle frayed so I have to take a pair of tweezers to grab the tiny loop and gently pull the thread through so it doesn’t break till I can get to a good piece of thread. I contacted the retailer they basically said that is just the way needle threaders are. I have never had a problem with the needle threader on my sewing machine or my daughter’s machine (not baby locks). So why does babylock put such a crappy needle threader on their excellent machines? Was it just this particular style machine? I would have gave it five stars but the needle threader really erks me.
