Two parallel rows of stitching on the front, a looped chain covering the raw edge on the back, and the whole thing stretches with the fabric instead of popping. That is a cover stitch, and a regular sewing machine cannot make one. Neither can a serger. The Applaud is the machine that does, and then it goes further: its dual wiper system lays thread across the top of the stitch as it forms, so the hem can be decorative as well as correct.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap; gap: 28px; align-items: center; margin: 26px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex: 0 1 260px; max-width: 260px;\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/5204\/6327\/files\/angelaloq23_5.jpg?v=1722088700\u0026amp;width=520\" alt=\"Angela Huffman sitting at the Tips Table on the set of Fons \u0026amp; Porter's Love of Quilting PBS show.\" width=\"520\" height=\"651\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%; height: auto; border-radius: 12px; display: block;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 10px 0 0; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.45; color: #5a5a5a;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eAngela Huffman, host of Fons \u0026amp; Porter's Love of Quilting PBS show and founder\/owner of Quilted Joy.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex: 1 1 320px; min-width: 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 16px;\"\u003eThe Applaud is a specialist, and it earns its place next to a serger rather than replacing one.

If you live outside of Louisville, any Baby Lock dealer in the country will service your machine under warranty. Every machine we sell also comes with owner classes, which matter more than usual on a cover stitch machine, because most of what makes a hem look professional is technique rather than settings.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Baby Lock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51098570752247,"sku":"BLP6","price":2999.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/5204\/6327\/files\/baby-lock-applaud.webp?v=1775054201","url":"https:\/\/quiltedjoy.com\/products\/baby-lock-applaud-deluxe-coverhem-floor-model-machine","provider":"Quilted Joy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
