The Baby Lock Applaud is built for makers who want their finishing work to look intentional, polished, and seriously elevated.
It combines classic cover and chain stitch functionality with Baby Lock’s Creative Top Cover Stitch, letting you produce durable hems,
strong seams, and standout decorative stitching that looks like it came from a boutique studio.

What makes Applaud different

• Creative Top Cover Stitch: Add bold, high-impact stitching on the top of the fabric for sporty, decorative, or fashion-forward finishes.
• Dual wiper system: Creates the top cover effect by delivering thread across the fabric surface for unique stitch looks.
• ExtraordinAir threading: Air-threading for the loopers helps cut down setup time and frustration.
• ATD automatic thread delivery: Produces balanced stitches without constant tension tweaking across many fabric types.
• Needle up/down plus speed control: More precision at corners, curves, and transitions, especially when top-stitching for appearance.

Why it belongs in a serious garment setup

If you sew knits, activewear, stretch denim, or want clean-looking hems on tees and cuffs, Applaud is the machine that makes the “last step”
feel like the best step. It is also a powerful creative tool for surface design: the top cover capability lets you treat stitching like a design element,
not just a utility.

Great for: knit hems, athleticwear finishes, decorative top-stitching, strong seams with a professional look, and high-quality garment detailing.
