Baby Lock Presto II Computerized Quilting and Sewing Machine (BLMPR2)
The Baby Lock Presto II is a computerized sewing and quilting machine designed for makers who want speed, clarity, and
less busywork between stitches. It combines a practical stitch library, simple on-screen selection, and productivity features
like push-button controls and automatic thread cutting, so you spend more time sewing and less time setting up.
Highlights that matter while you are actually sewing
- 100 built-in stitches (utility and decorative) to cover everyday construction plus finishing details.
- 7 one-step buttonholes for consistent, repeatable results on garments and home projects.
- Fast sewing speed up to 850 stitches per minute for quicker piecing and longer seams.

Stitches, lettering, and editing
Presto II gives you a stitch library that is broad enough for quilting, garments, decor, and craft work, without feeling
like a bloated menu you never use. You also get built-in alphabets for labeling, personalization, and simple monograms.
- Total stitches: 100 (69 utility, 31 decorative)
- Built-in alphabets: 4 (with numbers and symbols)
- Max stitch width: 7 mm

you want, and hit Thread Cutter when you are ready to move to the next step.
