Baby Lock Zeal Sewing Machine from the Genuine Collection

Simple Sewing for Everyday Projects

The Baby Lock Zeal is built for crafters, DIY sewers, and anyone who needs a reliable machine for mending and basic projects. Part of the Genuine Collection, it offers 25 stitches with adjustable length and width, a built-in needle threader, and a one-step buttonhole. The dial controls keep operation simple while the free arm handles sleeves and hems.

25 Built-In Stitches

The stitch selection covers utility stitches for construction and decorative options for embellishment. Dial in your stitch and start sewing without navigating menus or screens.

Variable Stitch Length and Width

Adjust stitch dimensions with dial controls. Longer stitches work well for basting and gathering, while width adjustments let you customize decorative stitches and zigzag settings.

Quick-Set Drop-In Bobbin

Drop the bobbin into place and pull the thread through the guide slot. The machine positions the thread automatically so you can start sewing without fishing for the bobbin thread.

Free-Arm Sewing

Remove the flatbed extension to access the free arm. This narrow sewing surface makes it easier to hem pants, sew sleeve cuffs, and work on other cylindrical or enclosed areas.

One-Step Buttonhole

The buttonhole foot measures your button and creates a perfectly sized buttonhole in one pass. Place the button in the foot, position your fabric, and the machine does the rest.

Built-In Needle Threader

Thread the needle in a few motions without straining to see the eye. Guide the thread into position, engage the threader, and the hook pulls thread through automatically.
