About this machine
The Baby Lock Altair 2, model BLTA2, is a sewing and embroidery combination machine with a 9.5 x 14 inch maximum embroidery area, 10.1 inch LCD, 11.25 inch workspace, IQ Intuition Positioning and IQ Designer.
Baby Lock's own Altair 2 page contains two count conflicts
The headline feature list says 771 built-in stitches and 494 built-in embroidery designs. Lower on the same page, the stitch feature says 774 built-in stitches and the specification table says 534 built-in designs. These exact-model manufacturer figures remain in conflict.
The embroidery field is not the same as every compatible hoop
Baby Lock gives the BLTA2 a 9.5 x 14 inch maximum embroidery area. SewFitGuide also has exact compatibility for the EF74 4 x 4 hoop. One is the machine's maximum field, the other is a specific compatible frame. Keeping those claims separate prevents a common hoop-size mistake.
BLTA2 is the safest identifier
The model code BLTA2 appears on Baby Lock's product and support material. It is a more reliable identifier than treating Altair, Altair 2 and later Altair-family names as interchangeable.
What this machine is used for
- general sewing
