About this machine
The Baby Lock Altair (BLTA) is a sewing and embroidery machine with a 9.5 x 14 inch maximum embroidery field, 771 built-in stitches and 494 built-in embroidery designs. Baby Lock lists it as a previous model and documents IQ Intuition Positioning and IQ Designer.
The BLTA suffix is useful, not decorative
Baby Lock identifies the original Altair as BLTA. The later Altair 2 is BLTA2, so preserving the model code prevents manuals, updates and accessory records for two generations from being merged.
A larger field than Aerial
The Altair's documented 9.5 x 14 inch field is larger than the Aerial's 8 x 12 inch field. This is exactly the sort of family-level similarity that can cause an incorrect hoop assumption if the exact model is not checked.
