About this machine
The Baby Lock Ballad (BLBA) is a quilting and sewing machine with 11.25 inches of throat space, 771 built-in stitches, a Compact Digital Dual-Feed System and a maximum sewing speed of 1,050 stitches per minute. It uses a Class 15 Quick-Set top-loading bobbin and includes a multi-function foot control.
Workspace and layer feeding
Ballad combines an 11.25 inch needle-to-right workspace with the Compact Digital Dual-Feed System. The space accommodates larger work, while the feed system addresses moving layers together during quilting and bulky sewing.
Similar specifications to Chorus
Ballad and Chorus both have 771 stitches, an 11.25 inch workspace and the Compact Digital Dual-Feed System. Those shared features do not establish compatibility with an unlisted electronic control or accessory. Check for Ballad in the exact-model listing.
Using the BLBA model code
BLBA identifies Ballad in Baby Lock documentation. Use it alongside the product name when matching manuals and accessories, since support pages may use either identifier.
