Baby Lock Valiant 10 Needle Embroidery Machine (2023)

When I have an idea for a project and it calls for embroidery, the right tools make all the difference. The new Valiant is certainly the tool for the job with built-in features like a digital camera, NeedleCam, which give you a zoomed in view to aid in perfectly placing that design.

And, when I want to preview my design in different color ways, Color Visualizer shows me my options.

If you’re an embroidery enthusiast like myself or if you're looking to start a home business, the Valiant has it all.

Sewing is not only my passion, it's my business. With the Baby Lock Valiant I have the confidence that my embroidery designs on specialty textiles like vinyl, leather and silk are going to be 'dead-on' the mark. The Valiant's precision and 10-needle technology mean endless possibilities for my embroidery projects. It all comes with the incomparable service and support of Baby Lock.

10.1" TruView™ IPS TFT LCD Screen in HD

The Valiant’s high-definition, 10.1” TruView™ IPS (TFT) LED Screen brings embroidery designs to life with over 16 million vivid colors. Adjust thumbnails and magnify on-screen designs up to 200% to easily spot a design flaw before stitching. Personalize your screen saver, upload images and photos, plus use the Mpeg-4 movie/video function to spark more ideas.

NeedleCam Digital Camera

The NeedleCam™ Digital Camera lets you see from the needle’s point of view, so you know exactly where the needle will drop. Also, you can use the Perfect Positioning stickers included with your Valiant to place every design with extreme precision.

5 LED Lights

The 5 LED lights help illuminate your work area and also come with dimming settings to create your perfect workspace.

Edit Designs On Screen

With the Valiant’s editing features, you can combine, reposition, resize, rotate and mirror embroidery designs and watch as the changes instantly appear on the LCD screen. Alter design elements individually, or group them to easily move or edit them collectively.

LED Spool Stand Lights

The Valiant has many features built-in to help you concentrate on the art of embroidery instead of the mechanics. The 10 LED spool stand lights help keep your thread colors coordinated, and signal when a spool needs to be changed. Plus, the push-button needle threader makes thread changes effortless.
