Baby Lock Regalia ST Long Arm Quilt- with Lift Table

Check the table footprint and space for supporting the quilt before choosing a permanent station. The Regalia ST’s stitch regulation controls stitch length while you guide the fabric; leave time to practice turns and curves.12

Why this one

  • Start with the Baby Lock Regalia ST package with Lift Table if you switch between seated and standing free-motion quilting. Its 20-inch throat gives you room to gather the quilt, and built-in stitch regulation helps keep stitch length even as your hand speed changes.12

For king-size quilts and heavy batting

Choose the Regalia ST with Lift Table for extra room around a bulky quilt: it has 20 inches to the right of the needle and 10 inches of vertical space. You still move and support the quilt yourself, so plan where the fabric will rest around the table.12

For quilting seated or standing

Choose this Regalia ST package for its included Lift Table when you want to change working height for seated or standing sessions. Allow space for the 38-by-38-inch table and keep this 88 lb machine in a dedicated station.12
