Baby Lock Zeal Sewing Machine - From the Genuine Collection

You sent an e-mail requesting that I check the box if I received the sewing machine. There is no way to say NO! You don't answer the phone and your phone doesn't take messages. I get no response to my emails.

Perfect Second Machine

Thank you. Your delivery was fast and perfect. The Babylock Zeal will be perfect for the summer months spent in Wisconsin.

Nice machine

I haven't used it much but it sews smoothly and is easy to get the right tension when I follow the manual.

Love It!!

I bought the Baby Loc Zeal as an early Xmas gift for my 20-year old granddaughter. I tried it out before I gave it to her and it runs beautifully. The instruction book is especially helpful as it has diagrams for each step. She loves it and is excited to get started on a project.

Great machine at a great price

After much research I purchased this baby lock to replace an older pfaff that sadly could not be repaired. This machine came with great reviews . I didnt want a machine with alot of fancy stitches that will never be used. It sees beautifully so I'm looking forward to years of use

Baby Lock Zeal is wonderful!

Love the Baby Lock Zeal! It replaced a student Singer I bought in 1993 right after graduating. I like the non-digital machines because most of my sewing is simple without a ton of crazy decorative stitches (I sew clothes and quilt tops). Nice bright LED light. The storage box is on the bottom instead of the back, so you can access it while a project is on the machine. The machine… read more is so quiet while running (my Singer sounded like a jet on a tarmac); my daughter even noticed that she could still hear the TV while I was sewing in the other room. The button hole system is so awesome! I haven't figured out how to use the needle threader yet, but I'll figure it out eventually.

Nice and easy to use

Good Sewing machine- easy to use

Baby lock

I really love this machine so far :)

Wothwhile purchase

Have had it four a few weeks now. I love the decorative stiches and all the functions. Love that it's mechanical. Very easy to use and to learn how to use.

Great deal- fast delivery!

I love it! I had been waiting over three months to get this from a local shop. I got it from you in a week, and for a better price. I couldn’t be happier with my purchase!

Happy With Purchase

Arrived promptly and in excellent condition. Price was great!

Good machine, good price, good dealer experience

A "returning" sewer, I wanted a dependable and capable machine. I reviewed many, over several weeks. I decided against a machine with a motherboard, due to my experience with short-lived computers. It's sad that I didn't feel safe to go to stores and test-drive in these pandemic times.

I chose a mechanical machine that can be serviced locally -- so I had researched local… read more service providers as well. I did not want an extremely expensive machine. This Zeal is a good compromise. Many people love their Baby Locks and it's a first for me, but familiar to a Singer or Kenmore user.

I love the way it "feels" when it sews, and the stitches are beautiful. So far, using it is straightforward and pleasant, with a few newer features that I will enjoy.

Time is the real test. Ask me again in a year!

Great starter machine

Very easy to use. Great for my simple handmade projects.

Great Gift!

Bought it for my sister and it was a great buy.

Happy

I like the sturdy feel of this machine. Looking forward to exploring its many capabilities.

Great value!

Machine shipped immediately, was received in perfect condition. Great machine at a great price with great service. I did a lot of research before buying, and this was a good choice for a higher end mechanical machine at a great price. Very happy with my choice.

Very nice product.

This was a birthday gift for my wife. She's quite happy with it.

Perfect for me!

This machine is easy to use, uncomplicated. Perfect for my level of sewing.

Big thumbs up

I bought for my wife and she absolutely loves it!!

Baby Lock machines are the absolute best !!!!

I love this machine. I searched for exactly what I wanted and found Zeal! I have my Baby Lock Valiant that I also love so I was searching for another BabyLock. I’ve put it to work and it’s a breeze and joy to use. You can never go wrong with a Baby Lock!

I love my Babylock

I love this machine. Delivery was very quick. The only thing I would like to see is an up/down needle position and a speed control for slow sewing on something where precision is needed. I use it more than my fancy Singer as it is lighter and more compact. Also, I would like a button foot like the Singer has. Also, if it had three needle positions. It sews beautifully and I am… read more very happy I made this purchase.

Good starting sewing machine

This is my first sewing machine and I got a say it has work really good I can’t complain

Happy now!

Finally, a machine that does what I want it to do!

Love My Zeal!

Love my new Baby Lock Zeal! It was a great buy for me and performs fantastic. Easy to use too. Shipping was fast. Great customer service!

I do not have internet on my phone

It is easy to thread and to use. However it does not come with a carrying case of any kind. Nor does it have any kind of a cover.

Currently evacuated due to wildfires. Will write a review in the future.

Baby Lock Zeal was not a good fit for us.

I thought I was getting a heavier machine and I expected more from the price point it was sold at. My wife has been a seamstress for many years. When she needed a new sewing machine we bought the Zeal. After using it for a day she knew it was not for her. It didn't have the fit and feel she was looking for. SewingMachinesPlus.com exchanged the machine and we purchased a more… read more expensive one. She is loving the replacement and we appreciate the understanding and service of this company.

Do NOT like this machine

Took back 3 times. I thread it just like they show me and stitches are terrible

Problematic machine

This machine wouldn’t stay threaded no matter what. I wanted a Baby Lock machine, but I exchanged the Zeal for a Juki computerized machine for the same price which was $299 & I would recommend the Juki HZL LB 5020 for its computerization which allows much more flexibility in what you’re able to sew. It has other nice options that many of the very expensive computerized machines… read more have.
If you’re looking for a manual machine specifically I don’t recommend this particular one. There are other brands that offer good first machines better than the Zeal. I’m glad I returned the Zeal, you can’t sew on a machine that won’t stay threaded.
