Baby Lock Jubilant Sewing Machine Review 

So glad you like it! I am a longtime Baby Lock fan, too!

Glad you found it helpful!

The Jubilant is definitely a great travel machine. Since you already have a Crescendo, you'll be familiar with many of the included Baby Lock features.

I have to say that I agree with your logic. The Joy is much less expensive but if you can afford it, I think the Jubilant will give you more room to grow. The Joy is also mechanical while the Jubilant has the display. I find that very helpful because (for example) it let's you know which presser foot to use with different stitches, if something goes wrong there is an error code you can look up in the product manual, etc. I know a lot of people believe that beginners should just get the least expensive mechanical machine, but my view point is that beginners may prefer a machine that has more built in supports as long as it is in their price range. If you do plan to make garments, I agree that a simpler button hole process will save you time.

I have both machines now and love each of them. If I only had one, and I had the space for it, I would probably keep the Brilliant. But if I was pressed for space or on the move a lot, as I was when I first got the Jubilant, I'd stick with that. I do love the automatic thread cutting on the Brilliant, the bigger creative area, and the stitch memory. But, it depends on what you use regularly. What is your "must have" or essential feature?

Thanks for writing. The Baby Lock Jubilant comes with the following feet: "J" ZigZag foot (on machine), "N" Monogramming foot, "G" Overcasting foot, "R" Blind Stitch foot, "M" Button Fitting foot, and "A" Buttonhole foot. A list of compatible accessories is available here: babylock.com/machines/sewing/jubilant/accessories

Thanks for your feedback! I did actually sew on the machine in the video so you can hear how it sounds when operating. I have numerous tutorials on this machine on my website that share different projects that were made with it here: undergroundcrafter.com/tag/baby-lock-jubilant/

It's 17 (hand-look quilting stitch). It uses J foot and on page 34 in the Jubilant manual, there are tips about the thread and needle size to use.

I'm not very familiar with the Symphony, but I would recommend that you connect with your local Baby Lock independent retailer: babylock.com/independent-retailers
