The Baby Lock Accolade is both a serger and a coverstitch machine in one. Not only can you combine fabrics with the serger, you can hem them with the coverstitch. The Baby Lock Accolade can combine chain and overlock stitches to form stitches with up to eight threads. ExtraordinAir® threading takes your thread through all three loopers at once, instantly, with a gust of air. Plus, Accolade’s presser foot features a 6mm height that makes serging on thicker fabrics a breeze.

We are Florida's most trusted sewing machine experts, with stores located in Naples, Sarasota, and now Jupiter. Our experts at Flash Sew and Quilt are happy to walk you through the specifics of any of our products.
