Review: Baby Lock Tempo Model BLTP

Actually, wait a second.

It's not completely a review yet (as of now).

I've unpacked it and set it up, but I have not as of yet actually started sewing.

I sewed a little with the machine at the place I bought this from, but that's not enough for a review obviously.

I'll have to actually sew more things and different fabrics until I can give a complete review.

For now until I update this, this will be just the unpacking of the machine, and my current thoughts!

With that, let's start!

Baby Lock Tempo Model BLTP

Some random picture I got off the internet... you can click on the picture for link since I'm too lazy XD

What it is: A sewing machine...

What Bunneh likes: Seems sturdy enough for a lot of my projects :D

Bunneh's rating: N/A yet, I'll add asap :)

Price: For me I bought it at $599, but prices aren't typically added online because of price wars

I swear it came with more stuff than this... but okay!

Here is the opening and setting up of the Baby Lock Tempo Model BLTP!

Well theres the box.....

Ew at the quality of the pick, it was so dim in my room for a while, so hot, yet the sky is dark... sucks.

When you first opened up the box, this is pretty much what you'll see right off the bat:

Theres the power cord and the manuals

Took this one out... it's the attachable stitch guide thingy :P

The case, nice place to put extra tools and materials in on the side

In my opinion, the case was kind of bulky, just a tad bit too bulky for me.

But hey, as long as it works, shouldn't be a big deal with?

I finally got the sewing machine out at this point!

I unwrapped the machine and got the blue tape off.

(By the way, the foam under the presser foot was a pain to take out... ugh.

Slide the foam towards you, don't try to break it or you'll get foam everywhere inside the machine..

I ended up cleaning the machine after I broke the foam instead of trying to slide it out..

Opened this (icky) plastic pouch of random tools

After running around my room with random parts, I finally turned on the machine!

(I must have looked crazy, I was so excited)

It's on!! :D

About to thread the machine... here are the threads I bought.

I only bought a few just because I wasn't sure how much the total of everything would be..

Gonna go back and buy more :)

pretty colors :D

After messing around with the bobbin and everything, I finally threaded the machine! ^-^...

I definitely had to go through the instructor manual to thread the machine.

Different from other machines that I've used.

Threaded, bobbin and all :D

Bunneh's Thoughts

Well I definitely have to say it already seems like it has potential.

I like how the machine has a start/stop button so you don't have to attach the pedal.

(Though of course, I prefer pedal but the button is amusing me a lot)

There's also a button to raise the needle up or down.

Even though you have the pedal, there's a slider that can help moderate your speed.

The stitch system is electronic and there's the stitch length and zig zag as usual.

Theres the typical reverse button and the whole shenanigan.

Also a double needle button o_o

The sewing machine has a detachable case that is used for free arm.

I personally have a hard time opening the case but when you do, it has all your feed and everything in it.

Sewing machine came with a button hole feet and it worked great in the store I was in.

When I was threading it, I actually had some trouble.

I noticed there were lots of little places to cut the thread which confused me...

But ah well!

The needle threader kind of scared me personally... but I guess it is a lot easier than just doing it by hand (and stabbing your finger in the meantime with it)

So far, the machine seems good.

Now, I just have to find things to sew and finish this review.
