Babylock Sewing Machines?

[KayK]

Somebody has bound to have answered this question before:

Are Babylock sewing machines available in the UK, and if not, why?  I know they sell Overlockers, Coverstitchers and Embellishers -

Its only that I was watching a Bargello quilt tutorial on YouTube yesterday, and the demonstrator was using an enormous Babylock Jazz - 12" throat space and in the US costs around $700 - which was amazing!  I seem to think that I have heard an urban rumour that the machines are very similar/same as Brother?

I don’t think BL sewing machines are sold in the U.K... no idea why.

@KayK no idea about availability for you. But yes, same as Brother. I have a Brother SE-400, Babylock makes an equivalent model at a much higher price. User manuals were identical except for name and cover image. Inside there two or three pages with slightly different information.

Baby lock do not make the sewing machines but they sell brother machines under their name in USA they don’t do that in the UK
