Thank you for the video on the Solaris 2 - I have a Solaris - been down to my dealer (San Jose, CA) and just talked about it but it was great to actually see the upgrade live rather than just talking about it. I believe after watching your video I will upgrade my machine. Can’t wait to see the hoop demo for the upgrade!
Yes Brad is wonderful. Thank you Brad! Also see Terry Maffitt who has extensive free RUclips videos on the Luminaire, the same machine as the Solaris. Just a few differences in the designs offered.
Brad , you have not never made a stroller seat. It needs all button holes in different sizes. The BabyLock does give you the option to make all sizes of button holes. I have made 2
Great info, Brad. Can;t wait to see the whole overview of the Solaris 2! Think I’ll have to finally cave and buy a new machine. My current one is an Ellissimo !
I just discovered you! I LOVE your videos. I will head over to your shop (virtually lol) soon as I am certain I will find a few things to purchase :) Right now, however, I do know this is an old video but if you happen to see this, do you remember the site you got the *I CHOOSE JOY* image from and the name of it? (Probably *(I choose joy* lol) Thank you for such amazing videos!
Hi Brad! Really enjoyed your video. Can you tell me what the comparison is between the Solaris and the Luminaire. I'm really having a hard time choosing. (and I don't care about the Disney designs!!)
The dealer you buy it from is the real difference. Machines are pretty much the same. Make sure your dealer offers classes, in house service with a competent tech, and a customer service oriented attitude. Baby Lock has a really good education program though, so often their dealers are better informed but not always.
@@EllicottCitySewVac Shoot! I was hoping that I could surprise you... LOL I was so excited about that once I realized it. The whole upgrade is very cool. Thank you for your videos! They are super helpful.
I don't have one in the shop yet, hoping to get one soon, I want to do the quilt border video with it. I don't really know much about it other than it's supposed to work easier than the DIME ones
Brad Martin I have Version 1.24 I was told I should download Version 3.0 before I up grade to Solaris 2. PS: I bought the Solaris because of your informative You Tube Videos
Brad, always look forward to your videos. You are so needed in informing us all about the sewing machines.
I am so happy to have found your videos. I have no dealer, no classes available. You are such a huge help for me to learn this machine!
Thanks for the detailed explanation of the features Brad. You are always able to give real-world examples of how the new feature can be used.

Thank you. Very informative. First video I’ve seen which shows how the upgrades work. 👍
Brad, would you be able to do a layered appliqué video? I’d like to iron down let’s say 5 pieces and then create an embroidery appliqué. Thank you
Thanks Brad! Glad I have my order in for the upgrade. Looking forward to your video on the borders.
Brad...I really appreciate your work, thank you.
Brad, Thanks for the Video. It was great info & you talked about the important features we all want to hear about. Great job, keep them coming.
Your videos are so helpful, thank you for making them!
Love your videos as they’re so informative! It’s the only training I’m able to get on this machine. Very appreciative of your work! Thank you!

cjsews Thank you. I did look but didn’t see anything new or anything regarding the Upgrade 2. Maybe later?
WOWSER....GREAT JOB....need that border function info!! Someone said there's also now an 'edge to edge' designs for use. True??

How many price of this machine
Brad loved your info. How do I reach you at the store?
Wow! Thanks! Can't wait to learn more. 👍
Is the Babylock Solaris the same as the Brother Stellaire in Europe?
Very helpful information. Thank you!
I love the upgrade! You didn't mention that the random shift now has 6 levels in each of the types rather than 3! I love that!
Yeah didn't realize till later

Good job Brad!
Very exciting, can't wait to get it.

Thank you for your time. Appreciate the information. Looking forward to future videos. What is your Facebook ?

On the end point stop, how do you keep the fabric straight?
Thanks for making this so simple.
Excellent class!
Love all the info
Do you have any information on the new hoop and is that an additional upgrade?
I don't have one in the shop yet, hoping to get one soon, I want to do the quilt border video with it. I don't really know much about it other than it's supposed to work easier than the DIME ones
Brad Martin Thank you, I’ll be looking for that video too! Can’t wait!
Thank you!
Very helpful.
I purchased my Solaris about two months ago, how do I know if the first upgrade is installed?
Page 7 on your setting page, look for kit 1 with a checkmark next to it, if it's upgraded it will be there, greyed out and checked off.
Brad Martin I have Version 1.24
I was told I should download Version 3.0 before I up grade to Solaris 2.
PS: I bought the Solaris because of your informative You Tube Videos
Great info. Thanks.
Thank you for the great info
Good video thanks
Does any of the two upgrades come with additional hoops?
The first upgrade comes with a 10 5/8 square hoop, the second doesn't include a hoop
