I have had the Destiny for about 9 days now. The instruction book weighs about 6 lbs. I'm still learning how to use it and yes, it cost a arm and a leg. I also have my "Old" Illisimo and the Illisimo is a bit easier to use. I will share posts of any unusual things I find if you will too.
I just bought a Baby Lock Destiny. When I try to review the built in Videos, I don't get any sound. Does anyone know where to set the sound on the video. I have sound when the machine starts up and when I select buttons. Thanks
Pat Tadajewski and +Moko Kilker : Seriously, i follow the evolution of highend home sewing machines for quite some time now - but i'd really like to know what kind of women (or men) can afford buying such a machine above $ or € 5.000 ? Do you use them professionally or just for hobbies?
I wish the separate 1/4 inch foot I bought for my Destiny actually gave a 1/4-inch measurement; it doesn't. The stitch width turns out to be 3/8ths of an inch. The Baby Lock rep with whom I talked did not understand that when you measure stitch width, you cover the thread. When asked, I referred her to the video at The Featherweight Shop. Baby Lock doesn't help. I've spent a whole lot of time using the J foot and moving the needle. On page 116 of the manual, the width setting is either 5.5 or 6.5 mm; not clear which, from the diagram. Ugh! Please re-write the manual. Stitch width isn't even listed in the appendix.
Loved the 4 year old doing the threading. Thanks for letting us know your precious.
would love a detailed video on how to set up the destiny

i noticed when you clicked on watching videos, you clicked on the usb icon. where did you get the mp4 videos to load via the usb drive?
Wow. Great instructions! Wish I lived closer to you. Meanwhile I’m subbing. Thanks again.
I hopefully i have this one day...really want and need because i love it...
I have a Destiny One and it's always in the shop. Prefer the Elisimo Gold II Good machine and less problems.
In my experience both machines are equally reliable, when serviced by competent mechanics.
What am I doing wrong! I scan my picture and set it then it comes up “Data volume is too large for this pattern. How can I remedy this?
I can't wait to sell my PR 655 and get this machine!!
Please can I get to how much it cost to own this machine
can this be used on a long arm frame
where do you turn on and off cutter for jump stitches
does this one embroidery
Hi, I’m new in this, I’m looking for a sewing machine and embroidery combo but why is this brand so expensive?
every brands top of the line machines are expensive, Baby Lock just doesn't make the really low line stuff
15,000 is what this machine costs. It ain't for the faint of heart...
but it's one epic machine though...i needs to get one...
Bill Salvey Don't get me wrong, I would love one too, but really not in my budget.
your not the only one.. :(
Космос, нет предела совершенства . Это я машине.
How much is it pleas in $?
whats the ball park cost of the destiny? just curious i dont have a babylock seller close by
+Tyesha Gardner not allowed to talk price online, sorry!
Lol from the answer, if you have to ask you can't afford it. Haha
I just bought one check with dealer see if they have demo from an anitagoodesign party huge savings
Not being snarky, but that is the truth............

that's cause those videos have no audio.
Thanks, I entertained that thought, but for the money I paid, I thought they would.
I'm sure the MP4 that's available will have sound.

HQ stated that they are VIDEOS ...... to see only ..... not to listen to.
Brad, I am looking at a Destiny that has been upgraded to a 2. after the upgrade is there any difference between the two machines.
not according to Baby Lock, and I have not seen anything that makes me think otherwise.
+Brad Martin (Ellicott City Sew Vac) not even number of stitches? thank you for your time. ;)
how much do these cost?
Probably some crazy amount no one could ever afford without financing!
15K
Yikes! Thanks for responding.
this is not the one that cost 15k this one cost 8k but I got it for only 4k becuase it was a store demo.
+Brittany Adams, I say them on ebay used from $10,000. to $12,000.
