Upper and Lower Looper Thread Fine-Tuning Knob
No adjustments are needed when sewing with most fabrics and
threads on your Baby Lock Acclaim, but certain threads or fabrics may
require minor fine-tuning of the looper delivery system to perfect your
stitches. Increase or decrease the delivery of the looper threads with
the upper and lower looper thread fine-tuning knob. Turn the fine-
tuning knob counterclockwise to tighten the looper threads equally.
Turn the knob clockwise to loosen the looper threads equally.

The Baby Lock Acclaim revolutionizes the way a serger works with its Thread Delivery System.
You no longer have to manually adjust the tension settings for the type of stitch you are serging.
Select the type of stitch you wish to serge, the Acclaim will automatically feed the correct amount
of thread through the loopers and thread guides to form a perfect stitch every time.
