Regalia Stationary User Manual | 63
The machine head has
been threaded incorrectly
or thread spools are not
positioned correctly
• Check that the machine is threaded correctly.
• Inspect for accidental double wrapping of thread on
thread guides.
• Inspect the thread mast, making sure the eyelets of
the mast are directly over the spools.
• Inspect the vertical positioning of the thread cones.
Tipped cones can dramatically affect thread tension
and can cause breakage.
Debris in tension discs
• Inspect for particles and remove any fuzz or debris.
Bobbin rotation is not
smooth
• Change the bobbin. The slightest hesitation of the
bobbin rotation can be the cause of dramatic tension
change and thread breakage.
Needle is burred, bent or
dull, or installed incorrectly
• Change the needle at least once per quilt. Make sure
the needle is installed to the top of the stop hole in
the needle bar.
Needle not suitable for
thread
• Replace the needle to one better suited for the thread.
Use the proper size needle. Refer to onscreen chart.
Hesitating too long at one
point in quilting motif
• Move more quickly so stitches don’t overlap or build
up. When starting the machine, begin moving the
fabric immediately. Sewing in one place too long will
cause the thread to break or build-up.
Improper needle/hook
relationship
• Machine timing needs to be checked. Consult an
authorized Baby Lock technician.
Damage or burr at needle
hole of throat plate or
other thread handling part
• If thread is shredding at the throat plate, check for
burrs or jagged edges. Gently rub with emery cloth to
remove any sharp edges. Consult an authorized Baby
Lock retailer to polish any hard-to-reach or delicate
areas, or if the burr is inside the throat.
