Your Baby Lock Celebrate is equipped with an exclusive "Instant Jet-Air Threading System" for
fast, easy threading of the upper and lower loopers. One push of the "Jet-Air" threading lever will
automatically thread the loopers. It is no longer necessary to use tweezers for threading the
thread guides.
If a thread breaks or runs out, just re-thread it. There is no need to follow any threading sequence.
1. With the presser foot up and machine lock button in the locked position (fig. B), set the
looper threader selector lever to "L" for lower looper threading. (fig. B)
2. Place the thread cone or spool on the far right front spool pin on the thread stand (fig.C page
16). Slip the thread into the telescopic antenna thread guide "1" directly above the spool, snap
into the thread guide "2" at the top of the machine, then through the slot on the front of the
machine. (fig. C page 16)
3. Pull 18 inches (45cm) of thread through guide "3". Insert the end of the thread into the
threading port "L" about 1 inch (2,5cm). Use tweezers if necessary, to insert the thread end
more easily.
4. Depress the looper threading lever. (fig. D page 16) If the thread does not go through the
lower looper eye with one push, depress the threading lever again until it does. *(see page 16)
5. Clip the thread 4 inches (10cm) from the lower looper eye and leave it hanging loose.
6. Move the lock button release lever to the right.
1. Open the front cover.
2. Raise the presser foot to release all threads.
3. Depress the machine lock button firmly. (fig. A)
4. Rotate the machine handwheel slowly toward you until the looper tubes move to their
connecting position. (fig. B)
Note: The Celebrate must be in the locked position when threading the loopers unless otherwise
indicated.
