Stitching with specialty threads can form beautiful stitches. These heavy or shiny threads can be used
to enhance the appearance of a stitch and create special effects.
Some specialty threads work well through the needle and chain looper, while others are too heavy to
be threaded through the needle and are for chain looper use only.
Use the "Specialty Thread Guide Chart" (pg. 35) as a guide for the specialty threads. Keep in mind
that the quality of the thread may vary and tension setting will vary from thread to thread. Make a test
sample before starting on the project.
Using Specialty Threads
Lightweight Threads
Medium weight Threads
Heavy weight Threads
Lightweight threads
such as rayon machineembroidery thread, lingerie thread, can easily be thread
ed on the Baby Lock. Very fine monofilament threads may need threading assistance of a "Threading
Cradle" (pg. 34) or "Looper Threading Tool" (pg 33)
Medium weight threads
, such as topstitching thread, Décor rayon, stretch nylon thread are too bulky
to easily "jetair" through the threading port and looper. By using a "Threading Cradle" (pg.34) or
"Looper Threading Tool" (pg.33), the heavier threads can be threaded easily in the Baby Lock.
Heavy weight threads
such as Pearl Crown Rayon, Décor 6, and Candlelight will need extra atten
tion in the chain looper. Directions for bypassing the threading port (pg. 32) may need to be used for
heavy weight thread.
Please follow the Specialty Thread Guide Chart (pg. 35) for special instructions concerning the use of
these threads.
