Threading Preparation
When using overlock threads (cones) place the cone securely over
the spool holder on your machine. The spool holders prevent the
cone from spinning, enabling the thread to feed evenly. (fig. A)
When using standard sewing thread spools, use the sponge disks
(sponge side up) and spool caps (on top of spool) to prevent the
thread from tangling. (fig. B)
Thread nets can be placed over threads that tend to slip off the
spool during sewing. For example: rayon, silk, nylon, invisible,
and decorative threads. Place the thread net over the spool of
thread and fold net back, (fig. C) Pull thread from the top of spool
to enable the thread to feed evenly. (fig. D)

Threading Your Baby Lock
Your Baby Lock is equipped with an exclusive "Instant Jet-Air Threading System" for fast, easy
threading of the chain looper.
One push of the "Jet-Air" threading lever will automatically thread the chain looper. It is no
longer necessary to use tweezers for threading the thread guides. If a looper thread breaks or
runs out, just re-thread it. There is no need to follow threading sequence.
Locked Position for Threading
A
1. Open the front cover.
2. Raise the presser foot to release all threads.
3. Depress the machine lock button firmly.
Rotate the machine handwheel slowly toward
you until the button "snaps" into the locked
position and the lock button release lever
moves to the far left (fig.A).
Note:
The Baby Lock must be in the locked
position when threading the looper unless oth-
erwise indicated.
