There are marks on the bed of the Baby Lock that can be used as a guide while sewing.
It will depend on what cover or chain stitch needle position you will be using as to what the width
will be.
How To Use The Needle Threader
A
B
1. Hold the needle threader with the arrow
mark on top. Place the thread in the
groove of the needle threader. (fig.A)
2. Push the needle threader against needle
and slide down the groove of the needle to
the eye. Push the thread into the eye of
the needle.
3. With a point of the needle threader or the
tweezers pull the loop of thread from the
back of the needle, under the foot and to
the back left.
Front Cover Seam Guide
For example, the first mark on the left closest
to the needle plate, C-1 needle is 1 inch
(2.5cm), C-2 needle is 7/8 inch (2.25cm), and
C-3 needle is 3/4 inch (2cm).
This guide is great for hemming garments with
cover stitch.
1. Turn under hem and press.
2. Align the raw edge of the hem with the nee-
dles
3. Align the folded edge of hem with the correct
guide mark.
Re-threading Looper
If a thread breaks, raise the presser foot and pull the broken thread from under the foot. Open the
front table, depress the machine lock button.. Re-thread the machine above the threading port,
leaving an 18inch (40cm) thread tail. Thread the looper as usual and move lock button release
lever to the right. Close the front cover and sew a test sample.
Note:
When re-threading your Baby Lock using the "Jet-Air Threading" feature, make sure that
the previous thread that was in the looper (tube) is completely removed.
This will eliminate any
chance of the previous thread obstructing the flow of the air when re-threading the machine.
