Needles

Thread

All  types  of  thread  may  be  used  on  your  Baby  Lock,  but  100%  polyester  long  fiber  thread,

crosswound on a cone, consistently provides the best stitch performance.  Because the threads must

pass through several thread guides at high speeds, they must be of uniform thickness and high

strength while producing a minimum amount of lint.

Good quality cotton or cotton covered polyester threads sew well, though they produce more lint,

creating  the  need  to  clean  the  machine  more  frequently.    They  work  well  for  overedging  and

seaming, but they may be too weak or too fuzzy for the rolled edge.  Poor grades of thread can result

in frequent fraying, breaking and unbalanced stitches.

Threads of other fiber contents and weights may be used, depending on their strength and thickness.

Testing will help you determine the stitch quality and how easily the threads can pass through the

thread guides, thread slots, needles and loopers.

Important Note:

For maximum performance of the Baby Lock Triumph, it is recommended to use

"100% polyester long fiber thread".  This thread also performs best when used with many decorative

threads for sewing specialty decorative techniques.
