Machine Needle
Use only the recommended needle system for your Regalia ST quilting machine. The
machine was timed to use this specific type of needle (System 134) and it is designed
to work with the high quilting speeds and multi-directional stitching the Regalia offers.
The Regalia ST uses the 134 needle system. This needle
type has a round shank rather than a shank with a flat
side like home sewing machines use.
Using the recommended needle type, you will
experience
• Fewer skipped stitches
• Less needle breakage
• Less thread breakage, especially at high speeds
• Less thread splicing or shredding
• Optimum fabric protection
Â
IMPORTANT
: Change the needle regularly. Baby Lock recommends using a new
needle for each new quilt and any time the needle becomes bent, dull, or burred.
U
CAUTION
: A damaged needle may result in poor stitching quality and/or may
even damage the machine or your quilt.
To change the needle
1. Move the needle bar to the up position by pressing the needle up/down control
on the touchscreen.
2. Turn off all power to the machine.
3. Loosen the needle bar clamp
screw with the 2.5mm hex
wrench.
