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" on page 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 machine-embroidery thread, lingerie thread, can easily be
threaded 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 "jet-air" 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
attention in the chain looper. Directions for bypassing the threading port on page 32 may need to
be used for heavy weight thread.
Please follow the Specialty Thread Guide Chart on page 35 for special instructions concerning the
use of these threads.
