2 – 4 Threading Method I – Tying on
The fastest and easiest way to thread your Baby Lock is to cut off the unwanted thread and tie its end to
the beginning of the new thread, as follows:
1. Clip the existing thread just above its
cone/ spool.
2. Change threads and make a square
knot to tie each old thread to its
corresponding new thread (Figure 7).
3. Clip the needle threads directly in front of the eye of the
needle. (It is not advisable to attempt to pull the knot through
the eye. This may bend or break the needle). Figure 8
4. Separate the thread chain, (discarding needle thread tail)
and gently pull the looper threads – individually – until each
knot passes completely through the machine. Hint: As you
pull the tension disc rings forward slightly, making it easier
for the knot to pass through.
5. Pull the needle threads through in the same manner, and use the needle threader (see page 10) to
rethread the needles.
6. Place all threads under and to the left of the
presser foot: lower presser foot and sew a
few stitches to start the chain.
