Clearing the Stitch Width Fingers

Re-threading Loopers

Re-threading Needles

As you sew, you will discover that maneuvering the fabric is 

different from conventional sewing because the threads form 

around the stitch fingers. (fig. A)

To clear the stitch fingers, simply raise the presser foot, which 

releases all threads.  Raise the needle(s).  Then pull the threads 

gently from behind the foot. (fig. B)   The stitches are now relea-

sed from the fingers. (fig. C)

If a thread breaks, raise the presser foot and pull the broken thread out from under the foot.  Open 

the front cover, depress the machine lock button, rotate the machine handwheel slowly toward you 

until the tubes move to their connecting position, and set the looper threader selector to U or L for 

the looper being threaded.  Re-thread the machine above the threading port, leaving an 18-inch 

(40cm) thread tail.  Thread the looper as usual and move the lock button release lever to the right.  

Close the front cover and sew a test sample.  Refer to page 15-16 for further information.

Note:

  When re-threading your Baby Lock Victory 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.

If a needle thread breaks, raise the presser foot, remove the broken thread and rethread the 

needle thread guides.  Turn the handwheel and line up the green marks on the handwheel and 

machine. Select the "R" or "L" for the needle being rethreaded.  Use the needle threader for exact 

and easier threading.  Refer to pages 17-18 for further information.
