Needle
Your Baby Lock serger is set up with a size 14 industrial sewing machine needle (Organ DC-1F) which is suitable for all light and medium and heavy weight fabrics.
For very lightweight fabric you will want to change to a size 11 needle.
The semi – ballpoint design of the industrial needle allows you to use the same needle for knits as well wovens.
It’s quality and strength are specifically designed for high-speed sewing.
An Industrial needle will give you perfect stitch formation through many hours of sewing.
Threading method 1 – 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 it’s 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 directly in front of the eye of the needle. It is not advisable to attempt to pull the not through the eye.
4. This may bend or break the needle. (Figure 8)
5. Separate the thread chain, discarding needle thread tail and gently pull the looper threads – individually – until each knot passes completely through the machine.
6. Pull the needle threads through in the same manner, and use the tweezers to re-thread the needles.
Hint: As you pull each thread with your left hand, use your right hand to pull the tension disk rings forward slightly, making it easier for the not to pass through.
7. Place all threads under and to the left of the presser foot: lower presser foot and sew a few stitches to start the chain.
