Optional Accessory: Ruler Base - Baby Lock Coronet BLCT16A Instruction And Reference Manual

Optional Accessory: Ruler Base

If you plan to use rulers and templates with the Baby Lock Coronet, you need to purchase the ruler base to
give you a large, stable surface on which to rest the ruler or template. The ruler base, rulers, and templates
are optional accessories. Please see your authorized Baby Lock retailer.
To install the optional ruler base
1. Starting with the left side, place the ruler base at an angle
so that the left holes on the base fit onto the notches on
the machine.
2. Lightly flex the right side of the ruler base so that it falls
into place.
To remove the ruler base
• Start by lightly lifting the right side of the ruler base off of
the notches on the machine; then remove the left side.
To use rulers and templates with your quilting machine
U CAUTION: Use only one-quarter inch thick rulers and templates with your machine. Do not use
rotary-cutting rulers as they are too thin and can easily slip under the hopping foot. Always use a
ruler base or extended table to stabilize the ruler.
Keep the ruler flat and quilt only where you are securely holding the ruler. Avoid losing control by walking
your hand along the ruler or stopping and repositioning your hand and the ruler.
• Apply gentle three-point pressure to the ruler, as follows.
1. Press the ruler against any side of the hopping foot.
2. Press machine against ruler.
3. Press ruler against ruler base with only as much pressure as is necessary to keep the ruler from
slipping. Too much pressure will keep the machine from moving.
The machine's hopping foot stitches a quilting line that is a quarter inch away from the ruler edge. The
markings on all Baby Lock rulers take this into consideration.
 NOTE: Set the machine to stop in the needle-down position to keep the machine from moving while
making adjustments with the ruler.
