Bypassing The Threading Port - Baby Lock Euphoria BLC4 Instruction And Reference Manual

Bypassing the Threading Port

Heavyweight threads can be used through the chain looper thread path. Specific techniques may
require that the thread bypass the thread port for the thread pull to be loosened. Start with the machine
threaded with regular chain looper thread.
1. Open front cover and front table then raise the presser foot.
2. Just above the threading port, clip the chain looper thread. Pull the thread out of the upper guides
and remove the thread cone.
3. Place the specialty thread on the spool pin. Thread it into the upper guides and tension disk. Bring
the thread end through the hole just left of the threading port. (This will allow the front cover to be
closed while sewing. Leave approximately 12 inches (30cm) of thread to be threaded through the
chain looper (fig. A).
4. With machine threading lever in serging position, use the tweezers to pull the existing looper thread
out of tube extending from the threading mechanism (fig. B). Leave the thread in the looper arm.
5. Tie the specialty thread onto the regular thread with an overhand knot (fig. C). Pull on the regular
thread from the looper eye until the specialty thread comes through the looper eye (fig. D).
6. Trim the specialty thread to 4 inches (10cm), place in chain looper tray and close the side cover.
If the thread is heavy and the overhand knot (step #5) is too large for the looper tube, follow directions
#1 thru #6 on page 35 to make a thread cradle. Then:
1. Engage the threading lever to the serging position.
2. While holding the loose ends of the thread cradle with one hand, use the tweezers to pull the cradle
loop out of the tube extending from the threading mechanism with the other hand.
3. Insert 2 inches (5cm) of the decorative thread into the cradle loop. Pull on the loose ends of the
thread cradle from the looper eye until the specialty thread comes through the chain looper eye.
4. Trim the specialty thread to 4 inches (10cm), place in chain looper tray and close the side cover.
