  • Page 34: Stitching Modes

    Stitching Modes The Regalia ST enables you to choose between two stitch regulation modes (Cruise or Precision), manual stitching mode, and a Basting Stitch Mode. Manual Stitching Mode When using the manual stitching mode, the stitch length is determined by how quickly or slowly the fabric is moved and the number of stitches-per-minute (up to 2,500) that is selected.
  • Page 35 To configure the manual stitching mode preset speeds The manual stitching mode preset speeds are three different stitches-per-minute speeds, that are saved for quick access from the Main screen. After the speed is set, select one of the presets when in Manual stitching mode. This setting becomes the current speed.
  • Page 36 (stitches-per-minute) until you press the Stop button on the touchscreen. The minimum speed of the needle is dependent upon the stitches-per-minute setting you choose. Baby Lock recommends beginning with a setting of 200. Begin moving the machine immediately after pressing the Start/Stop button to avoid stitching in place for too long.
  • Page 37 After pressing the Start/Stop button on the touchscreen, the fabric must be moved for the machine to begin quilting according to the stitches-per-inch setting. The Start button in the upper-left corner of the screen turns gold but the needle doesn’t automatically begin moving up and down.
  • Page 38 Basting Mode The Regalia ST includes five basting stitch options for basting a quilt. The basting stitch options are only available in stitch regulation mode. The stitches-per-inch setting ranges between 24 stitches per inch and 5 stitches per inch. If you continue to press the minus (–) button on the screen, after 5 you will see B1/4", B1/2", B1", B2", and B4".

  • Page 56: Machine Maintenance

    Machine Maintenance Clean and Oil Your Regalia The bobbin hook assembly on the Regalia ST should be oiled on a regular basis. Failure to keep the hook assembly lubricated can cause damage to the machine. We recommend oiling the hook assembly with each bobbin change and before use if the machine hasn't been used for a few days.

  • Page 57: Maintenance Schedule

    In addition to the ongoing cleaning and oiling maintenance, your machine should be serviced by an authorized Baby Lock Retailer every 24 months or 10 million stitches, whichever occurs first. They will take care of oiling and greasing internal parts and ensure the machine is in proper working order.

  • Page 58: Troubleshooting

    Troubleshooting You can correct many problems on your own. If you need additional help, contact your local, authorized Baby Lock Retailer or contact the Baby Lock Product Support Team at 1-800-313-4110. First check the following: 1. The AC power cord is properly connected and both power switches are turned 2.
  • Page 59 Incorrect needle size • Use the proper size needle for the work and thread being used. Some battings and fabrics used in quilting may constrict or impede the thread passing through the front groove of the needle. This diminishes the loop required for stitch formation.
  • Page 60 The Needle Breaks Corrective Measure(s) The needle is bent or not • Replace the needle. Make sure that the needle is installed properly pushed into the needle bar clamp until it can go no further. Visually check that it is up to the top of the sight hole above the needle bar clamp screw.
  • Page 61 Tension Is Poor Corrective Measure(s) Lint caught under the • If using short staple threads, inexpensive, or industrial tension spring in the threads, or coated threads, lint and other material will bobbin build up under the tension spring and begin to lift the spring, reducing the spring’s ability to compress against the thread.
  • Page 62 Thread Backlash Corrective Measure(s) Bobbin thread tangles • Make sure the bobbin is in the bobbin case correctly within the bobbin case, and the thread is coming out from under the tension tangles and winds onto the hook spindle, or spring.
  • Page 63 Improper needle/hook • Machine timing needs to be checked. Consult an relationship authorized Baby Lock technician. Damage or burr at needle • If thread is shredding at the throat plate, check for hole of throat plate or burrs or jagged edges.
  • Page 64 Wrong type of needle • Use only the needles recommended by Baby Lock (134, sizes 12 through 21). Other possible problems • Needle too close to hook, causing friction and possible collision of hook point and needle (causing broken thread).
