Threading Your Victory; Threading Position For Threading Loopers; Lower Looper - Baby Lock Victory BLS3 Instruction And Reference Manual

Threading Your Victory

Your Baby Lock Victory is equipped with an exclusive "Instant Jet-Air Threading System" for fast,
easy threading of the upper and lower loopers.
One push of the "Jet-Air" threading lever will automatically thread the loopers. It is no longer
necessary to use tweezers for threading the thread guides.
If a thread breaks or runs out, just re-thread it. There is no need to follow any threading sequence.

Threading Position for Threading Loopers

1. Open the front cover.
2. Raise the presser foot to release all threads.
3. Depress the machine lock button firmly. (fig. A)
4. Rotate the machine handwheel slowly toward you until the looper tubes move to their
ting position. The machine lock button will snap into a locked position, and the lock release lever
will move to the far left.
Note: The Victory must be in the locked position when threading the loopers unless otherwise
indicated.

Lower Looper

1. With the presser foot up and machine lock button in the locked position (fig. B), set the looper
threader selector lever to "L" for lower looper threading. (fig. B)
2. Place the thread cone or spool on the far right front spool pin on the thread stand (fig.C page
16). Slip the thread into the telescopic antenna thread guide "1" directly above the spool, snap
into the thread guide "2" at the top of the machine, then through the slot on the front of the ma-
chine. (fig. C page 16)
3. Pull 18 inches (45cm) of thread through guide "3". Insert the end of the thread into the threading
port "L" about 1 inch (2.5cm). Use tweezers if necessary, to insert the thread end more easily.
4. Depress the looper threading lever. (fig. D page 16) If the thread does not go through the lower
looper eye with one push, depress the threading lever again until it does. *(see page 16)
5. Clip the thread 4 inches (10cm) from the lower looper eye and leave it hanging loose.
6. Move the lock button release lever to the right.
