Threading The Needle - Baby Lock Capella Instruction And Reference Manual

Threading the needle

Use the automatic needle-threading mechanism to thread the
needle.
IMPORTANT
• When using 65/9 needles or thinner, manually
thread the needle. If the automatic needle-
threading mechanism is used, its hook may be
damaged.
• If the needle is not fully inserted, the hook of
the automatic needle-threading mechanism
will not pass through the eye of the needle
during automatic needle threading, and the
hook may bend or the needle cannot be
threaded.
• If the hook of the automatic needle-threading
mechanism is damaged, you cannot thread the
machine. In this case, replace the hook by
yourself. (page 99)
• While the hook of the automatic needle-
threading mechanism is passed through the
eye of the needle, do not rotate the
handwheel. The automatic needle-threading
mechanism may be damaged. If you turn the
handwheel, the automatic needle-threading
mechanism will return to its initial position to
avoid damage.
a Press the automatic needle-threading button.
 The hook of the automatic needle-threading
mechanism passes through the eye of the needle.
b Pull out about 15 cm (approx. 6 inches) of thread.
Then, as shown in the illustration, pass the thread
under the fork of the automatic needle-threading
mechanism from the right, and then catch the thread
with the hook that passes through the eye of the
needle.
Note
• When catching the thread with the hook, be careful
that the thread does not become loose.

Pass the thread under the guide on the presser foot.
• Make sure that the thread securely passes through the
notch in the guide on the presser foot.
Securely pass the thread through the groove in the
thread cutter, and then lightly pull the thread to cut it.
Note
• If the thread is not correctly passed through the
groove in the thread cutter, the message [Wiper
error] appears and the needle cannot be threaded.
Be sure to securely pass the thread through the
groove.
• Pull out enough thread. If enough thread is not
pulled out, the thread cannot be pulled through the
thread cutter.
Memo
• The Wiper is the mechanism for pulling the thread
to back when the needle threader is used and
when the thread is trimmed during embroidery.
Press the automatic needle-threading button.
