Thread Delivery System

The Baby Lock Imagine Wave revolutionizes the way a serger works with its Thread Delivery System. You
no longer have to manually adjust the tension settings for the type of stitch you are serging. Select the type
of stitch you wish to serge, the Imagine Wave will automatically feed the correct amount of thread through
the loopers and thread guides to form a perfect stitch every time.

Stitch Selector

The stitch selector controls the thread delivery system and is located on
the right front side of the machine. To select a stitch setting, move the
stitch selector lever to A, B, C, or D.
A - For Wide Overlock Stitches.
B - For Right Needle Wave Stitch, and right needle overlock stitches.
C - For narrow stitches, and Rolled Wave Stitch using right needle.
D - For 3-Thread Rolled Hem stitch.
See chart on last page for stitch selection settings.

Wave Selector

The Wave Selector dial shows "O" and "W". Select "O" for overlock
stitching. Select "W" for wave stitching.
Re-threading Loopers
If a thread breaks, raise the presser foot and pull the broken thread out from under the foot. Open the front
cover, depress the machine lock button and set the looper threader selector to U or L for the looper being
threaded. Re-thread the machine above the threading port, leaving an 18inch (40cm) thread tail. Thread
the looper as usual and move lock button release lever to the right. Close the front cover and sew a test
sample. Refer to page 13 for further information.
Note: When re-threading your Baby Lock Imagine Wave using the "Jet-Air Threading" feature, make sure
that the previous thread that was in the looper (tube) is completely removed. This will eliminate any chance
of the previous thread obstructing the flow of the air when re-threading the machine.
Re-threading Needles
If a needle thread breaks, raise the presser foot, remove the broken thread and rethread the needle thread
guides. Open the front cover, depress the machine lock button. Select the "R" or "L" for the needle being
rethreaded. Use the needle threader for exact and easier threading. Refer to pages 13 for further
information.
