Correction
• Use needles recommended by Baby Lock. Using the wrong
needle with a smaller shank diameter causes many problems.
For example, a system 1738 or 287WH needle with a shank
diameter of 1.64mm will fit loosely into the needle bar clamp.
This condition allows the needle to fit into the clamp at an angle
which may cause problems including skipped stitches and the
needle positioned too far from the hook point.
• Needle too close to hook, causing friction and possible collision
of hook point and needle (broken thread).
• Needle plate damage
• Hook damage
• Broken needles or damaged needle bar clamp
• Check the communication cable that connects the handlebar to
the casing of the machine and make sure that the connections
are secure.
