Baby Lock Imagine Wave (Previous Model) (BLE3ATW) Instruction and Reference Guide User Manual
Page 12
Your Baby Lock Imagine Wave 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 looper thread breaks or runs out, just re-thread it. There
is no need to follow threading sequence.
1. Open the front cover.
2. Raise the presser foot to release all threads.
3. Depress the machine lock button firmly. Rotate the machine handwheel slowly toward you until the
button "snaps" into the locked position and the lock button release lever moves to the far left (fig.A).
Note: The Imagine Wave must be in the locked position when threading the loopers unless otherwise
indicated. The machine in Locked Position also sets the needle position for using the Needle threader.
This is also a safety feature when threading as the machine cannot sew while in locked position.
1. With the presser foot up and machine lock button in the locked position (fig. A) . Set the threading port
selector lever to "L" for lower looper threading (fig. B).
2. Place the thread cone or spool on the Lower Looper spool pin on the thread stand. 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, through the slot on the front cover. (See fig. C page 11)
3. Pull 18 inches (40cm) 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 11) . If the thread does not go through the lower looper
eye with one push, depress the threading lever again until it does.
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.
