Needles
Thread
All types of thread may be used on your Baby Lock, but 100% long­staple polyester thread, cross­
wound on a cone, consistently provides the best stitch performance. Because the threads must pass
through several thread guides at high speeds, they must be of uniform thickness and high strength
with a minimum amount of linting.
Good­quality cotton or cotton­covered polyester threads sew well, though they produce more lint, cre­
ating the need to clean the machine more frequently. Poor grades of thread can result in frequent
fraying, breaking and unbalanced stitches.
Threads of other fiber contents and weights may be used, depending on their strength and thickness.
Testing will help you determine how easily they can pass through the thread guides, thread slots, nee­
dles and loopers.
Important Note: For maximum performance of the Baby Lock, it is recommended to use "100% poly­
ester­long fiber thread". Recommended brands are Maxi­Lock and Metrosene. This thread also per­
forms best when used with many decorative threads for sewing specialty decorative techniques.
