Baby Lock Evolve (Previous Model) (BLE8W) Instruction and Reference Guide - Manual (Page 79)

Heavy-weight threads can be used through your regular looper thread
paths. Specific techniques may require that the thread bypass the
thread port for the thread pull to be loosened. Start with the machine
threaded with regular serger thread.
1. Open front cover and raise the presser foot.
2. Just above the threading port, clip the looper thread to be replaced.
Pull the thread out of the upper guides and remove the cone.
3. Place the specialty thread on the spool pin. Thread it into the upper
guides and clip it a couple of inches beyond the base plate (fig. A).
4. With machine lock button released, use the tweezers to pull the exist-
ing looper thread out of tube extending from the threading mecha-
nism (fig. B). Leave the thread in the looper arm.
5. Tie the specialty thread onto the regular thread with an overhand knot
(fig. C). Pull on the regular thread from the looper eye until the spe-
cialty thread comes through the looper eye.
6. Place upper looper thread under the foot and to the left: clip lower
looper thread at the base plate.
If the thread is heavy and the overhand knot (step #5) is too large for the
looper tube, follow directions #1 thru #6 on page 79 to make a thread
cradle. Then:
1. Release machine lock button.
2. While holding the loose ends of the thread cradle with one hand, use
the tweezers to pull the cradle loop out of the tube extending from the
threading mechanism with the other hand.
3. Insert 2 inch(5cm) of your decorative thread into the cradle loop. Pull
on the loose ends of the thread cradle from the looper eye until the
specialty thread comes through the looper eye.
