Needles
Thread
All types of thread may be used on your Baby Lock, but 100% long-staple polyester thread, crosswound 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.
Good-quality cotton or cotton-covered polyester threads sew well, though they produce more lint, creating the
need to clean the machine more frequently. They work well for overedging and seaming, but they may be too
weak or too fuzzy for the rolled edge. Poor grades of thread can result in frequent fraying, breaking and unbal-
anced 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, needles and loopers.
Important Note: For maximum performance of the Baby Lock evolve, it is recommended to use "100%
polyester-long fiber thread". Recommended brands are Maxi-Lock and Metrosene. This thread also performs
best when used with many decorative threads for sewing specialty decorative techniques.
