If a needle thread breaks, raise the presser foot, remove the broken thread and rethread the needle thread
guides. Open the front cover, depress the machine lock button. Select the "R" or "L" for the needle being
threaded. Use the needle threader for exact and easier threading. Refer to pages 12 or 13 for further
information.
If a thread breaks, raise the presser foot and pull the broken thread out from under the foot. Open the front
cover and engage the threading lever (page 10). Re-thread the machine above the threading port, leaving
an 18-inch (45cm) thread tail. Thread the looper as usual then engage the threading lever to the serging
position (page 10/11). Close the front cover and sew a test sample.
Note: When re-threading your Baby Lock Enlighten using the "Extraordin Air Threading" feature, make
sure that the previous thread that was in the looper (tube) is completely removed. This will eliminate any
chance of the previous thread obstructing the flow of the air when re-threading the machine.
The Wave Selector lever shows "OVERLOCK" and "WAVE". Select
"OVERLOCK" for overlock stitching. Select "WAVE" for wave stitching.
The stitch selector controls the thread delivery system and is located on
the right front side of the machine. To select a stitch setting, move the
stitch selector lever to A, B, C, or D.
A - For Wide overlock stitches using the left (L) needle.
B - For balanced overlock stitches using the right (R) needle and 3-
thread Wave stitch.
C - For narrow stitches with a short length and Rolled Wave Stitch.
D - For 3-Thread rolled hem stitch.
For best results, use setting B or C for WAVE stitching. See chart on last
page for stitch selection settings.
The Baby Lock Enlighten revolutionizes the way a serger works with its Thread Delivery System. You no
longer have to manually adjust the tension settings for the type of stitch you are serging. Select the type
of stitch you wish to serge, the Enlighten will automatically feed the correct amount of thread through the
loopers and thread guides to form a perfect stitch every time.
