Baby Lock Enlighten (BLE3ATW-2) Instruction and Reference Guide - Manual (Page 27)

Left or right needle positions can be used for 2-thread
serging.
See machine threading illustrations on (page 26/27.)
1. Open the front cover and blade cover. Cut the upper
looper thread just above the threading port (fig.A).
2. Raise the presser foot and remove the upper looper
thread and needle thread from the machine.
3. Rotate the handwheel forward to bring the upper looper
into position to attach the subsidiary looper. Rotate the
subsidiary looper up and to the left (fig.B) then slip the
end into the upper looper eye. (fig.C)
4. Place the left needle thread on the far left spool pin (or
right needle thread on second from left spool pin) and
bring the thread through the telescopic thread guide
directly above the spool pin of thread. Bring the thread
through the top thread guide that is normally used for the
upper looper (3
rd from left), and down the front. Then take
the thread to the left and thread the machine as you
would for the needles in their normal position. (illustration
on page 26/ 27 for correct threading.)
5. Using the needle threader, thread the eye of left or right
needle. (page 13 for threading of needles.)
6. Place the needle thread and looper thread under the
presser foot and to the back.
7. Close the cutting blade cover and front cover.
8. The needle and lower looper threads should overcast evenly on the cut edge of the fabric.
Note: The blade cover has been removed in illustrations B and C for a clear view.

2-Thread Overlock
Converting from 3-Thread Overlock
to 2-Thread Overlock
A
B
C
The 2-thread function provides an economical and less bulky means of overedging all fabrics. The standard
2-thread overlock is the same as a 2-thread flatlock stitch.
When sewn with specialty threads, 2-thread sewing makes decorative seams and edges for activewear,
children's clothing , ruffles, and hemlines.
