Threading Your Ovation
Threading Position for Threading,
Thread Stand and Thread Port Reference Chart
Your Baby Lock Ovation is equipped with an exclusive "Electrionic Extraordin Air Threading System"
for fast, easy threading of the upper, lower, and chain loopers.
One touch of the "Push to Thread" button will automatically thread the loopers. It is no longer
necessary to use tweezers for threading the loopers. If a looper thread breaks or runs out, just
re-thread it. There is no need to follow a specific threading sequence.
1. Open the front cover.
2. Raise the presser foot to release all threads.
3. Set the threading lever from serging position to threading position. (fig.A)
4. Rotate the machine handwheel slowly toward you until the tubes move to the connecting
position. (fig. B)
Note: The Ovation must be in the locked threading position when threading the loopers unless
otherwise indicated.
