Re-threading Loopers
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. (see page 19) Re-thread the machine above the
threading port, leaving a 22 inch (56cm) thread tail. Thread the looper as usual then engage the
threading lever to the serging position. (see pages 20/21) Close the front cover and sew a test
sample.
Note: When re-threading your Baby Lock Ovation 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.
As you sew, you will discover that maneuvering the fabric is
different from conventional sewing because the threads form
around the stitch fingers. (fig. A)
To clear the stitch fingers, simply raise the presser foot, which
releases all threads. Raise the needle(s). Then pull the
threads gently from behind the foot. (fig. B) The stitches are
now released from the fingers. (fig. C)
