3 Several solutions for minor problems are described below. If the problem persists, contact your nearest authorized
Baby Lock retailer.
■ The thread was accidentally cut
automatically and the bobbin thread
is caught inside the machine
a
Remove the embroidery frame.
b
Cut the thread near the fabric above the
needle plate, and then remove the fabric.
c
Remove the bobbin, and then hold it out
toward the left side of the machine.
d
Lower the embroidery foot.
e
Apply slight tension on bobbin thread by
holding thread out to the left side of
embroidery foot. Press the “Thread Cutter”
button again.
■ Correcting bobbin work tension
* If the top thread shows on the bobbin side of the
fabric, increase the upper tension (Refer to
“ADJUSTING THE THREAD TENSION” on
page E-96).
* If the top thread still shows on the bobbin side of the
fabric, reduce the tension of the bobbin thread or
bypass the bobbin tension. (Refer to “ADJUSTING
THE THREAD TENSION” on page E-96.)
* Some bobbin threads are too coarse to pass through
to wrong side of fabric. In this case, be sure to color
match top thread with bobbin threads.
Example: Embroidery patterns for bobbin work
a Correct tension
b The upper thread tension is too loose, or the
bobbin thread tension is too tight.
■ The bobbin thread catches on the
tension spring of the bobbin case
Embroider with no tension applied to the bobbin
thread. (Refer to “When tension is not applied to the
bobbin thread” on page E-91.)
