Upper and Lower Looper Thread Fine-Tuning Knob
No adjustments are needed when sewing with most fabrics and
threads on your Baby Lock Ovation, but certain threads or
fabrics may require minor fine-tuning of the looper delivery
system to perfect your stitches. Increase or decrease the
delivery of the looper threads with the upper and lower looper
thread fine-tuning knob. With your finger tips, turn the fine-
tuning knob counterclockwise to tighten the looper threads
equally. Turn the knob clockwise to loosen the looper threads
equally.
