Thank you so much. I knew the problem involved the top threading but couldn’t figure it out. In 5 minutes your video was the answer, needle up and foot up did it.

Thank you for this helpful information! I was ready to take it to a shop to be repaired. No need now! You just saved me $80! Sew on!

I have always been told to never pull the top thread out backwards. Cut the thread at the spool and pull it out of the machine from the needle. Pulling the thread backwards can damage the threading path.

Thank you so much! Helped fix my problem without having to pay a ton of money and be without my machine while it gets serviced for a second time in 5 months!!

This solved my problem! I had put my bobbin case back incorrectly. Did as you showed and I'm back in business. Thank you!

Thank you!!!!! Thank you, thank you!!!! I was about to cry. I’ve had my machine for a year and made fleece hats for Christmas and didn’t realize it needed to be cleaned out. Once again thank you

Hi! You had me at “re-thread”. Found out the hook was missed, all good now - thanks!

Thank you! My needle was stuck and I took apart the whole bobbin apparatus. Then needed help putting it back together. Thank you!!

i am new to sewing and love my baby lock. You solved all my problems today with one video!!

Thanks so much for walking me through the reinstall for the bobbin threader. I’m a new sew-er and still just getting familiar with my Presto 2. Whew! Your video was a lifesaver. 👍🏼

Oh my gosh! You are a sewing Baby Lock savior! I had no idea the grey plate can come off with out unscrewing the silver plate 🤦‍♀️ i was getting thread nest under my fabric. Because i didn't but the bobbin thingy right with the dots connected. Yikes!!! I was in panic mode because i have a huge order to fulfill. After following your tips. My baby lock is back to normal. Gosh!!! You made a huuuuuge difference in my day! Thaaaaank you!!! Definitely gonna subscribe now!! Yaneri 🥰

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING THIS INFO!!! I just ran into some trouble with my Brilliant automatic threader not working and your tips literally did the trick! Now I don’t have to make a service trip to my local dealer and I’m back to sewing again!! You’re a life saver 💜

Thank you! Your instructions are so easy to follow and complete!!!!❤

I failed to thank you for the tips in the video! Your instructions were clear and concise! I will try cleaning underneath and give it a try again! Thank you so much for your instructions and I have subscribed to your channel and told a couple of my sewing-friends about you too!

Excellent explanation of how things work or why they don't.

This worked! I’m back to sewing instead of servicing my machine! Greatly appreciate 🎉

That was very helpful! I’m new to the Baby Lock family…thankful to see how to clean it!!

Very nicely explained. One thing the Babylock Customer Support told me once was the the thread spool must always be placed with the thread coming forward from BELOW the spool. Hope that helps someone. Thank you for your video.

Hi I've always been told not to pull the top thread back through the machine. We should cut thread at the spool and pull the thread through the needke end. This stops from pulling lint through the disks & machine Its something that is mentioned at every class I've taken. .

Thank you! I know it has been a few years since you posted this, but very appreciative. Have a happy holidays!

Just found your page and I am so happy! I am still getting to know my Baby Lock Ellure Plus and a bit frustrated!

Subscribed! So thankful for your video. I spent time, I thought, doing all these things, but I tell ya, i just followed your directions exactly, and this time it worked 🤷🏼‍♀️🧡. Maybe I was skipping some steps. Thank you!

Want to thank you because of this video you helped me solve the problem i was having with my machine for days😇🙏

Thank you so very much. I never knew to do this. I’d been sewing tshirt quilts and polar fleece so my lint bunnies were hiding.

My machine was a mess inside. Thank you so much for doing your video.

One million thousand likes.. thank you 😊

Thank you so much!! My threading path wasn't grabbing the thread and I made certain I first dusted my bobbin nest and then put my thread and presser foot in the upper position to upper thread and waalah!, I am back in business!! ( embroidering Harry Potter crests onto future little wizard robes for grand daughter's 8th birthday).

So glad I found you!

Thank you for sharing this video! It is so helpful!!

Thank you. My needle has been acting up, think it went thru the bobbin plastic. Hopefully I will figure it out with your help.

Thank you! This gave me so much info that I needed:) The tips are great and you are awesome!

Thank you! I follow the others to say they didn’t know the plates came off like that very good information!! Thank you again! About min 8, you talked about the needle threader. LOVE THAT FEATURE when it worked . I’m having issues with my threader. I don’t think I’ve had two smaller needle ( 14’s only), but it’s not threading m. I gave up and got my fat hand in to thread the needle.

Thank you! I learned new things today!!!

Thanks so much for this video! I’d already tried pretty much every step you listed to fix my machine and my thread was still getting caught on the lower bobbin arm catcher thing (the metal rod with the curved cutout where the upper bobbin thread catches the lower thread) but somehow while watching your video whatever had misaligned itself magically realigned itself and it was fixed just like that. Hahaha, somehow my machine responded to your magic touch vicariously and fixed itself in the process, no idea how or what exactly was off but thanks!

Hi my question is why wouldn’t my bottom bobbin thread come up when I’m trying to free motion quilt. I have checked and rechecked all the steps and the bottom bobbin thread will not come up. I have the blm melody baby lock. I would appreciate any feedback you might have. Thank you.

My bobbin stitches are really loose and uneven. Is there an adjustment for this? I only know about the top tension.

Thank you, I will try this

Just that little knick was kicking my bobbin out?! Thank you for your help 🙏

I have a Baby Lock Soprano and it is unthreading after each seam I sew. I am using Aurifil 50 wt Cotton Mako thread. I have tried putting the thread on a stand and not using the built in thread cutter so I have a longer tail. I saw a video on BL tips and she said to make sure the thread grabber is in the high position. Nothing has worked. My sister had a Soprano too and had the same problem so she got rid of it. I like this machine but it's annoying to be constantly be threading the machine. Have you heard of others with Sopranos having the same problem

I am having trouble with my bobbin casing. My thread is jamming up on the bottom. I’ve tried resetting tension. I’ve tried cleaning out the Bob and I don’t know if I put the bobbin back in wrong or if it’s I’m not quite sure how to put it back in since it does not show you this in the book. Maybe you can help me in this area I sure need it.

I have baby lock sofia To day bobin thread is not catching up And fabric get stuck Can I solve it? Just three months ago I get serviced. Thanks

I stumbled onto your video on home-maintenance for BabyLock sewing machine. The machine looked very much like my Flourish II. Just yesterday I had trouble which the following statement appeared in the window: "the safety device has been activated. Is the tread tangled? is the needle bent? Didn't break needle but replaced it. Thread is bunching up under the bobbin. Have turned off machine for 15 minutes. My project is: embroidery on a rope coaster using just a single initial; I've already done 10 seamlessly. Using a Jean needle. I have slowed the machine to 500 (just on the last attempt. Has been hard to find the screen on how to do that). How do I unlock the machine? I bought the machine just as Covid was shutting down companies. I got one lesson under the belt b4 they closed. I have just started regularly using the machine a couple of months ago and haven't had issues. I just heard I was supposed to take the machine in yearly for a check-up (is that right? or how many stitches you've done?). Dealer didn't tell me to do that so, I haven't done it. Please help me if you can. Sorry for the long text!

Hi, would you by chance now how to help with my babylock sofia 2, the sewing machine is sewing in reverse, I am wandering if my reverse button is stuck, do you have any ideans of what I can do

Thank you. Great job! Possible to do a very close up of bli!nd hem foot and loading the fabric with that foot. Wish I saw this before spending $180. I was having a prob with tension. I'll now leave my machine with needle up and presser foot up!

I have the exact same machine Lyric and have kept taking it in for repair and unless I’m too old to sew I need some help on trying to fix this on my own with your help! I can’t get the threader to work and I also have Trouble trying to quilt with it! Please help if you can. I’m in Canada and have been sewing for 58 yrs.

Thanks for you video. I have a Baby Lock ESL. Do you know what type of software cartridges it uses to insert into the machine?

Thank you so much! My needle is hitting the metal circle case that the black bobbin holder sits in. How do I adjust it so the needle will go all the ways down and not hit the sliver case?

Hello, could you possibly help me? I have a babylock brilliant and everything I cut my thread when I'm finished sewing, it won't cut all the way off. I have to end up pulling it off. What am I doing wrong??

How do I keep my thread from knotting up when I first begin a seam

Thank you so much for this video. Please see if you can answer my question, maybe you make another video on this subject. My needle is not centered anymore. So: How can we center the needle ? I found various videos in this subject but for different machine which are not the same as Babylock. I have a Brilliant model. TYIA for any help you can provide !

Thank you!! I have been using my Babylock Verve and it was sewing not quite straight...i had not cleaned it, ever. Oops! I followed your steps and cleaned it out with the brush and followed up with a hairdryer on low to blow out remainders. I was amazed at how much fiber dust was in there.

On my baby lock Jazz11 bring thread up to number 5-4 thread broke cant get to ouy too tight to pull

I have a baby.locķ eclipse dx and suddenly 1 of the air ports is not feeding h is there so etching I can use to clear the fingers

I am looking for videos on Baby Lock Tempo . I bought a used one. I printed the manual but tutorials would be awesome.

Thank you

Thanks for a great tutoring video - but HELP !!! I have this issue and Baby Lock technical support is horrendous! I susspect were "talking" to an artificial intelligence robot - they do not respond directly to queries ! Sorry letting off steam / Wonder if you can help me I switch on the unit (Crescendo Model BLCR ) and receive the message The Guideline Marker was not operating properly" then immediately got a second message saying "A malfunction occurred, turn off, then on" Then the screen freezes! No solution - any idea ? Thanks !! also to your youtube material !

HI! we are having issues with the safety device activated - it spend 8 weeks in the shop and they could not "replicate" the problem. Brought it home 100 buckspoorer and cannot sew more than an inch without the same problem. If you hold your hands completely away from the machine, it might sew 5 or 6 inches before the "safety device" is activiated. It has been a problem for a long time, I have given up on this very expensive machine. Any suggestions>?

I have an Ellegro that will stay on only for a little bit of time when in use. But it will stay on when not in use. Any suggestions

My Babylock Symphony will not threads. (It used to). I have throughly cleaned it. Any suggestions?

Hi! Please help me. I have a baby lock brilliant. I just cleaned it . I removed the needle plate just like you did to gently clean with a brush. Suddenly when I start sewing it won't let me use any other stitch patterns other than the straight stitch no.3. Whatever I press, the other patterns it would stay on no.3 stitch needle position. can't do any zigzag or any decorative stitch. Whenever I would press the decorative stitch patterns category it will say "TURN OFF THE POWER AND REPLACE THE NEEDLE PLATE." I tried turning it off and taking off the needle plate and put it back on but it will still give me the same problem. would you know what I could do to fix it? Please help me! Thank you!!!

Suddenly got a "FO5" or "F05" (not certain if its an O or a zero) Error Message and machine (Baby Lock Designers Model) is locked. Help?

I have a Babylock Presto II. What code on the front panel should I use for a pretty straight stitch? My machine is currently set at 3.5 and 2.0, but my stitches look like they run together on the top of the fabric. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Do you think that is the answer for the problems with jezz baby lock two

My hand wheel is stuck! Help. What can I do?

My put on the walking foot, but my needle shows in the middle, but when I look at it, it is in the far left position. I tried to move it but not working

My machine is clicking. I changed the needle. I cleaned it, adjusted the tension. But, it is still clicking and the thread keeps snapping or breaking. I adjusted it. But have no clue what wrong. I think I might need a new machine. Lol I make quilts and have 7 I have to finish before Christmas.

I saw in my guide book to use 75/11 needles

I have a piece of thread stuck in the threading system bu the #4 spot. I can grasp it, but it is stuck stuck stuck. I called a rep at the company and they told me to take it to the shop. I have had it for one month. It is probably due to having not threading it correctly. how can I get that piece of thread out? I can't use the machine with it in there.

Thank you. It looked like you pulled your thread from the top. The diagram on my baby lock has you pull it from the bottom. Does that matter with cross wound thread?

My Babylock symphony does not reverse when I press the reverse stitch lock button. What could be wrong?

Help, what could be causing the needle and bobbin to make a clacking sound.

My machine will only sew backwards... I'm really far from the nearest Baby Lock Repair; what can I do?

What make your babylock have a tapping sound.

My fabric is not moving as I see on a baby lock presto II. What can I do.

Just bought new baby lock jubilant and received 3 weeks ago. Worked fine right away. When I used it yesterday the foot pedal when plugged in gave an f4 error message. The finger power worked fine. I called the company and they are replacing it, but I’m concerned it will happen again. Have you heard of this issue from others?

I keep getting an error: turn off and replace plate. Can you help?

my threader will not thread, what can I do

How can I contact you? cannot find your email. I have issue with upper thread tension. seems like I did all correct, but is not tight enough.

I Have a Babylock Serenade It sews great But when i stop sewing and try to start again the computer shows error on screen. It is about 12 yrs old.

How do you turn off zigzag contoll?
