How to thread a baby lock 2400
Threading the Baby Lock BL2400 sewing machine can be done by following these steps:
1. Raise the presser foot: Lift the presser foot lever to raise the presser foot.
2. Thread the upper thread: Take the thread spool and place it on the spool pin at the top of the machine. Follow the numbered threading path indicated on the machine or in the instruction manual. Typically, the thread will go through a series of thread guides, tension discs, and the take-up lever. Make sure the thread is properly seated in each guide and tension disc.
3. Thread the needle: Thread the thread through the needle from front to back. You can use the automatic needle threader if your machine is equipped with one, or manually thread the needle by holding the thread with one hand and passing it through the needle eye.
4. Load the bobbin: Wind a bobbin with the desired thread and place it on the bobbin winder spindle on top of the machine. Follow the specific instructions for your machine model to wind the bobbin correctly. Once the bobbin is wound, place it in the bobbin case and thread the thread through the appropriate guides or tension mechanism, ensuring the thread is properly engaged in the bobbin tension spring.
5. Insert the bobbin: Insert the bobbin case into the machine's bobbin compartment, making sure it is securely in place. Follow the threading path indicated on the machine or in the manual to ensure the bobbin thread is correctly threaded.
6. Bring up the bobbin thread: Hold onto the top thread with your left hand and turn the handwheel toward you with your right hand to lower and raise the needle. As the needle rises, a loop of the bobbin thread will appear above the needle plate. Gently pull the top thread to bring the bobbin thread loop up through the needle plate.
7. Pull both threads to the back: Hold both the top thread and bobbin thread together and gently pull them toward the back of the machine, ensuring they are out of the way of the needle.
8. Perform a test stitch: Once you have threaded the machine, insert a fabric scrap under the presser foot and lower the presser foot lever. Select a straight stitch or another desired stitch on the machine and slowly begin sewing to test the stitching.
Remember to consult your Baby Lock BL2400 instruction manual for specific instructions and diagrams related to threading and operating your particular machine. It will provide you with detailed guidance tailored to your machine's features and functionalities.
