The engineering that went into this design in incredible. Simply engage the jet-air threading system and push thread into the threading port, push down a lever and viola, a looper is threaded! Both upper and lower loopers can be threaded like this.
If that wasn't all, there is a needle threading mechanism for both needles. Just select which needle is to be threaded and engage the needle threader.
Traditional overlockers will have issues if the lower looper is threaded while the needle threads are wrapped around the lower looper. I have shown this issue in my video • Serger (Overlocker) Th... . This Baby Lock machine alleviates that issue because the thread is guided by the threading system behind the needle threads. Therefore you can thread loopers and needles in any order you like with no risk of causing a snarl up.
Check out my threading speed run near the end. I'm wondering how much faster the Jet-Air system makes threading compared to a traditional overlocker.

I’m french and didn’t understood all your comments. But!!! The video is such amazing good quality that it is very clear for me now
Thank you so so much 😃😃😃
Best explanation ive ever seen about this machine, Thank you
This is the very best Video .
The close up visible is so good, my old eyes could actual she want was being done.
Very helpful! Thank you!
brilliant video so informative.. Thank you
I've been using an eclipse for over twenty years, it is the best! I find it really helpful to use the little tweezers that come with the machine to hold the thread to easily insert the thread into the loopers. I was taught at a company training seminar that this method keeps the natural oils from your fingers from ending up in the looper airways and NEVER ever lick your thread. Hope this helps.
Thanks for the tip. It makes sense that natural oils from fingers could foul the threading port.
@N03m1 Zbermeo I found mine on Ebay and I LOVE IT! I got it for unde $300
good advise about the lick as i think most people do that.. myself for one
thank you so much! Perfect close up view of what is going on that I was having difficulty seeing myself.
I just called where I purchased my eclipse about 5 years ago. The owner told me to look in the envelope which came with the machine. Remove the tiny wire to put through the loopers and then attach the thread and pull everything thru. My machine now works perfectly!!!Again you need to do a video of this quick repair on the Eclipse. No, it is not for sale. I’m not sure whether I can just use the air vent again. But it is rarely necessary to put a thread in from scratch.
Thank you so much for explaining the issues with the lower looper and the two needle threads. I have an Elba serger and am having so many issues with that lower looper and the needles. Now I know why!
Glad it was helpful!
You do a great job of explaining this thank you very much
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for this wonderful video! You saved my life! I am an Aussie living in Tokyo and I just purchased this beautiful machine but the instructional video was a little bit lacking. Thank you again!
Glad I could help!
Thank you so much. I was having trouble with 2 elements of the threading, this video cleared up both. A really great explanation.
Glad it helped!
Thank you so much!! I was struggling to get my grandma's machine threaded even with the manual.
Glad I could help!
Merci bcp😊😊😊😊😊
I loved this video. It helped me understand my eclipse that I am having trouble with. The air does not blow hard enough to get my threads into the piping and come out where they should. Something is wrong with my machine.
Maybe there's some dust or foreign matter in the bellows? It may need a service. Thanks.
@@InStitches thank you very much for your quick comment. I certainly got it working again. Maybe I have gotten rid of dust but maybe I don’t need to use the bellows at all. It would make it a tiny bit easier but the machine runs just fine now. Will let you know when day if I need to start from the beginning to thread my beautiful eclipse. I truly loved your complete video.
Necesito saber si acá en Chile hay un servicio técnico
Thanks for sharing such a detailed video on threading the baby lock serger. I also have a similar baby lock serger (BL 55). I have threading problem. When I press the threading lever thread does not come out of the needle, it stops somewhere in the middle. I keep pressing the lever but to no avail. Please help me. By the way, I have cleaned the path way there is no obstruction. Best regards
Thank you so much for this video, i was pulling my hair out trying to thread my Babylock desire 3 without any joy. I'm still struggling with the fact that I thread it all up at once I sew with it, only the needle appears to work, I can't get it to overlock, I think it may be set wrong, but am having trouble finding where to refer to for guidance online.
Thank you so much for this video. I am a beginner and this is my first machine. Please excuse me if this is a dumb question but what are the cones for one the 4 pegs? I see that you left them on for the serger thread (the large thread). Do they typically come with serger thread or do they need to be purchased separately?
where do i find the serial number to the baby lock eclipse dx serger
Hello. My baby boy and I sit and watch your videos while the girls have tea. 😂 Just came across an Eclipse ble1lx with a small lcd computer on board. Just wondering if you have ever dealt with that model and your thoughts?
I am thinking of purchasing one. Thank you.
That's awesome! Sorry but I haven't dealt with that particular model.
I just got a baby lock evolution and the stitch finger is so flimsy it bends when you pull the thread chain and it will skip the stitches and the stitch finger will get bent and almost break the needle because of the pull idk why they change the finger design on the evolution and I think evole ? I hoping on ordering the replacement part for the stitch finger hoping it’s more sold metal
I got my serger fixed and it’s so much better
I can’t get thread to go into ports more than 1/4 inch or so. How do you make the thread stiff or straight enough to go down 1 inch into the ports? Are there any tricks?
The thread should be able to be pushed in 1 inch unless there is a slight blockage in the port. Maybe the thread you're using is kind of fluffy if you know what I mean? That could cause issues too. Maybe try different thread?
@@InStitches I am using Maxi Lock thread, which I have been told is the best cone serger thread.

If there's non of that problem with this baby lock why bother putting that badly spoken part in ? 6.13 !!!
Just explaining the advantage of the Baby Lock threading over other traditional serger threading systems. Cheers.
