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.
Be sure, when you thread the machine, you ALWAYS RAISE the presser foot. Also when threading from the thread tree down through the tension disk, give each thread an extra little tug to make sure it is seated.
Always thread each thread in the order specified. Threading out of order will guarantee failure. If a thread breaks, start over with no thread in the machine.
Not knowing the make & model of the machine limits out ability to help. What is Step 4? When threading the top thread, ALWAYS RAISE the presser foot. Verify that the thread path is correct--mis-threading is a frequent cause of broken thread.
Watch your thread while sewing slowly. You may be able to see where the problem originates. It may just be a matter of the thread popping out of a thread guide or looping around something it shouldn't.
Avoid old or bargain bin variety thread. Invest in fresh, good quality thread.
Try installing a brand new needle.
When threading the upper thread, ALWAYS RAISE the presser foot. Remove all the thread from the machine and rethread from the beginning. Confirm the thread path is correct and that the bobbin is loaded and threaded correctly. Set the tension to the midway point to start and then tweak it for your particular machine.
Most machines thread basically the same. Thread spool Thread guide Thread guide Tension Take up lever Thread guide Thread guide Needle. There may be an extra or one less of the guides but for the most part I've been able to thread any machine. Good luck and god bless Angela
Place spool of thread on the spool pin, found inside the carrying handle on the top right side of the machine facing the back.
Lead thread through the upper thread guide, located just beyond the machine's handle.
Lead thread through the second upper thread guide, found a few spaces to the left of the first upper thread guide mentioned in Step 2.
Bring thread around the second upper thread guide down into the thread guide.
Lead thread toward you down through the tension discs.
Continue to pull thread down through the ****. Forming a "U" shape, bring thread back up the left side of the guide, catching the check spring as the thread moves back up through the guide on the left side.
Bring thread up to the take-up lever and insert thread through the eye of the lever in a right-to-left motion.
Lead thread downwards, slipping it down through the horizontal thread guide.
Guide thread through the wire thread guide that is attached to the needle clamp.
Insert thread through needle from front to back, pulling thread four to six inches to create a thread extension. The machine is now threaded.
thread this machine by taking a strain of thread from the spool pull it to the thread guide on top left side of machine criss cross the thread when you wrap it around the thread guide pull thread down and loop it under the needle thread tension control dial bring thread up and loop it on the thread take up lever, continue down to the needle looping it first around the metal piece above it then through the needle it self pull thread to back of sewing manchine with the bobbin thread
