Frequently Asked Questions - Audrey BL67 BABY LOCK

How do I wind the bobbin?

Raise the presser foot, place spool on spool pin, pass thread through guides, pull thread through hole in bobbin, place bobbin on winder shaft, push shaft to right, hold thread end, start machine, trim tail after a few stitches, and the bobbin will stop automatically when full.

How do I thread the upper thread?

Raise the presser foot and needle to highest position. Place spool on pin with cap. Follow the thread path: down right channel, up left channel, right to left through take-up lever, down left channel, through guide at base of face cover, and finally through needle eye from front to back.

Why does the needle threader not work?

Ensure the needle is raised to the highest position and the presser foot is lowered. The needle threader only works with needle sizes 11, 14, and 16. Check that the needle is inserted correctly with the flat side to the back and not bent.

How do I adjust the thread tension?

Turn the tension dial: a lower number loosens upper tension (if bobbin thread shows on top), a higher number tightens it (if upper thread shows on bottom). For zigzag stitches, use slightly weaker tension.

How do I sew a buttonhole?

Mark buttonhole length and position. Set button on the buttonhole foot base. Attach buttonhole foot, lower the buttonhole lever behind the raised finger. Start machine; it sews the buttonhole automatically in sequence and stops when done. Cut center open with cutter.

How do I change the presser foot?

Turn off power, raise needle to highest position, raise presser foot lifter, push release lever to remove foot. Place new foot with pin under holder slot, lower foot lifter to snap into place.

How do I clean the feed dogs and hook area?

Unplug the machine. Remove needle plate and bobbin case. Use the lint brush to clean feed dogs and hook area. Add a drop of sewing machine oil on the hook race (arrow A). Replace bobbin case with projection against spring, then needle plate.

What should I do if the machine skips stitches?

Check needle insertion (flat side to back), replace bent or dull needle, use correct needle size for fabric (e.g., stretch needle for knits). Consult the fabric/thread/needle table on page 18.

How do I activate the drop feed for darning?

Locate the drop feed lever under the left end of the free arm. Push it in and to the back to lower feed dogs. To raise, move lever forward and left, then turn handwheel one full turn.

What are the action beeps indicating?

One beep confirms button presses (e.g., needle up/down, reverse). Three beeps indicate a problem: if machine jams, remove obstruction; if in buttonhole mode, ensure lever is lowered and foot attached. If persistent, contact service center.

SEWING HEAVY FABRIC

When sewing heavy fabrics, the toe end of presser foot tends to lift up and sewing will hesitate at the point that the fabric is thicker. In this case, place a piece of cardboard or fabric of same thickness under the heel end of the presser foot.

- The presser foot lever can be raised 1 step higher for placing heavy materials under the presser foot easily.

Carefully guide the fabric with your hand when sewing over thick fabric areas.

A: Fabric B: Thick paper or fabric

SEAMING GUIDE ON THE STITCH PLATE

The figure on each guide line on the stitch plate indicates the distance between this guide line and the center needle position. Guide the fabric along the specific guide line in order to get the desired seam allowance between the stitching and the edge of the fabric.

The thread tension must be properly balanced. If adjustment is required, it can be made by changing the upper thread tension.

A. Correct Thread Tension

Upper and bobbin threads should interlock in the middle of fabric.

B. When bobbin thread appears on top side of fabric.

Turn the tension dial to a lower number to loosen the upper thread tension.

C. When upper thread appears on the bottom side of fabric.

Turn the tension dial to a higher number to tighten the upper thread tension.

D.Thread Tension for Zigzag Stitches

To sew zigzag stitches, the thread tension should be set to a slightly weaker tension than when sewing straight stitches.

You will obtain a nicer stitch when upper thread appears slightly on bottom side of fabric.

- Helpful Hint

When stitches on top side of fabric are good but bottom side tends to have a bunch of thread (as illustrated), the upper thread is not threaded correctly, especially in the upper thread tension area. Refer to page 13 and rethread machine correctly.

CAUTION: To prevent accidents.

The feed dog will feed the fabric automatically. Do not pull or push fabric with hands. This could cause needle breakage or poor quality stitches.

FABRIC, THREAD AND NEEDLE TABLE

Your machine can sew zigzag stitches of various widths and lengths by changing the settings of the stitch width and stitch length. See page 10 for changing width and length instructions.

- Attach all purpose presser foot. - Select stitch 06 by touching direct select button.
zag stitches are very good for joining two pieces of
rics or overlocking.

For joining knit or stretch fabrics, sew with the left side of the zigzag stitching along the seam line.

For overlocking, sew with the right side of the zigzag at the edge of the fabric.

SATIN STITCHING or APPLIQUE

You can sew a satin stitch with the zigzag stitch by shortening the stitch length.

FREE ARM SEWING

By simply removing the extension table, machine becomes a free arm machine making hard to reach areas readily accessible.

- Refer to page 5 for Removing The Extension Table.

USING THE OVERCASTING FOOT

Position the fabric against the guide plate of the overcasting foot so that the needle falls near the edge of the fabric.

A. Overcasting stitches (width 6.5-5.0) are used for preventing raveling of fabrics.
B. Some stitches can sew the seam and overcasting at the same time. Therefore, it is convenient for sewing easy to ravel and stretch fabrics.

CAUTION: To prevent accidents.

Overcasting foot should be used for sewing patterns 06,18,19,and 37 only and do not change the stitch width narrower than 5.0 It is possible that needle could hit the presser foot and break when sewing other patterns and width.

USING THE GENERAL PURPOSE FOOT

When using the all-purpose foot, place the fabric so that the needle will fall near the edge of fabric.

C. For thin or fine fabrics, use a narrower zigzag width or 3 step zigzag stitch.
D. Adjust the width and length for various weights of knit and stretch fabrics.(When using overcasting foot, do not change the width narrower than 5.0mm.)
E. For1/2 inch seam allowances, sew then trim the excess fabric close to the stitching Be careful not to cut thread when cutting the fabric edge.

This stitch will sew without stitches showing on right side of fabric.

1. Fold the fabric as shown on drawing. Leave 5mm (approximately 3/16 inch) extended past the folded edge.
2. The guide (A) on the blind hem foot ensures even feeding of the fabric when blind hem stitching. The guide (A) is adjusted by turning the adjusting screw (B).
3. Place fabric so that the straight stitches are on the extended hem edge and the zigzag stitches just catch one thread of the folded edge. Turn the screw so that the guide barely touches the folded edge of fabric.
4. Lower the presser foot and sew hem, guiding fabric evenly along the guide.
5. Turn the fabric over when you have completed sewing.

1. Mark position and length of buttonhole on fabric.
2. Set button on the base and slide base forward to secure button.
   * If button does not fit on the base, adjust slide on base to diameter of button plus thickness of button.

a= Length of button + thickness

3.Pass upper thread through the hole of buttonhole foot and attach buttonhole foot to machine. Bring upper and bobbin threads to the left under foot.
4. Position fabric under presser foot so that the center line mark is in the center of the needle opening in the buttonhole foot. With the main part of the foot pushed to the back, lower the presser foot lever.

1. Lower the buttonhole foot lever so it is positioned behind the raised finger on the foot (see step 5 illustration).

Note: Machine will not start to sew if buttonhole lever is not lowered properly or buttonhole foot is not positioned correctly.

Note: If machine does not reset for second buttonhole, be sure the presser foot raised finger is pressed against the lever.

1. Hold upper thread lightly and start the machine.

1. Machine will sew the buttonhole in the order as shown and stop automatically when buttonhole is complete.
2. Cut threads. Raise presser foot lever to highest position to restart same Buttonhole in another place on fabric.

NOTE: To sew over buttonhole 08 a second time, raise presser foot to return fabric to starting position.

1. With buttonhole cutter, cut center of buttonhole open. Be careful not to cut stitches on either side. Use a pin as a stopper.

CAUTION: To prevent accidents.

When using buttonhole cutter, do not put your finger in the path of the cutter.

NOTE: When sewing stretch fabric

It is suggested that you use interfacing on the backside of the fabric.

Note: Density of buttonhole legs may be adjusted with stitch length control.

CORDED BUTTONHOLES

Hook the filler cord(crochet thread or buttonhole twist) to the spur in the back of the foot. Pull both ends of the cord forward and parallel under the guide.

Sew buttonhole in the way that zigzag stitches cover the cord. When completed, release the cord from foot.

Pull ends of the cord forward and snip off extra length.

Used for sewing on elastic band and overcast stitching on knit fabrics.

A. Elastic Sewing

Stretch elastic in front and back of needle while sewing. Be careful not to bend needle while stitching.

B. Overcast stitching

Used for easy to ravel and knit fabrics. Guide fabric so stitch on right side is at the edge on the fabric.

ELASTIC STITCH SEWING

Elastic stitch sewing assures you of a stitch that is strong and flexible and will give with the fabric without breaking.

Good for stretch or knit fabrics and seams that require flexibility.

It is good for joining durable fabricssuch as denims.

We recommend that you use a needle forknit and synthetic fabrics to prevent skipped stitches and thread breakages.

STRAIGHT STITCH SEAMING AND QUILTING

Select stitch #1 in the center needle position.

Because of the small opening, the straight stitch is the ONLY stitch to be used when sewing with the straight stitch, quilting or 1/4 foot. Turn the handwheel and watch that the needle will go into the needle hole of the foot.

STRAIGHT STITCH SEAMING

The straight stitch foot is designed with a small opening in the foot to provide additional support against the feed dog teeth when sewing lightweight fabrics.

QUILTING 0103

The markings on the 1/4" foot are to aid in guiding fabric edges for perfect 1/16",1/8", or 1/4" seams. Align the fabric edge with the marking of the foot for the appropriate seam width. Sew, guiding the fabric edge along the marking.

NOTE: When using stitch 03 thread monofilament in the upper thread and tighten the upper tension to 7. Sew at slow speed and the bobbin thread will appear on the surface of the fabric to resemble hand stitch quilting.

FEED DOG CONTROL

The feed dogs control the movement of the fabric that is being sewn.

They should be raised for all general sewing purposes and lowered for darning, freehand embroidery and monogramming so that you, not the feed dogs, are moving the fabric.

The feed dog lever is located under the left end of the free arm.

① Push the lever in and to the back of machine to lower the feed dogs.
② Move the lever forward and to the left to raise the feed dogs. Turn the handwheel forward one complete turn for the feed dogs to return to sewing position.

DARNING

Select straight sewing stitch number 1. Width setting should be on 3. Lower the feed dogs.

The length dial setting does not apply when the feed dogs are lowered.

Remove presser foot and presser foot holder.

Screw the darning foot onto the presser bar with the extended arm of the foot resting above the needle clamp screw.

Stretch fabric using embroidery hoops placing the hole to be darned in the center.

Holding the needle thread, take one stitch and pick up bobbin thread through the fabric.

Lower presser foot lever and start sewing at a slow to medium speed, moving the fabric back and forth with a steady rhythm. Turn fabric and sew another layer of stitching across over the first layer of stitching.

For additional decorative purposes, use different kind of materials.

1. Place two pieces of fabric right sides together and sew a basting stitch.
2. Press the seam open.
3. Place fabric right side up and stitch with the seam line in the center of the foot Stitches should fall on both sides of the seam line.

APPLIQUE 34 \~ 38

1. Position the applique on fabric with fabric glue, fusible iron on stabilizer or basting stitches. (When using fabric with frayed edges for the applique, press under 1/4 inch on all the edges.)
2. Sew along the edge of the applique. Align the straight part of the stitch with the edge of the applique to give this project a hand-made appearance.
3. When pivoting corners, lower the needle in the right side of the stitch. Raise the presser foot and use the needle to pivot and turn the fabric.

Align the right side or the left side of the zipper foot pin with the presser foot holder, lower the presser foot lever to attach the foot.

1. Needle stitches to the left of foot.
2. Needle stitches to the right of foot.
3. To insert zippers, consult the zipper package for instructions on how to prepare zipper placket and place zipper. To sew close to the zipper on the right side, snap the zipper foot onto the presser foot holder on the left side so the needle passes through the opening on the left side of the foot. Snap the foot onto the presser foot holder of other side of the loose to the left side of the zipper.

PIPING

To insert piping, purchase pre-made piping or cover cording with a bias strip of fabric using the zipper foot snapped on to the right side of the presser foot holder. Place the piping between two layers of fabric Stitch with the piping next to the foot so the stitching is tight against the cord.

These stitches are used to sew a decorative edge on garments and table cloths.

① SCALLOP HEM 28

1. Fold the fabric with right sides together and sew near the edge.
2. Cut the fabric along the seam leaving an allowance of 3 mm(1/8") for seaming. Notch the allowance.
3. Turn fabric with right sides out and gently push out the curved seam press.

② DECORATIVE SCALLOPEDGE 29 66

1. Place the fabric with wrong sides together and stitch near the edge.
2. Trim along the outside edge of the stitching (being careful not to cut the stitching).
3. Use seam sealant or fabric glue to secure edges of the scallop stitching.

ADJUSTING DECORATIVE PATTERNS

303233 40～66

Use the open toe foot for continuous decorative stitch patterns. An indentation on the underside permits the flow of satin stitching and the open front allows clear visibility.

To tailor decorative stitch patterns, adjust the length and width of the pattern. More LED lights results in a longer or wider stitch pattern. Fewer LED lights gives you a shorter or narrower stitch pattern. Experiment with sample fabric until you get the desired length and width.

Note: Some stitch patterns do not have both length and width adjustment.

SEWING LIGHTWEIGHT FABRICS

When sewing lightweight fabrics, it is suggested that you use interfacing on the backside of the fabric.

To ensure the best possible operation of your machine, it is necessary to keep the essential parts clean at all times. Always disconnect the machine from power supply by removing the plug from the electric outlet.

CLEANING THE FEED DOGS AND HOOK AREA

1. Raise the needle to its highest position.
2. Remove the needle plate (1)
3. Remove the bobbin and bobbin case (2)
4. Clean the feed dogs and hook area with the lint brush

NOTE: Put drop of sewing machine oil on the hook race as indicated by the arrow A.

1. Replace the bobbin case with the projection (3) positioned against the spring (4). Replace the needle plate.
