How Your Machine Operates

Awareness of the Euphoria's simple operation will enable you to become more proficient in its use.

Please read all instructions before using your new machine.

Use one, two or three chain/cover stitch needles and one looper for a chain or cover stitch.

When forming a chain stitch, the chain needle thread catches the chain looper thread to form a straight

stitch on the top of your fabric and thread chain loops on the underside. Use 2 or 3 cover stitch

needles and the chain looper to form a double or triple row of straight stitching on the top and a weave

of thread on the underside of your fabric.

After setting up your machine for the first time, take a few moments to learn how it sews. Before your

machine is threaded, turn the handwheel toward you and watch the operation of the various parts.

Needles

Thread

All types of thread may be used on your Baby Lock, but 100% long-staple polyester thread,

crosswound on a cone, consistently provides the best stitch performance. Because the threads must

pass through several thread guides at high speeds, they must be of uniform thickness and high

strength with a minimum amount of linting.

Good-quality cotton or cotton-covered polyester threads sew well, though they produce more lint,

creating the need to clean the machine more frequently. Poor grades of these threads can result in

frequent fraying, breaking and unbalanced stitches.

Threads of other fiber contents and weights may be used, depending on their strength and

thickness. Testing will help you determine how easily they can pass through the thread guides,

thread slots, needles and looper. For more information see page 38.

Important Note: For maximum performance of the Baby Lock Euphoria, it is recommended to use

100% polyester-long fiber thread. This thread also performs best when used with various

decorative threads for sewing specialty techniques.

Setting Up Your Euphoria

1. Remove machine from box

After removing the packing materials from the

box, gently lift your Baby Lock by grasping the

handle provided on the top of the machine.

Place the machine on a sewing table or any

level surface that provides ample work area to

the left. Place the foot controller in a pedal

stay, if desired, and place it under the sewing

table.

2. Plug in the machine

Plug the power cord into the machine first, then

into a wall outlet. The power switch is located

toward the back on the right side of the

machine. Always make sure the power is off

when the machine is not in use (fig. A).

Available foot controller for U.S.A. and

Canada: Model YC-482.

Place the foot control cord along the inside of

the channel located on the bottom right side of

the machine (fig. B).

3. Polarized plug

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade

wider than the other). To reduce the risk of

electric shock, this plug is intended to fit in a

polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does

not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it

still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician

to install the proper outlet. Do not modify the

plug in any way.

4. Foot controller

The sewing speed of the machine is

determined by the amount of pressure applied

to the foot controller. When not in use, do not

place anything on the foot controller, or the

machine could start inadvertently and the

controller or motor could burn out.

5. Position the telescopic thread guide

Raise the telescopic thread guide to its

highest position. Rotate the shaft to the left

and right until each section "clicks" into a

locked position (fig. C).

Snap-On Presser Foot

Presser Foot

Release Lever

The Baby Lock Euphoria has the convenience of a snap-on presser foot.

To Release:

1. Raise the presser foot lever to highest position. This will also lower the

feed dogs out of the way.

2. Raise the needles to the highest position.

3. Push the presser foot release lever located at the back of the presser

foot holder.

4. Slide the presser foot slightly toward you and carefully turn the back

section of foot clockwise 90 degrees.

5. Slide the presser foot to the rear to remove.

To Replace:

1. Raise the presser foot lever. This will also lower the feed dogs out of

the way.

2. Raise the needles to the highest position by rotating the handwheel

toward you.

3. Slide the foot from the left to right.

4. Align the bar of the foot with the groove in the holder.

5. Lower the presser foot lever to snap the foot into place.

6. Turn the hand wheel counterclockwise to engage the feed dogs in the

up position.

The raised markings on the toe of the foot are seam line guides. They indicate the needle positions to

help guide your fabric for accurate seaming.

Knee Lifter

Your Baby Lock Euphoria comes equipped with a knee lifter.

If you move the knee lifter to the right, the presser foot will rise and the feed dogs will lower.

When the knee lifter is returned to the left, the presser foot lowers and the feed dogs rise.

Using the knee lifter, the presser foot can easily be raised and lowered, leaving both hands free to

manipulate the fabric.

Align the tabs on the knee lifter with the notches in the jack, and then insert the knee lifter by

pushing it toward the machine until it clicks into place. The black "Knee lifter front cover protector"

should be positioned as shown in the below illustration.

To remove the knee lifter, place left hand on the machine's front cover to secure and with right

hand, pull knee lifter straight out.

Thread Cutter

Presser Foot Pressure Adjustment

There is a thread cutter located on the left side of your machine. At

the end of a seam, sew off the fabric edge and continue sewing to

create a 5 to 6-inch (12-15cm) thread chain.

Bring the chain of thread up and back and pull forward into the thread

cutter.

The presser foot pressure has been preset at the factory and rarely

needs adjustment. You may find it necessary, however, to decrease

the pressure for thick fabrics or increase pressure for thin fabrics to

feed more smoothly under the foot. Turn the dial on the left side of

the machine.

To increase pressure, turn the pressure adjusting screw clockwise.

To decrease pressure, turn the screw counterclockwise.

Drop Feed System

When you raise the presser foot, using the lever or knee lifter, the feed dogs lower automatically,

w

hich helps thick fabrics fit under the presser foot.

Needle plate surface

Feed dog

The stitch length adjusting dial is

conveniently located just to the left of the

front cover, near the base plate (fig. A).

The dial shows the stitch-length ranging

from 1, for the shortest stitch, to 4, for the

longest. Simply turn the dial, aligning the

desired setting with the indicator mark on

the machine. A stitch length of 3mm, or

about 10 stitches per inch is ideal for most fabrics. For seaming very lightweight fabrics, you may

prefer a shorter stitch length. When sewing heavier fabrics, you may choose to lengthen the stitch (fig.

B).

Differential Feed

Your Baby Lock Euphoria is equipped with differential feed, which

allows the set of feed dogs to work independently in order to ensure

smooth sewing on all fabrics (fig. A).

When the differential feed adjusting lever, located at the machine's

right, front edge is set on "N" for normal feeding, the feed dogs move

the same distance. This is the setting to use for most fabrics and

applications (fig. B).

When the dial is set above "N", the front feed dog will feed more

fabric than the back feed dog. This is because the front feed dog

moves a greater distance than the back feed dog. As a result, the

fabric becomes compressed or eased, as the diagram on the front

cover indicates. This can eliminate wavy seams in stretchy fabrics or

those cut on the bias grain.

At the maximum setting of 2.0 (fig. D), the differential feed can

gather a lightweight fabric to nearly double fullness (fig. C).

The front feed dog is actually feeding in twice as much fabric as the

back feed dog is feeding out. To maximize the gathering effect, use

the longest stitch length setting. Fabric weight will affect the

gathering. Test stitch for desired results.

When the differential feed lever is set below "N" (fig. F), the front feed

dog moves less distance than the back feed dog. This adjustment

stretches the fabric slightly as it is sewn. The lower settings prevent

puckers on lightweight fabric (fig. E).

Thread Delivery System (Needle Thread Tension)

The Baby Lock Euphoria revolutionizes the way needle thread tension works with its exclusive Thread

Delivery System. You no longer have to manually adjust the tension settings for the type of chain or

cover stitch you are sewing. The Euphoria will automatically feed the correct amount of thread through

the needle thread guides to form a perfect stitch every time.

Needle Thread Fine-Tuning Dial

No adjustments are needed when sewing with most fabrics and threads on your Baby Lock Euphoria,

but certain threads or fabrics may require minor fine-tuning of the Thread Delivery system to perfect

your stitches. Increase or decrease the delivery of the needle threads with the needle

thread fine-tuning dial. With your fingertips, turn the fine tuning dial up or down to adjust the needle

threads equally.

Threading Preparation

15

C

D

A

B

E

When using threads on cones or king spools, place the cone or spool

securely over the cone holders furnished on your machine. To avoid

bending the thread stand, you may need to place one hand under the

stand while positioning the cone. The cone holders prevent the cone

or spool from spinning, enabling the thread to feed evenly (fig. A).

Because threads for the Euphoria feed from the top, standard spool

threads can snag on the rough edges of many of these spools. The

spool caps furnished with your Euphoria will provide a smooth surface

for the thread to reel off the spools freely. With the spool notch side

down, insert a spool cap into the top of the spool (fig. B).

When using standard spool threads on your serger, replace the cone

holders with the sponge disks furnished with your machine. These

disks hold smaller spools securely and help the thread to reel off

properly. With the sponge disk in place, put the capped spool on the

spindle (fig. C).

Thread nets may be placed over threads that tend to slip off the

bottom of the spool during sewing. Most threads do not require their

use, but nets often are necessary with nylon, rayon or silk threads (fig.

D). Once it's on the spool, fold the net back on itself, if necessary, to

enable the thread to feed smoothly without snagging on the net (fig. E).

Front Cover Seam Guide

The distance between the first mark on the left

closest to the needle plate and each needle is:

C-1 needle: 1 inch (2.5cm), C-2 needle: 7/8 inch

(2.25cm), and C-3 needle: 3/4 inch (2cm).

This guide is great for hemming garments with cover

stitch.

1. Turn under hem and press.

2. Align the raw edge of the hem with the needles.

3. Align the folded edge of hem with the correct

guide mark.

There are marks on the bed of the Euphoria that can be used as a guides while sewing. It will

depend on what cover or chain stitch needle position you will be using as to what the width will be.

Your Baby Lock Euphoria is equipped with an exclusive "Electronic ExtraordinAir Threading System"

for fast, easy threading of the chain looper.

One touch of the "Push-to-Thread" button will automatically thread the looper. It is no longer

necessary to use tweezers for threading the thread guides. If the looper thread breaks or runs out,

just re-thread it.

Chain Looper

1. With the presser foot in the raised position, open the front cover and move the threading lever into

the threading position, and rotate the handwheel counterclockwise until the looper tube locks into

position (see page 16, fig. A).

2. Place the thread cone or spool on the "Chain Looper" spool pin. Slip the thread into the telescopic

antenna thread guide above the thread cone.

3. Insert the thread through the hole of the thread guide above the chain looper tension dial from

the

front of opening to the back.

Bring the thread to the back under the thread guide, then up and

over the tension dial, making sure the thread is in the tension disk (fig. A inset).

4. Take the thread down to the chain looper threading port.

5. Pull 22 inches (55cm) of thread and insert 1/2 inch (1.2cm) of thread into the chain looper threading

port. Use tweezers if necessary to insert the thread end (fig. B).

6. Press the "Push to Thread Looper" button (fig. B). If the thread does not go through the eye of the

chain looper with one push, push the threading button again until it does.

7. Open side cover to the left for easy access to the chain looper thread in tray (fig. C).

8. Trim excess thread to 4 inches (10cm) from the eye of chain looper and lay thread back inside the

tray.

9. Close side cover.

10. Once machine is completely threaded for chosen stitching application, set the threading lever to

serging position.
