How Your Serger Operates
Sometimes called an overlock machine or overlocker, the serger is different from any conventional
sewing machine you have used. Awareness of its simple operation will enable you to become
m
ore proficient in its use. Please read all instructions before using your new machine.
Serging is kind of a knitting process that loops two, three or four threads together to create a
stitch. Your Baby Lock Celebrate operates with one or two needles and one or two "loopers,"
each carrying a thread to form the overlock stitch.
When fabric is placed into the machine, it reaches the feed dogs first. The feed dogs move the
fabric along as the cutting blades trim the edge, creating a clean edge to be finished. Then the
loopers and needle(s) form the stitch on the fabric edge, supported by one or more parallel "stitch
fingers" --metal prongs that keep the fabric flat. The threads become "locked" over the fabric and
the resulting stitches encase the raw edge with thread to prevent fabric raveling.
After setting up your machine for the first time, take a few moments to learn how it sews. Before
your serger is threaded, turn the handwheel - toward you - and watch the movement and
operation of the various parts. Don't bother with fabric at first. It doesn't hurt your serger to stitch
without fabric under the presser foot.

Needles
Thread
Optional Accessories
Your Baby Lock Celebrate serger is set up with 75/11 machine needles, which are suitable for most
medium and lightweight fabrics. For heavyweight fabrics, change to a size 90/14 needle. The
needle's semi-ball point design is suitable for knits and wovens. Some manufacturers' needles
may produce better quality stitches with your Baby Lock than others. For best results, use Organ
or Schmetz brand needles - system HAx1SP/CR, and replace them approximately every third
project. (see page 43)
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. They work well for overedging and
seaming, but they may be too weak or too fuzzy for the rolled edge. 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 loopers. For more information. (see page 41-42)
Important Note: For maximum performance of the Baby Lock Celebrate, it is recommended to
use 100% polyester, long-fiber thread. Recommended brands are Maxi-Lock and Metrosene.
This thread also performs best when used with various decorative threads for serging specialty
techniques.
There are optional snap-on specialty feet available for the Celebrate. The optional accessories
are available at your Baby Lock retailer.

After removing the packing materials from the box, gently lift your Baby Lock serger by grasping
the handle provided on the top of the machine. Place the machine on a serger sewing table or
any level surface that provides ample work area to the left of the machine. Place the foot control
in a pedal stay, if desired, and place it under the sewing table. 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 control for U.S.A and CANADA. : Model YC-482.
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.
The sewing speed of the machine is determined by the amount of pressure applied to the foot
control. When not in use, do not place anything on the foot control, or the machine could start
inadvertently and the foot control or motor could burn out. (fig. A)
Raise the telescopic thread guide to its highest position of 14". Rotate the shaft to the left and
right until each section "clicks" into a locked position. (fig.B) The front cover may be opened
simply by placing your fingers behind the tab at the right side and pulling toward you. (fig.C)
To open the cutting blade cover, place your thumb against the tab, and slide the cover to the right.
A slight pull forward will allow the cover to swing down, providing access to the loopers, blades,
and thread guides. (fig. D)

Guides
When no trimming is desired, as when stitching on a fold,
flip the cutting blade lock switch clockwise to the LOCK
position. The cutting blade no longer moves up and
down, but remains in its lowered position. To re-engage
the cutting blade, turn the cutting blade lock switch half of
a turn counter-clockwise. The blade will start moving
automatically when you start sewing.
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. Use a coin to turn the screw on top of the
machine.
To increase pressure, turn the pressure adjusting screw
clockwise.
To decrease pressure, turn the screw counterclockwise.
The Celebrate has the convenience of a snap-on presser
foot.
To Release:
1. Raise the presser foot lever.
2. Lock the cutting blade.
3. Raise the needles to the highest position.
4. Push the presser foot release lever located at the back of
the presser foot holder.
5. Carefully turn the presser foot clockwise 90 degrees.
6. Slide the presser foot to the rear to remove.
To Replace:
1. Raise the presser foot lever.
2. Lock the cutting blade.
3. Raise the needles to the highest position.
4. Slide the foot from the left to right.
5. Align the bar of the foot with the groove in the holder.
6. Lower the presser foot lever to snap into place.
The presser foot that comes with the Celebrate has a tape
sewing slot. Insert the tape or ribbon into the slot in the front
of the foot, then under the sole of the foot. (see page 36 for
more instruction)
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.

The stitch length / rolled hem adjusting dial is conveniently
located just to the left of the front cover, near the base plate.
(fig. A) The dial shows two stitch-length ranges, from 0.75,
for the shortest stitch, to 4 for the longest. (fig.C) As the dial
indicates, one range is for standard sewing and one is for
rolled edging or narrow seaming.
Simply turn the dial, aligning the desired setting with the
indicator on the machine. A stitch length of 3mm, or about 10
stitches per inch is ideal for seaming and overedging most
fabrics. For overedging or seaming very lightweight fabrics,
you may prefer a shorter stitch length. When sewing
heavier fabrics, you may choose to lengthen the stitch. (fig.
B)
Note: 0.75mm is located between the 0 and 1 on both
standard and rolled settings.
The stitch width adjusting dial is located above the stitch
length dial. (fig. A) The stitch width dial displays two sets of
numbers, indicating two width ranges. The larger size
numbers on the dial, 5.5 through 7.5mm, denote the stitch
width dial when the left needle is in use. The smaller size
numbers, 3.0 through 5.0mm, apply when the right needle
is in use. The "M" setting (3.5) is for the rolled edge.
Adjusting the stitch width moves the upper cutting blade. It
also moves the stitch fingers further apart or closer together
for complete fabric support with any stitch width.
The stitch width is variable by the placement of Right and
Left needles and the stitch width dial positions. (Fig. B)
Use a wider stitch on loosely woven fabrics. You may prefer
a narrower stitch on knitted, tightly woven or sheer fabric.

Differential Feed
A
B
C
E
F
D
Your Baby Lock serger is equipped with differential feed.
The sets of feed dogs 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 differential feed lever is set above "N", the front feed
dog will feed more fabric than the back. 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 action can
eliminate wavy seams in stretchy fabrics or those cut on the
bias grain.
At the maximum setting of 2.0 (fig. C), the differential feed
can gather a lightweight fabric to nearly double fullness.
(fig. D) The front feed dog is actually feeding in twice as
much fabric as the back feed dog is feeding out.
To maximize the gathering effects, 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. E), the
front feed dog moves less distance than the back feed dog.
This adjustment stretches the fabric slightly as it is sewn,
pulling it taut as it enters the needle. The lower settings
prevent puckers on lightweight fabric (fig. F), add more
stretch to swim wear and active wear, and can be used to
create a lettuce edge. (see page 26).

Threading Preparation
A
B
C
D
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 serger feed from the top, standard
spool threads can snag on the rough edges of many of these
spools. That's why spool caps are furnished with your
Celebrate, to provide a smooth surface that enables the
thread to reel off 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)

Your Baby Lock Celebrate is equipped with an exclusive "Instant Jet-Air Threading System" for
fast, easy threading of the upper and lower loopers. One push of the "Jet-Air" threading lever will
automatically thread the loopers. It is no longer necessary to use tweezers for threading the
thread guides.
If a thread breaks or runs out, just re-thread it. There is no need to follow any threading sequence.
1. With the presser foot up and machine lock button in the locked position (fig. B), set the
looper threader selector lever to "L" for lower looper threading. (fig. B)
2. Place the thread cone or spool on the far right front spool pin on the thread stand (fig.C page
16). Slip the thread into the telescopic antenna thread guide "1" directly above the spool, snap
into the thread guide "2" at the top of the machine, then through the slot on the front of the
machine. (fig. C page 16)
3. Pull 18 inches (45cm) of thread through guide "3". Insert the end of the thread into the
threading port "L" about 1 inch (2,5cm). Use tweezers if necessary, to insert the thread end
more easily.
4. Depress the looper threading lever. (fig. D page 16) If the thread does not go through the
lower looper eye with one push, depress the threading lever again until it does. *(see page 16)
5. Clip the thread 4 inches (10cm) from the lower looper eye and leave it hanging loose.
6. Move the lock button release lever to the right.
1. Open the front cover.
2. Raise the presser foot to release all threads.
3. Depress the machine lock button firmly. (fig. A)
4. Rotate the machine handwheel slowly toward you until the looper tubes move to their
connecting position. (fig. B)
Note: The Celebrate must be in the locked position when threading the loopers unless otherwise
indicated.
