SOURCE: Instructions for threading Baby lock eclipse BLE1LX for 2 thread sergering

I have just learned this :)
Either needle thread may be engaged for 2-thread serging.
1. Open the front cover and cutting blade cover, cut the upper looper thread just above the threading guide ( this is plate that has two holes for the threads) Raise the presser foot and pull out the clipped thread from under the foot. Remove upper thread from the machine (or you can leave the cone thread on, it doesn't matter).
2. Rotate the handwheel to bring the upper looper to its lowest position.
3. Rotate the subsidiary looper up and to the left, then slip the end into the upper looper thread eye from backside.(this sounds complicated, yes? but it is very simple : the looper has a counter part that is spring-locked to move from left to right and right to left. This is the little claw-looking part of the looper that when in the postion to serg with four threads is to the right side of the looper. It looks like a scorpion's tale. If you can't figure which part it is, use your finger to probe the looper and you'll feel it give a little. This part needs to be moved to the left - it will not slide over, but swing up and over and down, like an arch. Then, where the thread comes out of the looper is where you want the little claw-like part to hook into.)
4. Close the covers. Decrease the needel tension - this depends on what the stitch length is. Stitch length: 2-3, stitch width: 3.0 = L needle n/a, R needle 1; upper looper n/a, lower looper 5
stitch length: 2-3, stitch width: 5.0 = L needle 0, R needle n/a, upper looper n/a, lower looper 3.5

Those are for a flatlock stitch - for a 2-thread rolled edge :
Stitch length: 0.5, stitch width: M = L needle n/a, R needle 4.5, upper looper n/a, lower looper 3.5
Stitch lenght: 1.0, stitch width: M = L needle n/a, R needle 4, upper lopper n/a, lower looper 3.0

Where can I find a manual for my Babylock Special Edition Serger bls200?

Several of these sewing machines for sale on ebay.com and you might contact a seller to offer to purchase a copy of an instruction booklet they list.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/BABY-LOCK-SPECIAL-EDITION-MOD-BLSE200-SERGER-/232947363846

https://www.google.com/search?q=Babylock+Special+Edition+Serger+blse200&oq=Babylock+Special+Edition+Serger+blse200&aqs=chrome..69i57.555j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8



Other copies of the manual are no longer available for sale on a web site that listed parts for that model.

Can I download a user guide for the Baby Lock Eclipse somewhere? My granny lost hers, and I'm looking online for a user guide, but can't seem to find it. Thankx

Here is an online user's guide for the Eclipse-sx (6.60 Mb)

http://www.babylock.com/ftp/whitepapers/EclipseSX_BLE1SX-2_InstRefGuide.pdf

There are more manuals on the babylock site... if this is not your model. Look under products and then sergers. The DX is also listed. Click on the DX and when the page loads click on FAQ's and Manuals. You will see the users guide. Rt click and then "save" as to your computer. Or open the manual and then save it.

Thanks for choosing FixYa,

How to adjust stitch width on babyloc eclipse lx serger

Here is the info about this serger from the baby lock's website. It says the stitch length is a dial. I couldn't find the manual for download, but they say they stand behind their products with support. I would follow the customer support link at the bottom of the page and request a user manual. It looks like they sell an instuctional video and optional workbook too. Might be worth the price to help you get the most out of your seger. Hope this helps!
