Baby Lock Imagine Serger Instructional Video

[@susanlauder5308]

Thank you so much for your help! It took me half a day to try and figure out my threading..I been manual threading for awhile because my threading wont align with the eye of the needle. Then I found you here.. Thought I would have to bring it to the store for help... You are a life saver yay!!!

🧵🪡 My Babylock Serger is heaven sent to what I had before ~ with my first serger I had so much trouble getting the tension good enough for sewing I gave in and stopped using it~ when I came across the Imagine BLS and heard there were No Tension fuss… I was hooked 😄 even though it was already out for years~ it was worth it~ Just thread and Go Sew 💕 Love it ~ thank you for these tips and reminders 🌱 Happy Sergering 🌻

I inherited a Baby Lock Imagine and have had a few issues with it. However, the instructions in this video are much more helpful than reading through the manual, and I see that some of those issues are likely due to threading wrongly because the drawings in the manual are unclear or misleading. Actually seeing the machine in action brings the flat drawings, photos and explanations to life. I feel like this machine can be my friend now instead of my nemesis. Thank you!

I have had my babylock imagine for approximately 3 years and this is the most helpful video I've seen regarding its use and maintenance. Thank you so much. I'm trying to use my babylock to its fullest capabilities while teaching myself to sew. I was fortunate enough to purchase a used one that included ALL of the specialty presser feet, instruction manual, rolling bag and extra thread cones. I will save this video for future use because I only sew occasionally. Maybe this new information will help me with my confidence and make sewing even more pleasurable.

This was excellent! Just got this machine and your video will be invaluable! I am saving it to watch later. Excited to try these techniques.

Thank you! I bought an Imagine when they came out as the new top-of-the-line. I'm annoyed that the shop that sold it to me didn't give me this video because I actually learned from this video and I've been sewing on my machine for years. It figures that shop went under with shoddy practices like that. One thing I did learn, the expensive way, was that you MUST line up the green marks on the hand wheel BEFORE you try to thread those needles or you will break off the little hook and have no needle threader. I feel for the folks who've had bad experiences with their dealers here because I know that Babylocck is very particular about who sells their machines. I guess they drop their standards once you get into the areas of a country where there's not enough dealers to make a conpetitive market like in larger cities. 😟

I was recently gifted with an Imagine, it was also purchased when they were first brought to the market! I haven't used it yet, and this was a great video to help me get familiar with this new to me machine!

[@maryhull531]

An old video but extremely helpful and informative . I had this machine for nearly twenty years and still learnt something new.!

[@shellyscott8275]

Just what I wanted. Very informative and covered in detail everything I needed to know. I can now go back to my machine with a confidence I lacked from merely reading the instruction manual. Thank you.

[@alexalessllc.7745]

Thank you so much for posting this! I I received this video as a VCR Tape when I bought the machine in 2000 something? It has saved me a few times. As you can imagine my Baby Lock is still going strong but the VCR not so much. Y'all made my day!!!

[@sandyhearth8249]

Wow! That was so helpful! I bought this machine in pristine used condition and I cannot wait to try it out! I'm so happy that this video is available even though it's an older model. Thanks!

[@bonniekonjevich7574]

It would be extraordinarily helpful if BABY LOCK'S video production/camera people would photograph the hook behind the needle in A GIANT CLOSE PICTURE OF IT. Visual learners like me learn this even more rapidly. TKS!

[@cherylp.3347]

Wow that’s a lot to take in. I just got my first serger, hope I can learn how to operate it quickly. This video is very helpful, I’ll refer to it often.

[@waiheketranscend]

Wow and I thought I knew how to use my babylock! cheers

[@delawnh8217]

Love this video... very informative... thank you!

[@darlenehealy3150]

This is a wonderful instructional video. I have the imagine but really didn't have a clue about using it. This will be my "go to" for help now. Thank you so much.

If you do a search you can find the Instruction Manual and the two sided Quick Reference Threading Guide as downloadable pdfs.

[@tammydressler4876]

@@alexalessllc.7745 The manual is okay, but the photos are low resolution so they get fuzzy/pixelated very quickly when one attempts to enlarge them for a closer look. Also, the threading sections do not clearly show some of the steps and make it look like one has to remove that little upper cover in order to get the needle threads behind it... I had NO IDEA that one is supposed to simply run the thread through the slots around it, and I am quite sure this was the cause of at least 90% of the issues I have had with my machine. This video was MUCH more helpful than the manual, and I will come back to it again and again as I expand the types of stitches I use on my machine.

[@jewele5079]

Excellent refresher with clear and detailed explanations!

[@bonniekonjevich7574]

Another thankyou comes as you demonstrate how to lock a stitch in the beginning, which I learned at one time, but haven't recently thought of, as a Fray Check user.

[@Natazavrik]

Thank you for posting this! This video is so incredibly helpful!

[@iuliadobre9769]

Very, very good serger!!

[@mrsresinvaleriepayn5203]

2 years I’ve had my imagine, and I thought I didn’t have a needle holder, then when you showed the hidden tray, I looked at my machine and quests what. Yes I have the accessories. Thankyou

[@karins.127]

But how do I use the gather technique?

[@nmayor8290]

The lock button has jammed, am I able to unjam at home or must I take it to a technician?

[@davidlarson4422]

interesting... the local dealer sold this to me today as latest and greatest. now i find out on the net it's 20 year old model and going to be discontinued?.... i was in a tight spot -- current machine broke in middle of project due tomorrow (100 napkins and wedding paraphernalia to match) so needed a machine just to 'cover' till i could get the other serviced. way over priced for a twenty year old model, prices on these machines are insane. my other has worked for thirty years without so much as a hiccup till today. they know they have you so they stick it to you... not so much as additional needles as a thank you for spending near 2k. only dealer around too. ah well, break over, back to work. napkins won't roll he themselves.

[@bellasee1]

David Larson ,omg I had the same experience with my purchase.I like the machine, but would have appreciated an honest sales person, he was the owner of the store! I hope your next purchase will be with an honest business.

[@kathyreese9232]

Mind Blown. But I have to say--I always dress like that to sew and my nails are always perfect! :)

[@sandyhearth8249]

[@jannycook9537]

OMG, thankyou I've been looking for a Video that explains how to use my Babylock Imagine Now time to see what Feet accessories will can do.

3 Thread Flat Lock Seam 22:45 🪡🧵

[@bonniekonjevich7574]

Wonderful way to treat the thread end without cutting it then having to rely on Fraychek . The knotted end method isn't as attractive but functions..

[@annieeagleburger7870]

Anyone know who this woman is? 👀

[@nhra7861sis]

I watched this whole video hoping to learn how to change the upper cutting knife!?!? Can anyone help me with that? I can’t get the needle plate off or the screw that holds the cutting knife 😔

It's serger, not surger.

[@azumono]

Oops - thanks, fixed

[@nancypollard4531]

I'm sure the information is good but the production quality is horrendous. Too painful to watch.

[@ferrett031]

Out of focus, terrible video looks like it was filmed in the 60’s!

[@azumono]

More like the 90's. This is a rip of the original VHS tape that came with the machine. I did not produce it, just digitized and uploaded it so others could also view. I have no affiliation with Baby Lock.
