Baby Lock Victory & Imagine Maintenance - Montavilla Sewing

I’m trying to rethread the lower looper, and the jet air mechanism seems to be blowing air in the wrong direction, so instead of “sucking in” my thread, it blows it back up the port. Do you know how I fix this?

Why won’t my upper looper pull the thread all the way through? It’s making it through bridge but not out the top.

its possibly you have lint buildup in the tubes. you can use the wire looper threader that came with your machine, double over some thread twice in the eyelet at the end of the wire so you have a total of 4 strands of thread coming off the end of the wire. dip those threads in some isopropyl alcohol and thread it through the loopers the same way your would the thread, but gently push the wire through, being careful not to bend it, instead of using the air pump. repeat this 3 to 5 times and try threading again.

My needle threader isn’t working. I was told it might be bent. Can I sort this out at home or does it have to go to the repair shop?

[@MontavillaSewing]

Try using the threader and notice on which side of the needle the thread gets pulled up. That could tell you that the little hook is bent that direction. Using a small flat-bladed screw driver carefully bend the hook the other direction. The tiny hook is delicate, so if you feel unsure then yes, take it in for repair.
