From The Workbench With Doug - 8-Thread Serger Care & Maintenance Tips

[@snyyng]

Yay! I don’t know why this didn’t show up when I’ve searched in the past, but I’m so grateful it showed up now! Doug is great! And so are my Baby Lock machines!

[@karenfoxworth]

Thank you, Doug. Seeing how to properly use can air was great. I brush the loopers after every project but can’t get some of the lint out. This will do it.

Great video, Doug. I am a new Triumph owner and will follow your video to clean my machine. Thanks for this helpful video.

[@trinacairns9509]

Thanks so much! Right from the off, useful info I didn't have before - e.g. the reason for moving to the "rolled hem" setting prior to cleaning.

[@kimharrington1764]

Another great one that I didn't realize was here! Thank you 🙂

[@elizabethmcguire1702]

Amazing - had no idea I could remove that plate to clean! This is great, thanks!

[@Alexisdealer]

Thank you Doug!

[@evelynmorgan2778]

Thanks. I have never done this before

[@lindaperkins5405]

Thank you so very much!! Amazing video. I am definitely going to do this now that you have shown me how. I can no longer afford annual cleanings at my dealer. They want $200 and have a 3 month turn around time. Crazy.

[@dougthompson2958]

Linda, Please keep in mind that only Technicians can reach internal components that need lubricated, It is suggested to take your machine to the retailer yearly for full service.

[@joannecava2418]

Thanks so much!

The canned air scares me. It’s always been so drilled into my mind not to use it that I felt myself tense up. We’ll have to take his word for it, as he works with them daily 😬

[@emmakearney4487]

thankyou so much, you are a blessing

[@glendamarsh9452]

Wowser!! I didn’t know about plate removal either 😳😳🤗 Thanks a million

[@barbaraludekens8049]

Great tutorial! But I have a problem with my chain threader. It won't allow the thread to go through all the way. I cleaned as you directed, but no help. I'm wonderings if I can use the spray into the threader hole?? I have tried to use my metal threader but it gets stuck also. Please advise me!

[@linhenderson3627]

Hey Doug, my baby lock Evolve is stuck on the wave stitch what can I do... I've had it repaired twice but looks like I need a permanent fix because it keeps Going back to this situation. Thanks for any assistance you can offer, Liz

[@larrymorgan6359]

Thank you - sure did not know about the plate removal. I always vacuum my machines - I was told many years ago not to use can air on my machines as it put moisture in them. Glad to see I can. My big issue on my Imagine is one of my looper ports does not take my tread in. It sounds like the air is being released, just won't take the thread. Is there a way for me to fix this without having to take it an hour and a half away? Thank you again,.

[@engineernurse]

Try running your treading wire or a stiff piece of fishing line through the tubes...you may have a 'fuzzy' caught somewhere.

[@larrymorgan6359]

Thank you. I will.

[@glendamarsh9452]

Well watching again but notice it says Accolade. Assume the up down lever is on left back side. So a little confused on the ‘up down’ part & that canned air😳😳angle to hold!!

[@yolandaalexander4245]

😲 Wow that was good, were can I get the spray cleaner for my machine?

[@elizabethmcguire1702]

It's called canned air. It is definitely sold at Office Depot, Staples, Best Buy. You can also ask your local Babylock dealer if they carry it. :)

[@yolandaalexander4245]

@@elizabethmcguire1702 thank you

[@classicalbk]

What about oil?

[@tourlady522]

Doug I really love all your videos but the music in the background is very distracting.

[@lindahowe7658]

Your right hand blocks the camera.

[@Dmsrk8118]

I've always heard not to use canned air!

[@s.s.0]

Why?

[@marlenep2644]

You shouldn't use it pointed into the workings of the machine. He instructs to aim it to the left, not into the machine.

[@tamaraketchell6098]

Me, too
