Thank you so much for this. You make it looks so easy. The manual instructions are difficult to follow. Glad to see the trick for removing the garnent without having to sew off the edge. I have a question about using wooly nylon. I want to do a cover stitch on a t-shirt. Do I use regular thread in both needles and the wooly in the looper, or does wooly go in the needles as well? I have learned so much from your videos. You haved saved my sanity and my Diana. I would have chucked that thing long ago had it not been for you. You taught me how to thread it! The one thing I still regularly have a problem with is remembering to RAISE the lever to lower the foot. Just the opposite of my SM. I' e starting running the machine many times thinking the foot was down because I could see the lever. What a nightmare. I'm posting a note on my Diana to remind me to raise the lever. LOL. Otherwise, thanks to you, I'm no longer intimidated by the machine. You are amazing!
+Rebecca Baldwin Yeah, that foot raising and lowering being opposite is a bit puzzling. Makes me thing the designers have never sewed a day in their lives. I use wooly nylon in the looper only. Be sure and test on a scrap of the same fabric too. Sometimes it needs to be loosened a tad bit.

Kevin is this setup the same for the Singer professional 5 thread, serger with cover stitch, the babylock you have looks just like the singer model.
Yes it is basically the same as the Singer.
Thanks for the tutorial! Baby Lock's manual isn't very helpful. When I tried this no stitches showed up. Is there a simple reason why that happened?
Make sure all of your threads are seated into the tension disc. Also, verify that you've left 6 to 8 inches of thread tail on the chain stitch looper.
