Thank you! Two hours spent trying to get it back together using the instruction manual. After ten minutes with your video I'm all set. What a difference a few little hints make.
Great walk through! Thank you!🎉
Clear and concise instructions! That did the job!
Thank you!
Thank you, thank you! Just saved me a trip to the sewing machine repair guy! Why don't the directions that come with the machine say to match up the arrow and the white dot!! Now it's written in so I'll never forget.
Thank you for this video. I appreciate, especially, learning what a damaged bobbin case looks like. I try to take great care of my machine so I know what to look for while cleaning. I like your style, too. No stress!
two days trying to replace bobbin case to watch your video and find you have to replace the plate first : did that and all went together perfect. Thank you
THANK YOU!!!! Your video was so very helpful!
Happy to be able to resume my holiday projects! 😊🧵🪡 Happy Holidays
Thank you so much. Thought i was going to have to take my babylock cresendo in. I had not put the bobbin case in correct. Yay. Back to quilting!
THANK YOU!!!! I could not get it back together correctly. It turns out that the plate had come off in one piece, but it's really two. When I separated them and put them in one at a time, it worked. And also a needle has gone through my bobbin, which I wasn't even looking for until you held up one that looks identical to mine. I'll send for a new one right away and hope that fixes some of my missing stitches!
This was extremely helpful, thank you for the full breakdown step by step
Very helpful. Thank you! I had no idea the bobbin case was so dirty!
Thank you for the excellent video. I was going to send my machine in for service and wait weeks but after watching your video I see my bobbins case has two holes and that must be the reason my thread start knotting and breaking needles. I ordered replacement parts online and hopefully I can fix the machine myself and get back to making beautiful things. Thank you!
Thank you so much! The video completely solved my hour+ quest to figure out the problem!
Because of a 6 week wait to get my machine in for a cleaning, I decided to do it myself. Afterwards I was getting an intermittent error about the needle plate that cleared immediately. After your video, I think the problem is solved!!! Thanks so much!
If you try everything in this video and things still aren't working right, put the bobbin case back in LAST (after needle plate and L-shaped cover plate). This hint came from the sewing machine repairman at my Baby Lock dealer. A life saver!
Thank you! Wonderful video (Love my Babylock, Grace A-Line Series).
This was excellent, thank you.
Very helpful!! Thank you!!
Do you need to oil anything?
Awesomely helpful!!!
You make it so entertaining to watch! And I don't even have a babyloc
THANK YOU THANK YOU everything is so nice and big to see thank you again
Thank you so much!!
This was very informative. I have a small nick on my sewing plate that I think has been causing many thread breaks. I was wondering though why they don’t make the bobbin case out of a better material.... one that doesn’t have chunks that break off.
Thanks for this video. It was very clear to understand. May I suggest that the white plastic portion be replaced before inserting the needle so there's no chance of dropping the needle into the machine. Also, due to a very slight misalignment during manufacturing, I need to open my accessory box before I can pop that white portion of the cover forward.
I was extremely frustrated trying to remove this cover until I figured the out. the accessory box cover must also be open to replace this case cover portion. My dealer agreed with my assessment of my particular problem.
Hi Marlette! Thanks for sharing your experience! That is a great idea to put the white/gray portion back before replacing your needle to avoid the chance of your needle falling into the machine!! Carla did actually remove the accessory box from the machine to move the white/gray portion on and off.
Great video on for cleaning & re your bobbin case, although mine have no dots. Do you have a video you can recommend to clear a bobbin safety lock????
Patty, that message usually if there is a bind in the machine. When you remove the Bobbin Case and the needle plate and rotate the handwheel toward you. It should be easy to turn. If you attach those parts and it becomes hard to turn, they may not be assembled properly.
Great video, thank you!
So informative! Any idea how to replace trimmer mechanisms? Theres no brother dealer near me and they've stopped cutting in my dream machine
Thank you so much for this video!!!
I unscrew the metal needle plate first to avoid dropping the screws into the machine where they are hard to retrieve.
Very helpful, thanks
Thank you for showing this but I have a question my boobin case keeps popping out and the thread gets stock in the bobbin case how do I fix that
Hi Claudia, if the Bobbin Case is seated properly, the problem could be a damaged Bobbin Case or a Technical Issue. We recommend contacting your local Baby Lock retailer to have one of their technicians take a look at your machine.
thanks for sharing
Thank you 😊😊😊❤️
Do you know if there is a specific video to clean the bobbin area of Baby Lock Jazz 11, I sure can't find one.
Which version of Babylock is this machine, mine does not have the fuzz on the side but underneath
That was of great help!,,
Baby Lock Presto 2: I followed the directions and cleaned it nicely. It is sewing great but sound like the bobbin is going to come out or stitch improperly. The stitches are fine but it sounds terriable. What is going on with it??
Where do you find the piece you aren’t supposed to remove? The felt buffer that holds the thread tails in place while the machine is trimming, mine was loose and I pulled it off...before I watched your wonderful video!
Hi J R, thanks for reaching out to us. To better assist you, we recommend filling out this support form found here - babylock.com/support/contact
Thanks for the tip. I was getting frustrated.
What if one of the screws on the plate is too tight to get off? Hard to maintain and clean it out when one of screws is too tight and you’re likely to strip it.
Thank you 😊
Can you tell me why my machine is slow? Google told me to clean it I cleaned it. I've cleaned and oiled it and it still slow. It used to run like a plane taking off now I push the pedal all the way down and it doesn't go like it used to. 😭
i havw ldrop my needle in the machine how can i get it out ? please help
Received an "F01" Error Code on my Decorator's Choice Baby Lock. Have
checked & triple checked for any thread issues in the needle and
bobbin areas (underneath needle plate too) including the upper threading
portions...nothing obstructing whatsoever. Contacted Baby Lock
"Support" and of course they were no help. Any help you can send my way
would be greatly appreciate
Hi Queene, thanks for reaching out to us. Our in-house support and QA team recommends having your local Baby Lock retailer's technician evaluate your machine.
What if one of the screws on the needle plate is stuck and will not budge at all
Thanks
Brush or vacuum the feed dogs as well.
Okay so I can’t find a video about oiling the machine? Do we not oil our baby lock machines???!
I have the same question. Seems like before the bobbin case is put back in you should drop a few drops of oil in the center.
Where can I buy a new case?
Hi Jacqueline, you can purchase replacement parts and accessories for your Baby Lock sewing machine from your local Baby Lock retailer - bit.ly/32KOzTo
I cannot get the bobbin mechanism back into the baby loc designpro
HELP
Can I purchase a clear bobbin cover with those markings on it?
Hi Donna! What machine do you have? Just let me know and I will look to see if there is one compatible with your machine. Thanks for asking!
Great video ! where can I order a new bobbin case for my Anna Baby Lock sewing machine? Thank you.

HOW DO YOU REMOVE BOBBIN CASE TO CLEAN UNDERNEATH IT
Thanks it really helped
Today is Marcy 9, 2019 … I have spent 2 HOURS trying to align the bobbin case and have watched this tutorial A LOT & the manual hasn't been any help either!! When I think the case is aligned with arrow & dot as soon as I try to do check stitch it keeps wadding the THREAD. The bobbin case is aligned according to the manual and this video. When I turn the wheel everything seems to be okay, but it's not.
I'VE HATED THIS MACHINE SINCE THE PURCHASE and I TELL ANYONE THAT IS LOOKING FOR A MACHINE TO STAY A WAY FROM THIS ONE! I have gone back to using my Vintage Singer Machines that have NEVER given me an ounce of trouble.
Spends 2min. on removal of bobbin case cover.....next scene holding bobbin case, doesn’t show how it was removed....not helpful.
Why not use canned air to clean bobbin housing?
Hi Jane! We try to avoid the canned air because we don't like to blow anything into the machine. If you would like to use something to pull the dust/build up out, we'd recommend getting keyboard vacuum attachments and pull it out vs. blowing it into the machine. Thank you for asking!
If you use canned air you will for e tiny pieces of lint into the machine. It will build up in the inaccessible, to you, areas and cause problems requiring a professional cleaning sooner than you may have needed. You would be surprised how much lint can be forced into areas you can't see!! Using a vacuum with the electronics accessories is a much safer and efficient method of cleaning your machine if you think you need to get lint out that you can't reach with you brush tool. The accessory set costs about $20-25,00 which is much cheaper than a repair!
