Configurable Handlebar Buttons
The Regalia handlebars are configurable; you can decide which functions you want the buttons to operate. Once configured, the front and back handlebars work the same. The machine comes from Baby Lock configured to have the right handlebar control starting and stopping quilting, and increasing stitching speed in Manual mode or stitches per inch in Regulated mode. The left handlebar controls cycling the needle up and down, and slowing the stitching speed or decreasing stitches per inch. However, you can switch the functions from one side to the other when you set up your machine. You can also select from several functions and assign one to the star button and another to the diamond button. For example, choose to have the diamond button perform a tie- off and the star button perform another desired function.

2. Align the screws in the thread stand bracket with the two holes in the side of the machine (top tension side). Use a 2.5mm Allen wrench to tighten the bracket firmly to the side of the machine.

Regalia Ruler Base (Optional Accessory)
If you plan to use rulers and templates with the Regalia, you will need to purchase the ruler base to give you a large, stable surface on which to rest the ruler or template. The ruler base and rulers and templates are optional accessories. For more information, visit http://www.babylock.com. To install the ruler base 1. The Regalia machine comes with four
preinstalled mounts for the ruler base. 2. With the Regalia Ruler Base tilted down about
30°, align the back ruler-base hooks with the machine mounts until they are about to catch, then lower the front of the ruler base until the front hooks align and catch also. With all four ruler-base hooks aligned and started onto the machine mounts, push the ruler base back into the final position.
To remove the ruler base · Grasp the front corners of the ruler base, pull the ruler base towards you and then up on an angle off the machine.

To use rulers and templates with your quilting machine U CAUTION: Use only 1/4 inch thick rulers with your machine. Do not use rotary-cutting rulers; they are too thin and can easily slip under the hopping foot. Always use the Regalia Ruler Base to stabilize the ruler.

10

Regalia User Manual | 21

Keep the ruler flat and quilt only where the ruler is held securely. Avoid losing control by walking your hand along the ruler or stopping and repositioning your hand and/or the ruler.
· Quilting with rulers requires gentle three-point pressure as follows. 1. Position and press the ruler against any side of the hopping foot. 2. Press machine against ruler. 3. Press ruler against ruler base with only as much force as is necessary to keep the ruler from slipping. Too much pressure will keep the machine from moving.
The quilting line will be approximately 1/4 inch away from the ruler edge. The markings on all Baby Lock rulers take this into consideration.
NOTE: Set the machine to stop in the needle-down position to keep the machine from moving while making adjustments with the ruler.
Rear Laser Stylus (Optional Accessory)
The laser light (for use with pantographs) is installed on a mounting post. The post is threaded into a hole on the machine casting. The hole is found towards the back of the machine on the free arm about 3 inches in front of the rear wheel. To install the mounting post and laser stylus
1. Locate the mounting post with nut and washer, the laser stylus, and the 8mm combo wrench.
2. Remove the nut and washer from the mounting post. Place the nut all the way onto the mounting post and then the washer (to protect the machine paint). Thread the post into the tapped hole on the machine all the way and then fix its position by tightening the nut.

22 | www.BabyLock.com

3. Slide the laser clamp onto the mounting post and tighten the two knobs on opposite sides of the clamp.
4. Plug the laser cable end into the laser stylus port on the back of the machine. This is found on the tension side of the machine inset in the rectangular shaped opening.

The laser projects a straight laser beam visible as a dot on surfaces it hits. The laser dot is used as a guide or stylus enabling you to use printed pantograph designs and stitch the pattern onto a quilt by tracing the design with the laser dot. The laser attaches to a mounting post which attaches to the machine. The laser stylus can move in any direction by rotating the clamp on the post and pivoting the laser up or down. To make an adjustment, simply loosen the black thumbscrews, position, and re-tighten.
 IMPORTANT: A label is attached to the laser’s case and contains an arrow which indicates the direction of the laser light when energized. The label must remain in place on the laser. Removing the label voids the laser’s warranty.

12

Regalia User Manual | 23

Laser Operation and Safety
Unplug the laser from the back of the machine to turn it off. Be sure the laser is attached to the machine and pointed downward toward the table before connecting it to the port. Never point it in a direction that would project the beam into someone’s eyes. If the laser should stop working, ensure the plug is firmly seated into the Regalia laser port.
Laser Focus and Image Size
Focus the laser by turning the threaded housing surrounding the lens clockwise or counterclockwise. The laser image can be adjusted to project a bigger or smaller dot, or focal size. The direction of rotation needed is determined by the distance of the laser from the pantograph surface. Experiment by rotating the threaded end to achieve your desired focal size.
Laser Safety
When using the laser stylus, observe the following basic safety precautions. · Never shine directly into the eyes. · The laser stylus should never be left on and unattended. · Do not use the laser stylus as a toy. · Pay close attention when the laser stylus is being used by or near children or pets. · Use the laser stylus only for its intended use as described in this manual. NOTE: If you can’t see the threaded housing, the lens may be threaded too far into the laser body. You will need to use a large slotted screwdriver to turn it counter clockwise until the housing is visible. You can then rotate it with your fingertips to bring the light into focus. Be very careful to not scratch the lens when using the screwdriver. U CAUTION: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

To change the hopping foot 1. Raise the needle and foot to their highest
position. Remove the foot that is on the mount by using the 2.5mm hex wrench to loosen the mounting screw far enough that you can slide the foot off of the mount. 2. Slide the desired foot onto the mount. Note that the opening on the side of the foot is lined up with the screw hole. Push the foot up as far as it will go.
3. Fully tighten the screw with the 2.5mm Allen wrench.

NOTE: Before threading the needle, test that the machine is threaded properly and the tension is correct by carefully pulling the top thread. It should pull smoothly with light to medium tension. If thread pulls freely with no tension, re-thread the machine, ensuring that the thread is flossed into the tension discs.
IMPORTANT: The Regalia does not have a presser foot lever or top tension release like a home sewing machine. On a home sewing machine the top tension is released when the presser foot is raised, allowing the thread to come freely out of the machine. When a home machine is threaded the tension discs are released and open to allow the thread to easily fall between the tension discs. This isn’t the case with the Regalia quilting machine. The top tension is always engaged and the tension discs are never open. Therefore the thread must be pulled up, or flossed, between the tension discs or it will stay outside the discs and float without tension, causing serious tension problems and/or thread nests.

Bobbin and Bobbin Tension

The Regalia quilting machine uses M-class bobbins that are larger than home sewing machine L-class bobbins. The larger bobbins hold more thread and enable you to quilt for a longer time between bobbin changes.

The Regalia also has a low-bobbin alarm. For more information about the low- bobbin alarm, see To configure the low-bobbin alarm settings in the Toolbar Options section of this manual.

28 | www.BabyLock.com

14

To wind the bobbin The Regalia comes with a separate bobbin winder. For full instructions about using the bobbin winder, see the instruction manual that is packaged with the bobbin winder. To insert the bobbin into the bobbin case
U CAUTION: To prevent personal injury always turn off the front power switch while inserting and/or removing the bobbin case or anytime your hands are near the needle area, such as when you change the needle.
1. Place the bobbin in the bobbin case so that the thread pulls off clockwise when viewing the open side.
2. Slide the thread through the slot and under the tension spring, leaving approximately five to six inches of thread hanging loose.
To test bobbin tension The bobbin tension is the foundation for stitch tension. Always set the bobbin tension first.
NOTE: Check the bobbin tension each time a new bobbin is inserted. 1. With the bobbin properly in the bobbin case, hold the bobbin case in the palm of your hand with the
open end facing up. 2. Wrap the thread two to three times around the index finger of the opposite hand and attempt to lift
the bobbin up by the thread. The bobbin case should stand up on its side, and slightly lift out of your hand. If the bobbin will not stand up on its side, the bobbin tension is too loose. If it lifts completely out of your hand and hangs by the thread, the bobbin tension is too tight. To adjust the bobbin tension · Make the adjustment using the screw in the center of the tension spring. (The larger of the 2 screws) Turn clockwise to tighten and counterclockwise to loosen the tension. Make tiny adjustments to the bobbin tension and test again.

15

Regalia User Manual | 29

To insert the bobbin case into the machine 1. Move the needle to the up position. Turn off the power to the machine using the front button. 2. Place the bobbin in the bobbin case so that the thread pulls off clockwise when viewing the
open side. 3. Slide the thread through the slot and under the tension spring, leaving 5 to 6 inches of thread
hanging loose. 4. To fit the bobbin case onto the hook spindle
in the machine, orient the bobbin case as shown in the photo with alignment notch to the right. Push the bobbin case inward until it clicks into place.

NOTE: Do not insert the bobbin case into the machine by lifting the lever on bobbin case. Use the lever only for removing the bobbin case.

Quick-Set TensionTM

One of the joys of quilting with the Regalia is its ability to handle many different types of thread. You can quilt with almost any high-quality thread as long as you first adjust the bobbin tension and then adjust the top tension to suit the thread you’ve chosen.

Puckering, gathers, and thread breakage occur when the top tension is too tight. Loops and thread nests occur when the top thread tension is too loose. Tension may need to be adjusted depending on the fabric, thread, or batting you are using on the project.

NOTE: Top tension should be adjusted after the bobbin case tension adjustment is made.

NOTE: Dark threads will be thicker (because of dye) than light threads of the same weight and may require a tension adjustment. The type or brand of thread may also affect tension settings. Each time you change threads, you should check your tension.

 IMPORTANT: Before adjusting your top tension remember to floss the top thread up between the tension discs or it will float outside the discs providing little or no top tension. This could cause significant tension or thread nesting problems.

QUILTING TIP: Test the tension settings before quilting. The best way to make sure the top and bottom tension settings are balanced is by quilting. Keep 4-inch squares of light solid fabric on hand to place at the side of the quilt on the extra batting and backing. Then quilt some loops and swirls and look at the stitches on top and underneath to ensure the tension looks good. Fine tune the tension as needed.

30 | www.BabyLock.com

16

To adjust the top tension 1. Test the stitching with a scrap of fabric placed
on the extra batting and backing at the side of the quilt.
2. Adjust the tension by turning the tension dial clockwise to tighten and counter-clockwise to loosen. The tension value appears on the touch screen. The value changes as you turn the tension dial.

3. Continue to test the stitching on the fabric scrap and adjust by turning the tension dial until you are happy with the stitches.
Tension Quick Start Guide
Bobbin adjustments are minute, like ticks of the clock. 1. Always adjust bobbin tension first. 2. Stitch to check top tension. 3. If thread looks like Diagram A
Problem: The top thread is too tight. Solution: Turn the top tension dial counterclockwise to loosen the top tension. 4. If thread looks like Diagram B Problem: The top thread is too loose. Solution: Turn the top tension dial clockwise to tighten the top tension.

Threading the Machine
Baby Lock recommends that you select and use only high-quality threads for your quilts.

5
6 8
7

To thread the machine 1. Place thread cone onto spool post on the thread tray, insert the thread through the thread-mast
eyelet from back to front, continuing to the thread guide . 2. Continue to the three-hole thread guide . Wrap all three holes from back to front, being careful
not to cross threads. This is recommended for most threads. However, some very delicate threads or metallic threads may require less tension. If you are having problems with thread breaking, try threading only one or two holes of three-hole thread guide. 3. The thread continues down to thread guide just above the top tension and then on to the top tension assembly . Â IMPORTANT: The thread must be flossed up between the two tension discs. If the thread is not
firmly in place between the two tension discs, the thread will lay on top of the tension discs (no tension) and thread looping on the bottom of the quilt can occur.

Installation
These instructions are for installing Pro-Stitcher on your Baby Lock machine (with an 8-wheel PrecisionGlideTM carriage). Baby Lock recommends installation by an authorized Pro-Stitcher retailer, if available. NOTE: This installation is easier to complete without the frame side arms or poles in place. If the side
arms have already been installed, it is not necessary to remove them, but the poles should be removed.
Tools required
· Power drill · 3mm Allen wrench · 4mm Allen wrench · 5mm Allen wrench · Slotted screwdriver (one large and one small) · Phillips screwdriver (one large and one small) · Manual engagement/disengagement tool (see Parts List, item P)
Installation of the X-Rack and Y-Rack
To install the X-Rack
1. Remove the blue 12-foot Flexirack (see Parts List, item B) and the Pro- Stitcher carriage (see Parts List, item E) from the box.

2. Place the Pro-Stitcher carriage on the frame. Starting at one end of the table, begin mounting the blue Flexirack to the front of the table while aligning it to the front white gear on the carriage. Peel back a few inches of the pink protective layer of the tape.

www.BabyLock.com

Getting Started | 11

3. Use the carriage as a guide and align the blue Flexirack with the white gear along the length of the table (see arrow at right), removing the pink protective layer and pressing downward on the blue Flexirack while moving the carriage down the entire length of the table.
4. Double check the alignment of the carriage white gear with the blue Flexirack by rolling the carriage along the entire length of the table.
5. Trim the Flexirack to length using a knife or wire cutters. The blue Flexirack does not need to extend the full width of the table and can be a couple of inches shorter on both ends.
6. At both ends of the blue Flexirack, use two of the small metal clamps (see Parts List, item C) to hold the ends firmly in place. The clamps have a hole through the center and a lip on one end. The lip should be on the side opposite the blue Flexirack. Place the clamps where they will be attached and drill pilot holes using the 3/32-inch drill bit and then use a Phillips screwdriver to fasten the clamps on both sides of the Flexirack to the table. Lip

NOTE: As an alternative, use one clamp at each end. Slide the lip of the clamp over the last gear of the blue Flexirack, drill a pilot hole, and screw in place.
To Install the Y-Rack 1. Carefully lay the quilting machine on its left side (looking from the front). Pay close attention to the
Y-encoder mounted to the rear left wheel so you do not damage the Y-encoder bracket. There is a hole underneath each base plate, near the wheels on the front tension assembly side of the machine (the side with the thread tensioner and guides). 2. Attach the Y-Rack to the bottom of the front and rear base plates with the two 10-24 x 1/2 inch long screws and washers (see Parts List, item H). The blue Flexirack should be toward the middle of the machine while the bolt holes should be toward the outside. Use a 4mm Allen wrench to tighten the screws in the center of the slotted Y-rack holes. The rack will be adjusted later to align the blue Flexirack with the Y-axis white gear.

9. Verify that the Y-axis gear engages the blue Flexirack on the Y-axis bracket. · Do this by looking from the back of the machine between the bottom of the quilting machine and the top of the carriage. If necessary, use the manual engagement/disengagement tool to move the gears so they engage. · If horizontal adjustment is needed to ensure that at least half the white gear and blue Flexirack are interlocking, loosen the two screws that mount the Y-axis bracket to the base plates and push the bracket in the direction necessary, hold in place, and re-tighten the screws.
· Both screws can be adjusted with the quilting machine on the carriage. Pull the machine to the front to access the front screw and to the rear to access the rear screw.

· Pull the quilting machine to the rear of the carriage and ensure the rear of the Y-axis bracket does not collide with the black plastic track retainer on the rear of the carriage. Adjust the Y-bracket if needed. Â IMPORTANT: If necessary, use the manual engagement/disengagement tool to move the gears so they engage. Insert the end of the tool into the hole at the front of the Pro- Stitcher Carriage.

10. With the power cable plugged in and the motors in the engaged position (use the manual engagement/disengagement tool if necessary), ensure that as the quilting machine is moved in both the X and the Y directions, the corresponding gears are rotating, as well.

About the Regalia
The Regalia utilizes high-tech electronics and an innovative touch-pad user interface to offer greater functionality and ease of operation to home quilters than ever before conceived in the quilting industry. The Regalia quilting machine is a high quality machine that incorporates very robust design features and is very easy to service.
The Regalia machine is constructed following a specific sequence of operations, similar to the construction of a house. Walls cannot be erected until the foundation is in place. Similarly, this service manual has been written with an adjustment logic that is driven by the construction processes used to create the machine. If the service technician carefully follows the adjustment steps in the order presented, a well running machine is possible each and every time.
About the Manual and Support
The purpose of this service manual is to help the technician complete a repair on a machine accurately and quickly. The manual is complete with photographs and explanations that we hope will aid you in your repair efforts. In addition to the teaching aids found herein, you will also find all of the tools listed that are necessary for adjustments. If you need help in locating these tools for purchase, please contact Baby lock.
Service Manual Guidelines
· Adjustments shown in the manual should only be made if a setting deviates from the tolerance specified in the manual.
· Adjustments should be made only in the logical sequence shown and described in the manual. Do not jump ahead, or start in the middle of the adjustment sequence. This may cause additional or more serious problems than the original issue.
· Safety must be considered when working on any machine. Safety warnings are included throughout this manual where appropriate, but these warnings do not address all possible safety concerns that might confront the service technician.
· When working on or near any live electrical components or assemblies, the power cable must be removed from the machine.
· We urge you to observe the cautions in the manual.
NOTE: The hand wheel must always be turned in the direction of normal rotation unless otherwise instructed. This is especially true when making the loop-lift timing and needle-height adjustment. Exceptions are removing thread locks or testing belt tension. The hand wheel may be rocked forward and reverse in these cases.

Section 1: General Observation: Thread Mast and Thread Guides
The following observations, accompanied by necessary adjustments, will ensure trouble-free thread passage. Failure at any of these points will significantly affect thread tension.
Check:

and needle bar thread guide (6) for any abrasions,

cuts, or electroplate blistering. Test each guide

by flossing it with thread, left to right and front

to back, in all directions, checking for any defects

that may damage or cut the thread. Replace any damaged parts. (2 mm and 2.5 mm handle Allen)

3. Check the top tension assembly for the following: Check between the tension discs for any foreign
material that could prevent the discs from functioning properly.

Section 1: General Observation: Quick Set Tension Assembly – Replacing the Take-up Spring
1. Remove the following parts from the assembly: knob, detent washer, cone spring with long tail, spring base and two tension discs.
NOTE: the detent washer is placed with the detents away from the knob on the Quick Set Tension assembly.
2. Loosen the set screw under the Quick Set Tension assembly on the front cover casting and pull the tension assembly out just far enough to loosen the set screw on the barrel (step 4), so the center split bolt can be removed from the assembly.
 IMPORTANT: Be careful not to pull the assembly out too far so as to pull off the wire tie internally, which protects the tension assembly cable from interfering with the take-up lever.
3. Loosen the set screw on the barrel, remove the center split bolt.
4. Wiggle and push in on the tail of the spring until the take-up spring pops out of the barrel.

Section 1: General Observation: Quick Set Tension Assembly – Replacing the Take-up Spring (Continued)
Five Checks When Replacing the Take-up Spring:
1. With the take up spring inside the barrel, reinstall the center split bolt. 2. Rotate the center split bolt clockwise to make the spring stronger or counterclockwise to make the spring
weaker. To test: the spring should return all the way to the right end of the slot, regardless of how lightly it is moved to the left. The spring should be just strong enough to always return clockwise to the end of the slot. Â IMPORTANT: The strength of the spring is critical. If it is too weak or too strong, it will not take the
thread up properly and this will cause stitching issues. 3. With the spring strength set properly, ensure the center split bolt is pushed firmly all the way into the
barrel and tighten the barrel set screw onto the center split bolt. 4. Make sure the top tension assembly is pushed all the way into the shoulder on the front cover. 5. Rotate the entire tension assembly to set the straight part of the take-up spring up toward 12 o’clock when
it is in its rest position, and then tighten the front cover set screw onto the tension assembly.

Hook-shaft Timing Pulley 1st screw

Hook-shaft timing pulley
Tools needed: 2.5 mm handle hex tool
NOTE: The hook-shaft timing pulley rotates in the opposite direction as the main shaft timing pulley. Carefully NOTE the labeled first screw.
NOTE: The hook-shaft collar normally does not have a flat, but on the Regalia machines it does; however it is not for timing. The hook shaft pulley first screw is fixed on another hook shaft flat.
Important Hook-Shaft NOTEs
The hook-shaft turns two times per stitch and rotates in the opposite direction as the main shaft. Please carefully NOTE which screw is the first screw in the direction of motion and on the flat.
The hook-shaft pulley is set to a specific setting from the end of the shaft to allow proper needle-to-hook distance adjustment. Adjust the collar to remove axial play, not the hook-shaft pulley. The setting can be thrown off, which may make needle-to-hook distance adjustment impossible.
The Regalia utilizes long collars with two screws in line to help prevent the collar from tipping when tightened, causing variation of tightness or play, as the collar rotates 360°. To ensure that there is no tightness or play, the collar should be checked through a full rotation until it has minimal tightness and minimal play.

Regalia Service Manual

Section 4: Checking and Securing Flats and Screws (Continued)

The Regalia has been designed using flats and special screws to help prevent loop lift timing from slipping, except at the hook. If the hook cannot slip, then something would have to break when something goes wrong. The hook is designed to be adjusted without removing the front cover.
First check the torque specifications chart on page 5, then check the following locations, making sure that the first screw of a timed component has been fixed firmly on the respective flat on the shaft:

Pitman Crank 1st screw

1. The hook-shaft timing pulley (2.5 mm handle hex).
2. The Pitman crank (5 mm L hex tool)
3. The take-up lever driving link ( (3 mm handle hex tool )
4. The main shaft timing pulley (2.5 mm handle hex tool)

Take-up Lever Driving Link 1st screw
1st screw Main Shaft Timing Pulley on flat
Flat

NOTE: The screws are generally positioned 120 degrees apart. When the first screw in Direction of Motion (DOM) (Position 1) has been located and tightened on a flat, the second screw is then tightened, compounding the tightness of the first screw, thus securing and assuring that timing will not change.
NOTE: The brass counterweight position is critical both axially and rotationally.
NOTE: It is important to check that the brass counterweight tightening procedure did not create a tight arm shaft condition. If so, readjust the counterweight again until there is no tightness and minimal-to-no end-play. This is checked by rotating the shaft and checking a few times through a full 360° rotation of the shaft.

Section 5: Axial Play Check and Adjustment
Axial or end play on shafting can result in noise, wear and faulty sewing. Check: 1. Check the main shaft by pushing and pulling on the
hand wheel.
NOTE: A small amount of main shaft axial play is permissible. Too much main shaft play may cause noise and/or stitching issues.

Remove play here Test left to right

If a correction is necessary:
· Remove the front cover.
· Loosen the counterweight screws (3 mm handle Allen)
· Adjust so that minimal to no play is detected. · Provisionally set the screws. · Check that the shaft has minimal play and no
tightness, from the collar being too tight, by rotating the shaft through a few 360o rotations. · Check that the timing of the eccentric is still correct (see counterweight timing page 17). · Fully tighten the screws. · Check shaft again for play or tightness.

Collar set screws

2. Check the hook shaft by pushing and pulling the hook.
If a correction is necessary: · Remove the front cover. · Remove the play by loosening the hook-shaft
thrust collar (not the hook-shaft timing pulley) and adjusting out any axial play. · Check for proper setting by rotating shaft through a few 360o rotations.

Section 6: Adjusting the Base-Plates and Rollers
Tools required: (5 mm handle Allen) Check: The machine must not rock on a flat surface and the wheels must be the same distance from each other front to back on both sides of the machine.
NOTE: This is done on a precision surface plate at the factory during assembly.
If a correction is necessary:
· The rear base plate should be as straight to the machine as possible. The three baseplate screws should be tight.
· The front cover baseplate should be as square to the machine as possible. The two baseplate screws should be tight on the back casting.

BabyLock.com

Check: Use a ruler or tape measure to check the distance from the front to rear wheel. The distance should be the same on both sides of the machine.
If a correction is necessary: · Slightly loosen the two front base plate screws
and adjust. · Tighten the two screws firmly before proceeding to
the next step.
 IMPORTANT: The two front baseplate screws must be tightened before tightening the leveling screw on the front cover casting.
NOTE: If the front cover has been removed to service the machine, the M10 adjustment screw should be flush or recessed in the front cover casting before the front cover is installed onto the machine.

Page 21

Section 6: Adjusting the Base – Plates and Rollers (Continued)
Place the machine on a flat surface or the carriage tracks. Use a 5 mm hex driver, down through the casting hole, to lower the front right wheel until the machine does not rock.
 IMPORTANT: If the two front base plate screws are not tight, or if the M10 screw is extended out of the casting when the front base plate is installed and tightened, then backing of the screw to raise the front right wheel, will make the front baseplate mounting screws too loose. These three screws need to be in tension against each other.

Section 7: Adjusting the Motor Drive/Timing Belt Tension
The Regalia machine utilizes a single motor drive/timing belt system. The belt is a double-sided round-tooth belt. Tools required: 5 mm handle hex tool and 13 mm open end wrench.
Check: With the machine front cover removed. Check the belt tension for tautness by pressing it with your index finger. Press the vertical center of the belt with light pressure. The belt should deflect about ½”. Proper belt tension provides for some belt flexibility under light finger pressure, but should not be so tight as to bind the machine.
Double-check the tension by rotating and rocking the hand wheel. Confirm that there is no backlash or play between the belt teeth and any of the driven components. Confirm, also, that there is an Immediate Transfer of Motion between the handwheel and the hook.
 IMPORTANT: Do not over-tighten the belt as this will make the machine difficult to turn and may cause other undesirable issues, including more belt noise.
If a correction is necessary: · Insert a 5 mm handle Allen tool into the fixing screw
in the center of the tensioner, and loosen it until you can turn the outside of the tensioner with the 13 mm open end wrench. · Turn the tensioner with the 13 mm wrench clockwise to tighten or slightly counter clockwise to loosen the belt tension.
3. Tighten the center fixing screw with the 5 mm handle hex tool firmly.
 IMPORTANT: Do not tighten the belt by turning the 13mm wrench counter clockwise as this will pinch the belt in the small area between the tensioner pulley and the motor pulley. Only tighten the belt by turning the 13mm wrench clockwise.

Section 8: Adjusting the Hopping Foot and Presser Bar

Height

Tools required: 8 mm open end wrench.

Adjusting the Hopping Foot

The Regalia features the KinetiQuilt hopping mechanism; allowing the hopping foot to move (hop) up, down and dwell on the fabric when the needle is in the fabric. This allows fabric to move through the machine similar to a normal sewing machine with a feed dog. The dwell time allows for a longer hesitation of the hopping foot on the fabric and completion of the stitch cycle. The results are better tension, less needle breakage and increased hook life.

The initial setting of the presser bar height is 1.5″ from the bottom of the jam nut to the needle plate surface with the needle and presser bar in their lowest position. This helps set the proper internal spring pressure on the presser bar along with the setting on the presser bar guide block inside the machine. When properly set, the spring tension will be sufficient to hold the fabric properly during stitching and also keep the presser bar from knocking at high speeds.

The customer may be tempted to change the foot height at the jam nut to sew a thick quilt or one with thick seam allowances. This can cause stitch and noise issues.
Check: There should be about 7 (6 to 8) threads showing below the jam nut on the quick change mount adaptor. If this has been screwed way in or out it will affect the spring tension on the presser bar.
If a correction is necessary: · Hold the hopping foot firmly, loosen the jam nut with
an 8 mm open end wrench, and screw the foot until it has 7 threads showing below the jam nut (5 mm from jam nut to top of foot). Make sure the foot is centered on the needle plate hole.
· Tighten the jam nut firmly while holding the foot firmly, being careful not to scratch the foot or mount adaptor.
NOTE: This is the initial setting of the presser bar, not the final setting.

Section 8: Adjusting the Hopping Foot and Presser Bar Height (Continued)
Tools required: 3 mm handle Allen, 0. 5 mm feeler gauge QM40133.

Screw “C” access hole

Screw “C”

Lifting Link

Check: When the needle bar is in its lowest position, the sewing foot should be no higher than 0.5 mm above the needle plate. It is permissible for the sewing foot ring to lightly touch the needle plate.
NOTE: It is important to check how far the foot or foot adapter is screwed into the presser bar before resetting the presser bar height internally at screw C. This is in case the end user has changed the foot height by screwing the foot in or out a number of times. This will negatively affect the amount of presser bar spring tension on the hopping foot and consequently create stitching problems including skipped stitches. (It is not recommended that the customer change the hopping foot height, for this reason) See previous page.
If a correction is necessary:
· Turn the hand wheel until the needle bar is at its lowest position. This is the position where the presser bar is also in its lowest position.
· Place the 0.5 mm feeler gauge (Part # QM40133) under the hopping foot.
· Loosen screw C through the machine front cover access hole (3 mm Allen driver).
· Wiggle the presser bar up or down to the desired position. Tighten screw C firmly while pushing down lightly on the tool blade towards the table. This will ensure that the lifting link and hopping block mechanism make appropriate contact inside the machine for the hopping foot to work properly.
 IMPORTANT: When screw C is loosened, the presser bar guide block and the lifting link can move up off the hopping block mechanism. In this case the hopping foot will not function properly or be the correct height above the needle plate.

The tip will not wobble if the needle is straight. The needle must be centered in the stitch hole of the needle plate. Check with needle eye flush with the needle plate, do not check with needle in the lowest position.
Adjustment for Y axis (front to back): Cover Off
NOTE: The Y (front to back) adjustment is done with the front frame cover off.
If a correction is necessary: · Loosen first screws D and G · Then loosen screw A and B · While pushing the head frame back into the main
casting, gently slide the head frame left or right to correct as necessary. · Tighten screws A and B
NOTE: If needle position changes, repeat the process. Do not tighten screw D or G at this time. They will need to be loose to adjust the X axis in the next step.

Step 1. Loosen the front Philips head screw a little to be able to adjust the barrel. You can also use a flat head screw driver to wedge between the clamp and the headframe. You do not want it too loose or the barrel will spin to freely making it hard to set in the correct position. Step 2. Using a 2.5mm hex driver adjust the clamp until the laser is pointing into desired position. The best way to adjust the laser is to use a piece of paper over the fabric, do a needle up down to puncture the paper and adjust the laser to that point.
63

Section 8: Adjusting the Hopping Foot and Presser Bar Height (Continued)

Final Hopping Foot Check: When the machine is run full speed without fabric under the hopping foot, with the bottom of the hopping foot set at .5 mm above the needle plate, the machine should not knock loudly inside on the hopping block mechanism. If
the presser bar spring inside the presser bar is not compressed enough it is possible for knocking to
occur at higher speeds.

 IMPORTANT: One of the main causes of skipped stitches besides timing is the hopping foot being set too high above
the needle plate.

NOTE: If knocking occurs at high speeds after adjusting the machine as per the previous instructions, you need to add a little more pressure to the presser bar spring, as described below.

If a correction is necessary:
· Turn the handwheel until the needle bar is at its lowest position. This is the position where the presser bar is also at its lowest position.
· Place the 0.5 mm feeler gauge (Part # QM40133) under the hopping foot.
· Loosen screw C through the machine front cover access hole (3 mm Allen driver)
· While holding the tool in screw C, and pushing down on the tool to maintain internal assembly contact, push up on the presser bar and hopping foot to be slightly above the .5 mm feeler gauge to tighten the presser bar spring. Firmly tighten screw C. Repeat this process a couple of times until the internal knocking is minimized or eliminated. The foot will now be too high above the needle plate.

NOTE: It may be helpful to add a business card along with the gage to aid in raising the hopping foot slightly more each time until the spring has the correct tension.

· To make the final hopping foot height setting, loosen the jam nut on the presser bar and rotate the foot down to 0.5 mm or less above the needle
plate. Center the hopping foot ring over the needle plate hole and firmly tighten the jam nut while holding the foot firmly.

Section 12: Checking Loop Lift and Needle Distance
Tools required: Loop Lift clamp (part #QM40199), 2.2 mm forked feeler gauge (part #QM40136), 2 mm ball end L Allen wrench, 2 mm handle Allen wrench and #3 flat screwdriver.

 IMPORTANT: The timing and needle distance adjustment must be done with the front machine cover on.
Loop Lift is a universal hook and timing term for all lock-stitch sewing machines. When the needle lifts a specified distance from the BDC (bottom dead center), the hook point is set to coincide with the needle. This is the radial position of the hook called Loop Lift, commonly referred to as timing. Another part of timing is the Needle Distance. This is the axial distance from the hook point to the needle. Loop Lift is the radial setting of the hook and Needle Distance is the axial setting of the hook. Both of these are set on the hook and fixed with the same set screws. Since two things are being set at the same time, this can be a little difficult until practiced.

NOTE: The loop lift clamp used must have a plastic protective compression pad, so as not to damage the coating on the needle bar.

Check and Observe the following:
· Remove the needle plate.
· Turn the hand wheel until the needle bar is at its lowest position or BDC (bottom dead center).
· Place the loop lift clamp (with special protective compression pad) on the needle bar and set the thumbscrew lightly.
· Place the 2.2 mm feeler gauge between the clamp and the bottom of the head frame bearing surface.
· Raise, reset and tighten the clamp, pinching the 2.2 mm feeler gauge in between the clamp and projected bearing. This step may need to be repeated a few times to remove all excess play between the clamp and gauge.
· Remove the 2.2 mm feeler gauge. · Rotate the hand wheel in the direction of motion, This is very
important! until the clamp lightly touches the gauging surface.

 IMPORTANT: If the hand wheel is turned too hard, the clamp may slip, making the check invalid.
· Check the position of the hook point relative to the needle.

Loop lift and needle height both set correctly Page 32

· Check the distance between the needle and the hook point. The hook point should lightly touch (brush) the needle inside
the needle scarf. Too much needle distance or improper loop lift settings may cause shredding and skipped stitches. Too little distance will cause the needle to bend during sewing and cause
other issues.

NOTE: This is explained in more detail on page 35.)

Regalia Service Manual

Section 13: Adjustment of the Loop Lift and Needle

Distance

 IMPORTANT: The timing and needle distance adjustment must be done with the front

machine cover on.

If correction of loop lift or needle distance is necessary, then the basket must first be rotated down:

Stop-finger engaged with bobbin case installed

Rotating basket down: NOTE: With the bobbin case basket in the normal position, the basket needle guard may deflect the needle, making it difficult to accurately adjust the needle distance between the hook point and the back of the needle scarf. It is important that the basket needle guard be rotated down, out of the way, to allow correct adjustment of the needle distance setting.

Stop-finger engaged without bobbin case Basket rotated 180 degrees down, facilitating needle distance adjustment

Rotate the basket out of the way to facilitate the needle distance adjustment.
 IMPORTANT: After moving the stop-finger, you need to hold the basket in place when turning the hand wheel, to prevent the needle from hitting the basket.
· Loosen the stop-finger screw with the 2.5 mm handle Allen tool.
· Slide the stop-finger out of the basket groove, until the basket can be rotated. NOTE: You may need to remove the stopfinger. In this case, don’t worry about reinstalling it until after you are finished with the timing adjustments
· Snug the stop-finger screw. · Rotate the basket 180 degrees until large cutout is
up towards needle. You will now need to hold the basket in that position. (See important NOTE above.) · Adjust needle distance (and loop lift) as directed in the next section (beginning on page 34).

BabyLock.com

Page 33

Section 13: Adjustment of the Loop Lift and Needle Distance (Continued)

NOTE: If the needle bar has been removed or changed, the needle bar height will need to be at least roughly set first, or it will not be possible to set needle distance correctly, because the hook point will not align with the needle scarf.
If a correction is needed: · If still in place from the check, remove the clamp.

Loop lift and needle height both set correctly

· The basket must be rotated down in order to make setting the needle distance possible.
See previous page for information and pictures on rotating the basket down.

NOTE: Once the basket has been turned down it must be held while turning the hand wheel to prevent it from turning and colliding with the needle.

Needle guard

NOTE: When the hook screws have been loosened, the adjustments of the loop lift and needle distance are possible since the hook can be moved radially as well as axially.

Hook screws

NOTE: Some hooks are tighter than others on the hook-shaft. You may be tempted to pry on the hook mechanism. If you pry on the hook it may become damaged, irreparable and unusable.

· Loosen the two screws on the hook base. 2 mm handle Allen. Replace the clamp and reset with the 2.2 mm feeler gauge as described on page 32, making sure to turn the hand wheel in the direction of motion.

· Set the hook to the correct position by sliding the hook axially (needle distance) on its shaft, as well as radially (loop lift), setting the hook point relative to the needle, as described on the next page. Radial position of loop lift.

Page 34

Regalia Service Manual

Section 13: Adjustment of the Loop Lift and Needle Distance (Continued)

· Adjust the needle distance by sliding the hook axially on the hook shaft toward the needle until the hook barely touches (lightly brushes) inside the needle scarf.

Thread cutters
Hook Screw Hook screws without front cover

NOTE: Because the fabric can displace the needle during multi-directional sewing, it is necessary for the needle to lightly brush the hook inside the needle scarf. Too much needle distance may cause skipped stitches and other stitching problems. If the hook brushes heavily against the hook, it can wear the needle guard on the hook basket.
· Check that the needle distance is correct by tapping on the needle with a small tool, e.g. the 2 mm ball hex tool, to see if the needle moves. If it is touching it will make a hard metal on metal sound. If the needle is lightly touching then it will move when the needle bar is pressed lightly on the back side towards the front of the machine. If you have to push hard to get the needle to deflect then the needle is brushing hard against the hook. The needle should only lightly brush against the hook to prevent undesirable hook wear.
· Lightly tighten the first screw with the 2 mm ball end L Allen tool, while providing resistance against the adjustment, by holding the hook in place with your other hand. Carefully rotate the hook on the hook-shaft to set the loop lift. Carefully snug and then tighten the first screw.

· Remove the clamp. · While holding the basket in the down position
and from turning, rotate the hand wheel until the second hook screw is accessible. Carefully snug, then tighten the second screw. If you push on the tool while tightening, the hook may move, throwing the settings off.

· Tighten both screws tight with the 2 mm handle Allen tool.
· Reset the loop lift clamp and gauge again to check that loop lift and needle distance are still correct.

 IMPORTANT: If loop lift, needle distance and needle height are not adjusted accurately, the machine may skip stitches, shred thread or not sew.

Section 14: Adjusting the Needle Height
Tools required: (#3 Flat screwdriver) NOTE: This adjustment must be completed with the front frame cover on. Important

1mm

NOTE: Shown with cover off for illustration purposes only!
 IMPORTANT: Needle bar height must be set first with a gauge before the hook is installed or visually checked with the hook installed and timed correctly first. The most common check is the visual check because the hook does not have to be removed. Needle bar height cannot be checked visually unless timing has first been set correctly.
Check: The needle height must be set so that when viewed from behind as shown, and with the hook point flush with the right side of the needle, the bottom of the hook point should be 1.0 mm above the top of the needle eye.

Hold Needle Bar

If a correction is necessary:
· Remove the nose cover screw. · Lower the needle bar to its lowest position to
access the needle bar driver screw. · Insert a screwdriver through the access hole · Hold the needle bar with your other hand to
provide resistance against the adjustment, so the needle bar will not fall down, out of the driver. · While holding the needle bar with one hand, loosen the screw slightly so that the needle bar can be wiggled up or down to the correct position.

Section 14: Adjusting the Needle Height (Continued)
· Ensure that the needle-bar thread guide hole is straight towards the front of the machine.
· If correction is necessary, slightly loosen the needle bar driver screw while holding the needle bar with the other hand. Rotate radially until the hole is at front and re-tighten the driver screw firmly.

Thread guide hole to front

NOTE: The position of the needle clamp screw is not straight out to the side of the machine, but is angled toward the back of the machine. This is to prevent the needle clamp screw from inadvertently catching the thread from the take-up lever above it.
NOTE: Under NO circumstance should the needle bar clamp screw be completely loosened. Failure to observe this caution can result in the uncoupling of the needle bar from the needle bar driver. If this happens, do not run the machine. Remove the front frame cover, reassemble the needle bar to the needle bar driver and readjust.

Section 15: Adjustment of the Stop-Finger

Machined edge Screw A
0.8 mm to 1.0 mm

Tools required: (2.5 mm handle Allen) Check: The engagement of the stop-finger and throat of the bobbin case support basket must have a clearance of 0.8 mm to 1.0 mm. This clearance ensures that adequate space exists for thread escapement during the sewing process.
NOTE: If set with too much needle clearance, the basket will be noisy and can also more easily slip out of adjustment. If set too tight, the thread will get stuck around the stopfinger and may jam the machine and damage the hook.
If an adjustment is necessary: · Loosen screw A and adjust the stop-finger so the
proper clearance is achieved.
 IMPORTANT: Ensure that the stop-finger stays up tight against the machined edge at the left of the stop-finger as shown in the first image on this page.
NOTE: This view is from the under side looking up, not from the top side looking down.
· The machined edge helps support the stop-finger from twisting to the side, so that the basket will not spin out of position, be hit by the needle or damaged.
· Tighten screw A firmly.

Section 16: Adjusting the Needle Height with Cylinder Height Gauge QM40131
Tools required: Flat screwdriver, #3 x 150 mm in length, needle-height cylinder tool. The Cylinder Height Gauge is used to set needle bar height first, before the hook has been installed during production of the machine or when the hook or needle bar have been removed for some reason during servicing of the machine.
NOTE: If loop lift is out of adjustment then needle bar height will also appear to be out of adjustment when checked by eye.
NOTE: The hook must be removed to use the needle height with the cylinder height gauge so loop lift and needle distance will then need to be reset.
NOTE: The Needle Height Cylinder Tool (part number QM40131 REV.C) fits all Baby lock machines to date (January 2018).
This adjustment can be completed with the front frame cover on or off. Check: When the machine timing is correct the needle height should look like the first picture on this page when the hook point reaches the far edge of the needle. If not, you may wish to set needle bar height with the cylinder height gauge.
· Remove the needle plate, stop finger, and hook assembly.
· Turn the handwheel to bring the needle to its highest position.
· Slide the cylinder height gauge onto the hook shaft with the flat up. You may have to tap it onto the shaft a few times to get the air out of the gauge.

Section 17: Electronic Information – System Power
The Regalia operates at voltage levels between 100 and 240VAC, 50-60 Hz. This means it can be run in most countries as long as the appropriate power cord or adapter plug is used. If an adapter plug is used, please be sure the adapter connects the Earth Ground as well as the Line and Neutral prongs of the plug. An improper or nonexistent earth ground connection will lead to sporadic and potentially dangerous operating conditions. An auxiliary AC power outlet is available directly above the main power inlet on the machine. This outlet will supply 1 Amp of current at the supplied AC voltage. Outlet Power is 120 watts maximum.
 IMPORTANT: The Regaliapower supply has a remote on/off power control located at the front of the machine on the left side of the nose cover. The machine will have no power if the front nose cover and its connections are removed. Both the rear and front power switches must be on for the machine to power on.

BabyLock.com

Fuse
The machine uses a replaceable (QM20059) 4.0 A slow blow fuse, 5 mm x 20 mm, (250V) located in the fuse holder at the back of the machine between the power cord input and the on/off switch.

Symptoms of a Blown Fuse
With power connected to the machine and with both the rear power switch and front power switch turned on, there will be no power to the machine or the machine auxiliary power if the fuse is blown.

Regalia Service Manual

Section 17: Electronic Information – System Power (Continued)
Power Supply
The Regalia machine uses a 500 watt 48VDC output power supply, mounted inside the machine on the drive train assembly. The power supply has two 48VDC outputs, one for the control board and one for the motor driver board. These two boards are also mounted to the drive train assembly.
At the top of the power supply there is a connection for the remote power switch located at the front left of the machine (see top right – small white connector with black and red wires). The other end of this remote power switch is on the bottom left on the control board at J5 (circled in white).
If the power supply has failed, there will be no power at all to the machine (no handlebar screens, no lights, etc.). However, it is more likely that the fuse has blown, if there is no power to the machine than that the power supply has failed. Refer to page 41 for fuse information.
Symptoms of a Failed Power Supply
If the power supply totally fails there will be no power to any system in the machine. If the power supply fails to provide 48VDC then the machine will not run because it requires 48VDC to operate.
NOTE: It is also possible that power that is converted by the control board to 5V and 3.3V for other systems in the machine could fail, rendering those systems inoperative. In this case the control board would need to be replaced.

Section 17: Electronic Information – Needle Position Sensor
The main shaft needle position sensor disc mounts to the main shaft near the hand wheel. It is composed of an aluminium disk with a cutout for needle up and needle down positions. This disk is set on a flat on the Amara/Forte machines; however it does not follow the first screw in direction of motion rule. The second screw is the one set on the flat. The sensor board is mounted directly to the top of the control board. With the take-up lever in its highest position, the first screw is at the front and the edge of the cutout is aligned with the sensor. The 2nd screw is on the flat.
The disk is centered front to back in the sensor slot.

Page 44

The take-up lever is up at this time. There is a forked circuit board containing an emitter and a receiver for the encoder region. With the front cover removed, the cables connected and the machine powered on, the green “NEEDLE” LED on the right of the control board can be seen. It will turn on when the take-up lever is at its highest position, and stay on until the needle is at its lowest position. The LED is off until the take-up lever once again reaches its highest position and then turns on again. The main shaft encoder board (# QM20052) does not have any LEDs on the board.

Section 17: Electronic Information – Control Board LEDs
Near the top of the Control Board are two green LEDs (D10, D11). The control board receives an input of +48V at J6 (circled) from the power supply and it converts this voltage into two different voltage levels. The left LED, D10, indicates that the 5V power is functioning for the front and rear displays (as well as other circuitry). The right LED, D11, indicates that the 3.3V power is functioning for the Control Board main processor (as well as other circuitry).
 IMPORTANT: The machine should be turned off when wiring is being unplugged or plugged back in during all testing.
 IMPORTANT: Proper ESD (electrostatic discharge) precautions should be observed to prevent any latent or catastrophic damage to the electronic circuitry of the machine.
If either of these LEDs is not on when both power switches are on and all cables are connected firmly: · Turn off the power switch
· Disconnect all cables from the control board other than the red and black power cable at the top (J6).
· Unplug the remote on/off wire on the power supply.

Page 48

81

Regalia Service Manual

Section 17: Electronic Information – Control Board LEDs (Continued)
· Replace the remote on/off wire with a QM20204 jumper on the power supply remote on/off switch connection. This will bypass the remote power switch and wiring. (Figure 17.20)
· Turn on the machine. If the LEDs are still not on, then there may be an issue with the power supply or the control board. If the LEDs both begin working again, this may indicate that one of the peripherals or its cabling is shorting out the control board.
· If a volt meter indicates that 48V is present at the Control Board power connector and the Control Board LEDs are off when everything is unplugged except for power at J6 and the QM20204 jumper on the power supply, then the Control Board should be replaced.
· If the LEDs come back on with everything unplugged but the above two items; begin plugging the cables back in one at a time (powering off between the connection of each cable) until you find the cable or peripheral that is causing the issue.
The Control Board has four labelled LEDs down the right edge of the board. These can be seen by removing the handwheel ,without removing the machine front cover.
· D23, KEYPRS: Toggles on and off as the take-up spring passes the thread break sensor.
· D22, OVRSPD: Used by Engineering during testing / development.
· D21, NEEDLE: LED is on from when the take-up lever is at its highest position until the needle is at bottom dead center. LED is off from needle bottom dead center until the take-up lever is at its highest position.
· D20, HEARTBT: Indicates the main Control Board processor has power and is functioning when it is beating like a heartbeat.

Section 17: Electronic Information – Handlebar Communication LEDs

Located near the bottom of the control board are two connections, one for the front handlebar display communications and one to the rear connection panel for the rear handle bar display communications.

The two small LEDs (D36 and D37) above the front handlebar connection on the left will flash every few seconds to indicate whether send/receive communication is occurring between the front handlebar display and the Control Board. (Circled in picture on the left). The two small LEDs (D38, D39) above the connection to the rear panel on the right for the rear handlebar connection, function the same as the front.

Troubleshooting Communication Issues
Handlebar display power, display information and communications is provided by the mini USB connection at the bottom of the display. If a handlebar communication cable is disconnected, has a bad connection or is damaged, the display may still boot up past the splash screen. However, the touch screen will not update or change anything when touched. The handlebar switches are connected with the big white connectors with many white and yellow wires at the Control Board. Handlebar functions may work when the buttons are pushed on the handlebar, but the displays will not update without communications. These big connectors also enable power to be sent to the displays, so, if they are damaged you may not have any display or switch control.

Page 50

Possible Solutions:
· Try re-booting the machine to see if the problem is corrected.

· If not, inspect the communications cable that connects to the front board. (circled, bottom)

· Check the cable connection at the front board at both the front board inside the nose cover, and at the display. (circled, top)

· If necessary open the machine front cover and check the front and rear communication cable connections on the Control Board.

Section 17: Electronic Information – Quick-Set Tension Calibration / Setting Zero
 IMPORTANT: When the top tension is installed into the machine, it is calibrated to set the zero tension position. This does not need to be done again unless the tension is replaced or re-calibrated incorrectly.
Calibrating the tension is setting or resetting the zero tension setting- position of the tension; therefore, it is recommended that this only be done when the top tension assembly has been replaced or when it has been calibrated incorrectly by someone.
 IMPORTANT: Because the zero setting will be reset, when the calibration button is pressed, it is very probable that any customer recorded tension and thread settings will also change.
The customer may be tempted to recalibrate tensions thinking that it will fix tension issues. Calibrating the tensions when not needed, or incorrectly will more likely cause more, not less tension issues. Recorded information on tensions and threads may also be lost or rendered useless.
Share this information with customers so they will be aware of the consequences of calibrating the top tension when not needed. Let them know if you have reset calibration and that their recorded tension info may have changed.
· Select Tools on the Regalia main screen. · Select the tension calibration box at the bottom of the screen. · Loosen the top tension knob until the spring is no longer touching the top tension disc. · Push the spring until it just touches the tension discs. · Touch the center tension calibration button to calibrate. · Replace the top tension knob. · Reset the top tension and sew test for proper tension balance.

Regalia Service Manual

Section 17: Electronic Information – Thread Break Sensor

 IMPORTANT: The thread break sensor will not function properly if the tensions are set too loose. The tensions must be tight enough to move the take-up spring past the sensor in order to toggle the sensor on and off. When the thread breaks, the take-up spring stops going past the sensor and activates the alarm.
 IMPORTANT: The thread break sensor housing is very delicate and can be crushed by the set screw and shorted internally if tightened too much. A special nylon tip screw is used to help, however, it is critical that the screw be just tight enough to hold the sensor’s position.

BabyLock.com

If the Thread Break Sensor is not functioning properly, check the following:

· The thread break sensor has a built-in LED in the back of its barrel.

· Remove the front nose cover screw (3 mm hex tool)

· With the cables still connected, push the cover and wires aside at the hole where the wires enter the machine. The LED could be always on or always off.

· Thread the machine through the top tension, the take-up spring, under the stirrup and through the take-up lever.

· Pull the thread down at the take-up lever and watch the sensor to see if it activates on when the wire is near the sensor and off when it is not, while looking through the hole in the front of the machine.

· If the LED does not go on and off, loosen the special set screw slightly and try again.

· If the LED still does not go on and off, loosen the screw and adjust the sensor in or out until it toggles on and off.

· If it still does not go on and off, replace the sensor.

· If the LED activates in the front, but there is still an issue, remove the handle wheel (see page 45).

· If the front LED goes on and off at the sensor but

does not toggle at the KEYPRS LED, D22, on the

Control Board,(see page 52), then the issue may be

with the Control Board.

Quick Reference Card

Needle and Thread Information
Use the correct needle system (134). Choose from sizes 12 through 21, according to the type of thread used. A guide to help you choose the correct combination of needle and threads is always available on the Regalia. From the Home screen, tap the System Information button and choose the Needle and Thread Guide button.

To Thread the Regalia

2. Continue to three-hole thread guide (4). Wrap all three holes from back to front, being careful not to cross threads. If delicate threads are breaking, skip one or two holes to lessen tension.

3. Pass through thread guide (5) and continue down to tension assembly (6). Ensure that the thread is flossed between the two tension discs.
4. Catch the take-up spring (7) with thread and pull it down under the stirrup thread guide (8).
