Baby Lock Eclipse DX Overlocker + BONUS

The Baby Lock Eclipse DX – ble1dx-2 is a revolutionary overlocker that changed the sewing industry with the introduction of Jet Air Threading. Jet Air Threading allows you to thread in any sequence and to change anyone thread without re-threading other loopers or needles. The built-in needle threaders combined with the jet-air threading make threading the Eclipse an enjoyable experience. The Eclipse DX also features tubular loopers which eliminate thread tangling, thus minimizing the chance of threads breaking or irregular stitches. These features are just some of the many patented features exclusive to Baby Lock worldwide. The time taken to thread the Eclipse DX is dramatically reduced and it is so simple that a beginner can learn it in a matter of minutes.

Jet Air Threading™  

Overlockers are renowned for being difficult to thread. There are usually anywhere between 20 to 30 threading points which need to be threaded in a specific order, each time a thread breaks or a different colour is required. This process is complicated, troublesome and time-consuming and can result in many annoyances including twisted threads and constant thread breakage.

The Baby Lock Jet Air Threading systems eliminate these problems. With this exclusive system, threading can be completed in less than ONE minute. Imagine how much time you will save if you don’t have to worry about threading!

Simply insert the thread into the threading ports, select the looper to be threaded, press the lever and a jet of air shoots the threads through the looper, repeat this simple process for the remaining loopers. How easy is that?

The Jet Air threading system was released onto the world market in 1992 and remains unchanged today. The threading ports are connected to the end of the loopers by two or three tubes, depending on the model of machine. These tubes connect when the threading system is engaged. A ‘jet of air’ is created when the pump lever is pressed the threads are taken through the tubes with the air flow.

These tubes also provide a number of other benefits as well as easy and quick threading. These tubes prevent threads from tangling. The machine can be threaded in any order whereas other overlockers must be threaded in a particular order. The threads do not need to be placed neatly under the foot before sewing, they can be left as they are when the threading is complete, and the threads will not tangle. One looper thread can be changed on the machine and rethreaded without the need to unthread and then rethread the needles. It is quicker to thread the looper rather than tying the new thread onto the old one!

The tubes used to carry the thread in Jet Air Threading Threading systems cannot be blocked under normal sewing conditions. As the machine is stitching, the threads are travelling through the same threading tubes preventing a build-up of lint and fluff.

The only difference between Jet Air Threading and ExtraordinAir Threading is that the ExtraordinAir threading system is automatically activated allowing all loopers to be threaded instantly. For people who have difficulty using their hands, or are suffering the pain of arthritis etc, the ExtraordinAir system is easier and preferable.

Jet Air Threading allows you to:

1. Thread in any orderEnspire
2. Thread the entire machine in under one minute
3. Change any thread without re-threading the rest
4. Stop worrying about tangled threads!

Jet Air Threading is a patented feature exclusive to Baby Lock machines only
