the table.
2. Place the foot pedal under the table at the front, under the machine, for easy
operation.
Installing the Thread Mast
1. Locate the two small M4x10mm hex button head screws and the thread mast
assembly.
2. Align the screws in the thread mast
bracket with the two holes in the
side of the machine (top tension
side). Use a 2.5mm hex tool to
tighten the bracket firmly to the
side of the machine.

and signal connection from the
machine to the display.
NOTE: The USB connection on
the right of the display is used
for updating the display and
the machine software.
ÂIMPORTANT: Note the other
connections on the bottom of
the display for power and audio
are not functional. Also, the
SD card slot on the left of the
display is not used at this time.

Using Your Machine
Power Switch
There are two power switches on the Regalia ST. The main power switch is at the rear
of the machine, and the secondary switch is at the front of the machine for added
convenience.
The machine is turned on when both switches are turned on. The machine is turned
o when both switches are o. However, you may turn o the machine functions by
turning o only the front switch if you will be returning to quilting within a day.
Turn on the back switch first by toggling the switch from the "○" position to the "|"
position. Then press the front power button. The front power button will not turn on the
machine unless the back switch is on.
ÂIMPORTANT: If you will not be using the machine for more than a day, we
recommend that both switches are turned o and the power cord is unplugged
from the power source.
ÂIMPORTANT: Refer to the safety instructions.
Lighting
The Regalia ST is equipped with several lights for better visibility when quilting. There
are two lights under the throat of the machine providing light to the quilting area and
a light ring that illuminates the needle and stitching area. There is also a bobbin area
light. For additional lighting, consider a task light.
Turning the lights on and o is controlled through the touchscreen display. For more
information about turning on the machine lights, see "To control the lights on the
machine" in the Toolbar Options section of this manual.

Regalia Stationary User Manual | 19
Machine Needle
Use only the recommended needle system for your Regalia ST quilting machine. The
machine was timed to use this specific type of needle (System 134) and it is designed
to work with the high quilting speeds and multi-directional stitching the Regalia oers.
The Regalia ST uses the 134 needle system. This needle
type has a round shank rather than a shank with a flat
side like home sewing machines use.
Using the recommended needle type, you will
experience
• Fewer skipped stitches
• Less needle breakage
• Less thread breakage, especially at high speeds
• Less thread splicing or shredding
• Optimum fabric protection
ÂIMPORTANT: Change the needle regularly. Baby Lock recommends using a new
needle for each new quilt and any time the needle becomes bent, dull, or burred.
UCAUTION: A damaged needle may result in poor stitching quality and/or may
even damage the machine or your quilt.
To change the needle
1. Move the needle bar to the up position by pressing the needle up/down control
on the touchscreen.
2. Turn o all power to the machine.
3. Loosen the needle bar clamp
screw with the 2.5mm hex
wrench. Needle bar
clamp screw
Sight hole

20 | www.BabyLock.com
4. Remove the old needle by pulling it down. Safely discard the old needle.
5. With the scarf of the needle
(indentation at the back of the
needle just above the needle eye)
facing the rear of the machine
and the long groove down the
front of the needle facing the
front of the machine, push the
needle all the way up into the
needle bar until it stops. Check
the sight hole in the needle
clamp to verify that the top of
the needle can go no farther up.
UCAUTION: Check the needle to confirm it is fully inserted. The needle bar has
a sight opening above the needle bar clamp screw. Make sure the needle is
touching the top of the sight opening. If it isn’t, the machine timing will be o
and it may be possible for the needle to collide with internal parts, causing
damage not covered by warranty.
6. Carefully tighten the needle bar clamp screw.
UCAUTION: Although you can use your fingers to tighten the needle bar clamp
screw, we recommend that after finger-tightening the screw, use the 2.5mm hex
wrench to tighten it a bit more. The Regalia ST runs at very high speeds and this
ensures the needle will not loosen while quilting. However, do not over tighten
the needle clamp screw, as this may strip the threads of the screw. Stripped
threads are not covered under the warranty. It may also become dicult to
insert the needle properly into the needle bar. Once the screw no longer turns
freely by hand, gently turn the screwdriver until the screw is tightened snuggly.
