Baby Lock Eclipse DX Installation guide

The Eclipse DX features these 10 serger patents:
Eclipse DX
Jet-Air Serger
Tubular Loopers
Baby Lock eliminates threading mistakes
and protects thread, with no exposed
thread and no thread guides to tangle
with. Enjoy tubular loopers that can be
threaded in any order, giving you more
freedom to serge than ever before!
Looper Drive System
Protect your machine from needing
repairs and serge worry free! This
exclusive Looper Drive System is built to
last, preventing loopers from becoming
misaligned or out of timing, reducing
the possibility of major looper damage.
Advanced Knife Driving &
One-Way Clutch System
Cut thicker fabrics with incredible ease
using the exclusive lower-mounted
knife system with a larger cutting bite.
Jet-Air Threading™
Threading a serger has never been
easier than with the revolutionary Jet-Air
Threading from Baby Lock. With just one
touch of a lever, thread is sent through
the tubular loopers. There are no thread
guides, no struggling, and there’s plenty
of extra time to serge away!
Needle Threading System
Baby Lock has put a lot of thought into
threading a serger, but they haven’t
forgotten about the most important part
— the needles. This system locks the
needle threader in place for quick and
easy threading at the touch of a lever.

A serger is the ideal machine to reinforce seams and give garments a
finished look and serging takes on a new meaning once you've used the
Eclipse DX. This easy-to-use serger includes Jet-Air Threading,™a patented
feature that threads your machine with the touch of a lever. You'll also enjoy
precise manual control to serge perfect stitches on any type of fabric with
the adjustable twin cam tension system. In fact, the Eclipse DX was built
to not only enhance your projects, but to last for years with incredibly low
maintenance.
For the love of sewing.

Micromatic "Twin Cam"
Tension System
The new cam micromatic tension
system eliminates thread tangles
and delivers proper tensions with
all threads on any fabric.
Full-Featured, Single Unit
Differential Feed
Discover stronger feeding as well
as more consistent gathering on
all fabrics. Baby Lock took the
differential feed mechanism to a new
level by adding a single unit feed
dog mechanism.
Dial Adjustable Stitch
Length and Automatic
Rolled Hem
Stitch length can effortlessly be
adjusted on a Baby Lock serger using
one dial without changing a foot or
needle plate. This dial includes an
Automatic Rolled Hem setting that
will retract the built-in stitch width
finger for a rolled hem.
Fabric Support System
Baby Lock’s Jet-Air sergers include
a Fabric Support System to keep
stitches flat and balanced, no matter
what speed, fabric or stitch you
choose. The built-in stitch fingers
actually move with the knife blade,
adjusting the seam simultaneously
with the cutting width.
Vertical Needle Penetration
Avoid needle deflection and protect
your fabric. While most machines
use slanted needles that push and
damage fabric, Baby Lock’s needles
are set vertically to powerfully sew by
moving directly up and down.
