What do you need help with?
How do I wind and load the bobbin?
Before you use this answer
Follow the complete illustrated winding, thread-tail and loading instructions. A counter-clockwise loading path does not establish bobbin class, dimensions, material or substitute compatibility.
Documents and page references →Which way does the needle face, and which sizes work with the threader?
Before you use this answer
Switch off for needle replacement and never operate the threader while sewing. The listed 11, 14 and 16 limits belong to the threader; a formal machine-wide needle system or complete size range is not established here.
Documents and page references →How do I change the foot or remove its holder?
Before you use this answer
Switch off, raise the needle and foot, and follow the complete holder-screw instructions. Foot-to-holder attachment and holder-to-bar mounting are separate; neither approves an unlisted foot, holder or adapter.
Documents and page references →Which stitch restrictions apply to the overcasting and straight-stitch feet?
Before you use this answer
Keep the overcasting pattern numbers and minimum 5.0 mm setting with that foot. The straight-stitch, quilting and quarter-inch feet require a centre-position straight stitch and a handwheel clearance check; these limits are not the machine’s maximum width.
Documents and page references →Why do Start/Stop and the speed slider stop working with the pedal connected?
Before you use this answer
These are the BL67 manual’s controls with its supplied foot controller. Release the pedal to stop; do not transfer these rules to other models or assume an unlisted controller is compatible.
Documents and page references →What does routine hook-area cleaning involve?
Before you use this answer
Disconnect power and follow all plate, bobbin-case and spring reassembly illustrations. The drop of sewing-machine oil belongs only at the identified hook-race point; no electrical or further internal disassembly is covered.

Needle, bobbin & presser-foot details
Read the model-specific requirements with each answer before choosing parts.
Needle
Replacement orientation
- Exact BL67 procedure; the page does not establish a standardized or exclusive needle system.
Switch power off and raise the needle fully; insert a new needle with its flat side to the back, push it all the way up and tighten the clamp screw. Do not use bent or dull needles.
Sources and pages
System and fit
Not yet verified- Not yet verified: The reviewed pages do not establish an exclusive needle system or third-party product fit.
Bobbin
Winding operation
- Exact BL67 winding procedure, not a bobbin size or fit claim.
Raise the presser-foot lever, use the spool cap closest to the spool size, move the bobbin-winder shaft right until it clicks, then stop after several turns to trim the thread tail; winding stops when full.
Sources and pages
Bobbin insertion
- Exact BL67 insertion procedure only.
Insert the bobbin with thread unwinding counter-clockwise, draw it through notch A and along spring B into notch C without leaving A, leave about ten inches of thread, then replace the cover.
Sources and pages
Class and substitutes
Not yet verified- Not yet verified: The reviewed instruction pages do not establish bobbin class, dimensions, material or third-party interchangeability.
Own foot change
- Own-foot change only; no cross-model or third-party fit conclusion.
With power off, raise the needle and presser-foot lifter, press the release lever to remove the foot, align the replacement foot pin under the holder slot, then lower the lifter until it snaps in.
Sources and pages
Holder removal
- Separate holder procedure, not an adapter-compatibility claim.
For feet requiring holder removal, raise the lifter and loosen the presser-foot thumb screw; to reattach the holder, raise it and tighten the screw.
Sources and pages
Third party fit
Not yet verified- Not yet verified: The reviewed guide does not establish standardized shank geometry, adapters or third-party presser-foot fit.
Specifications & documented facts
Specifications apply to the named model and document edition. Read any setup, fabric or safety requirements with the answer.
Buttonhole
Setup
- For Baby Lock Audrey BL67 in its 38-page English manual. Other models and suffix versions may differ.
- Follow the full foot/base/lever illustrations; the length formula does not establish a maximum buttonhole size.
- Based on manufacturer documentation, without hands-on testing. Follow the complete safety instructions and illustrations. Replacement-product compatibility has not been confirmed.
The buttonhole foot must be positioned correctly and its lever lowered behind the foot’s raised finger. The manual says the machine will not start otherwise. Set the base using the button; if it does not fit, the described length is button diameter plus thickness.
Sources and pages
Finish
- For Baby Lock Audrey BL67 in its 38-page English manual. Other models and suffix versions may differ.
- Stop safely before cutting the opening, keep fingers away from the cutter and use the documented pin stopper. The special repeat instruction applies only to pattern 08 as described in this manual.
- Based on manufacturer documentation, without hands-on testing. Follow the complete safety instructions and illustrations. Replacement-product compatibility has not been confirmed.
The manual says it stops when complete. Cut threads and raise the foot to its highest position to restart the same buttonhole elsewhere. Buttonhole-leg density is adjusted with the stitch-length control.
Sources and pages
Corded
- For Baby Lock Audrey BL67 in its 38-page English manual. Other models and suffix versions may differ.
- Foot/task-specific instruction, not approval of arbitrary cord diameters or replacement feet.
- Based on manufacturer documentation, without hands-on testing. Follow the complete safety instructions and illustrations. Replacement-product compatibility has not been confirmed.
Hook filler cord, described as crochet thread or buttonhole twist, onto the rear spur; bring both ends forward in parallel under the guide, then sew so the zigzag covers the cord. Release and trim the cord afterward.
Sources and pages
Care
Cleaning oil
- For Baby Lock Audrey BL67 in its 38-page English manual. Other models and suffix versions may differ.
- Use the original arrow/assembly diagram. No oiling interval, extra points, internal service procedure or substitution of another model’s no-oil instruction is established.
- Based on manufacturer documentation, without hands-on testing. Follow the complete safety instructions and illustrations. Replacement-product compatibility has not been confirmed.
Disconnect power, raise the needle, remove the plate, bobbin and case, and brush the feed dogs and hook area. It directs a drop of sewing-machine oil at hook-race arrow A. Refit the case with its projection against the spring and replace the plate.

Controller
Operation
- For Baby Lock Audrey BL67 in its 38-page English manual. Other models and suffix versions may differ.
- Do not transfer another model’s slider-as-pedal-maximum behavior. The safety page separately names a U.S.-only controller model. Connect with power off.
- Based on manufacturer documentation, without hands-on testing. Follow the complete safety instructions and illustrations. Replacement-product compatibility has not been confirmed.
Start/Stop is deactivated, and the slide speed-control lever is not operable. The foot controller controls start, stop and speed: press farther for faster sewing and release to stop. Use only the controller supplied with this machine.
Sources and pages
Model
- For Baby Lock Audrey BL67 in its 38-page English manual. Other models and suffix versions may differ.

Controls
Slow
- For Baby Lock Audrey BL67 in its 38-page English manual. Other models and suffix versions may differ.
- Preserve the separate connected-controller restrictions. No numerical SPM range is established by this control description.
- Based on manufacturer documentation, without hands-on testing. Follow the complete safety instructions and illustrations. Replacement-product compatibility has not been confirmed.
Start/Stop toggles running and stopping; the first three stitches are slow. When using it, moving the slider right increases speed and left decreases it. Holding Low Speed makes sewing slow; the manual names Start/Stop or foot control to return to regular speed.
Sources and pages
Reverse
- For Baby Lock Audrey BL67 in its 38-page English manual. Other models and suffix versions may differ.
- Pattern-specific behavior; do not confuse the general reverse-seam instruction’s 4–5 stitches with the programmed tie-off count.
- Based on manufacturer documentation, without hands-on testing. Follow the complete safety instructions and illustrations. Replacement-product compatibility has not been confirmed.
For stitches 1, 2 and 6, Reverse sews backward while held and returns forward when released. For other stitches it makes three or four tie-off stitches, then stops. The separate Reinforcement button, pressed after stopping, makes four tie-off stitches.
Sources and pages
Needle position
- For Baby Lock Audrey BL67 in its 38-page English manual. Other models and suffix versions may differ.
- This is powered needle movement, not an automatic foot-lifting or embroidery function. Keep hands clear.
- Based on manufacturer documentation, without hands-on testing. Follow the complete safety instructions and illustrations. Replacement-product compatibility has not been confirmed.
With the foot down, it raises or lowers the needle. With the foot up, the manual says pressing it makes one complete stitch.
Sources and pages
Ready
- For Baby Lock Audrey BL67 in its 38-page English manual. Other models and suffix versions may differ.
- The light is a readiness indicator for this model, not a universal fault code. Consult the selected stitch’s instructions when another step is needed.
- Based on manufacturer documentation, without hands-on testing. Follow the complete safety instructions and illustrations. Replacement-product compatibility has not been confirmed.
Green indicates ready to sew. Red means another step is needed before sewing; consult the selected stitch’s instructions.
Sources and pages
Jam stop
- For Baby Lock Audrey BL67 in its 38-page English manual. Other models and suffix versions may differ.
- Disconnect power for cleaning or access as required. A beep description is not a diagnosis of every stop, nor permission to force a jammed mechanism.
- Based on manufacturer documentation, without hands-on testing. Follow the complete safety instructions and illustrations. Replacement-product compatibility has not been confirmed.
The electronic safety feature stops a jammed machine with three beeps. The cause must be removed before using the controller to resume.
Sources and pages
LED settings
- For Baby Lock Audrey BL67 in its 38-page English manual. Other models and suffix versions may differ.
- LED count alone is not a direct millimetre value or machine-wide maximum. Chart rounding/defaults must remain visible.
- Based on manufacturer documentation, without hands-on testing. Follow the complete safety instructions and illustrations. Replacement-product compatibility has not been confirmed.
More LEDs generally indicate a longer or wider setting; the controls cycle through their displayed levels. Some stitches use a blinking LED for an intermediate setting. The per-pattern conversion chart gives millimetres.

Poweron stitch
- For Baby Lock Audrey BL67 in its 38-page English manual. Other models and suffix versions may differ.
- No claim that custom length/width or tension settings persist after power-off.
- Based on manufacturer documentation, without hands-on testing. Follow the complete safety instructions and illustrations. Replacement-product compatibility has not been confirmed.
The manual says stitch 01 is selected automatically for straight stitching.
Sources and pages
Electrical
Connection
- For Baby Lock Audrey BL67 in its 38-page English manual. Other models and suffix versions may differ.
- Connector shape does not establish a replacement cord, transformer, voltage/current/wattage/frequency rating or worldwide electrical compatibility.
- Based on manufacturer documentation, without hands-on testing. Follow the complete safety instructions and illustrations. Replacement-product compatibility has not been confirmed.
Use the documented two-hole cord connection with the machine on a stable table. The polarized plug is intended to fit one way; if reversing it still does not fit, consult a qualified electrician. Never modify the plug. Unplug after use and before maintenance.
Sources and pages
Fabric
Thick seams
- For Baby Lock Audrey BL67 in its 38-page English manual. Other models and suffix versions may differ.
- No numerical maximum fabric thickness or foot-lift height is stated here. Do not assume a thickness limit from another machine.
- Based on manufacturer documentation, without hands-on testing. Follow the complete safety instructions and illustrations. Replacement-product compatibility has not been confirmed.
If the front of the foot tilts upward and sewing hesitates at a thick point, put same-thickness cardboard or fabric under its heel. The foot lever can lift one step higher for insertion; guide the fabric carefully.

Feed & fabric control
Restore
- For Baby Lock Audrey BL67 in its 38-page English manual. Other models and suffix versions may differ.
- Use the complete illustrated sequence: move the lever forward and left, then turn the handwheel forward one full turn to restore normal feeding. The lever movement alone is not the complete sequence.
- Based on manufacturer documentation, without hands-on testing. Follow the complete safety instructions and illustrations. Replacement-product compatibility has not been confirmed.
Use the lever under the free arm: move it forward and left to raise the feed dogs, then turn the handwheel forward one full turn to return them to sewing position.
Sources and pages
Foot
Overcasting
- For Baby Lock Audrey BL67 in its 38-page English manual. Other models and suffix versions may differ.
- This task-specific minimum does not establish a global maximum width, standardized shank or third-party-foot fit.
- Based on manufacturer documentation, without hands-on testing. Follow the complete safety instructions and illustrations. Replacement-product compatibility has not been confirmed.
The manual restricts that foot to patterns 06, 18, 19 and 37, and warns not to narrow width below 5.0 mm because the needle can hit the foot. Other edge-finishing patterns may use the general-purpose foot instead.
Sources and pages
Blind hem
- For Baby Lock Audrey BL67 in its 38-page English manual. Other models and suffix versions may differ.
- Use the exact folded-hem diagram and appropriate blind-hem stitch; not a universal foot adjustment.
- Based on manufacturer documentation, without hands-on testing. Follow the complete safety instructions and illustrations. Replacement-product compatibility has not been confirmed.
Turn its adjustment screw to position the guide just against the folded edge. Straight stitches run on the extended hem edge while zigzag catches a single thread of the fold.
Sources and pages
Straight quarter
- For Baby Lock Audrey BL67 in its 38-page English manual. Other models and suffix versions may differ.
- This restriction is separate from the later hand-look stitch 03 note; do not automatically combine that note with a small-hole foot or shifted needle. No universal accessory fit.
- Based on manufacturer documentation, without hands-on testing. Follow the complete safety instructions and illustrations. Replacement-product compatibility has not been confirmed.
The manual requires a center-position straight stitch and hand-turning to verify needle clearance. It says straight stitch is the only stitch for the straight-stitch, quilting or quarter-inch foot because of the small opening.
Sources and pages
Zipper
- For Baby Lock Audrey BL67 in its 38-page English manual. Other models and suffix versions may differ.
- Change feet with power off and check clearance. This is foot attachment/positioning, not an automatic side-to-side needle capability or generic foot fit.
- Based on manufacturer documentation, without hands-on testing. Follow the complete safety instructions and illustrations. Replacement-product compatibility has not been confirmed.
For sewing close to the zip’s right side, attach the foot to the holder’s left side so the needle passes through the foot’s left opening. Attach at the other side to sew the zip’s left side.
Sources and pages
Decorative
- For Baby Lock Audrey BL67 in its 38-page English manual. Other models and suffix versions may differ.
- No global maximum from LED patterns and no proof of third-party open-toe compatibility.
- Based on manufacturer documentation, without hands-on testing. Follow the complete safety instructions and illustrations. Replacement-product compatibility has not been confirmed.
Use the open-toe foot: its underside indentation lets satin stitching pass and its open front improves visibility. Adjust length and width on test fabric, while noting some patterns do not permit both adjustments.
Sources and pages
Quilting
Darning
- For Baby Lock Audrey BL67 in its 38-page English manual. Other models and suffix versions may differ.
- Width-setting 3 is the source’s task control, not 3-mm zigzag width. Foot replacement requires power off. Free-hand movement is not automatic embroidery.
- Based on manufacturer documentation, without hands-on testing. Follow the complete safety instructions and illustrations. Replacement-product compatibility has not been confirmed.
For darning, select straight stitch 1 with width setting 3 and lower the feed dogs. Remove foot and holder, screw the darning foot to the bar with its extended arm above the needle-clamp screw, and sew slowly to moderately while moving hooped fabric steadily.
Sources and pages
Hand look
- For Baby Lock Audrey BL67 in its 38-page English manual. Other models and suffix versions may differ.
- Task-specific tension/effect only. The same page restricts small-hole feet to center straight stitch; do not infer permission to use stitch03 with any such foot.
- Based on manufacturer documentation, without hands-on testing. Follow the complete safety instructions and illustrations. Replacement-product compatibility has not been confirmed.
For stitch 03, the manual specifies monofilament upper thread, upper tension 7 and slow sewing so bobbin thread appears on top.

Sewing
Seam guides
- For Baby Lock Audrey BL67 in its 38-page English manual. Other models and suffix versions may differ.
- A left-shifted needle changes the relationship; these marks are not universal distances for every selected needle position.
- Based on manufacturer documentation, without hands-on testing. Follow the complete safety instructions and illustrations. Replacement-product compatibility has not been confirmed.
Each guide-line figure is the distance from that line to the center needle position. Align the fabric edge with the chosen guide for that seam allowance.

Tension
Adjustment
- For Baby Lock Audrey BL67 in its 38-page English manual. Other models and suffix versions may differ.
- No universal tension number or bobbin-case adjustment follows. Check correct threading first.
- Based on manufacturer documentation, without hands-on testing. Follow the complete safety instructions and illustrations. Replacement-product compatibility has not been confirmed.
Lower dial numbers loosen upper tension; higher numbers tighten it. Straight-stitch threads should interlock in the fabric’s middle. For zigzag, the manual recommends slightly weaker tension and allows a little upper thread visible underneath.
Sources and pages
Threader
Sizes
- For Baby Lock Audrey BL67 in its 38-page English manual. Other models and suffix versions may differ.
- The threader guidance names sizes 11, 14 and 16 only, rather than every size between 11 and 16. It does not identify a formal needle system or confirm compatibility with every thread.
- Based on manufacturer documentation, without hands-on testing. Follow the complete safety instructions and illustrations. Replacement-product compatibility has not been confirmed.
The manual lists only sizes 11, 14 and 16. Lower the foot, bring the needle up and follow the lever/hook sequence; never lower the threader while the machine runs.
Sources and pages
Threading
Bunching
- For Baby Lock Audrey BL67 in its 38-page English manual. Other models and suffix versions may differ.
- A documented possible cause, not a diagnosis of every underside loop or instruction to turn the bobbin-case screw.
- Based on manufacturer documentation, without hands-on testing. Follow the complete safety instructions and illustrations. Replacement-product compatibility has not been confirmed.
The manual’s helpful hint points to incorrect upper threading, especially in the tension area, and directs rethreading.
