When combined, these components enable you to maximize the performance of your new Baby Lock.
4/3/2 Thread Serging
Finish garments using 4-thread seaming, 3-thread narrow or wide overlocking, narrow rolled hem, flatlock, and blind hemming. With so many stitches to choose from, your Vibrant can finish any garment or home decor item. It even has an easy rolled hem conversion. Simply remove the stitch finger, located on the needle plate, to convert your Vibrant serger into a rolled hem machine.
Onboard Storage
Conveniently located on the front cover of the Vibrant serger is a screwdriver, lint brush, needle set, stitch finger (B), and a two-thread converter. Other accessories are located in the included storage bag.
Easy Threading
Lay-in style thread tensions make it easy to thread the upper portion of the Vibrant, while a color-coded threading chart takes you step-by-step through the process of threading the lower half of the serger.
Differential Feed
Add elegant ruffles/gathers to dresses, skirts, tablecloths, and more using the Vibrant's differential feed dial, which adjusts from 0.7 - 2.0.
Stitch Capabilities
Scrap Catcher
Slide the lint tray in place at the front of the machine. As you sew, the scraps will be trimmed directly into the lint tray for easy disposal.
Thread Trimmer
Located at the back of the needle plate is a convenient thread trimmer that is triggered by a push lever. After sewing, raise the blade using the push lever, place the thread tail below the raised blade, then release the lever to easily trim threads.
Snap-on Presser Feet
Don't worry about having to hunt down a screwdriver whenever you need to change presser feet! The Baby Lock Vibrant comes equipped with a snap-on presser foot shank. Simply press the button on the back of the shank, and your current foot detaches instantly. Your new presser foot easily snaps back onto the shank so you can keep serging!

FAQ
Got a question? We're here for you!
How do I create a gathered edge with the Vibrant?
To use your serger for gathering, set your differential feed to 2 (which pushes more fabric under the needle) and lengthen your stitch to 4. You can also purchase the optional gathering or ruffling foot
Can the Vibrant handle thick fabrics like fleece or heavy knits?
Yes, it performs well with thick fleece and knit hems. However, for extremely heavy or multi-layered woven fabrics, you should go slow and help feed the bulk under the presser foot to prevent jamming.
How do I thread the upper looper?
The instruction manual and quick-start guides may occasionally cause confusion on thread guides. Always follow the color-coded diagram printed inside the front door of the machine, as this is the most reliable path.
