About the Regalia

The Regalia utilizes high-tech electronics and an innovative touch-pad user interface to offer greater
functionality and ease of operation to home quilters than ever before conceived in the quilting industry. The
Regalia quilting machine is a high quality machine that incorporates very robust design features and is very
easy to service.

The Regalia machine is constructed following a specific sequence of operations, similar to the construction of a
house. Walls cannot be erected until the foundation is in place. Similarly, this service manual has been written
with an adjustment logic that is driven by the construction processes used to create the machine. If the service
technician carefully follows the adjustment steps in the order presented, a well running machine is possible
each and every time.

About the Manual and Support

The purpose of this service manual is to help the technician complete a repair on a machine accurately and
quickly. The manual is complete with photographs and explanations that we hope will aid you in your repair
efforts. In addition to the teaching aids found herein, you will also find all of the tools listed that are necessary
for adjustments. If you need help in locating these tools for purchase, please contact Baby lock.

Service Manual Guidelines

•A
 djustments shown in the manual should only be made if a setting deviates from the tolerance specified in
the manual.
• Adjustments should be made only in the logical sequence shown and described in the manual. Do not
jump ahead, or start in the middle of the adjustment sequence. This may cause additional or more serious
problems than the original issue.
• Safety must be considered when working on any machine. Safety warnings are included throughout this
manual where appropriate, but these warnings do not address all possible safety concerns that might
confront the service technician.
• When working on or near any live electrical components or assemblies, the power cable must be removed
from the machine.
• We urge you to observe the cautions in the manual.

 NOTE: The hand wheel must always be turned in the direction of normal rotation unless otherwise
instructed. This is especially true when making the loop-lift timing and needle-height
adjustment. Exceptions are removing thread locks or testing belt tension. The hand wheel
may be rocked forward and reverse in these cases.

Section 1: General Observation: Thread Mast and

Thread Guides
The following observations, accompanied by necessary
adjustments, will ensure trouble-free thread passage.
Failure at any of these points will significantly affect
thread tension.

Check:
1. The thread mast should be adjusted so that the
eyelet loops are centered directly over the spool
pins.

If a correction is necessary:
Loosen the jam nut on the thread mast, reposition
and tighten the jam nut. (10 mm open end wrench)

2. Check/Inspect: Test the condition of the thread

guides (1, 2, 3), thread stirrup (4), thread guide (5)
2 and needle bar thread guide (6) for any abrasions,
cuts, or electroplate blistering. Test each guide
1 by flossing it with thread, left to right and front
to back, in all directions, checking for any defects
that may damage or cut the thread. Replace any
3 damaged parts. (2 mm and 2.5 mm handle Allen)

3. C
 heck the top tension assembly for the following:
Check between the tension discs for any foreign
4 material that could prevent the discs from
functioning properly.

Section 1: General Observation: Quick Set Tension

Assembly - Replacing the Take-up Spring
1. Remove the following parts from the assembly:
knob, detent washer, cone spring with long tail,
spring base and two tension discs.

 NOTE: the detent washer is placed with the

detents away from the knob on the Quick Set
Tension assembly.

2. Loosen the set screw under the Quick Set

Tension assembly on the front cover casting and
pull the tension assembly out just far enough to
loosen the set screw on the barrel (step 4), so
the center split bolt can be removed from the
assembly.

ÂÂ IMPORTANT: Be careful not to pull the

assembly out too far so as to pull off the
wire tie internally, which protects the
tension assembly cable from interfering
with the take-up lever.

3. Loosen the set screw on the barrel, remove the

center split bolt.

4. Wiggle and push in on the tail of the spring until

the take-up spring pops out of the barrel.

Section 1: General Observation: Quick Set Tension

Assembly - Replacing the Take-up Spring (Continued)
5. Replace the damaged take-up spring with a new
take-up spring (QM10197). It is recommended to
have a few take-up springs in stock.

6. Replace the split bolt, adjust the take-up spring

strength, see Five Checks on the next page. With
the correct take-up spring strength, push the split
bolt all the way in to the barrel and tighten the
barrel set screw loosened in step 4.

7. Ensure that the top tension barrel is pushed into

the shoulder (Assembly is removed to allow view of
shoulder.)
Shoulder

8. Align the straight vertical part of the take-up spring

up at 12 o’clock when in its rest position.

9. Replace the parts removed in step 1.

Section 1: General Observation: Quick Set Tension

Assembly - Replacing the Take-up Spring (Continued)

Five Checks When Replacing the Take-up Spring:

1. With the take up spring inside the barrel, reinstall the center split bolt.

2. Rotate the center split bolt clockwise to make the spring stronger or counterclockwise to make the spring
weaker. To test: the spring should return all the way to the right end of the slot, regardless of how lightly it
is moved to the left. The spring should be just strong enough to always return clockwise to the end of the
slot.

ÂÂ IMPORTANT: The strength of the spring is critical. If it is too weak or too strong, it will not take the
thread up properly and this will cause stitching issues.

3. With the spring strength set properly, ensure the center split bolt is pushed firmly all the way into the
barrel and tighten the barrel set screw onto the center split bolt.

4. Make sure the top tension assembly is pushed all the way into the shoulder on the front cover.

5. Rotate the entire tension assembly to set the straight part of the take-up spring up toward 12 o’clock when
it is in its rest position, and then tighten the front cover set screw onto the tension assembly.

not have a flat, but on the Regalia machines
it does; however it is not for timing. The hook
shaft pulley first screw is fixed on another
hook shaft flat.

Important Hook-Shaft NOTEs

Hook-shaft Timing The hook-shaft turns two times per stitch and rotates
Pulley 1st screw in the opposite direction as the main shaft. Please
carefully NOTE which screw is the first screw in the
direction of motion and on the flat.

The hook-shaft pulley is set to a specific setting from

the end of the shaft to allow proper needle-to-hook
distance adjustment. Adjust the collar to remove ax-
ial play, not the hook-shaft pulley. The setting can be
thrown off, which may make needle-to-hook distance
adjustment impossible.

The Regalia utilizes long collars with two screws in line

to help prevent the collar from tipping when tight-
ened, causing variation of tightness or play, as the
collar rotates 360°. To ensure that there is no tight-
ness or play, the collar should be checked through a
full rotation until it has minimal tightness and
minimal play.

Section 4: Checking and Securing Flats and Screws

(Continued)
The Regalia has been designed using flats and special screws to help prevent loop lift timing from slipping,
except at the hook. If the hook cannot slip, then something would have to break when something goes wrong.
The hook is designed to be adjusted without removing the front cover.
First check the torque specifications chart on page 5,
then check the following locations, making sure that
the first screw of a timed component has been fixed
firmly on the respective flat on the shaft:

1. T he hook-shaft timing pulley

Pitman Crank 1st screw (2.5 mm handle hex).
2. The Pitman crank
(5 mm L hex tool)
3. The take-up lever driving link (
(3 mm handle hex tool )
4. The main shaft timing pulley
(2.5 mm handle hex tool)

 NOTE: The screws are generally positioned

120 degrees apart. When the first screw in
Take-up Lever Driving Link 1st screw Direction of Motion (DOM) (Position 1) has
been located and tightened on a flat, the
second screw is then tightened, compounding
the tightness of the first screw, thus securing
and assuring that timing will not change.

Pulley on flat critical both axially and rotationally.

 NOTE: It is important to check that the brass

counterweight tightening procedure did
not create a tight arm shaft condition. If so,
readjust the counterweight again until there is
Flat no tightness and minimal-to-no end-play. This
is checked by rotating the shaft and checking a
few times through a full 360° rotation of
the shaft.

Section 5: Axial Play Check and Adjustment

Axial or end play on shafting can result in noise, wear
and faulty sewing.
Check:
1. Check the main shaft by pushing and pulling on the
hand wheel.

 NOTE: A small amount of main shaft axial play

is permissible. Too much main shaft play may
cause noise and/or stitching issues.

If a correction is necessary:
• Remove the front cover.
• Loosen the counterweight screws
(3 mm handle Allen)
• Adjust so that minimal to no play is detected.
• Provisionally set the screws.
• Check that the shaft has minimal play and no
tightness, from the collar being too tight, by
rotating the shaft through a few 360o rotations.
• Check that the timing of the eccentric is still correct
Remove play here (see counterweight timing page 17).
Test left to right • Fully tighten the screws.
• Check shaft again for play or tightness.

2. Check the hook shaft by pushing and pulling

the hook.
If a correction is necessary:
• Remove the front cover.
• Remove the play by loosening the hook-shaft
thrust collar (not the hook-shaft timing pulley) and
adjusting out any axial play.
• Check for proper setting by rotating shaft through a
few 360o rotations.

Section 6: Adjusting the Base-Plates and Rollers

Tools required: (5 mm handle Allen)
Check:
The machine must not rock on a flat surface and
the wheels must be the same distance from each
other front to back on both sides of the machine.

 NOTE: This is done on a precision surface

plate at the factory during assembly.

m
If a correction is necessary:

• The rear base plate should be as straight to the

machine as possible. The three baseplate screws

.co
should be tight.

• The front cover baseplate should be as square

to the machine as possible. The two baseplate
screws should be tight on the back casting.
es
Check:
uid

Use a ruler or tape measure to check the distance from

the front to rear wheel. The distance should be the
same on both sides of the machine.

If a correction is necessary:
• Slightly loosen the two front base plate screws
-g

and adjust.
• Tighten the two screws firmly before proceeding to
the next step.
all

ÂÂ IMPORTANT: The two front baseplate screws

must be tightened before tightening the
leveling screw on the front cover casting.

 NOTE: If the front cover has been removed

to service the machine, the M10 adjustment
screw should be flush or recessed in the front
cover casting before the front cover is installed
onto the machine.

Section 6: Adjusting the Base - Plates and Rollers

(Continued)
Place the machine on a flat surface or the carriage
tracks. Use a 5 mm hex driver, down through the
casting hole, to lower the front right wheel until the
machine does not rock.

ÂÂ IMPORTANT: If the two front base plate

screws are not tight, or if the M10 screw is
extended out of the casting when the front
base plate is installed and tightened, then
backing of the screw to raise the front right
wheel, will make the front baseplate mounting
screws too loose. These three screws need to
be in tension against each other.

Section 7: Adjusting the Motor Drive/Timing Belt

Tension
The Regalia machine utilizes a single motor drive/timing belt system. The belt is a double-sided round-tooth belt.

Tools required: 5 mm handle hex tool and 13 mm open end wrench.

Check: With the machine front cover removed. Check

the belt tension for tautness by pressing it with your
index finger. Press the vertical center of the belt with
light pressure. The belt should deflect about ½”. Proper
belt tension provides for some belt flexibility under light
finger pressure, but should not be so tight as to bind
the machine.

Double-check the tension by rotating and rocking

the hand wheel. Confirm that there is no backlash
or play between the belt teeth and any of the driven
components. Confirm, also, that there is an Immediate
Transfer of Motion between the handwheel and
the hook.

ÂÂ IMPORTANT: Do not over-tighten the belt as this

will make the machine difficult to turn and may
cause other undesirable issues, including more
belt noise.

If a correction is necessary:
• Insert a 5 mm handle Allen tool into the fixing screw
in the center of the tensioner, and loosen it until you
can turn the outside of the tensioner with the 13 mm
open end wrench.

• Turn the tensioner with the 13 mm wrench clockwise

to tighten or slightly counter clockwise to loosen the
belt tension.

3. Tighten the center fixing screw with the 5 mm handle

hex tool firmly.

ÂÂ IMPORTANT: Do not tighten the belt by turning

the 13mm wrench counter clockwise as this
will pinch the belt in the small area between
the tensioner pulley and the motor pulley. Only
tighten the belt by turning the 13mm wrench
clockwise.

Section 8: Adjusting the Hopping Foot and Presser Bar

Height
Tools required: 8 mm open end wrench. Adjusting the Hopping Foot
The Regalia features the KinetiQuilt hopping
mechanism; allowing the hopping foot to move (hop)
up, down and dwell on the fabric when the needle is
in the fabric. This allows fabric to move through the
machine similar to a normal sewing machine with a
feed dog. The dwell time allows for a longer hesitation
of the hopping foot on the fabric and completion of the
stitch cycle. The results are better tension, less needle
breakage and increased hook life.

The initial setting of the presser bar height is 1.5”

from the bottom of the jam nut to the needle plate
surface with the needle and presser bar in their lowest
position. This helps set the proper internal spring
pressure on the presser bar along with the setting on
the presser bar guide block inside the machine. When
properly set, the spring tension will be sufficient to hold
the fabric properly during stitching and also keep the
presser bar from knocking at high speeds.

The customer may be tempted to change the foot

height at the jam nut to sew a thick quilt or one with
thick seam allowances. This can cause stitch and
noise issues.

Check: There should be about 7 (6 to 8) threads

showing below the jam nut on the quick change mount
adaptor. If this has been screwed way in or out it will
affect the spring tension on the presser bar.

If a correction is necessary:
• Hold the hopping foot firmly, loosen the jam nut with
an 8 mm open end wrench, and screw the foot until
it has 7 threads showing below the jam nut (5 mm
from jam nut to top of foot). Make sure the foot is
centered on the needle plate hole.

• Tighten the jam nut firmly while holding the foot

firmly, being careful not to scratch the foot or mount
adaptor.

 NOTE: This is the initial setting of the presser

bar, not the final setting.

Section 8: Adjusting the Hopping Foot and Presser Bar

Height (Continued)
Tools required: 3 mm handle Allen, 0. 5 mm feeler gauge QM40133.

Check: When the needle bar is in its lowest position,

the sewing foot should be no higher than 0.5 mm
above the needle plate. It is permissible for the
sewing foot ring to lightly touch the needle plate.

 NOTE: It is important to check how far the

foot or foot adapter is screwed into the
presser bar before resetting the presser bar
height internally at screw C. This is in case
the end user has changed the foot height
by screwing the foot in or out a number of
times. This will negatively affect the amount
of presser bar spring tension on the hopping
Screw “C” foot and consequently create stitching
access hole problems including skipped stitches. (It is not
recommended that the customer change
the hopping foot height, for this reason) See
previous page.

If a correction is necessary:
• Turn the hand wheel until the needle bar is at its
lowest position. This is the position where the
presser bar is also in its lowest position.

• Place the 0.5 mm feeler gauge (Part # QM40133)

under the hopping foot.

• Loosen screw C through the machine front cover

access hole (3 mm Allen driver).

• Wiggle the presser bar up or down to the desired

position. Tighten screw C firmly while pushing
down lightly on the tool blade towards the table.
This will ensure that the lifting link and hopping
block mechanism make appropriate contact inside
the machine for the hopping foot to work properly.
Screw
ÂÂ IMPORTANT: When screw C is loosened, the
“C” Lifting Link presser bar guide block and the lifting link can
move up off the hopping block mechanism.
In this case the hopping foot will not function
properly or be the correct height above the
needle plate.

5. Confirm the ring of the foot is centered on the

Shown with front cover off to see screw “C” and lifting link needle when the screw C is re-tightened.

Section 8: Adjusting the Hopping Foot and Presser Bar

Height (Continued)
Final Hopping Foot Check: When the machine is run
full speed without fabric under the hopping foot, with
the bottom of the hopping foot set at .5 mm above
the needle plate, the machine should not knock
loudly inside on the hopping block mechanism. If
the presser bar spring inside the presser bar is not
compressed enough it is possible for knocking to
occur at higher speeds.

m
 NOTE: If knocking occurs at high speeds
after adjusting the machine as per the
previous instructions, you need to add a little

.co
more pressure to the presser bar spring, as
described below.

If a correction is necessary:
• Turn the handwheel until the needle bar is at its
es
lowest position. This is the position where the
presser bar is also at its lowest position.
• Place the 0.5 mm feeler gauge (Part # QM40133)
under the hopping foot.
ÂÂ IMPORTANT: One of the main causes
uid

of skipped stitches besides timing is the • Loosen screw C through the machine front cover
hopping foot being set too high above access hole (3 mm Allen driver)
the needle plate. • While holding the tool in screw C, and pushing
down on the tool to maintain internal assembly
contact, push up on the presser bar and hopping
foot to be slightly above the .5 mm feeler gauge to
-g

tighten the presser bar spring. Firmly tighten screw

C. Repeat this process a couple of times until the
internal knocking is minimized or eliminated. The
foot will now be too high above the needle plate.
all

 NOTE: It may be helpful to add a business

card along with the gage to aid in raising the
hopping foot slightly more each time until the
spring has the correct tension.

• To make the final hopping foot height setting,

loosen the jam nut on the presser bar and rotate
the foot down to 0.5 mm or less above the needle
plate. Center the hopping foot ring over the needle
plate hole and firmly tighten the jam nut while
holding the foot firmly.

Section 9: Needle Position Y / Front to Back, Check,

& Adjustment
Tools required: (3 mm and 4 mm handle Allen).
The needle position adjustment is the most important
of all adjustments in the machine. Needle position
provides the foundation for which all other settings
are made.

Once the needle position has been completed, great

care must be maintained to keep this setting. It is
important that the sewing machine be transported
carefully, so as to not allow bumping or dropping.

Machine Front / Machine Back

Check: Use a new System 134/Size 100 needle. Check
the needle for straightness on a flat surface such as
the needle plate. Press down on the shank and roll
the needle watching for the tip to wobble. The tip will
not wobble if the needle is straight. The needle must
A B be centered in the stitch hole of the needle plate.
Check with needle eye flush with the needle plate, do
not check with needle in the lowest position.

Adjustment for Y axis (front to back): Cover Off

 NOTE: The Y (front to back) adjustment is

done with the front frame cover off.

If a correction is necessary:
• Loosen first screws D and G
• Then loosen screw A and B
G D
• While pushing the head frame back into the main
casting, gently slide the head frame left or right to
correct as necessary.
• Tighten screws A and B

Machine Front / Machine Back  NOTE: If needle position changes, repeat the
process. Do not tighten screw D or G at this
time. They will need to be loose to adjust the
X axis in the next step.

Section 10: Replacing Front Cover

Replace the front cover before adjusting the X axis
needle position.

ÂÂ IMPORTANT: Take special care to not pinch

any wiring when replacing the front cover.

• Plug the front cover wiring harness into the Main

Control board at the rear of the machine.

Check: Assure the small throat LED light strip connec-

tion on the back frame casting will not be pinched
when the cover is replaced.

Check: Assure the small throat LED light strip connec-

tion on the front cover will not be pinched when the
cover is replaced.

 NOTE: There is extra cable slack inside the

machine to allow the replacement of the light
strips and reconnection without removing the
front cover of the machine. Take care to keep
the slack inside the machine and not where
the front cover meets the back frame.

machine going to the nose cover board pass through
the hole in the castings without being pinched.

Check: Assure the three wires from the front handle

bar connection board, the needle laser, and light ring
do not cover the head frame needle position adjust-
ment screws and will not be pinched when the front
cover is installed.

Check: Assure the wire in the bottom of the free arm,

Section 12: Checking Loop Lift and Needle Distance

Tools required: Loop Lift clamp (part #QM40199), 2.2 mm forked feeler gauge (part #QM40136), 2 mm ball
end L Allen wrench, 2 mm handle Allen wrench and #3 flat screwdriver.

ÂÂ IMPORTANT: The timing and needle distance

adjustment must be done with the front machine
cover on.
Loop Lift is a universal hook and timing term for all lock-stitch
sewing machines. When the needle lifts a specified distance
from the BDC (bottom dead center), the hook point is set
to coincide with the needle. This is the radial position of
the hook called Loop Lift, commonly referred to as timing.
Another part of timing is the Needle Distance. This is the
axial distance from the hook point to the needle. Loop Lift is
the radial setting of the hook and Needle Distance is the axial
setting of the hook. Both of these are set on the hook and
fixed with the same set screws. Since two things are being set
at the same time, this can be a little difficult until practiced.

 N
 OTE: The loop lift clamp used must have a plastic
protective compression pad, so as not to damage the
coating on the needle bar.

Check and Observe the following:

• Remove the needle plate.
• Turn the hand wheel until the needle bar is at its lowest
position or BDC (bottom dead center).
• Place the loop lift clamp (with special protective compression
pad) on the needle bar and set the thumbscrew lightly.
• Place the 2.2 mm feeler gauge between the clamp and the
bottom of the head frame bearing surface.
• Raise, reset and tighten the clamp, pinching the 2.2 mm feeler
gauge in between the clamp and projected bearing. This step
may need to be repeated a few times to remove all excess play
between the clamp and gauge.
• Remove the 2.2 mm feeler gauge.
• Rotate the hand wheel in the direction of motion, This is very
important! until the clamp lightly touches the gauging surface.

ÂÂ IMPORTANT: If the hand wheel is turned too hard, the

clamp may slip, making the check invalid.
• Check the position of the hook point relative to the needle.

• Check the distance between the needle and the hook point.
The hook point should lightly touch (brush) the needle inside
the needle scarf. Too much needle distance or improper loop
lift settings may cause shredding and skipped stitches. Too little
Loop lift and needle height both set correctly distance will cause the needle to bend during sewing and cause
other issues.

 NOTE: This is explained in more detail on page 35.)

Section 13: Adjustment of the Loop Lift and Needle

Distance ÂÂ IMPORTANT: The timing and needle distance
adjustment must be done with the front
machine cover on.

If correction of loop lift or needle distance is

necessary, then the basket must first be rotated
down:

Rotating basket down:

 NOTE: With the bobbin case basket in the

normal position, the basket needle guard
may deflect the needle, making it difficult
to accurately adjust the needle distance
between the hook point and the back of the
Stop-finger engaged with bobbin case installed needle scarf. It is important that the basket
needle guard be rotated down, out of the way,
to allow correct adjustment of the needle
distance setting.

Rotate the basket out of the way to facilitate the

needle distance adjustment.

ÂÂ IMPORTANT: After moving the stop-finger,

you need to hold the basket in place when
turning the hand wheel, to prevent the needle
from hitting the basket.
• Loosen the stop-finger screw with the 2.5 mm
handle Allen tool.
Stop-finger engaged without bobbin case • S lide the stop-finger out of the basket groove,
until the basket can be rotated.
 NOTE: You may need to remove the stop-
finger. In this case, don’t worry about
reinstalling it until after you are finished with
the timing adjustments
• Snug the stop-finger screw.
• Rotate the basket 180 degrees until large cutout is
up towards needle. You will now need to hold the
basket in that position.
(See important NOTE above.)
• Adjust needle distance (and loop lift) as directed in
the next section (beginning on page 34).

Section 13: Adjustment of the Loop Lift and Needle

Distance (Continued)
 NOTE: If the needle bar has been removed
or changed, the needle bar height will need
to be at least roughly set first, or it will not
be possible to set needle distance correctly,
because the hook point will not align with the
needle scarf.

If a correction is needed:
• If still in place from the check, remove the clamp.

• The basket must be rotated down in order to make

setting the needle distance possible.
Loop lift and needle height both set correctly See previous page for information and pictures on
rotating the basket down.

 NOTE: Once the basket has been turned down

it must be held while turning the hand wheel
to prevent it from turning and colliding with
the needle.

 NOTE: When the hook screws have been

loosened, the adjustments of the loop lift and
Needle guard needle distance are possible since the hook
can be moved radially as well as axially.

 NOTE: Some hooks are tighter than others on

the hook-shaft. You may be tempted to pry on
the hook mechanism. If you pry on the hook
it may become damaged, irreparable and
Hook screws unusable.

• L oosen the two screws on the hook base. 2 mm

handle Allen. Replace the clamp and reset with
the 2.2 mm feeler gauge as described on page
32, making sure to turn the hand wheel in the
direction of motion.

• Set the hook to the correct position by sliding the

hook axially (needle distance) on its shaft, as well
as radially (loop lift), setting the hook point relative
to the needle, as described on the next page.
Radial position of loop lift.

Section 13: Adjustment of the Loop Lift and Needle

Distance (Continued)
• Adjust the needle distance by sliding the hook
axially on the hook shaft toward the needle until
the hook barely touches (lightly brushes) inside the
needle scarf.
 NOTE: Because the fabric can displace the
needle during multi-directional sewing, it is
necessary for the needle to lightly brush the
hook inside the needle scarf. Too much needle
distance may cause skipped stitches and
other stitching problems. If the hook brushes
heavily against the hook, it can wear the
needle guard on the hook basket.
Thread cutters
• Check that the needle distance is correct by tap-
ping on the needle with a small tool, e.g. the 2
mm ball hex tool, to see if the needle moves. If
it is touching it will make a hard metal on metal
sound. If the needle is lightly touching then it will
move when the needle bar is pressed lightly on the
back side towards the front of the machine. If you
have to push hard to get the needle to deflect then
the needle is brushing hard against the hook. The
needle should only lightly brush against the hook
to prevent undesirable hook wear.
Hook Screw
• Lightly tighten the first screw with the 2 mm ball
end L Allen tool, while providing resistance against
the adjustment, by holding the hook in place with
Hook screws without front cover your other hand. Carefully rotate the hook on the
hook-shaft to set the loop lift. Carefully snug and
then tighten the first screw.
• Remove the clamp.
• While holding the basket in the down position
and from turning, rotate the hand wheel until the
second hook screw is accessible. Carefully snug,
then tighten the second screw. If you push on
the tool while tightening, the hook may move,
throwing the settings off.

• Tighten both screws tight with the 2 mm handle

Allen tool.
• Reset the loop lift clamp and gauge again to check
that loop lift and needle distance are still correct.
ÂÂ IMPORTANT: If loop lift, needle distance and needle height are not adjusted accurately, the machine may
skip stitches, shred thread or not sew.

1mm  NOTE: Shown with cover off for illustration

purposes only!

ÂÂ IMPORTANT: Needle bar height must be set

m
first with a gauge before the hook is installed
or visually checked with the hook installed and
timed correctly first. The most common check
is the visual check because the hook does not

.co
have to be removed. Needle bar height cannot
be checked visually unless timing has first
been set correctly.

Check: The needle height must be set so that when

viewed from behind as shown, and with the hook
es
point flush with the right side of the needle, the
bottom of the hook point should be 1.0 mm above
the top of the needle eye.
uid

If a correction is necessary:

• Remove the nose cover screw.

• Lower the needle bar to its lowest position to

access the needle bar driver screw.

• Insert a screwdriver through the access hole
• Hold the needle bar with your other hand to
all

provide resistance against the adjustment, so the

needle bar will not fall down, out of the driver.
• While holding the needle bar with one hand,
loosen the screw slightly so that the needle bar can

Section 14: Adjusting the Needle Height (Continued)

• Ensure that the needle-bar thread guide hole is
straight towards the front of the machine.

• If correction is necessary, slightly loosen the needle

bar driver screw while holding the needle bar with
the other hand. Rotate radially until the hole is at
front and re-tighten the driver screw firmly.

 NOTE: The position of the needle clamp screw

is not straight out to the side of the machine,
Thread guide hole to front but is angled toward the back of the machine.
This is to prevent the needle clamp screw from
inadvertently catching the thread from the
take-up lever above it.

 NOTE: Under NO circumstance should the

needle bar clamp screw be completely
loosened. Failure to observe this caution can
result in the uncoupling of the needle bar
from the needle bar driver. If this happens,
do not run the machine. Remove the front
frame cover, reassemble the needle bar to the
needle bar driver and readjust.

Section 15: Adjustment of the Stop-Finger

Machined edge Tools required: (2.5 mm handle Allen)
Check: The engagement of the stop-finger and
throat of the bobbin case support basket must have
a clearance of 0.8 mm to 1.0 mm. This clearance
ensures that adequate space exists for thread
escapement during the sewing process.
Screw A
 NOTE: If set with too much needle clearance,
the basket will be noisy and can also more
easily slip out of adjustment. If set too tight,
the thread will get stuck around the stop-
finger and may jam the machine and damage
the hook.

If an adjustment is necessary:
• Loosen screw A and adjust the stop-finger so the
proper clearance is achieved.

ÂÂ IMPORTANT: Ensure that the stop-finger stays

up tight against the machined edge at the left
of the stop-finger as shown in the first image
on this page.
0.8 mm to 1.0 mm
 NOTE: This view is from the under side looking
up, not from the top side looking down.

• The machined edge helps support the stop-finger

from twisting to the side, so that the basket will
not spin out of position, be hit by the needle
or damaged.

• Tighten screw A firmly.

Tools required: Flat screwdriver, #3 x 150 mm in
length, needle-height cylinder tool.

The Cylinder Height Gauge is used to set needle

bar height first, before the hook has been installed
during production of the machine or when the hook
or needle bar have been removed for some reason
during servicing of the machine.

 NOTE: If loop lift is out of adjustment then

needle bar height will also appear to be out of
adjustment when checked by eye.

 NOTE: The hook must be removed to use the

needle height with the cylinder height gauge
so loop lift and needle distance will then need
to be reset.

 NOTE: The Needle Height Cylinder Tool (part

number QM40131 REV.C) fits all Baby lock
machines to date (January 2018).

This adjustment can be completed with the front

frame cover on or off.

Check: When the machine timing is correct the

needle height should look like the first picture on this
page when the hook point reaches the far edge of the
needle. If not, you may wish to set needle bar height
with the cylinder height gauge.

• Remove the needle plate, stop finger, and

hook assembly.

• Turn the handwheel to bring the needle to its

highest position.

• Slide the cylinder height gauge onto the hook shaft

with the flat up. You may have to tap it onto the
shaft a few times to get the air out of the gauge.

Section 16: Adjusting the Needle Height with Cylinder

Height Gauge (Continued)
• Rotate the cylinder height gauge until the flat
is down.

• Rotate the handwheel until the needle is in the

lowest position.

• S lide the cylinder tool gently out, to be against

the needle.

• Sight through the needle eye and compare the

upper and lower levels of the eye with the cylinder
tool groove. The eye should be aligned with the
white groove of the gauge. If an adjustment is
necessary, hold onto the needle bar with one
hand, while loosening the screw with your other
hand. Raise or lower the needle bar as needed.

• Rotate the needle bar until the hole in the needle

bar clamp thread guide is straight forward.

• Reinstall the hook and set loop lift at 2.2 mm and

reset needle distance. (See Adjustment of the Loop
Lift and Needle Distance Section 13, page 33.)

• Reinstall the stop finger and needle plate.

Section 17: Electronic Information - System Power

The Regalia operates at voltage levels between 100

and 240VAC, 50-60 Hz. This means it can be run in
most countries as long as the appropriate power cord
or adapter plug is used. If an adapter plug is used,
please be sure the adapter connects the Earth Ground
as well as the Line and Neutral prongs of the plug. An
improper or nonexistent earth ground connection will
lead to sporadic and potentially dangerous operating

m
conditions.

An auxiliary AC power outlet is available directly

above the main power inlet on the machine. This

.co
outlet will supply 1 Amp of current at the supplied AC
voltage. Outlet Power is 120 watts maximum.

ÂÂ IMPORTANT: The Regaliapower supply has a

es
remote on/off power control located at the
front of the machine on the left side of the
nose cover. The machine will have no power
if the front nose cover and its connections
are removed. Both the rear and front power
uid

switches must be on for the machine to

power on.
-g

Fuse
The machine uses a replaceable (QM20059) 4.0 A
all

slow blow fuse, 5 mm x 20 mm, (250V) located in the

fuse holder at the back of the machine between the
power cord input and the on/off switch.

Symptoms of a Blown Fuse

With power connected to the machine and with both
the rear power switch and front power switch turned
on, there will be no power to the machine or the
machine auxiliary power if the fuse is blown.

No Machine Power
If the machine has no power, check the most obvious
things first:
• Power at source outlet
• Cord connected properly at source outlet and
machine
• Power switch on at rear of machine
• Power switch on at front of machine. If the nose
cover has been removed along with its connections
the machine will not power on.

Section 17: Electronic Information - System Power

(Continued)
Power Supply
The Regalia machine uses a 500 watt 48VDC output
power supply, mounted inside the machine on the
drive train assembly. The power supply has two
48VDC outputs, one for the control board and one
for the motor driver board. These two boards are
also mounted to the drive train assembly.

At the top of the power supply there is a connection

for the remote power switch located at the front left
of the machine (see top right - small white connector
with black and red wires). The other end of this
remote power switch is on the bottom left on the
control board at J5 (circled in white).

If the power supply has failed, there will be no power

at all to the machine (no handlebar screens, no
lights, etc.). However, it is more likely that the fuse
has blown, if there is no power to the machine than
that the power supply has failed. Refer to page 41 for
fuse information.

Symptoms of a Failed Power Supply

If the power supply totally fails there will be no power
to any system in the machine.

If the power supply fails to provide 48VDC then the

machine will not run because it requires 48VDC to
operate.

 NOTE: It is also possible that power that is

converted by the control board to 5V and
3.3V for other systems in the machine could
fail, rendering those systems inoperative. In
this case the control board would need to be
replaced.

Section 17: Electronic Information - Needle Position

Sensor
The main shaft needle position sensor disc mounts to
the main shaft near the hand wheel. It is composed
of an aluminium disk with a cutout for needle up and
needle down positions. This disk is set on a flat on the
Amara/Forte machines; however it does not follow
the first screw in direction of motion rule. The second
screw is the one set on the flat. The sensor board is
mounted directly to the top of the control board.

With the take-up lever in its highest position, the first

screw is at the front and the edge of the cutout is
aligned with the sensor. The 2nd screw is on the flat.

The disk is centered front to back in the sensor slot.

The take-up lever is up at this time.

There is a forked circuit board containing an

emitter and a receiver for the encoder region. With
the front cover removed, the cables connected
and the machine powered on, the green “NEEDLE”
LED on the right of the control board can be seen.
It will turn on when the take-up lever is at its
highest position, and stay on until the needle is at
its lowest position. The LED is off until the take-up
lever once again reaches its highest position and
then turns on again. The main shaft encoder board
(# QM20052) does not have any LEDs on the board.

Section 17: Electronic Information - Removing

Handwheel
The handwheel can be removed to see some of
the LEDs inside the machine without removing the
machine front cover.

• While holding the handwheel firmly remove

the handwheel screw with a 5 mm hex tool
counterclockwise. You may want to use the “L” hex
tool for more leverage.

• Locate an 8 mm Studio2 Frame or Gallery2 Frame

screw to thread into the handwheel to remove it.

• Install the 8 mm frame screw into the handwheel

while holding the handwheel firmly. Tighten the
screw (clockwise) with a 5 mm hex tool until the
screw pulls the handwheel off the main shaft
tapered end.

Section 17: Electronic Information - Control Board LEDs

Near the top of the Control Board are two green
LEDs (D10, D11). The control board receives an
input of +48V at J6 (circled) from the power supply
and it converts this voltage into two different
voltage levels. The left LED, D10, indicates that
the 5V power is functioning for the front and rear
displays (as well as other circuitry). The right LED,
D11, indicates that the 3.3V power is functioning for
the Control Board main processor (as well as
other circuitry).

ÂÂ IMPORTANT: The machine should be turned

off when wiring is being unplugged or
plugged back in during all testing.

ÂÂ IMPORTANT: Proper ESD (electrostatic

discharge) precautions should be observed
to prevent any latent or catastrophic damage
to the electronic circuitry of the machine.

If either of these LEDs is not on when both power

switches are on and all cables are connected firmly:

• Turn off the power switch

• Disconnect all cables from the control board

other than the red and black power cable at the
top (J6).

• Unplug the remote on/off wire on the power

supply.

Page 48 Regalia Service Manual

 All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com

Section 17: Electronic Information - Control Board LEDs

(Continued)
• Replace the remote on/off wire with a QM20204
jumper on the power supply remote on/off
switch connection. This will bypass the remote
power switch and wiring. (Figure 17.20)

• Turn on the machine. If the LEDs are still not

on, then there may be an issue with the power
supply or the control board. If the LEDs both
begin working again, this may indicate that one
of the peripherals or its cabling is shorting out
the control board.

• If a volt meter indicates that 48V is present at the

Control Board power connector and the Control
Board LEDs are off when everything is unplugged
except for power at J6 and the QM20204 jumper
on the power supply, then the Control Board
should be replaced.

• If the LEDs come back on with everything

unplugged but the above two items; begin
plugging the cables back in one at a time
(powering off between the connection of each
cable) until you find the cable or peripheral that
is causing the issue.

The Control Board has four labelled LEDs down

the right edge of the board. These can be seen by
removing the handwheel ,without removing the
machine front cover.

• D23, KEYPRS: Toggles on and off as the take-up

spring passes the thread break sensor.
• D22, OVRSPD: Used by Engineering during testing
/ development.
• D21, NEEDLE: LED is on from when the take-up
lever is at its highest position until the needle is at
bottom dead center. LED is off from needle bottom
dead center until the take-up lever is at its highest
position.
• D20, HEARTBT: Indicates the main Control Board
processor has power and is functioning when it is
beating like a heartbeat.

Section 17: Electronic Information - Handlebar

Communication LEDs
Located near the bottom of the control board are
two connections, one for the front handlebar display
communications and one to the rear connection panel
for the rear handle bar display communications.

The two small LEDs (D36 and D37) above the front
handlebar connection on the left will flash every
few seconds to indicate whether send/receive
communication is occurring between the front
handlebar display and the Control Board. (Circled in
picture on the left). The two small LEDs (D38, D39)
above the connection to the rear panel on the right
for the rear handlebar connection, function the same
as the front.

Troubleshooting Communication Issues

Handlebar display power, display information
and communications is provided by the mini USB
connection at the bottom of the display.
If a handlebar communication cable is disconnected,
has a bad connection or is damaged, the display
may still boot up past the splash screen. However,
the touch screen will not update or change anything
when touched. The handlebar switches are connected
with the big white connectors with many white
and yellow wires at the Control Board. Handlebar
functions may work when the buttons are pushed
on the handlebar, but the displays will not update
without communications. These big connectors also
enable power to be sent to the displays, so, if they
are damaged you may not have any display or switch
control.

Possible Solutions:
• Try re-booting the machine to see if the problem is
corrected.
• If not, inspect the communications cable that con-
nects to the front board. (circled, bottom)
• Check the cable connection at the front board at
both the front board inside the nose cover, and at
the display. (circled, top)
• If necessary open the machine front cover and
check the front and rear communication cable con-
nections on the Control Board.

nection to the rear panel on the right for the rear
handlebar connection, function similar to those on
the previous page for the front, but for the rear.
The right connector on the control board is the
communication cable at the Control Board for the

Section 17: Electronic Information - Quick-Set Tension

Calibration / Setting Zero
ÂÂ IMPORTANT: When the top tension is installed into the machine, it is calibrated to set the zero tension
position. This does not need to be done again unless the tension is replaced or
re-calibrated incorrectly.

Calibrating the tension is setting or resetting the zero tension setting-position of the tension; therefore, it is
recommended that this only be done when the top tension assembly has been replaced or when it has been
calibrated incorrectly by someone.

ÂÂ IMPORTANT: Because the zero setting will be reset, when the calibration button is pressed, it is very
probable that any customer recorded tension and thread settings will also change.

The customer may be tempted to recalibrate tensions thinking that it will fix tension issues. Calibrating the
tensions when not needed, or incorrectly will more likely cause more, not less tension issues. Recorded
information on tensions and threads may also be lost or rendered useless.

Share this information with customers so they will be aware of the consequences of calibrating the top
tension when not needed. Let them know if you have reset calibration and that their recorded tension info
may have changed.

• Select Tools on the Regalia main screen.

• S elect the tension calibration box at the bottom of the screen.
• L oosen the top tension knob until the spring is no longer touching the top tension disc.
•P
 ush the spring until it just touches the tension discs.
• T ouch the center tension calibration button to calibrate.
• Replace the top tension knob.
•R
 eset the top tension and sew test for proper tension balance.

Section 17: Electronic Information - Thread Break Sensor

ÂÂ IMPORTANT: The thread break sensor will not
function properly if the tensions are set too
loose. The tensions must be tight enough to
move the take-up spring past the sensor in
order to toggle the sensor on and off. When
the thread breaks, the take-up spring stops
going past the sensor and activates the alarm.

ÂÂ IMPORTANT: The thread break sensor housing

is very delicate and can be crushed by the
set screw and shorted internally if tightened
too much. A special nylon tip screw is used to
help, however, it is critical that the screw be
just tight enough to hold the sensor’s position.

If the Thread Break Sensor is not functioning

properly, check the following:
• The thread break sensor has a built-in LED in the
back of its barrel.
• Remove the front nose cover screw
(3 mm hex tool)
• With the cables still connected, push the cover and
wires aside at the hole where the wires enter the
machine. The LED could be always on or always off.
• Thread the machine through the top tension, the
take-up spring, under the stirrup and through the
take-up lever.
• Pull the thread down at the take-up lever and
watch the sensor to see if it activates on when
the wire is near the sensor and off when it is not,
while looking through the hole in the front of the
machine.
