A few years ago I got my hands on an old overlock machine. I suppose you could consider it an inheritance, as it belonged to my dear grandmother. The Babylock BL3-408 had been sitting for years and was in a rather poor state, the family had conceded that it didn’t work. Any attempt to sew with it simply ate fabric.
Once I began sewing more seriously, I decided to try and fix it.
Most of the ‘fixing’ was actually just deep cleaning and tension adjustment, but it still proved to be a daunting task. I had never worked with one of these machines and I blasted it apart with probably too much confidence. Hey, it was ‘broken’, right? So if I couldn’t get it back together, no biggie…

A while ago you answered a question about the BL3-407. I just bought one on the weekend but unfortunately it didn't come with a manual. I'm dying to use it but have no idea how to even thread it up. I was wondering whether you scanned in the manual and sent it and whether you might be able to send it to me as well. Would love it if you could.
I scrubbed the exterior plates with diluted rubbing alcohol and the interior pieces with a dry cloth. The machine was absolutely filled with grime. Unfortunately, I don’t have many photos of this process. I have a habit of becoming absorbed with a task and forgetting that cameras were invented.

Once the machine was back together, I adjusted the tension knobs using the notes that my grandmother had written in the back of the manual. Unfortunately, due to poor storage techniques, the plastic cover on the throat plate was shattered. Luckily, this does not seem to impact sewing.
The full original manual is intact, with added handwritten notes from my grandma. It’s truly keepsake-level stuff. I’ve read that the manual is no longer available from Babylock, so I feel pretty fortunate.
Not only is the manual in my possession, but also a box of accessories! Extra needles and blades, the whole deal.
It took me about two hours to fix up this old machine. I don’t think it quite counts as vintage?
It’s a pretty simple machine, only capable of finishing edges and doing a narrow rolled hem. While it’s quite a process to switch between the two functions, it’s certainly a sturdy machine. It simply feels hefty.
Quite a learning experience, for sure.
