Most-replaced parts on the Baby Lock BL500A
Belt Cover Babylock BL500A BL510A BLQP Bro PQ1500S (XA4819055): a stretched or glazed motor belt makes the machine slow under load or squeal; a timing belt that slips puts the hook out of time and the stitch skips.
BOBBIN CASE Babylock BL500A BLQP (S06573052): a dropped bobbin case or a nicked tension spring is the most common cause of thread looping underneath, and it is a cheap part to swap.
NEEDLE PLATE Brother PQ1500S Babylock BL500A Jane (XC1645051): a needle strike leaves a burr around the hole that snags thread and fabric; on a serger the stitch finger wears and the edge stops forming cleanly.
SEW STEADY TABLE Babylock BLQP BL500A 18x24 (DW-BL120): an extension table is cut to this machine's bed and free-arm position; sibling models are not automatically the same.
Finding your model number
The model number is on the machine itself, not on the carry case or the manual — look for a plate or sticker on the front of the base, the right-hand side, the back near the power socket, or underneath. On a Baby Lock it is printed as BL500A and the letters and suffix are part of it; a sibling model with a different suffix can take different parts.

Each one is listed above with its price and whether it is the manufacturer's part, a compatible part, or an accessory cut for this model.
Will a Sew Steady table for the BL500A fit a different Baby Lock model?
Only if that model is named on the table's page. Tables are cut to the bed shape and free-arm position; the names listed on each table are the models the distributor specifies. Email us the other model number before ordering.
Do these parts also fit the Baby Lock PQ1500S?
2 of the 4 items on this page name the PQ1500S as well, because the two models share those parts. The rest do not — check the fits-these-machines list on each part, and see the related machines below.
My BL500A needs a part that is not listed. Can you get it?
Email the part name and your model number to support@ultimatesewingandvac.com. If the distributor's catalog carries it we will quote it; if the fitment is uncertain we will say so rather than guess.
Do you ship the same day?
No. Orders are released to the warehouse the next business day and tracking is emailed when the parcel ships. We do not hold stock ourselves, so if an item is unavailable after you order we email you first.
