How to Change the Belt in a Babylock Ellure

The Babylock Ellure is a digital sewing machine capable of accepting sewing files to aid in the process of sewing embroidery. However, even though the sewing machine has many technological advancements, it still relies on a drive belt to run the machine. The drive belt connects between the motor and the spindle. The motor turns the spindle and subsequently the spindle raises and lowers the sewing needle. If the belt breaks you must replace the belt with a new one.
