Page 10: Threading The Machine
THREADING THE MACHINE There are six thread guides that the top thread passes through. The diagram at right shows an overview of the threading procedure; refer to the specific instructions below for important details. Your spool of thread should be in the same position as it was for winding the bobbin- on the spool pin on the back of the machine. - Page 11 4. Grasp slack thread (while removing slack); guide the thread into the center groove in disc thread guide “C”. NOTE: Make sure that thread does not slip behind the guide.

Page 12: Raising The Bobbin Thread
RAISING THE BOBBIN THREAD 1. Hold top (needle) thread and turn hand wheel toward you until needle goes to its lowest and then its highest point. Raise the presser foot using the presser bar lifter. 2. Gently pull top (needle) thread until lower (bobbin) thread comes up in the form of a loop. -
Page 13: Sewing A Broken Seam
SEWING A BROKEN SEAM 1. Set the stitch control knob to the desired stitch length. For most sewing, the “long stitch” setting is acceptable. Turn hand wheel toward you to raise the needle to the highest position. 2. Lift presser foot using presser bar lifter. -
Page 14: Securing A Seam
SECURING A SEAM There are two methods of securing the threads at the start and the end of the repaired seam. METHOD #1 : Backstitching Turn the stitch control knob to REVERSE (left) position and backstitch 4-5 stitches at start and end of seam repair. -
Page 15: Adjusting Tension
ADJUSTING TENSION All tension adjustment is accomplished by using the needle thread tension dial. The bobbin case tension is pre-set at the factory and cannot be adjusted. The tension level may be determined by using two different color threads for the needle and bobbin threads, and then analyzing the resulting stitches. -
Page 16: Changing Needles
CHANGING NEEDLES IMPORTANT: use size 14 needles. 1. Turn hand wheel to raise needle to its highest position. Loosen the needle clamp screw just enough to remove needle. A small screwdriver may be helpful. 2. With flat side of needle to the right (same side as needle clamp screw), insert new needle up into the clamp as far as it will go. -
Page 17: Bobbin Case Replacement
BOBBIN CASE REPLACEMENT A special feature of the QuikStitch is the anti-thread jamming bobbin case. The bobbin case is held in place by a positioning plate which is designed to flex slightly to allow the bobbin case to move back and forth freely, about 1/16”. In the event that the bobbin case becomes displaced and does not move freely or pops out completely, follow the three easy steps below. -
