Adjusting the Height of the Hopping Foot There are many reason to adjust the height of the hopping foot. You could be using a thicker batting, quilting a quilt with thicker seams, or just need a little more clearance. You don’t want the foot to be too high as that can cause strain on the thread, create flagging of the fabric while stitching, or just be to high if you put a ruler next to it.
Routine Cleaning and Oiling Routine cleaning and oiling is very important to the longevity of your quilting machine. Brush out the fuzz from around the hook and foot. Change your needle regularly to avoid thread breakage, tension problems and needle breakage. A worn needle can mean skipped stitches, shredded thread and a weakening of the needle itself.
Bobbin Winder and Bobbins A bobbin winder is included with your machine. The thread on a properly wound bobbin should be snug and have even layers of thread. A sloppy or mushy wound bobbin will result in poor stitch quality. How do I wind a Bobbin? Step 1: Insert an empty bobbin on the bobbin winder spindle.

Check the tension of the bobbin by holding the loaded bobbin case in one hand. With one hand under the bobbin case, hold the tail of thread and watch as the thread flows out of the bobbin case. A slight bounce should cause the bobbin case to slide down the thread.
Threading Your Quilter's Pro Your Quilter's Pro Deluxe is capable of sewing with many types of threads. One thing to keep in mind is this machine is an industrial machine so very light threads will be harder to use that the more traditional machine quilting threads.

How do I Make Adjustments to Make the Perfect Stitch? Understanding how your long arm machine makes a stitch will help you make the proper adjustments to make the perfect stitch. The technique all long arm machines use to make a stitch is basically opposite of the home sewing machine.
Tension, Tension, Tension ..This probably causes more problems than anything else. You need correct tension on the top and bottom threads but you also must have correct tension on the quilt held between the bars. You should be able to gently rock the belly bar where the backing fabric is attached. This allows enough movement of your quilt layers for the needle to penetrate and make good stitches.

Eyelashes Eyelashes on the back of the quilt can be caused by too little top tension. Turn the thread tension disk clockwise ¼ turn. Make small adjustments. Repeat until stitch quality is good. Remember the upper and lower thread play tug of war with each other. Loose Top Stitch Is the tension lever handle down? It lowers the hopping foot and applies the tension disk.
