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. These things can lead to stitch quality issues.
Lint has a tendency to build up in the bobbin case. A tiny amount
of lint can cause poor stitches. Check the bobbin case each
time you change the bobbin to keep it clean. We suggest using
a soft bristle brush to wipe out the bobbin case and the bobbin
area. Canned air only blows the lint around. By using a soft
bristle brush you collect the dust on the brush. Occasionally, place
a drop of machine oil on a cotton swab to wipe out the bobbin
case.
Keep your table clean of dust and oil. Clean the bars and carriage
deck regularly for smooth movement.
Oiling is extremely important to the longevity of your quilting
machine. Failure to oil your machine regularly can void your
warranty.
The one oiling spot marked with red arrow is marked with red
paint on your machine. An oil bottle is included with your machine.
The one oiling spot marked with a blue arrow contains a dip stick.
Remove the dip stick by lifting it up with a finger nail or screw
driver. Place drops of oil in this same hole if you find no oil on the
dip stick.
Recommended oiling:
After every finished quilt place 3 to 4 drops of oil at the location
with a red spot towards the front (needle side) of the machine.
This is located on the top of the machine. see figure 35 oil spot
on top
The other location is the oil dip stick found just behind the
needle. At this time make sure oil is present on dip stick. If not
add 3-4 drops of oil where you pulled the dip stick out. Run
machine to lubricate use a clear high grade sewing machine oil.
See figures 36, 37, and 38. (Note: the machine pictured here is
before complete assembly from factory; your machine has more
components attached.)
