Hopping Feet - Janome Quilt Maker Pro 16 User Manual

User Manual
 CAUTION: Your Janome machine sti tches at a much faster speed than your home sewing machine;
therefore, it is essenti al that the needle is seated into the needle bar and fully ti ghtened (but not
overti ghtened). Check oft en that the needle has not become loose. If the needle comes loose, it
could break in the machine causing damage, alter the machine's ti ming, or cause
bodily harm.

For general quilti ng, a size 16/100 needle will accommodate most threads and fabrics.
Heavier threads, such as top sti tch and some decorati ve threads, require a larger needle
such as 18/110 or 20/125. Loft y batt s and heavier fabrics such as denim, canvas, or densely
woven fabric may also require a larger needle.

Hopping Feet

Your machine comes with two hopping feet: a ruler foot (comes installed) and an open-toe foot. Use the
ruler foot for everyday quilti ng and ruler work, and use the open-toe foot when you need greater sti tch
visibility (such as when you are micro quilti ng).
To change the hopping foot
1. Remove the foot that is on the mount by using
the 2.5 mm hex tool to loosen the mounti ng
screw far enough that you can slide the foot off
of the mount.
2. Slide the desired foot onto the mount. Note
that the opening on the side of the foot is lined
up with the screw hole. Push the foot up as far
as it will go.
 NOTE: You may need to push up the
pressure bar (see Left Side View, Detail A,
item 18) when changing the hopping foot.
