 IMPORTANT: The Moxie does not have a presser foot lever, or top tension release, like a home
sewing machine. On a home sewing machine the top tension is released when the presser
foot is raised, allowing the thread to come freely out of the machine. When a home machine
is threaded the tension discs are released and open to allow the thread to easily fall between
the tension discs. This isn't the case with the Quilt Maker 15 machine. The top tension is always
engaged and the tension discs are never open. Therefore the thread must be pulled up, or
flossed, between the tension discs or it will stay outside the discs and float without tension,
causing serious stitch quality problems and/or thread nests.
Optional Accessory: Janome Feet
Janome offers several optional accessory feet that can be used for everyday quilting as well as special
techniques. Explore the possibilities with these videos.
Bobbin and Bobbin Tension
The Quilt Maker 15 quilting machine uses M-class bobbins that are much larger than home sewing
machine L-class bobbins. The larger bobbins hold more thread and enable you to quilt for a longer
time between bobbin changes.
To wind the Bobbin
The Quilt Maker 15 comes with a separate bobbin winder. For full instructions about using the bobbin
winder, see the instruction manual that is packaged with the bobbin winder.
To insert the bobbin into the bobbin case
U CAUTION: To prevent personal injury, always turn off the power switch while inserting
and/or removing the bobbin case or anytime your hands are near the needle area, such
as when you change the needle or the hopping foot.
1.
Place the bobbin in the bobbin case
so the thread is wound clockwise and
coming off top right.
