Quilting with the QMP20 Versa ST

Preparing to Quilt

1. Make sure your machine has been cleaned, oiled, has a new needle, and that the table is
free from threads or other debris. If the machine isn't already plugged in, plug it in now.
2. Select your thread and wind one or more bobbins.
3. Turn on the main power switch at the back of the machine and then use the front power
button on the left side of the machine to turn the machine on or off as needed.
4. Set your bobbin tension and thread your machine.
5. After loading your quilt, use a scrap of fabric along the edge of the quilt backing and
batting to test your top tension. Make adjustments to the top tension as needed.
To bring Bobbin Thread to the top of the quilt
1. After threading the machine, plug it in and turn on the power. Place quilt sandwich
under hopping foot.
2. While firmly holding the tail of the needle thread with the left hand, choose one of the
following methods to cycle the needle through one full rotation to bring the bobbin
thread to the top of the quilt.
A. Foot Pedal Method. LIGHTLY tap the foot pedal to make the needle go down. Then
LIGHTLY tap again to bring the needle up.
B. Needle Up/Down Button Half-Stitch. Find the Needle Up/Down Button in the center
of the color touchscreen main display. Press once to cycle the needle down. Press
again to cycle the needle back up.
C. Needle Up/Down Button, Full-Stitch. Find the Needle Up/Down Button in the center
of the color touchscreen main display. Press and hold briefly to cycle the needle
through one complete stitch cycle (down and back up).
3. Pull the fabric 3-4 inches away while holding the needle thread.
4. The bobbin thread will pull up and through to the top, allowing you to grasp the loop
and pull it to the desired length.
