Steps 17 & 18
Attach Leaders
Adjusting Frame Height and Leveling
Step 17: Attach Leaders
Parts needed
1-Frame Assembly with hook & loop tape
applied to Poles
3- Leaders (Sold separately BLQL)
17-1: Mark the center of the leaders on both
the hook & loop tape and the hemmed edge.
Mark the center of the quilt top pole, backing
pole and take-up pole with a permanent
marker.
17-2: Beginning in the center, align the marks
and attach the leaders to the hook & loop tape
on backing pole and the quilt top pole so the
marked sides of the leaders hang to the center
between the poles.
Beginning in the center, align the marks and
attach the remaining leader so it falls to the
back of the take-up pole.
Step 18: Adjusting Frame Height
and Leveling
18-1: Adjust the frame height so that when
standing at the front of the machine with your
hands on the front handle bars, your elbows are
28
bent at a 90 degree angle. It is recommended
to have a second person lift the frame weight
off the height adjusting screws when you need
to make a height adjustment.
Ensure that the height-adjustment screws
in each leg are in the same slot and fully
tightened. The rough height setting is done at
the slots in the legs and the fine adjustment
is done at the leveling glides at the bottom of
each leg. The 16mm/10mm wrench is designed
to fit the leveling glide.
18-2: Double-check to make sure the frame is
level. Using a spirit level, check and adjust the
frame top to be level in the place where it will
be used, both front to back and side to side,
by adjusting the leveling feet. Double-check
the table top frame to ensure that it is flat at
the splice braces and not sagging or high at
the joints. If no spirit level is available, check
the table with machine on the carriage and the
tracks. When the table is level, the machine
should stay where you put it and not roll
forward, back or side to side.
