Using Your Machine
Power Switch
There are two power switches for your machine. The main power switch is at the rear of the machine and
another power switch is at the front of the machine for added convenience.
The machine is turned on when both switches are turned on. The machine is turned off when both
switches are off. However, you may turn off the machine functions by turning off only the front switch if
you will be returning to quilting within a day.
Turn on the back switch first by toggling the switch from the 0 position to the 1 position. Then turn on
the front switch by pressing it. The front switch will not turn on the machine unless the back switch is
already on.
Â
IMPORTANT
: If you will not be using the machine for more than a day, we recommend you turn off
both switches and unplug the power cord from the power source.
Â
IMPORTANT
: Refer to the safety instructions.
Lighting
The Infinity includes several lights to make it easy for you to see your quilting area: a light under the throat
of the machine, a light ring that illuminates the needle and stitching area, and lights on the handlebars that
provide additional light to the quilting area. You can also turn on UV lights when you need to see white
thread or white chalk on white fabric.
Turning the lights on and off is done through the touch-screen display. For more information about
turning on the machine lights, see
To control the lights
on the machine in the
Toolbar Options
section
of this manual.
Machine Needle
Use only the recommended needle system for your Infinity quilting machine. The machine was timed to
use this specific type of needle and it is designed to work with the high quilting speeds and multidirectional
stitching the Infinity offers.
