Machine Maintenance
Clean and Oil Your Quilt Maker 15
The only place where you need to regularly oil your machine is the bobbin hook assembly. Failure to keep
the hook assembly lubricated can cause severe damage to the machine. We recommend that you oil the
hook assembly with each bobbin change and before use if you haven’t used the machine for a few days.
A change in the sound of the machine while quilting also indicates that it may need to be oiled.
NOTE: Internal lubrication will be done when the machine is taken to a service technician for
routine maintenance and cleaning, every 24 months or 10 million stitches (whichever comes first)
.
Â
IMPORTANT:
Only use light sewing machine oil on the hook when oiling your machine.
To clean the Bobbin Area and oil the Bobbin Hook
1. Turn off the machine. Remove the bobbin and bobbin case.
2. Clean the bobbin basket area using a lint brush (provided) or a quick blast of canned air.
3. Put a small drop of oil on the hook in the
region where the bobbin basket assembly and
the rotating hook meet. The oil will work its
way back into the interlocking area of the hook
and bobbin basket.
4. Replace the bobbin case with bobbin and turn
on the machine
.
QUILTING TIP:
After oiling, always sew a few seconds on a scrap piece of fabric off the side
of the quilt as oil may cling to thread. Over-oiling can cause excess dripping from the bobbin
assembly.
