QUILT MAKER PRO 16
Opti onal Accessory: Ruler Base
If you plan to use rulers and templates with the Quilt Maker Pro 16, you need to purchase the ruler base to
give you a large, stable surface on which to rest the ruler or template. The ruler base, rulers, and templates
are opti onal accessories.
To install the opti onal ruler base
1. The Quilt Maker Pro comes with four
preinstalled mounts for the ruler base.
2. Tilt the ruler base down about 300 and align
the ruler base brackets with the four machine
mounts.
3. Push the ruler base down and back onto the
machine mounts.
To remove the ruler base
• Start by lightly pulling out and then up to
remove the ruler base from the machine
mounti ng tabs.
To use rulers and templates with your quilti ng machine
CAUTION
: Use only one-quarter inch thick rulers and templates with your machine. Do not use
rotary-cutti ng rulers as they are too thin and can easily slip under the hopping foot. Always use a
ruler base or extended table to stabilize the ruler.
Keep the ruler fl at and quilt only where you are securely holding the ruler. Avoid losing control by walking
your hand along the ruler or stopping and repositi oning your hand and the ruler.
• Apply gentle three-point pressure to the
ruler, as follows.
1. Press the ruler against any side of the
hopping foot.
2. Press machine against ruler.
3. Press ruler against ruler base with only
as much pressure as is necessary to
keep the ruler from slipping. Too much
pressure will keep the machine from
moving.
The machine’s hopping foot sti tches a quilti ng line
that is a quarter inch away from the ruler edge.
The markings on all Janome rulers take this into
considerati on.
NOTE
: Set the machine to stop in the
needle-down positi on to keep the machine
from moving while making adjustments with
the ruler.
