Machine Maintenance
Clean and Oil Your Quilt Maker Pro 16
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 quilti ng also indicates that it may need to be oiled.
NOTE
: Internal oiling needs to be done when the machine is taken to a service technician for
routi ne maintenance and cleaning, every 12 to 24 months, depending on use.
IMPORTANT
: Only use light sewing machine oil in the hook when oiling your machine.
To clean the bobbin area and oil the bobbin hook
1. Turn off the machine. Then remove the bobbin and bobbin case.
2. Clean the bobbin basket and hook assembly with a soft brush to remove lint.
3. Put a small drop of oil on the hook in the region
where the bobbin basket assembly and the
rotati ng hook meet. The oil will work its way
back into the interlocking area of the hook and
bobbin basket.
4. Replace the bobbin and bobbin case and turn on the machine.
Machine Quilting Tip: After oiling your machine
Aft er oiling, always sew on a scrap piece of fabric off to the side of the quilt as oil may cling
to thread. Over oiling can cause excess dripping from the bobbin assembly.
IMPORTANT
: How oft en you libricate your machine depends upon how much use it gets. We
recommend that you lubricate it before running the machine if it has not been used regularly, or
aft er every bobbin change when using regularly. Failure to keep the machine lubricated will aff ect
sti tch quality and may result in a change in the sound of the machine.
