Machine Maintenance
Clean and Oil your Quilt Maker Pro 20 Versa ST
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 oiling needs to 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. If needed, turn off the machine by pressing the front switch. Then remove the bobbin
and the bobbin case.
2. Clean the bobbin basket area using a lint brush
.
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 and bobbin case and turn on the machine.
QUILTING TIP
: After 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.
