QUILT MAKER PRO 20
Bobbin and Bobbin Tension
The QMP 20 quilting machine uses M-class bobbins that are larger than home sewing machine L-class
bobbins. The larger bobbins hold more thread and enable you to quilt for a longer time between
bobbin changes.
The QMP 20 also has a low-bobbin alarm. For more information about the low-bobbin alarm, see
To configure the low-bobbin alarm settings in the Toolbar Options section of this manual.
To wind the bobbin
The QMP 20 comes with a separate bobbin winder. For full instructions about using the bobbin winder, see
the instruction manual that is packaged with the bobbin winder.
To insert the bobbin into the bobbin case
U
CAUTION: To prevent personal injury, always turn off the front power switch while inserting
and/or removing the bobbin case or anytime your hands are near the needle area, such as
when you change the needle.
1. Place the bobbin in the bobbin case so that the
thread pulls off clockwise when viewing the
open side.
2. Slide the thread through the slot and under the
tension spring, leaving approximately five to six
inches of thread hanging loose.
To test bobbin tension
The bobbin tension is the foundation for stitch tension. Always set the bobbin tension first.
NOTE: Check the bobbin tension each time a new bobbin is inserted.
1. With the bobbin properly in the bobbin case, hold the bobbin case in the palm of your hand with the
open end facing up.
