Quick Reference
1. Make sure your quilting frame is level.
2. Check your machine’s wheel alignment. Make sure all your
Block RockiT wheels are rolling properly.
3. Blow out your bobbin case, needle area and tension discs.
(CANNED AIR WORKS GREAT)
4. Oil your machine and run in manual mode for about a minute.
5. Make sure your hopping foot is a credit cards length from the
needle plate.
6. Make sure you have threaded your machine correctly
7. Clean the tracks on your quilting frame. This will prolong the
life of your tracks and make you a better quilter!
8. When you roll your quilt, make sure to keep quilt tension and
that your quilt sandwich is always parallel to the floor
9. Stitch on a “practice quilt”
(2 PIECES OF FABRIC STITCHED TOGETHER)
to check for skipped stitches, loops or breaking thread, etc.
10. Make sure leaders are flattened and straight before loading
your quilt.
11. Make sure to keep the rolled quilt on the take up rail a fingers
width above the throat of the machine.
CHECKLIST: BEFORE STARTING A NEW QUILT
KATHY SAYS: We like to use a magnetic bowl to keep our
pins, screws, allen wrenches and other items together.
Great way to stay organized!
