From either the front or back of your table, lift the

quilting head and guide the axle wheels onto the

2.

Be sure to keep the sewing head level as

you align the wheels with the carriage.

3.

To keep the head from rolling off the carriage, use the

clamps by placing one clamp on each side of the

sewing head’s front axle wheel as shown above.
