Setting Up the Table (and Taking it
Down for Storage)
Check that the On/Off switch (page 11, Figure 3, #24) is
turned off (the 0 setting). Plug the power cord into the
top power outlet on the back of the machine (Figure 4).
Do not plug the power cord into a power source at
this time.
Installing the Power Cord
1. Plug in the foot pedal cord end into the foot pedal
connector (see page 11, Figure 3, #27).
2. Place the foot pedal under the table where operator
can reach it from the front of the machine.
1. Remove the protective cover from the tape on one side
only of the table overlay.
2. Slide the table overlay (with the tape-side down) under
the Artistic Quilter hopping foot and align the overlay
while holding up the side with the exposed tape.
3. When the overlay is in position, press down the side
of the overlay with the exposed tape, making sure the
overlay is still positioned properly.
4. With one side attached to the table, lift the opposite
side of the overlay and remove the protective cover
from the tape. Press down to attach to the table.
5. Repeat with the tape at the front of the overlay.
6. Ensure the overlay is securely attached to the table,
adjusting as needed.
NO TE: If the Artistic Quilter must be removed after the
table overlay is installed, lift the machine upward at
the back a couple of inches so the needle plate drops
below the table overlay. Then proceed to pull out the
Artistic Quilter from the back of the table.
The Artistic Quilter SD-16 table has been designed to
accommodate the Artistic Quilter SD-16 machine. It
has folding legs that are height-adjustable and is heavy
enough to provide stabilization for quilting at high speeds.
1. Open the box and gently remove the table, taking care
not to drop the table on the floor. The table weighs
nearly 50 pounds, so it is recommended that you ask
someone to help.
2. Unfold the legs, pulling on the horizontal braces until
the legs snap into place. Set the table upright.
3. Make the table taller by pinching the two height-
adjustment tabs on each set of legs and lifting on table,
while holding legs down with foot. Make the table
shorter by pinching the same tabs and pushing down on
the table.
4. To store the table, remove machine and return legs to
their lowest position.
5. The legs are attached to the table top with brackets
of two different sizes. One is longer than the other.
Identify the long and the short leg brackets.
6. Fold in the short bracket leg first. Push on the horizontal
braces to loosen the legs and push them back toward
the table top.
7. Repeat with the long bracket leg.

Installation Instructions
Placing the Machine in the Table
1. We recommend having someone help lift and place
the machine.
2. Lift the machine by putting one arm through the
throat space.
3. Guide the machine from the back of the table into the
slot. Machine is positioned correctly when the back of
the machine is flush with the back of the table.
