Quilting with the Regalia ST
Preparing to Quilt
1. Make sure the machine has been cleaned, oiled, has a new needle, and that the
table is free from threads or other debris. If the machine isn’t already plugged in,
plug it in.
2. Wind one or more bobbins from the selected thread.
3. Turn on the main power switch at the back of the machine, and using the front
power button on the left side of the machine, turn the machine on or off as
needed.
4. Thread the needle and insert the bobbin. Set the bobbin and top tension.
5. After loading your quilt, use a 4" fabric scrap along the edge of the quilt backing
and batting to test the top tension. Make any adjustments to the tension as
needed.

1. Firmly holding the needle thread with your left hand, choose one of the following
methods to cycle the needle through one full rotation to bring the bobbin thread
to the top of the quilt.
