Sewing Tips
• Be careful not to sew too close to the edge, to prevent hitting your Bungee Clamps, or running of
f
the edge of the quilt. Also, if you are using side leaders, avoid accidentally stitching the leaders to your
quilt.
• If your quilt will fit onto your frame Length-wise attach your quilt
’s fabric to the rails along its length.
You will have to roll the quilt less often, since your work surface will be as large as possible. Also, the
quilt will not be as large under the arm of the machine when you get to the end.
•
Y
ou will need 4-5 bobbins to quilt a small sized quilt (less than a queen)
.
• Make sure to turn of
f your sewing machine any time you leave your quilting room.
• Keeping the fabric on the
Ta
ke-Up Rail just slightly above the bed of the sewing machine, yields the
best results. If the fabric is too high of
f the bed, thread and needle breakage may occur.
If it is press-
ing down on the bed of the machine it will be difficult to roll the sewing machine on the frame.
• When rolling the quilt, pull the batting a little to each side to make sure that it is not bunching.
After
rolling and tightening all the rails, check under the quilt to see that the back is smooth.
