U
CAUTION
: Use only one-quarter inch thick rulers with your machine. Do not use rotary-cutting
rulers as they are too thin and can easily slip under the hopping foot. Always use a ruler base or
extended table to stabilize the ruler.
Keep the ruler flat and quilt only where ruler is held securely. Avoid losing control by walking your hand
along the ruler or stopping and repositioning your hand and the ruler.
• Apply gentle three-point pressure to the ruler, as follows.
1. Press the ruler against any side of the hopping foot.
2. Press machine against ruler.
3. Press ruler against ruler base with only as much force as is necessary to keep the ruler from
slipping. Too much pressure will keep the machine from moving.
The quilting line is approximately a quarter inch away from the ruler edge for most machines. The markings
on all Handi Quilter rulers take this into consideration.
NOTE
: Set the machine to stop in the needle-down position to keep the machine from moving while
making adjustments with the ruler.
Install the Laser Stylus
The laser light (for use with paper pantographs) is installed on a mounting post that is attached to the
accessory track along the right side of the machine.
