Quilting With the Platinum Q|165
Preparing to Quilt
1. Make sure your machine has been cleaned, oiled, has a new needle, and that the tracks on the frame
are free from threads or other debris. If the machine isn’t already plugged in, plug it in now.
2. Select your thread and wind one or more bobbins.
3. Turn on the power switch at the back of the machine.
4. Set your bobbin tension and thread your machine.
5. After loading your quilt, use a scrap of fabric along the edge of the quilt backing and batting to test the
top tension. Make adjustments to the top tension as needed.
Using the Handlebar Buttons

2. While firmly holding the tail of the needle thread, press the needle up/
down button twice, causing the needle to go down through the quilt
sandwich and then back to the up position. Or press and hold the up/down
button until the needle does a full revolution; then release the button.
3. Move the machine four to six inches while holding the needle thread in place. The bobbin thread will
pull up through to the top of the quilt.
4. Grasp the bobbin thread loop and pull it to the desired length. Reposition the needle to the starting
location, tie off the threads by quilting a few stitches in place. Then begin quilting.
To start or stop quilting
