To insert the Bobbin case into the machine
1. Move the needle to the up position. Turn off the power to the machine using the
front button.
2. Place the bobbin in the bobbin case so that the thread pulls off clockwise when
viewing the open side.
3. Slide the thread through the slot and under the tension spring, leaving 5 to 6 inches
of thread hanging loose.
4. To fit the bobbin case onto the hook
spindle in the machine, orient the bobbin
case as shown in the photo with alignment
notch to the right. Push the bobbin case
inward until it clicks into place.
NOTE
: Do not insert the bobbin case into the machine by lifting the lever on bobbin
case. Use the lever only for removing the bobbin case.
Thread Tension
One of the joys of quilting with the QMP20 Versa ST is its ability to handle many different
types of thread. You can quilt with almost any high-quality thread as long as you first adjust
the bobbin tension and then adjust the top tension to suit the thread you’ve chosen.
Puckering, gathers, and thread breakage occur when the top tension is too tight. Loops and
thread nests occur when the top thread tension is too loose. Tension may need to be adjusted
depending on the fabric, thread, or batting you are using on the project.
NOTE
: Top tension should be adjusted after the bobbin case tension adjustment is made.
NOTE
: Dark threads will be thicker (because of dye) than light threads of the same
weight and may require a tension adjustment. The type or brand of thread may also
affect tension settings. Each time you change threads, you should check your tension.
