QUILT MAKER PRO 20
Using Your Machine
Power Switch
There are two power switches for your machine. The main power switch is at the rear of the machine and
another power switch is at the front of the machine for added convenience.
The machine is turned on when both switches are turned on. The machine is turned off when both
switches are off. However, you may turn off the machine functions by turning off only the front switch if
you will be returning to quilting within a day.
Turn on the back switch first by toggling the switch from the 0 position to the 1 position. Then turn on
the front switch by pressing it. The front switch will not turn on the machine unless the back switch is
already on.
Â
IMPORTANT: If you will not be using the machine for more than a day, we recommend you turn off
both switches and unplug the power cord from the power source.
Â
IMPORTANT: Refer to the safety instructions.
Lighting
The QMP 20 includes several lights to make it easy for you to see your quilting area: two lights under the
throat of the machine that provide lighting to the quilting area and a light ring that illuminates the needle
and stitching area. There is also a bobbin area light. Optional UV lights will be available as an accessory for
purchase. UV lights are helpful when you need to see white thread or white chalk on white fabric.
Turning the lights on and off is done through the touch-screen display. For more information about
turning on the machine lights, see To control the lights on the machine in the Toolbar Options section
of this manual.
Magnetic Tool Minder Collar
Use the left side of the collar to store steel tools, such as mini scissors, close at hand.
Machine Needle
Use only the recommended needle system for your QMP 20 quilting machine. The machine was timed to
use this specific type of needle (System 134) and it is designed to work with the high quilting speeds and
multi-directional stitching the QMP 20 offers.
