Quilting With the Janome QMP 20
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 main power switch at the back of the machine and then use the front power button on the
left side of the machine to turn the machine on or off as needed.
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 your
top tension. Make adjustments to the top tension as needed.
To bring bobbin thread to the top of the quilt
1. After the machine is threaded, move the machine over the quilt to your
starting location.
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.
3. Move the machine two to three inches while holding the needle thread in place. The bobbin thread
will pull through to the top of the quilt.
4. Grasp the bobbin thread and pull it to the desired length. Reposition the needle to the starting
location. Manually tie off the threads by quilting a few very tiny stitches or use the automatic Tie-off
feature by pressing the Tie-off button on the Home screen and slightly moving the machine. Press the
Start/Stop button to begin quilting.
NOTE: If you have customized either the star or diamond button to do a tie-off, press that button
on the handlebar instead. For more information about configuring the handlebar buttons, see
To customize the handlebar buttons in the Machine Settings section of this manual.
