Adjusting the Hopping Foot
Height Adjustment Instructions
When quilting with thicker fabric or batting layers, the hopping foot may begin to drag from pressing
down on the quilt too tightly. Alternatively, if the hopping foot is set too high, skipped stitches can
result. The hopping foot can be raised or lowered to correct these problems.
To adjust the hopping foot height, take the following steps:
1. Loosen the
thumb screw
that holds the hopping foot to the presser bar.
2. Raise or lower the hopping foot to the desired height. Note: If quilting on standard batting with
two fabric layers, place the provided hopping foot height gauge underneath the hopping foot to
obtain the correct height.
