CARE OF YOUR STURDY-LITE

Your Sturdy-Lite frame is a machine quilting system that can be used finished or unfinished.  

Most use it unfinished with no problem, and doing so does not adversely affect warranty coverage.  

However, for extra protection, or to give it a finished look, you may seal, stain and/or finish the frame 

using a number of different applications.  This is best done BEFORE YOU ASSEMBLE your frame.  

To seal the wood, we recommend an application of tung oil or Danish Oil finish that will help 

preserve the wood and will help to prevent warping.  We recommend the McCloskey’s Tung Seal, 

Deft

TM

 or Watco

TM

 brands.  Some prefer to use a urethane coat to add a more glossy finish.  

Test stain on an inconspicuous place.  Many different finishes and/or stains may be suitable for 

sealing and beautifying your frame.  You may want to consult your local paint retailer for finishes that 

are easy to apply and dry hard–not oily.

Use and Storage Tip

--Store frame in a dry place.  Avoid the possibility of moisture coming into contact with your wood.
