3. Thread continues through thread guide C, and then
down to the tension assembly (see Figure 15).
NOTE: It is important that the thread is “flossed” up
between the two tension discs. If the thread is not firmly
in place between the two tension discs, the thread rests
on the outside of the tension discs (without tension) and
looping on fabric or thread nests may occur.
4. Once the thread is in place, be sure that the thread
catches on the take-up spring and then pull it down
under the stirrup (thread guide D).
5. Bring the thread back up through the take-up lever
from back to front, and then down through thread
guide E. Pull the thread at the take up lever to ensure
that it is properly flossed between the tension disks.
If it is properly flossed in the tension disks you should
feel some resistance as you pull the thread. If it is not,
then the thread will pull freely.
6. Pull the thread down to the needle thread guide and
thread through the hole (thread guide F).
7. Make sure the thread is following the groove down the
front of the needle and threads from front to back.
Be careful that the thread does not twist around the
needle.

Important notes: The Janome Quilt Maker Pro 18
quilting machine does not have a presser foot lever or
top tension release like a home sewing machine. On
a home sewing machine the top tension is released
when the presser foot is raised, allowing the thread to
come freely out of the machine. When a home machine
is threaded, the presser foot is raised and the tension
discs are released and open for the thread to easily fall
between the tension discs. This is not the case with the
Janome
Quilt Maker Pro 18 quilting machine where the
top tension is always tight and the tension discs are
never open. Therefore, the thread must be pulled up
or “flossed” between the tension discs or it will stay
outside the discs and float without tension, causing
serious tension problems and/or thread nests. It is also
possible to bend the needle while it is threaded if care
is not taken while moving the machine around the quilt
because the top tension is never released.
