Attaching Idle Rollers (E & F) to Frame 

The two IDLE ROLLERS not only secure the machine from mov-

ing too far forward or backward, but help keep your quilt top, 

batting and backing fabric (when loaded) straight and taunt. 

Each roller has a spring-loaded end and one end that contains   

a cap with a threaded hole.

1. Position quilting machine so it is moved slightly to the front of the 

frame. Be sure  machine is not moved so far forward carriage rolls off 

trolley. Refer to caution on previous page.
2. Idle Roller (E) is slid through the open arm of the machine. Refer-

ring to diagram, working from the back of the frame, attach IDLE 

ROLLER (E ) to frame by positioning the spring loaded end on pin in 

location 

E

 on the side panel to your right (Left side panel if facing 

front of machine and frame). Make sure the black knob is loosened 

enough for spring to move in or out freely. Bring opposite end of 

pole into position. Push hard enough that spring loaded end short-

ens enough to bring pole onto position and slips in place on “pin.”  

Tighten black knob on spring loaded end to secure roller in place.

3. Working from the front of the frame, repeat  above step to attach IDLE ROLLER (F) in place with the spring loaded end on your 

left as you are facing the front of the machine. (Standing in front of the frame, both spring-loaded ends will be on your left.)

Attaching Take-Up Roller (G) to Frame

The TAKE- UP ROLLER takes up the quilt as it is being completed. Each roller has a spring-loaded end and one end that 

contains a cap with a threaded hole and tension clutch.

1. Position quilting machine so the take up roller will pass through arm of the machine. When the take-up roller is secured in 

position, the danger of the quilting machine moving to far forward or off the trolley is eliminated. 
2. Referring to the  photo and diagram, working from the front of the frame, attach the TAKE-UP ROLLER (G ) to frame by first 

holding the spring loaded end in position on the side panel to your left. Insert bolt into hole from outside frame and tighten  

just enough to hold in place securely. Bring the opposite end of roller (the one with the tension clutch) into alignment with  

hole on opposite end of panel. Insert bolt and tighten just enough to hold securley in place.
3. Working from the front of the frame, repeat  above step to attach IDLE ROLLER (F) in place with the spring loaded end on your 

left as you are facing the front of the machine. (Standing in front of the frame, both spring-loaded ends will be on your left.).
4. Tighten all bolts securely.

Attaching the Top Feeder and Bottom Feeder Rollers (H & I) to Frame

The TOP FEEDER ROLLER holds your rolled up quilt top. The BOTTOM FEEDER ROLLER holds 

the rolled up quilt backing fabric. Each roller has a spring-loaded end and one end that 

contains a cap with a threaded hole and tension clutch.

 

1. Referring to the photo and diagram, working from the front of the frame, attach the BOTTOM 

FEEDER ROLLER (I) to frame by first holding the spring loaded end in position on the side panel  

to your left. Insert bolt into hole from outside frame and tighten just enough to hold in place  

securely. Bring the opposite end of roller (the one with the tension clutch) into alignment with 

hole on opposite end of panel. Insert bolt and tighten just enough to hold securley in place.
2. Working from the front of the frame, repeat above step to attach TOP FEEDER ROLLER (H) in 

place with the spring loaded end on your left as you are facing the front of the machine. 
3. Tighten all bolts securely.

Make sure all bolts are tightened securely and your machine moves easily from side to side and 

front to back before attempting to run your machine. For smoothest operation, the machine and 

frame must be level. It is now time to go over the machine operation and care.
