tracks at one end of the table. Roll back and
forth along the length of the table, establishing
the distance between the tracks, taking care to
check that the wheels are engaging the track
on both the front and the back of the carriage.
Move both tracks in tandem to the back of the
table as far as possible. (Slots in the table allow
this movement – if you have not tightened the
screws too tight.) Double-check that the back
track is straight along the back edge of the
table. Fully tighten the screws in the back track
only for now.

Short-Bolt Ratchet-Wheel Assembly
11-8: Check the short-bolt ratchet wheel
assembly to ensure that it matches Fig. 11-6.
11-9: Loosen the nut at the end of the short-
bolt ratchet wheel assembly until it nearly
reaches the end of the bolt.
11-10: Holding onto the outside of the pole
end, push the nut end of the bolt towards the
opposite end of the assembly until the inside
pole end short-bolt wedge slides out (in similar
fashion to Step 11-3). This makes the outside
diameter of the outside pole end smaller and
ready to be inserted into the end of the pole
assembly.

11-17: In same manner, slide the longbolt ratchet wheel assembly and hand wheel
assembly into the open end of the remaining
pole assembly and while holding the complete
assembly tightly into the open end of the
pole, tighten the lock nut, using the 17/13mm
wrench. Check to be sure the hand wheel
engages the ratchet wheel assembly and does
not spin loosely and that the 3 tabs of the
outside pole end align with the 3 holes in the
ratchet wheel. This completes the take-up
pole (Fig. 11-9).
11-16: Repeat Steps 11-14 and 11-15 to
complete the quilt-top pole. Set both poles
aside (Fig. 11-9).

(1) backing pole
(1) take-up pole
(3) hook & loop tapes QF00665
Tools Required
measuring tape or ruler (not provided)
scissors (not provided)
NOTE: Take care to stick the hook & loop
tape on straight. This step will determine how
well your quilts load in the future. Use the
Spring Coupler snap buttons as a guide when
aligning the hook & loop tape for best results.
16-1: Prepare to attach the Velcro to the quilt
top pole, backing pole, and take-up pole, by
measuring in 3-inch from each end of the pole.
Peel the backing off the hook & loop tape as
you go and apply to all three poles, starting
at the 3-inch mark and ending at the opposite
3-inch mark. Take care to stick the hook &
loop tape on straight. This step will determine
how well your quilts load in the future. Use the
spring buttons as a guide when aligning the
hook & loop tape for best results. Hint: Attach
the hook & loop tape next to the snap buttons,
not between.
Once the hook & loop tape has been adhered
from one end of the poles to the other, it can
be clipped where the poles meet at the
pole coupler.

Steps 17 & 18
Attach Leaders
Adjusting Frame Height and Leveling
Step 17: Attach Leaders
Parts needed
(1) frame assembly with hook & loop tape
applied to Poles
(3) leaders (sold separately BLQL)
17-1: Mark the center of the leaders on both
the hook & loop tape and the hemmed edge.
Mark the center of the quilt top pole, backing
pole and take-up pole with a permanent
marker.
17-2: Beginning in the center, align the marks
and attach the leaders to the hook & loop tape
on backing pole and the quilt top pole so the
marked sides of the leaders hang to the center
between the poles.
Beginning in the center, align the marks and
attach the remaining leader so it falls to the
back of the take-up pole.
Ensure that the height-adjustment screws
in each leg are in the same slot and fully
tightened. The rough height setting is done at
the slots in the legs and the ne adjustment
is done at the leveling glides at the bottom of
each leg. The 16mm/10mm wrench is designed
to t the leveling glide.
18-2: Double-check to make sure the frame is
level. Using a spirit level, check and adjust the
frame top to be level in the place where it will
be used, both front to back and side to side,
by adjusting the leveling feet. Double-check
the table top frame to ensure that it is at at
the splice braces and not sagging or high at
the joints. If no spirit level is available, check
the table with machine on the carriage and the
tracks. When the table is level, the machine
should stay where you put it and not roll
forward, back or side to side.
Step 18: Adjusting Frame Height
and Leveling
18-1: Adjust the frame height so that when
standing at the front of the machine with your
hands on the front handle bars, your elbows are
bent at a 90 degree angle. It is recommended
to have a second person lift the frame weight
off the height adjusting screws when you need
to make a height adjustment.
