Section 3: Attaching Fabric on the Frame Rails
Tools Required:
1- Fabri-Fast Tool
4- Fabri-Fast Tube (Crib or King)
Note: This assembly step is universal for both Crib and King size frames.
Section 3-1: Move the sewing machine back so that the Take Up Rail moves to the rear position. (Fig-
S. 3-1) Unplug the power cords so the Take Up Rail stays in the rear position.
Section 3-2: Pull the Rail Clamp Clip out and twist the Idler Rail Clamp open. (Fig-S. 3-2)
Section 3-3: Attach the Take Up Leader into the Take Up Rail using the Fabri-Fast System. (Fig-S. 3-3)
Section 3-4: Feed the Take Up Leader through the Idler Rail hinged slot. (Fig-S. 3-3)

Section 3-7: Disengage the Clamp Rail Lock Pin and
tighten the Idler Rail Assembly by turning the rail Coun­terclockwise a full rotation. Re-engage the Clamp Rail Lock Pin ensuring the fabric is wrapped on the Idler Rail. (Fig-S. 3-5)
Note: Section 3-7 will make the Quilting Surface at
and taut during quilting while the sliding rail operates.
Sections: 3-2, 3-6, and 3-7 will have to be repeated as
the quilt is rolled up on the Take Up Rail.
Section 3-6: Attach the Backing Leader to the Backing Rail using the Fabri-Fast System and ratchet the remain­ing fabric onto the rail. (Section 1: Fabri-Fast System and Fig-S. 3-7)
Section 3-7: Similarly, attach the Top Leader to the Top Rail using the Fabri-Fast System and ratchet the remain­ing fabric onto the rail. (Section 1: Fabri-Fast System and Fig-S. 3-8)

Section 3-8: The batting can be Fabri-Fasted onto the Batting Rail if the batting is thin, otherwise tape and roll it onto the rail to ease batting management. (Fig-S. 3-8)
Note: The Take Up Rail and Batting Rail have no par- ticular direction of rotation and can rotate both ways without effecting the frames performance.
Plug the power cords back in after the fabric installation has been completed.

Note: This assembly step is universal for both Crib and King size frames.
Section 4-1: Depress the bungee stop that
is built into the Bungee Track System and pass the end of the bungee cord through the bungee stop hole. (Fig-S. 4-1)
Section 4-2: Clamp the Bungee to the edge
of the fabric. Depress the bungee stop while
pulling on the cord end for tension and re­lease when taut to lock. (Fig-S. 4-1)

The Momentum Frame is a unique patented system that allows the user to quilt the same size patterns all the way through the quilt unlike traditional quilting frames. As a quilt is rolled onto the Take Up Rail through
the quilting process, the Momentum Frame automatically moves the completed portion of the quilt that is rolled onto the Take Up Rail forward and back to permit the user take advantage of the entire length of the throat of the machine. For the rst time ever, the maximum pattern size possible for the sewing machine can be quilted from the beginning to end of a quilt without having to plan or compensate for the increasing
size of the fabric roll on the take up rail.
Upon completing the assembly of the frame, plug in the power supply from the Master Control Box and the from the Right Frame End. The system is designed for use with 110-220 AVC power. Using a power strip or surge protector will protect your system from power surges. The red LED light on the Master Control Board and Right Frame Side indicates the system has power. The blue LED light indicates communication between
the circuit boards.
To use the system, set the control knob on the right side of the frame to Fast. Move the sewing machine for­ward and back on the carriage ve or six times to calibrate the system. The Take Up Rail Assembly will move away from the needle as you move the machine back and away from the back of the throat of the machine as you move the machine forward. During calibration the initial rst few movements of each side of the frame may not be immediately even until calibration is complete. The system will gradually calibrate with each movement causing the two sides to increasingly move more and more evenly. Each time the frame is powered on or the speed setting is changed, it will begin the calibration process. After the initial ve or six movements, the system will be calibrated and is ready for quilting.

Trouble Shooting Guide
Sliding Rail not moving: Check if the Speed Control Knob is switched away from stop. The cables to the
Master Board Box, Frame Ends, and Table Structure must be attached correctly in their respective ports.
(Step 8: Bottom Carriage Assembly, Step 15: Wire Connection, and Step 16: Speed Control) There is also a built-in sleep mode when the machine is not in operation. This may need to be reset, which would require the user to unplug and plug the AC Power Supply.
Bungee Clamps: If it is necessary to use the bungee clamps over the batting on your quilt, turn the bun- gee clamps upside down so the rubber grip in the clamp is gripping against the bottom fabric instead of the
batting. Having the rubber grip clamp against the batting is less effective than having it clamp against the
fabric.
Fabric Issues: Do not over-tighten the fabric on the quilting frame. Stretching the fabric will result in a quilt that does lay at when it is nished.
Frame Cleaning: Regularly clean the wheels and track of your carriage and frame. Lint from the batting will build up quickly, causing the carriage not to roll as smoothly if neglected.
