Proper Machine Setup: Environment
Temperature and Humidity-Controlled Environment
Set up/store your machine in a temperature and humidity-controlled environment to prevent
long-term corrosion and to protect the electronics. Don’t keep your machine anywhere you
wouldn’t keep a laptop or desktop computer !
Clean, Protected Electrical Power
grounded outlets: Your machine uses standard 110v household
current. Be sure you connect it to a grounded 3-prong outlet like
the one shown here. This is standard in most U.S. homes and
businesses today, but some older buildings may only have 2-
prong outlets.
Steady Table / Mounting Surface
Your machine will perform better (especially at higher speeds)
when operated on a strong, level and steady mounting surface.
Although on wheels, the optional stand provides plenty of
stability, and even more when the wheel brakes are applied at all
4 corners.
Machine Setup
surge protection: Protect your machine against occasional power
spikes (from electrical storms or electrical wiring problems) with at
least a basic surge protector. The electronics on your machine
can be very expensive to replace. Higher-end surge protectors
and UPS units are able to protect against higher energy strikes,
and often come with a guarantee.

Proper Machine Setup: Upper Thread
General Thread Route
Thread must pass up from cones through guide
holes in thread tree and through every specific
point along the face of the sewing head. Thread
must be “docked” at the thread holder spring.
UPPER THREAD
-Proper Thread Routing: All threads must be
routed correctly at all points along the path through
the sewing head.

Proper Machine Setup: Upper Thread
Upper Tensioner
Thread only makes ½ turn
– make sure it passes to
the left between the 2
metal discs.
Lower Tensioner
Thread makes 1 full turn
clockwise around the base
of the knob – make sure it
runs in the V-shaped
groove of the spoked
wheel.
Thread Break Sensor
Thread this like the upper
tensioner – ½ turn to the left.
Make sure the thread falls in the
groove as shown.
UPPER THREAD – complete route through moving head
-Proper Thread Routing: All threads must be routed
correctly at all points along the path through the sewing
head.
-Practice good thread “Discipline”: After threading
all needles, ensure there is no slack anywhere along
the thread path. Make sure to:
-Pull all threads – to ensure thread feeds
smoothly and turns the break sensor, and all
slack is removed from around thread cones
-“Dock” all thread ends from each needle onto
the thread-holding spring. Prevents thread from
coming loose and catching where not desired.
Take-Up Levers
Thread makes 1 full turn clockwise
around the base of the knob – make
sure it runs in the V-shaped groove of
the spoked wheel.

Proper Machine Setup: Bobbin loading
and Tension check/ adjustment
RE-LOADING THE BOBBIN CORRECTLY
The bobbin will need to be replaced frequently, allowing only 30,000 to 60,000 stitches
per spool. This has to be done correctly every time.
1.Ensure bobbin turns
clockwise. Pull thread
through this slit.
2. Feed thread through
eye at the end of the
tension flap.
3. Pass thread under wire
loop at the top front of
the bobbin case.
•The “yo-yo” test is very exact in checking tension. Perform this quick
check each time you re-load the bobbin. Practice until you are comfortable
doing this.
•Check bobbin tension frequently when changing bobbins.
TAKE CARE TO RE-INSERT THE RELOADED BOBBIN CASE FULLY!
Your machine will not sew any stitches unless this is done. At worst, the
needle & needle bar may strike the side of a poorly-inserted bobbin case,
breaking the needle and possibly putting needle depth out of adjustment
for that needle.
CHECKING TENSION
Machine Setup
Make small adjustments
– no more than a ¼ or
½ turn in either
direction before re-
checking tension.

sewing controls.
CUT cuts current thread and tucks
end into thread holder.
START starts sewing. Bypasses
trace. Sews in “creep” mode when
held down.
FWD advances sewing position
forward while machine is stopped.
STOP stops sewing. Also when stopped
moves sewing position backwards.
Useful after thread breaks.
Needle Select Keys change the currently-selected needle while machine is stopped.
TRACE only traces when design is
at Origin. Does slow trace when
held continuously.
ORG returns the sewing arm and
the sewing position to design Origin
point. Origin symbol re-appears.
Speed control – adjusts
max sewing speed. Sewing arm movement
move pantograph arm with

according to stitch length. Longer stitches
take more time, requiring a slower speed.
