NOTE: Protect your frame
and work surface. To avoid any
damage to your frame parts and
work surface, place a protective
material on the oor or work surface
to prevent scratches and other
damage
1-1: Determine how high you want your table
top. One way to estimate the desired height is to
measure the distance from your elbow to the oor
with your arms bent at the elbow at 90 degrees
and hands in front of you. Next subtract 16 to 18
inches. This will give you the approximate table
top height for comfortable quilting, depending if
you like your table a little higher or a little lower.
The machine’s needle plate is about six inches
higher than the table top. The handlebars will be
approximately six to nine inches higher than the
needle plate. Most are comfortable with their arms
bent at 90 degrees and forearms horizontal, parallel
to the oor when free-motion quilting.
Note: To determine the approximate table
top height: Add ve inches to the height of the
leg assembly to compensate for the bottom tube
height, the leveling foot height and the table top
tube height. The frame will be leveled later on,
which may alter the height slightly.
Step 1: End Leg Assembly
NOTE: Assembly is easiest if all
connections are nger-tightened rst,
as instructed, while assembling the
frame. Tighten with the wrench only
when instructed.
Why is this important? If you tighten
as you go, you may have trouble
getting all the parts to align properly.

SBHCS per leg
Right Rear Leg Upper
NOTE: Height Adjustment
Be aware that there are two rivnuts
inside the leg to facilitate continuous
graduated table top height
adjustment from approximately 28”
to 34”; set both center legs using the
same height rivnut to avoid leveling
problems later on.
