Congratulations! You have completed Part One of this manual.
If you’re setting up QuiltMotion on a quilting machine that is not yet
assembled:
- Complete the steps in Part Two of your machine’s instruction manual.
- If your machine manual is not broken into parts, follow the directions to install and align the machine wheels. Then continue onto Part Two of your QuiltMotion manual.
If you are installing QuiltMotion with a fully assembled quilting machine or a domestic sewing machine on a fully assembled top plate, continue to Part Two of your QuiltMotion manual. If you will be using a domestic sewing machine and you have not yet assembled your top plate, do so now. Then continue onto Part Two of your QuiltMotion manual.
Product Information
The SR2 Frame is a quilting frame designed for use with the QuiltMotion system. This frame allows the QuiltMotion to move horizontally across the frame. The frame comes with a long belt that needs to be tensioned across the frame for proper functioning of the QuiltMotion system. The frame comes with various parts and tools required for tensioning the long belt.
Product Usage Instructions
- Attach the SR2+ QM Belt Bracket to the right side of the frame using two M6 x 10 mm SBHCS and the 4 mm Allen wrench. Use the small holes on the bottom of the bracket.
- Attach the tensioner to the larger holes in the SR2+ QM belt bracket using two M6 x 10 mm hex bolts and two M6 hex nuts. Tighten with the 10 mm open-end wrench.
- Place the bottom carriage on its right side on the frame. Do not align the wheels with the tracks at this time.
- Cut the tape that is holding the long belt coils together and unroll several inches of each end of the belt.
- Attach the other SR2+ QM Belt Bracket to the left side of the frame using two M6 x 10 mm SBHCS and the 4 mm Allen wrench. Use the smaller holes in the bracket.
- Use the two M6 x 20 mm SBHCS to attach the front belt clamp, long belt, and back belt clamp to the bracket.
- Secure the clamp in place using two M6 hex nuts and the 10 mm open-end wrench.
- Feed the other end of the long belt into the top of the belt tensioner on the right side of the frame.
- Turn the ratchet knob to pull the extra belt length through the tensioner until the belt is tight across the frame. Turn the locking knob to lock it in place.
- Once the belt is tight, slide the bottom carriage across the frame. Watch the belt closely for any bowing. If the belt is bowing, use the 10 mm open-end wrench to loosen the bolts that attach the clamp and tensioner to the brackets. Adjust the clamp and tensioner on the bracket until the belt is straight and then re-tighten the bolts.
- Align the machine wheels and continue onto Part Two of your QuiltMotion manual.
