Installation Instructions

Section 1: Table Top Frame

Tools Needed: 2.5mm hex tool (provided) and measuring tape (not provided ).

1. Lay the parts out as shown. Assemble the table frame using two screws down through the rail at each end into the threaded inserts in the cross bars.
   NOTE: Start all the screws at both ends of the three cross bars before tightening them with the provided 2.5mm hex tool.

2. Repeat this process for the other two cross bars.

3. Tighten the screws firmly with the 2.5mm hex tool.

4. Repeat Steps 1 through 3 for a second table top frame. 10-foot NOTE: If you are using the optional 2-foot extension, repeat Steps 1 through 3 for the one cross bar on the short table top frame.

5. Flip the table top frames upside down and align them together.
   IMPORTANT : Using a measuring tape measure diagonally from one outside corner to the other outside corner. The measurement should be very close to 53″. Repeat the process diagonally across the other two corners. The two measurements should be the same to ensure the top is squared. Sections will be joined with table legs.

Section 2: Leg Assemblies

• Tools Needed: 5mm hex tool

NOTE: The leg assemblies come preassembled at a low height setting.

1. Decide how high you would like the table to be. If different than the lowest setting proceed to steps 2 and 3.
   NOTE: The frame table height can be set from approximately 26″ to 36″ in 2″ increments. The height can also be fine tuned if desired because of the elongated holes.

2. Remove the button head flange screw and nylon washer. Slide the outer upper leg to the desire height. Replace the screw and nylon washer.

3. Fully tighten the button head flange screws with the 5mm hex tool provided.

4. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 for the other leg assemblies.

5. Screw a leveler foot all the way into each end of each leg then back out one quarter turn. This will make it easier to level the table later on.
   NOTE: If you are average height (betweeen 5’4″ – 5’8″ ) set the table height to about 30″-32″. If you are taller or shorter, adjust accordingly

Section 3: Legs to Table Top

Tools Needed: 2.5mm hex tool (provided), square (not provided)

1. Lay out the parts as shown.

2. Push the top sections together.

3. Place four screws with washers through the rail and into the leg with a threaded insert.
   NOTE: Leave the screws loose for now until all screws have been put into place.

4. Repeat Step 2 and 3 on the other side of the leg.

5. Attach the other two leg assemblies.
   NOTE: The outer legs do not mount flush with the end of the rails. Use the inner 2 holes on the leg assembly and 4 screws (2 on each side) to attach the outer legs. The top of the leg will extend beyond the rail. (10-foot has three other leg assemblies.)

6. Using a square, ensure the leg assemblies are perpendicular to the top rail.

7. Fully tighten the screws using the 2.5mm hex tool

Section 4: Corner Braces

Tools Needed: 2.5mm hex tool

1. Lay out the parts as shown.

2. Place a screw and washer through each end of a corner brace.
   NOTE: If you have problems aligning screws to the holes, you may need to loosen the rail-to-leg screws.

3. Fully tighten the brace screws with the 2.5mm hex tool and any rail screws loosened during this process.

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the other seven corner braces (10-foot has eleven other corner braces).

Section 5: Track Supports

Tools Needed: 2.5mm hex tool

1. With the help of a second person, turn the table right side up.

2. Lay out the parts as shown.
   NOTE: On the 8-foot frame, the 36″ track support go on the ends, and the 24″ track support rail goes in the center. On the 10-foot frame, the two 24″ track support meet in the center.

3. Start all the screws in the track supports. Leave them loose now, for adjustment. They will be fully tightened later.

4. Slide the track into the track support until it is flush with the end of the track support

Section 6: Aligning Tracks

IMPORTANT: The two tracks must be straight, parallel, and the correct distance apart for successful quilting.

Tools Needed: 2.5mm hex tool

1. Use the carriage to determine the distance the tracks need to be apart. Place the carriage on the tracks. At this point, the track supports with track insert should be loose, and it should be possible to move them in and out slightly for alignment.

2. Look at the position of the carriage wheels on the track supports and track insert. Starting on one track, align the track support sections to be straight and in about the center of the elongated holes. Fully tighten the screws with the 2.5mm hex tool.
   NOTE: It may be helpful to use a straight edge or laser level to ensure the track supports are straight on the first side.

3. Look at the position of the carriage wheels on the second side track supports and track insert. Shift the track supports in/out until they are straight, parallel, and the correct distance from the first track.
   NOTE: It may be helpful to use a straight edge or laser level to ensure the track supports are straight on the second side.

4. Fully tighten the screws on the second track support with a 2.5mm hex tool.
   IMPORTANT: When the track supports are adjusted correctly, the carriage wheels will be centered over both track inserts on the track supports, and the machine will roll freely the entire length of the table without extra resistance at any particular spot.

Section 7: Horizontal Braces Right and Left

Tools Needed: 2.5mm hex tool

1. Locate the two horizontal Braces Right and Left. They are mirror images of each other. Brace Right is used on the right end and Brace Left is used on the left.
   NOTE: The bottom of the brace has notches to go around the front and rear legs.

2. Place the notches of the horizontal brace right around the legs and the top edge of the support over the top of the legs. Insert the four screws with washers and fully tighten the screws with the 2.5mm hex tool.

3. Repeat the process for the other end of the frame with the horizontal brace left.

Section 8: Narrow Vertical Braces

Tools Needed: 2.5mm hex tool

1. Locate and identify the Right and Left Narrow Vertical Braces.
   NOTE: The Narrow Vertical Braces are not symmetrical, so they need to be placed on the correct side.
   NOTE: This frame can be set up for machines with different throat spaces: 15”/16”, 18”, 18” tall. Please see pages 14, 15, and 16 to see which locator pin position is used for your machine.

2. Place four screws with washers through the Narrow Vertical Brace and into the threaded insert of the Horizontal Brace.

3. Using the 2.5mm hex tool, tighten the screws but leave them a little loose for now. This will aid with alignment of the next two components.

4. Repeat the process on the other end of the frame for the other narrow vertical brace

Section 9: Wide Vertical Braces

Tools Needed: 2.5mm hex tool

IMPORTANT: There are two height settings for the front poles and the front /wide brace. You must decide now the configuration you would prefer for loading your quilt. You can change the position in the future if you wish. NOTE: The back/narrow brace stays the same for both the high and low position settings and does not change. The two settings are High Position and Low Position. High Position Setting: The bottom edge of the quilt top is loaded on the highest front pole. The bottom of this pole is level with the bottom of the idler pole.  The quilt top fabric will come under the pole and stretch toward the back of the frame and basted to the backing and batting already in place. The quilt backing will be loaded on the front pole closest to the front of the frame. The backing fabric will come over the backing pole and under the top pole and stretch toward the back of the frame, going under the idler pole to the take-up pole. This configuration allows for easy access to the bobbin area of the machine. If you will not use rulers for quilting you should choose this setting.

Low Position Setting:

The quilt backing is loaded on the highest front pole. The top of this pole is level with the bottom of the idler pole. The quilt backing fabric will come over the pole and stretch toward the back of the frame, going under the idler pole tothe take-up pole. The quilt top will be loaded on the lower front pole, coming over the top of the pole and over the backing pole, stretching toward the back of the frame and basted to the backing and batting already in place. This is a good configuration when using larger rulers or templates while quilting. If you plan to use rulers for quilting you can choose either setting, however, the low position setting will make using larger rulers easier.

NOTE: If later you should change your mind,it is possible to switch settings, but it does require adjusting the Wide Vertical Braces, and leaders

Tools Needed: 2.5mm hex tool

IMPORTANT: There are two height settings for the front pole. (See previous page.) Images shown on this page are with the High Position on the Wide Vertical Braces Right using the lower set of holes. For the Low Position use the upper set of holes.

1. Identify the two Wide Vertical Braces Right and Left.
2. Using the images for your machine on thefollowing pages, first locate the pin position hole as shown and then place four screws with washers through the Wide Vertical Brace Right and into the threaded insert of the horizontal brace on the right end of the frame.
3. Using the 2.5mm hex tool tighten the screw but leave them a little loose for now. This will aid with the alignment of the next components.
4. Repeat the process on the other end of the frame for the other Wide Vertical Brace Left.

Section 10: Cross Braces

Tools Needed: 2.5mm hex tool

1. Identify the right and left Cross Braces.
   NOTE: The Cross Brace is notsymmetrical so it cannot be used on either side. The bent lip goes to the outside.

2. Place four screws with washers through the Narrow Vertical Brace on the right end of the frame at the rear of the frame. This will simplify placing the screws into the Wide Vertical Cross Brace at the front of the frame.
   NOTE: The Cross Brace should b  straight across the top, not angled, and easily align if the narrow and wide braces are positioned correctly as described in Sections 8 and 9. 3. Align the three holes in the Cross Brace and place three screws with washers into the front Wide Vertical Brace.

3. Using the 2.5mm hex tool tighten the screws fully.

4. Repeat the process on the other end of the frame for the other Cross Brace.

5. Tighten the screws left loose in Section 8 and Section 9.

NOTE: All screws that have been placed into the frame so far should now be tight.

Section 19: Velcro™ and Leaders

Tools Needed: Measuring tape, permanent marker

Applying Velcro to 8-foot pole assemblies

1. Velcro will be attached to 3 poles assemblies. The take-up pole, the backing pole, and the top pole. Working on one pole at a time, rotate the pole so that the snap buttons are facing up.
2. There should be three pieces of Velco about 90 inches long. If not, measure and cut pieces of Velcro into 90-inch strips.
3. Starting from the center and working your way out, adhere the Velcro to the poles. Use the snap buttons and the holes at the far ends of the poles to keep the Velcro strip straight, making sure you are placing the Velcro to one side of the buttons and holes, not over them. Carefully cut the adhesive backing at the center of the Velcro strip, leaving one side of the backing in place as you work on removing the other side and adhering the Velcro to the pole. Expose the adhesive a little at a time as you work from the center to one end, adhering the Velcro to the pole as straight as you can as you go. Repeat with the other side of the pole.
4. Repeat step 3 with the remaining 2 pole assemblies. You’ll have 3 poles with Velcro in total.

NOTE: If done as stated above, your Velcro will be in one piece over the pole assemblies. If at any point you wish to add the optional 2-foot extension to your frame, the Velcro will need to be cut to separate the poles. (Skip to step 8 on the next page.)

Applying Velcro to 10-foot pole assemblies

1. Velcro will be attached to 3 poles assemblies. The take-up pole, the backing pole, and the top pole. Working on one pole at a time, rotate the pole so that the snap buttons are facing up.
2. There should be three pieces of Velco about 90 inches long. If not, measure and cut pieces of Velcro into 90-inch strips. For the 10-foot frame (optional 2-foot extension kit required for the 10-foot frame), there will also be 3 pieces of Velco 2 feet long in the kit box for the 2-foot extension poles.

3. The 2-foot pole should be in the center of the 10- foot pole. The 2-foot Velcro will be placed on the 2-foot poles later on. Cut the 90-inch Velcro in half. It will be a little shorter than the end pole. 4. Align the 45-inch Velcro with the pole end (notthe 2-foot extension pole). Starting from one end  and working your way to the other end, adherethe Velcro to the end poles. Use the snap buttons and the holes at the far ends of the poles tokeep the Velcro strip straight, making sure you are placing the Velcro to one side of the buttons and holes, not over them. Carefully remove the backing on the adhesive a little at a time and adhere the Velcro to the pole as you go, making sure the Velcro strip is as straight as possible. 5. Repeat the above step 4 with the remaining ends of the poles (for a total of 6 end poles with Velcro). 6. Place the 2-foot Velcro strips on the three 2-foot center connecting poles, aligning the Velcro with the Velcro on each end pole. 7. Mark the center of the 2-foot Velcro on each of the three pole assemblies. This will help you center the leaders to the poles later on.
NOTE: If done as stated above, your Velcro will already be cut at the junctions of the pole assemblies. The straighter the Velcro is applied, the easier to apply your leaders later on. Attaching the leaders to the pole assemblies Attach a leader to each of the 3 poles with the Velcro attached. The direction the leaders will roll depends on the setting you chose in Section 9, High Position or Low Position. (See the diagrams that follow.)

8. Fold each of the leaders in half and mark the centers with a permanent marker. Place a mark on both the Velcro edge and the hemmed edge.
9. When attaching the leaders to the Velcro on the pole assemblies, start by aligning the center of the leader with the center of the pole and work toward the ends, keeping the leader as straight as possible and aligning it with the Velcro.
10. The leader on the take-up pole at the rear of the frame attaches at the front of the pole, wraps over the top of the pole, and waterfalls to the back. This is the same for both position settings.
11. The leaders wrap differently on the two front poles (top pole and backing pole) for the 2 different settings. High Position: On the pole closest to the front (backing pole), attach the leader at the front of pole and wrap over the top of the pole so that it waterfalls to the back between the 2 poles.

Low Position: On the 2 front poles, attach the leader at the front of pole and wrap over the top of the pole so that it waterfalls to the back.

Section 20: Bungee Side Clamps

Tools Needed: None

1. There is one bungee for each end of the frame. Remove the cord lock and place the side clamp bungee cord through one of slits on the cross brace on each end of the frame. Replace the cord lock.
2.  Place the clamp on the quilt backing and adjust the cord lock as desired. Bungees should be straight but not stretched

Section 21: Loading the Quilt

Tools Needed: None

1. Start with the backing fabric. Find the center of the bottom edge of the backing and match with the center of the Backing pole leader. You marked the center of the leader when you installed it with the Velcro (Section 19). The wrong side of the fabric should be facing up.
2. It is helpful to drape the backing fabric over the take-up pole as you pin the bottom edge tothe backing pole leader. Match the raw edge of the fabric with the edge of the leader and pin together. Use long, sturdy quilting pins and insert the pins parallel to the edge of the leader, about 1/4 inch away from the edge. Place the pins about 1/2 inch apart.
3. Start pinning at the center and work your way to one side, being careful not to stretch the fabric. Return to the center and work your way to the opposite side.
4. Once the bottom edge is pinned in place, make sure the ratchet stop is engaged and roll the fabric around the pole, smoothing gently as you go.
5. The top edge of the backing fabric gets pinned to the take-up pole leader in the same fashion, matching center of fabric to center of leader. Make sure the leader travels under the leveller pole before getting pinned to the top of the backing fabric.
6. Find the center of the bottom edge of the quilt top. The right side of the quilt top should be facing up.
7. It is helpful to drape the quilt top over the take-up pole as you pin the bottom edge to the top pole leader. Pin the quilt top to the Top pole leader in the same way you pinned the backing.
8. Once the edge is pinned in place, make sure the ratchet stop is engaged and roll the fabric  around the pole, smoothing gently as you go. The top edge of the quilt top will get basted in place to the backing and batting.
9. Consult the diagram to determine the correct pole and the direction of rolling for each of your pieces. If you engage the ratchet stop before rolling, you will always roll in the correct direction.
   NOTE: Consult the diagram to determine the correct pole and the direction of rolling for each of your pieces. Make note of the setting that you chose in Section 9.

TIP: If you engage the ratchet stop before rolling, you will always roll in the correct direction. Refer to the diagram in Section 9.

Section 22: Changing the Pole Position Setting

Tools Needed: 2.5mm Hex tool

1. Remove the 2 front poles by pressing the snap button on the ratchet side and sliding the pole out of the pole support. Then press the snap button on the other end so that you can slide the pole out of that pole support. Set poles aside.
2. Work on the non-ratchet side first. Remove the 3 screws that hold the Cross Brace to the Wide Vertical Brace.
3. Remove the 4 screws that hold the Wide Vertical Brace to the Horizontal Brace.
4. Refer to Sections 9 and 10 for information about the two pole position settings. Locate the set of holes for the setting you want. For the High Position use the lower set of holes. Re-attach the Wide Vertical Brace to the Horizontal Brace using the holes for the desired setting. For the Low Position use the upper set of holes.
5. Replace the screws to attach the Cross Brace to the Wide Vertical Brace.
6. Repeat steps 2 through 5 for the ratchet side .
7. When changing the pole position setting, you must change the middle ratchet stop. Refer to Section 13 to attach the middle ratchet stop for your setting. The other two ratchet stops will remain the same.
