Clean and Oil the Hook
Important: Clean and oil the hook regularly. Every time you change a bobbin, remove lint from the
bobbin case and hook area (see complete instructions below.) Between each quilt project,
thoroughly clean the hook area with the procedure outlined below so that you can have trouble-
free quilting.
With every bobbin change:
Some types of threads, particularly cotton, produce a lot of lint. Lint build-up in the bobbin case or hook
area can cause tension changes and poor stitch quality. Excess lint can also become dirty and could even be
quilted into the quilt. To prevent lint buildup, remove lint from the bobbin case and hook area with
compressed or canned air. Unlike domestic sewing machines, using compressed air is recommended
instead of a trush or vacuum – it will do a better job and will not hurt the machine.
Check for excess lint in the bobbin case/hook assembly area whenever a bobbin is changed.
