Height Adjustment
When quilting with thick fabric or batting layers, the hopping foot may press down on the quilt
too tightly and begin to drag. Alternatively, having the hopping foot too high can result in skipped
stitches. The hopping foot can be raised or lowered to correct these problems.
To adjust the hopping foot height, take the following steps:
Part Four | Maintaining the Machine
4. Lower the hopping foot until it rests on the
height tool. Re-tighten the hopping foot
screw with the 3 mm Allen wrench.
1. Move the machine so it is not over fabric.
Then use the hand wheel to drop the
needle bar to the lowest position.
2. Use the 3 mm Allen wrench to loosen, but
not remove, the hopping foot screw.
3. Slide the hopping foot height tool (shown
in blue) underneath the hopping foot with
the needle inside the slot.
Note: The height tool prepares the
machine for standard sized quilt batting and
two layers of fabric. For thicker quilts, stack
sheets of printing paper over the gauge to
increase room underneath the hopping foot.
