To change the hopping foot
1 . Remove the foot that is on the mount by using
the 2.5mm hex wrench to loosen the mounng
screw far enough that you can slide the foot o
o f t h e m o u n t .
2 . Slide the desired foot onto the mount. Note
that the opening on the side of the foot is lined
up with the screw hole. Push the foot up as far
as it will go.
3. Fully ghten the screw with the 2.5mm hex
wrench.
 NOTE: Before threading the needle, test that the machine is threaded properly and the tension is
correct by carefully pulling the top thread. It should pull smoothly with light to medium tension. If
thread pulls freely with no tension, rethread the machine, ensuring that the thread is ossed into
t h e t e n s i o n d i s c s .
 IMPORTANT: The Innity does not have a presser foot lever or top tension release like a home
sewing machine. On a home sewing machine the top tension is released when the presser foot is
raised, allowing the thread to come freely out of the machine. When a home machine is threaded
the tension discs are released and open to allow the thread to easily fall between the tension discs.
This isn’t the case with the Innity quilng machine. The top tension is always ght and the tension
discs are never open. Therefore the thread must be pulled up, or ossed, between the tension discs
or it will stay outside the discs and oat without tension, causing serious tension problems and/or

Bobbin and Bobbin Tension
The Innity quilng machine uses M-class bobbins that are larger than sewing machine L-class bobbins.
The larger bobbins enable you to quilt for a longer me between bobbin changes.
The Innity also has a low-bobbin alarm. For more informaon about the low-bobbin alarm, see
