Troubleshooting
You can correct many problems on your own. If you need addional help, contact your local, authorized
Handi Quilter representave. You can also contact Handi Quilter technical soluons at 1-801-292-7988 or

First check the following:
1 . The AC power cord is properly connected and both power switches are turned on.
2 . Conrm that all cables are properly seated into their connecons.
3. Turn o the machine completely. Wait for at least ten seconds and then it back on.
If the above checks did not solve the problem, refer to the informaon below.
Skipped Stches Correcve Measure(s)
T h e n e e d l e i s d am ag e d , d u l l ,
bent, or installed improperly
• Replace the needle oen, normally once or twice per day for
connuous quilng or at least once per quilt. Use only the
recommended needle system.
• Always change the needle if the needle has struck any hard object
such as a straight pin, etc. The p of the needle can become
damaged or burred, resulng in fabric damage as well as skipped
stches, thread breakage, or shredding.
• Always change the needle if it has been hit, bumped or pulled o
center while maneuvering the machine about the quilt. A slightly
bent needle can be a major cause of skipped stches.
Incorrect needle size • Use the proper size of needle for the work and thread being used.
Some bangs and fabrics used in quilng may constrict or impede
the thread passing through the front groove of the needle. This
diminishes the loop li required for stch formaon. Typically,
a larger needle will solve the problem. However, using certain
smaller sizes of needles and ball pointed needles solve some
specic problems. You will need to experiment to determine which
work best with your combinaon of fabric, thread, and bang.
Fabric is too ght on the frame • Loosen the pole tension on the frame. Fabric that is rolled too
ghtly causes the bers to separate and the fabric to bounce while
quilng. This reduces the needle fricon on the thread, resulng in
a smaller thread loop.
Thread tension too ght • Check bobbin case tension and then check top thread tension. (For
more informaon about adjusng tension, see Bobbin and Bobbin
Tension an d Easy-Touch Tension™ i n t h e Using Your Machine
