Set frame height
Determine whether the quilng machine is placed on a Portable Professional Frame or an HQ Studio Frame
and follow the appropriate instrucons below.
If you have a Portable Professional Frame
The Portable Professional Frame (Pro-Frame) side arms have three sets of height-adjustment holes. The
ideal seng for the HQ Pro-Stcher is the middle set of holes. This should allow the quilng machine arm
to pass freely under the idler bar while keeping the quilt as close as possible to the arm. Use the 7/16-inch
wrench to adjust the height if necessary. The ideal height allows just the p of a nger between the idler
pole and the machine.
