Set frame height
Determine whether the quilng machine is placed on a Portable Professional Frame or an HQ Studio Frame
and follow the appropriate instrucons 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 seng for the HQ Pro-Stcher is the middle set of holes. This should allow the quilng 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.
