Low Bobbin
The Quilt Maker Pro 18 Versa includes a
low bobbin alarm to esmate how soon the
bobbin thread will run out. This low bobbin
capacity is based on an esmate of how much
of a parcular thread can t on a bobbin, in
combinaon with other quilng factors such
as tension, stches per inch, and how much
bobbin thread is used to pull up and e o when
beginning and ending quilng.
To esmate how much thread is on a bobbin,
place a full bobbin in the machine, press the red
Record buon “A”, and quilt as usual.
When the bobbin runs out, press the top le
buon to Stop Recording. Note the number that
is indicated under the Bobbin Thread Capacity
“B”. Use the “–” buon to reduce the number
by 15 to 20 so the alarm will sound before the
bobbin runs out. Save the reduced number as
one of the Bobbin Thread Capacity Presets “D”.
Make a note as to which type of thread the
preset represents.

BUTTON ICONS:
A = Record/Stop
B = Bobbin Thread Capacity
C = New Bobbin
D = Save Preset
E = Set Alarm
F = Preset Value
Put a new bobbin with the same thread into the machine and press the New Bobbin buon “C”. Then
press the Alarm buon “E”. As you quilt, the remaining bobbin thread value will esmate how much
thread remains on the current bobbin, and when you reach the capacity value, an alarm will sound
warning that the bobbin is nearly out of thread.
When operang in manual mode, the low bobbin funcon assumes stching at approximately the last SPI
seng on the regulated screen. If the SPI seng was below 8 stches per inch, the funcon will assume
you will quilt at 10 stches per inch. It is advisable therefore to set the stches per inch, on the regulated
screen before you change to manual mode.
Three Bobbin Thread Capacity preset values can be stored – one for each of three dierent types of
thread. Simply go through the record process with a full bobbin of that type of thread and then store
the capacity as a preset. Press the corresponding preset buon “F”, insert a full bobbin with that type of
thread, and press New Bobbin buon to start.
