To Begin Quilting

ThreadRequirements

reads have a tendency to dry rot over a

period of time. Be sure to choose high qual-

ity threads for your valuable heirloom quilts.

Most machine quilting threads on the market

today are acceptable.

NeedleRequirements

For general quilting, a size 16/100 needle will

accommodate most threads and fabrics.

Heavier threads, such as top stitch and some

decorative threads, require a larger needle such

as 18/110 or 20/120. Loy battings and heav-

ier fabrics such as denim, canvas or densely

woven fabric may also require a larger needle.

ToPrepareforQuilting

With any quilting machine, it is important to

understand the basics of free motion quilting.

e Baby Lock Crown Jewel Quilting Machine

does not have feed dogs like domestic ma-

chines; therefore, the fabric does not automati-

cally feed under the hopping foot. e opera-

tor should synchronize the speed as well as

the movement of the machine to get an even,

consistent stitch.

In order to become comfortable with the free

motion of the Baby Lock Crown Jewel, users

can begin with a few “beginner” techniques.

In Manual Mode: Set the machine at a me-

dium speed and begin moving it until you be-

come accustomed to the resistance. By moving

the machine faster, the stitches begin to elon-

gate. e stitch speed can either be increased

or the machine can be moved slower to get the

stitches back to the desired length. By moving

the machine slower, the stitches get shorter

and can build up on top of each other, break-

ing the thread or making it extremely dicult

to unpick. e stitch speed can be decreased,

while maintaining a constant motion with the

machine to bring the stitches back to the desired length.

In Regulated Mode: Set the machine to desired stitch length.

Begin moving the machine to become accustomed to the

resistance. e machine motor will slow down or speed up to

maintain a consistent stitch length according to how quickly or

slowly you move the machine. Moving the machine too fast or

in radical or jerky movements will defeat the stitch regulator

function.

In MANUAL or CRUISE REGULATED mode, when pressing

the “Start/Stop” key on the front or rear handle bars to begin

quilting make certain to begin moving the machine immediate-

ly. If the needle stitches in one place too long, the stitches build

up on top of each other causing a build-up of thread or thread

breakage. When bringing the machine to a complete stop press

the “Start/Stop” key at the same moment the machine stops

moving. If the machine is still moving when the “Start/Stop”

key is pressed, it can cause deection in the needle, possibly

causing it to bend or break.

In PRECISION REGULATED mode, the needle will not begin

moving when you press the “Start/Stop” key until you begin

moving the machine.

When quilting, relax your hands and maintain a light touch on

the handlebars. Gripping the handlebars too tightly may cause

body tension resulting in poor quilting quality. e Baby Lock

Crown Jewel, combined with the Grace Pinnacle Frame system

will give you a smooth even glide.
