Quilting Knowledge Series (Part 3)

How to Solve the Issue of Thread Breakage or Dropping in a Quilting Machine?

First, check if the thread clamp is rusty or has debris. If such issues are found, clean the thread clamp with a cloth. Additionally, push up the optical axis of the quilting machine and check if the distance between the hook tip and the needle is around 2 millimeters. If there is a deviation, adjust the hook left, right, up, or down accordingly. Regular maintenance and cleaning of the equipment are also essential.

How to Maintain a Quilting Machine?

Clean the equipment at the start and end of each work shift to remove debris and dust, ensuring smooth operation of the needle and hook. Regularly lubricate areas with significant wear using machine oil or grease to facilitate smooth high-speed operation. Bearings with oil nozzles should be greased at least once a year to prevent excessive machine wear. Insufficient air pressure or unopened cylinders can cause temporary loss of some functions, so ensure the cylinders are activated before turning on the machine. When shutting down, do not turn off the machine power directly; first, turn off the computer, then the power.
