Track Assembly
7-3: To prepare for joining the sections
together, screw one M5x8mm QF09318-304
into the third hole from the splice end of each
section to serve as a stop screw. (Figs. 7-1,
7-2) Fully tighten the screw with the 3mm
Allen wrench. This will help align the coupler
properly into the two track support sections
when joined.
7-4: Insert a coupler into one prepared end of
one track support section up to the stop screw.
Thread an M5x8mm QF09318-304 into the rst
and second hole and lightly tighten as shown
in Fig. 7-2.
Parts needed
(1) frame assembly
(4) track support
(2) track support couple

7-1: Place the four (4) track supports, removed
earlier, on the frame assembly top with the
screw holes up and the wide lip of the supports
facing the outside of the table.
(Fig. 7-1)

supports for burrs or debris and remove all
foreign matter from the inside.

Insert the other end of the coupler into second
prepared track support section. Hold the two
adjoining track support sections tightly together
and thread an M5x8mm QF09318-304 into
the rst hole of the second track support and
lightly tighten. You may need to gently rock
the track support to seat the coupler. Insert the
second screw into the track supports, align and
tighten. Once aligned, fully tighten all M5x8mm
QF09318-304.
7-5: Insert a plastic track completely into one
side of the aluminum track supports (Fig. 7-3).
The plastic track should slide into the track
support easily. If a plastic track binds slightly,
try backing it out a little, then try pushing it
further. If the plastic binds badly, check the
track supports for debris, burrs, misalignment
or damage. In same manner, insert plastic track
in other side of track support.
7-6: Repeat Steps 7-2 through 7-5 to make the
second track.
7-7: Attach Tracks. Secure one assembled
track to the back of the quilting frame. Line up
the track support by holding it tightly against
the plastic table top as you secure it to the
frame, using six (6) M6x12mm QF09318-303
as shown in Fig. 7-5 and Detail 7-5 on next
page. Do not tighten screws at this time. They
need to be loose to accommodate adjustments
in the next step. In same manner, attach the
remaining track support to the front of the
frame using six (6) M6x12mm QF09318-303.
NOTE: The extrusions have a wider
shoulder on one edge of the track. This
shoulder is to be placed toward the inside of
the table over the edge of the black plastic
tabletop. (Fig. 7-4)
7-8: Align Tracks. Place the carriage on the
tracks at one end of the table. Roll back and
forth along the length of the table, establishing
the distance between the tracks, taking care to
check that the wheels are engaging the track
on both the front and the back of the carriage.
Move both tracks in tandem to the back of the
table as far as possible. (Slots in the table allow
this movement – if you have not tightened the
screws too tight.) Double-check that the back
track is straight along the back edge of the
table. Fully tighten the screws in the back track
only for now.

7-9: Place the machine onto the carriage and
again, roll it the entire length of the frame,
working the tracks into the wheels as you go.
Lightly tighten the front track support screws as
you move down the table. Check the carriage
to verify that it rolls smoothly and that both
ends of the carriage are engaging the tracks.
If you nd a section of track where the carriage
rocks back and forth when the machine is
moved all the way forward or back, loosen the
front track support screws, adjust the front
track until the carriage rolls smoothly and does
not rock, then re-tighten the front track screws.
7-10: Finally, fully tighten the front track
screws to the table.

Step 8
Ratchet Stop Assembly
8-3: Following the parts order shown in
Fig. 8-1, thread one M6 x 48mm QF09318-204
through a ratchet-stop, ratchet-stop bushing,
pole bracket (with ratchet-stop holder inserted)
and nally into the ratchet-stop mount. Pay
close attention to the orientation of the ratchet-
stop. Tighten with the 4mm Allen wrench
until the ratchet-stop-holder nub holds the
ratchet-stop.
8-4: In same manner, attach the remaining
ratchet-stops and ratchet-stop catches to the
front of the pole bracket, paying attention to
the orientation of the ratchet-stops (Figure
8-1, Details 8-1a, Details 8-1b and 8-1c)
to create the right pole bracket.
Parts needed
(1) open-hole pole bracket (right)
(3) M6x48mm socketed washer head
cap screw QF09318-204
(3) ratchet-stop
(3) ratchet-stop bushing
(3) ratchet-stop mount
(3) ratchet-stop holder
Tools Required
4mm Allen wrench (provided)
8-1: Identify the open-hole pole bracket
(right bracket) and the plugged-hole pole
bracket (left bracket). Set the plugged-hole
pole bracket aside at this time. (Fig. 8-1)
8-2: Place one ratchet-stop catch between the
two metal pieces at the back of the open-hole
pole bracket, with the stop nub facing inside,
as shown in Fig. 8-1 and Details 8-1a,
8-1b, and 8-1c found on the next page.If the
ratchet-stop holder will not t, loosen the two
bearing screws nearest the square hole. Slide
in the ratchet-stop holder and re-tighten
when nished.

Tools Required

17/13mm wrench (provided)
9-1: Slide the left pole bracket assembly down
over the support rail on the left frame side
front. The pole bracket should straddle the
support rail. Attach the pole bracket assembly
using two M8x25mm QF09318-06.
Thread the screws through the center
hole of the pole bracket and the top hole
of the support rail from the outside to the
inside of the frame (Detail 9-1).
Step 9
Pole Bracket Assembly
The Baby Lock Kinetic Quilt Frame pole
brackets have 2 sets of 3 mounting holes to
attach them to the support rails. The center
hole in the 3 holes is normally the optimum
position to install the pole brackets. This hole
normally lines up with the top hole in the
support rails. The support rails have 2 sets of
2 holes for mounting the pole brackets. The
top hole is to be used when using the Baby
Lock Regalia standard carriage and the
bottom set of holes is to be used when using
the Pro-Stitcher carriage. The extra 2 holes on
the pole brackets are for adjustment of the pole
brackets, up or down. The pole bracket can be
adjusted 7/16” up or down from the center hole
if needed. On the end of each screw, slide a at
washer followed by a lock nut, as shown
in Detail 9-1.
9-2: Visually level the pole bracket assembly
and fully tighten the two screws with the 13mm
wrench and 5mm Allen wrench.
9-3: Repeat Steps 9-1 and 9-2 to attach the
right pole bracket assembly, making sure the
ratchet stops are on the inside of the frame.
