1. General Observaon of the Front Frame Cover, Mast and Hand Wheel
The following observaons, accompanied by
necessary adjustments, will ensure trouble-free
thread passage. Failure at any of these points will
signicantly aect thread tension.
Check:
1. The thread mast should be adjusted so that the
eyelet loops are centered directly over the spool
pins.
Note: The thread mast has two lile balls that fall
into detents/holes when aligned. These help keep the
eyelet loops aligned over the center of the spool pins.
If a correcon is necessary: Loosen the screw on the
boom of the thread mast. Make sure both detent
balls are in their locater holes, rotate the enre
thread mast by turning the vercal mast support
unl the top eyelet loops are directly over the spool
pins. If the thread mast is too ght inside the bracket,
remove the screw, push the mast out of the bracket
unl you can rotate the eyelet loops to be directly
over the pins while the detent balls are in their locater
holes. Reghten the Phillips head screw rmly into
the boom of the thread mast support. (#2 Phillips
screwdriver)
Check:
2. Make sure that a gap of 1.0 mm to 3.0 mm exists
between the frame and the hand wheel. (Note:
The hand wheel screw is inside the front cover and
cannot be seen from the outside of the machine,
therefore it can only be adjusted with the front
cover removed.)
If a correcon is necessary:
(Usually this would only be necessary if the hand
wheel is rubbing, has an extreme gap or is loose.)
Remove the front cover (see removing front cover),
loosen the hand-wheel set screw, posion the hand
wheel and re-ghten the set screw. (3 mm handle hex
tool)

3. Check/Inspect: Test the condion of the thread
guides, the takeup/check spring, the take-up
lever, the thread srrup and the needle bar
thread guide. Check for any abrasions, cuts, or
electroplang blistering. Test each guide by ossing
it with thread, le to right and front to back in all
direcons, checking for any sharp defects that may
damage or cut the thread. Replace any damaged
parts.

Cauon: Make sure the machine is unplugged from
the wall before removing the machines front cover.
1. Loosen the small set screw on top of the front
cover (posion A) Rotate the 3-hole thread guide
to allow access to the frame screw behind it, then
re-snug the screw so the guide will not become
misplaced. (2 mm handle hex tool)
2. Remove the three smaller circled frame screws
near the needle (3 mm handle hex tool)
3. Remove the other 10 front cover screws. (4mm

5. Swing the front cover away from the rear casng,
starng at the front needle end of the machine,
and hinging from the hand wheel end of the
machine.
6. Before removing any cables from the control board
properly ground the machine and put on a ground
wrist strap.
7. Carefully remove the following 7 cables from the
control board: control board red/black power
cable, main sha encoder cable, motor driver
board cable, two handle bar cables, remote power
cable, and light ring cable. Note: the tension cable
remains connected to front cover with the control
board.

upon sewing for eight hours of machine me.
If the machine is used less, lubricate the
hook less frequently. Aer the lubricaon
of the hook, it is recommended that one
momentarily sew on scrap material before
resuming the sewing of the quilt. Failure to do
so may result in oil stains on the quilt.
3. Lubricaon

4 Checking and Securing Flats and Screws
Figure 4.1
Figure 4.2
The Quilt Maker Pro 18 VERSA has been designed using ats and special screws to help prevent loop li ming from
slipping, except at the hook. (If the hook cannot slip then something has to break when something goes wrong. The
hook is designed to be adjusted without removing the front cover.)
First check the torque specicaons chart on page 5,
then check the following locaons, making sure that
the rst screw of a med component has been xed
rmly on the respecve at on the sha:
1. The Pitman crank (Figure 4.1) (# 5 at screwdriver
2. The take-up lever driving link, (Figure 4.1) (3 mm
handle hex tool)
3. The main sha ming pulley (Figure 4.3) (2.5 mm
handle hex tool)
4. The hook-sha ming pulley (Figure 4.5 on page
13) (2.5 mm handle hex tool).
Note: The screws are generally posioned 120 degrees
apart. When the rst screw (Posion 1) has been
located and ghtened on a at, the second screw is then
ghtened, compounding the ghtness of the rst screw,
thus securing and assuring that ming will not change.
Note: The main-sha thrust collar has been replaced with
a brass counterweight which is no longer located on a at.
Note: It is important to check that the brass counterweight
ghtening procedure did not create a ght arm sha
condion. If so, readjust the counterweight again unl
there is no ghtness and minimal-to-no end-play. This is
checked by rotang the sha and checking a few mes
through a full 360° rotaon of the sha.
Counterweight Timing
Set counterweight ming as follows.
First Pitman screw up, edge vercal and aligned with
lier arm. At this posion, the counterweight chamfer
(the bevelled edge) always goes to the le side next to the
bearing and the slit is straight down with screws on boom
straight out at you (Figure 4.2).
The counterweight has a slit and can be adjusted. It is not
set on a at for ming.

Tools needed: (2.5 mm handle hex tool)
Note: The hook-sha ming pulley rotates the
opposite direcon as the main sha ming pulley.
Carefully note the labeled rst screw (Figure 4.5).
Note: The hook-sha collar does not have a at.
The at is located on the hook-sha ming pulley
rst screw.
Important Hook-Sha Notes
The hook-sha turns two mes per stch and rotates
in the opposite direcon as the main sha. Please
carefully note which screw is the rst screw in the
direcon of moon and on the at.
The hook-sha pulley is set to a specic seng from
the end of the sha to allow proper needle-to-hook
distance adjustment. Adjust the collar to remove axial
play, not the hook-sha pulley, or the seng can be
thrown o, which may make it so needle-to-hook
distance cannot be adjusted.
The QMP 18 VERSA ulizes long collars with two
screws in line to help prevent the collar from pping
when ghtened, causing variaon of ghtness or
play, as the collar rotates 360º. To ensure that there
is no ghtness or play, the collar should be checked
through a full rotaon unl it has minimal ghtness
and minimal play.
4. Checking and Securing Flats and Screws - Connued
First Screw, First Posion Rule
The rst screw or rst posion is almost always*
located 120° apart in the direcon of rotaon from
the second screw or second posion. The rst screw
in direcon of rotaon goes on the at. (Figure 4.4)

5. Axial Play Check and Adjustment
Axial or end play on shaing can result in noise, wear
and faulty sewing.
Check:
1. Check the main-sha by pushing and pulling on
the hand wheel. (Figure 5.1) Note: A small amount
of main sha axial play is permissible. Too much
main sha play, however, may cause noise and or
stching issues.
Remove play here
Test le to right
If a correcon is necessary:
• Remove the front cover.
• Loosen the counterweight screws
(3 mm handle hex tool) (Figure 5.2).
• Adjust so that minimal to no play is detected.
• Provisionally set the screws.
• Check that the sha has minimal play and no
ghtness from the collar being too ght by
rotang the sha through a few 360o rotaons.
• Check that the ming of the eccentric is sll
correct (see counterweight ming Secon 4 page
12, gure 4.2.
• Fully ghten the screws.
• Check sha again for play or ghtness.
2. Check the hook sha by pushing and pulling the
hook as shown in (Figure 5.3).
If a correcon is necessary:
• Remove the front cover.
• Remove the play by loosening the hook-sha
thrust collar (not the hook-sha ming pulley)
and adjusng out any axial play (Figure 5.4). Note:
There is no at for the hook-sha thrust collar.
• Check for proper seng by rotang sha through
a few 360o rotaons.

6. Adjusng the Base-Plate Feet
Figure 6.1
Figure 6.2
Tools required: (5 mm handle hex tool)
Check:
1. The base plate must be adjusted so that the rubber
feet will sit at on a planed surface. Note: This is
done on a precision surface plate at the factory
during assembly.
If a correcon is necessary: Thin shim washers may be
used as shown in (Figures 6.1 and 6.2).
Page 16 Quit Maker Pro 18 VERSA
7. Adjusng the Motor Drive/Timing Belt Tension
The Quilt Maker Pro 18 VERSA machine ulizes a
single motor drive/ming belt system.
Tools required: 3 mm handle hex tool, 0. 5 mm feeler
gauge, 8 mm open end wrench Tools required: 4 mm
handle hex tool
Check: With the machine front cover removed. Check the belt
tension for tautness by pressing it with the index nger (Figures
7.1–7.2). Press the vercal center of the belt with approximately
2 lbs of pressure. The belt should deect about ½”. Proper
belt tension provides for some belt exibility under light nger
pressure, but should not be so ght as to bind the machine.
Double-check the tension by rotang and rocking the hand wheel.
Conrm that there is no backlash or play between the belt teeth
and any of the driven components. Conrm also that there is an
immediate transfer of moon to all components driven by the
belt, from the handwheel to the hook.
Important: Do not over-ghten the belt as this will make the
machine too ght, the handwheel more dicult to turn, create
more belt noise, and also cause other undesirable issues.
If a correcon is necessary:
• Insert a 4 mm handle hex tool through the hole in the main
frame casng (Figure 7.2). Loosen the socket-head belt tensioner
screw. Adjust the belt tensioner by pressing down on the
tensioner and while holding down on the tensioner re-ghtening
the belt tensioner screw
(Figure 7.2).
• Note: This adjustment can only be made with the front cover o
so the tensioner can be pressed down to set proper belt tension.
Important: Do not aempt to set belt tension with the front
cover on as improper belt tension will result.
Important Note: Ensure that the special washer with step is
down into the tensioner bracket slot and at, not lted, when
ghtened, so the tensioner will not slip, resulng in a loose belt
(Figures 7.3-7.6).

Janome-America.com Page 17
8. Adjusng the Hopping Foot Adaptor
The Quilt Maker Pro 18 VERSA features the “KineQuilt”
hopping mechanism, allowing the hopping foot to move
(hop) up, down and dwell on the fabric when the needle
is in the fabric.
This allows fabric to move through the machine similar
to a normal sewing machine with a feed dog. The dwell
me allows for a longer hesitaon of the hopping foot
on the fabric and compleon of the stch cycle. The
results are beer tension, less needle breakage and
increased hook life.
The factory default for the boom of the presser bar,
without a hopping foot or mount adaptor, should be 1.5”
above the needle plate when the needle is in the lowest
posion.
Check:
With the hopping foot mount adaptor screwed into the
presser bar 13 tuns there will 6 or 7 threads exposed
below the foot adaptor jam nut. Check the number of
exposed threads below the jam nut to conrm it has
about this number. If it does not have 6 or 7 exposed
threads, this will alert you that someone has adjusted
the adaptor in or out. This may cause too much or too
lile tension on the internal presser bar spring.
Important: If there is improper spring tension on the
presser bar the result will be stch problems, including
skipped stches.
Important: Check and adjust this if necessary before
adjusng the presser bar height internally on screw C in
the next secon.
Adjust if Necessary:
Tools required: 8 mm open end wrench
1. Aach the hopping foot to the foot mount adaptor.
This helps you align the foot to the needle in the nal
step. Important: to prevent needle plate damage make
sure the foot does not touch the needle plate when
rotang the foot.
2. Loosen the jam nut with the 8mm open-end wrench.
3. Screw the mount adaptor unl there are 6 or 7
exposed threads below the jam nut when ghtened.
4. While holding the foot rmly, ghten the jam nut
while making sure the hopping foot ring is centered on
the needle.

9. Adjusng the Presser Bar Height (Internal Adjustment)
Tools: 3mm Handle hex tool, 0.5mm feeler gauge
Important: Make sure the hoping foot adaptor was
set correctly in the previous secon before doing this
step.
Check
When the needle bar is in its lowest posion, the
hopping foot should be no higher than 0.5mm above
the needle plate. It is permissible for the hopping foot
ring to lightly touch the needle plate.
1. Turn the handwheel unl the needle bar is at its
lowest posion.
2. Place the 0.5mm feeler gauge (part# QM40133)
under the hopping foot with the printed edge up.
3. Loosen screw C through the machine front cover
access hole.
4. Wiggle the presser bar up or down to the desired
posion.
5. Tighten screw C while pushing down lightly on the
tool blade toward the table while ghtening. This
ensures that the hopping-block mechanism contacts
the appropriate liing lever and eccentric inside the
machine.
6. Conrm the ring of the foot is centered on the
needle when the screw is ghtened.
Warning: if the jam nut is not properly ghtened the
hopping foot may become loose and be hit by the
needle causing serious machine problems.

GD
The needle posion adjustment is the most important
of all adjustments in the machine. Needle posion
provides the foundaon for which all other sengs
are made.
Once the needle posion has been completed, great
care must be maintained to keep this seng. It is
important that the sewing machine be transported
carefully, so as to not allow bumping or dropping.
Check:
• Use a new System 134/Size 100 needle. Check the
needle for straightness on a at surface such as the
needle plate. The needle must be centered in the
stch hole of the needle plate as shown in (Figure
10.1.) 2 mm and 3 mm handle hex tool
Check with needle eye ush with the needle plate,
not with the needle in the lowest posion.
Adjustment for Y axis: Cover O
Note that adjustment is done with the front frame

If a correcon is necessary:
• Loosen rst screws D and G (Figure 10.2)
• Loosen screw A and screw B (Figure 10.2)
While pushing the head frame back into the main
casng, gently slide the head frame le or right to
correct as necessary.
• Tighten screws A and B in Figure 10.2.
Note: If needle posion changes, repeat the process.
Do not ghten screw D or G at this me.
