8 - screw M6x12 SH ange
Tools Required
5mm Allen wrench (provided)
4mm Allen wrench (provided)
17/13/16 wrench (provided)
NOTE: Protect your frame
and work surface. To avoid any
damage to your frame parts and
work surface, place a protective
material on the oor or work surface
to prevent scratches and other
damage
1-1: Determine how high you want your table
top. One way to estimate the desired height is to
measure the distance from your elbow to the oor
with your arms bent at the elbow at 90 degrees
and hands in front of you. Next subtract 16 to 18
inches. This will give you the approximate table
top height for comfortable quilting, depending if
you like your table a little higher or a little lower.
The machine’s needle plate is about six inches
higher than the table top. The handlebars will be
approximately six to nine inches higher than the
needle plate. Most are comfortable with their arms
bent at 90 degrees and forearms horizontal, parallel
to the oor when free-motion quilting.
Note: To determine the approximate table
top height: Add ve inches to the height of the
leg assembly to compensate for the bottom tube
height, the leveling foot height and the table top
tube height. The frame will be leveled later on,
which may alter the height slightly.
Step 1: End Leg Assembly
NOTE: Assembly is easiest if all
connections are nger-tightened rst,
as instructed, while assembling the
frame. Tighten with the wrench only
when instructed.
Why is this important? If you tighten
as you go, you may have trouble
getting all the parts to align properly.

Rear Leg Lower
The lower leg is
xed to upper leg
with one M8 X 16
SBHCS per leg
Right Rear Leg Upper
NOTE: Height Adjustment
Be aware that there are two rivnuts
inside the leg to facilitate continuous
graduated table top height
adjustment from approximately 28”
to 34”; set both center legs using the
same height rivnut to avoid leveling
problems later on.

Step 1: End Leg Assembly (continued)
1-2: Slide the left rear leg upper down
over the rear leg lower to the desired
height and insert the M8x16 screw
into one of the two holes that best
corresponds to your desired height.
Fully tighten this height screw now to
maintain the desired height.
1-3: Identify the top beam for the
left and right side legs, which have
different inside rivnut hole locations.
The side with the most rivnuts goes to
the inside of the frame.
1-4: Place the left upper beam above
the vertical rear leg assembly and the
lower leg beam below and insert the
four M8x16 SBHCS screws. Align the
back edge of the bracket with the end
of the upper beam and lower beams.
Finger tighten the screws only for now.
1-5: Thread the levelers into the
bottom of the lower beam about half
way. This will facilitate leveling the
frame later. Use the 17/13/16 wrench
if needed to adjust the levelers.

NOTE: When a screw goes into a
slotted/elongated hole the normal rule
is for the slotted hole to be centered
on the screw if possible.

Step 1: End Leg Assembly (continued)
1-6: Identify the outer side bracket
right and outer side bracket left.
Two of each bracket are used on the
outside of the leg assembly. On the left
leg assembly the left bracket is used
on the top right and bottom left and
the right bracket is used on the top left
and bottom right.
1-7: Place the brackets into place
and align three M8 x16 SBHCS screws
into each of the top brackets and
two screws into each of the bottom
brackets.

through the bracket into the
top beam, and two screws
into the upright beam. Align
the center of the elongated
hole with the screw. Finger
tighten the screws only for
now.
1-11: Place the lower gusset
bracket on top of the lower
leg beam and insert two
M8x16 SBHCS screws into the
lower beam and one screw
into the upright beam. Align
the center of the elongated
hole with the screw. Finger
tighten the screws only for
now.
King Quilter Frame Assembly 13
Step 1: End Leg Assembly (continued)
1-12: Turn the leg assembly
to access the outside of the
leg assembly. Place an M6 x12
large washer head screw thru
each bracket into the gusset.
There are four screws going
through four brackets into the
gussets. The gussets have
rivnuts to accept the screws.
Finger tighten the screws only
for now.
1-13: Repeat steps 1-1
through 1-12 with the right
leg parts for the right leg
assembly.
14 King Quilter Frame Assembly
Step 2: Table Assembly
NOTE: For this step, a carpeted
surface is recommended for the
protection of your oor and frame.
If you are working on a hard surface
(such as tile, hardwoods or concrete),
cover the surface with a blanket or rug.
Parts Needed
3 - table sections
12-foot: three 4-foot sections
10-foot: two 4-foot sections a
one 2-foot section
4 - table splice brace
24 - M8 x 16mm SBHCS
Tools Required
5mm Allen wrench (provided)
2-1: Prepare the three table sections
by removing the two track support
screws from each track support. Set
the track supports aside. These will
be reinstalled in Step 5. These were
assembled on the table temporarily to
protect them during shipping.
NOTE: Skip Steps 2 and 3 if
you are setting the frame up at four
feet. The 12-foot frame uses a 4-foot
center/middle table section. The 10-
foot frame uses a 2-foot center/
middle table section.
2-2: 12 foot: Start with two 4-foot table sections upside-
down on the oor, end to end. 10-foot: start with one
2-foot and one 4-foot table sections upside-down (black
plastic table top down) on the oor, end to end. Join the
sections together by placing a table splice brace onto the
sections, lining up the holes in the brace with those in the
sections. Make sure the ange portion of the brace is on
top (as shown).
2-3: Place four (4) M8 x 16mm SBHCS through the side
of each table splice brace and nger-tighten them into the
table sections.
2-4: Finger-tighten two (2) SBHCS through the top of each
table splice brace (as shown).
2-5: Repeat Steps 2-1 through 2-3 to add remaining
4-foot section. Important: For the 10-foot frame the 2-foot
section goes in the center.
2-6: Pull the two table sections as close together as
possible to remove the gap. (This will facilitate assembly of
the center legs in Step 3.)
2-7: Using the 5mm Allen wrench, tighten the four side
screws on each table splice brace until the brace touches
the side of the table frames, and then loosen the screws
½ turn.
2-8: Tighten fully the two (2) top screws on each table
splice brace using the 5mm Allen wrench. Now fully tighten
the 4 screws on the side of each table splice brace. All 24
screws should now be tight.
King Quilter Frame Assembly 15
Parts Needed
1 - table assembly
2 - middle legs
4 - leveling feet
8 - M8 x 16mm SBHCS
1 - yard stick or tape measure (not
provided)
Tools Required
5mm Allen wrench (provided)
17/13/16 wrench (provided)
3-1: Install two (2) leveling feet about
half way into one center leg.
3-2: Measure to determine where the
screw should be placed to achieve
the same desired height as the left
and right leg assemblies and insert
and fully tighten the center leg height
screw.
Step 3: Center Leg to Table Assembly
NOTE: If
instructions were
carefully followed
in Section 2, there
should be minimal
gap between the
table sections
where the
sections meet.
The center leg(s)
should align with
the rivnuts in the
end of the table
sections.
3-3: Place the center leg assembly
over two joined table sections and
align the leg holes with the table
rivnuts. Attach the center leg assembly
using four (4) M8 x 16mm SBHCS.
3-4: Fully tighten the four (4) screws.
3-5: Repeat Steps 3-1 through 3-4
to attach remaining center leg.
NOTE: Measure from the
underside of the table top frame, to
the bottom of the tube on the center
leg, to conrm the center legs are the
same height as the right and left leg
assemblies.
Measure Here
16 King Quilter Frame Assembly
Step 3: Center Leg to Table Assembly (continued)
NOTE: On the 10 foot frame there
is only one center leg assembly. It is
mounted to the table left to right at the
top bracket and the bottom beam runs
front to back as shown.
King Quilter Frame Assembly 17
Step 4: End Leg to Table Top Assembly
NOTE: Have an
assistant hold the frame
in position as you start
the two inside M6x50mm
screws with large fender
washer rst. Then put in
the two M8x16mm screws.
NOTE:
Place a block
under this corner
of the table top
assembly.

1 - right leg assembly
2 - front gusset bracket
12 - screw M8 x 16mm SBHCS
4 - screw M6 x 50mm Large washer hd
4 - washers, M6 large fender type
Tools Required
5mm Allen wrench (provided)
4mm Allen wrench
small wood block, about two inches
thick (or two small 2x4 blocks)
4-1: In preparation for attaching the
left and right leg assemblies to the
frame, turn the frame on its side with
the help of another person.
4-2: Lift the left end of the table
assembly up and place a small block
of wood about 2 inches thick under
the table top assembly edge. One
2x4 is not enough, but two could be
used. This will help align the screws
between the leg assembly and the
table assembly.
4-3: Slide the left leg assembly next
to the end of the table assembly.
4-4: Insert and start two M6 x 50
screws through the leg assembly into
the table top assembly, taking care
to start the screws straight into the
rivnuts in the table top assembly.
Ensure that the screws are well
started, but do not tighten them
until the M8 x 16mm screws are also
inserted and started.
NOTE:
Finger-tighten
screws only
until all screws
are in place,
they will be
tightened after
the table is
turned up right.
See Step 4-10.
NOTE: It may be necessary to
shim the table top a little differently
in order to align the screws with the
rivnuts. Your assistant may need to
hold the table top up vertically to be
nearly parallel with the oor.
4-5: Place the two M8 x 16mm screws
through the top of the leg assembly
into the table assembly. Finger tighten
the screws only for now.
4-6: Tighten fully the two long M6
x 50mm screws with washers rst,
then loosen them one turn. Tighten
the two M8 x 16mm screws fully. Now
fully tighten the two long M6 x 50mm
screws.
NOTE: After tightening the two
screws in step 4-6, ensure that the
table assembly is tight against the leg
assembly. There should be minimal, or
no gap between the two pieces.
4-7: Repeat Steps 4-2 through 4-6
for the right leg assembly.
Step 4: End Leg to Table Top Assembly (continued)
NOTE:
Make sure all
height-adjustable
legs measure
the same
height before
proceeding with
Step 4-10.
King Quilter Frame Assembly 19
Step 4: End Leg to Table Top Assembly (continued)
4-8: Measure the two end leg
assemblies at the front and rear
and the two center leg assemblies
to ensure they are the same height
from the bottom of the table top
tube to the bottom of the bottom leg
tube near the oor. Adjust heights
as necessary and tighten the height
xing screws.
NOTE: The frame will be
checked for being level later on with
the machine and carriage, after the
frame track supports are assembled.
4-9: Check to see that the left and
right rear leg assemblies are parallel
to the front vertical beams and
tighten the screws that can move
forward and backward. Normally
they will be close to the center of the
elongated slot.
20 King Quilter Frame Assembly
Step 4: End Leg to Table Top Assembly (continued)
4-10: Measure between the back
beam and the center of the screw
on the vertical beam at the bottom
and the top to determine if they are
the same distance and parallel. If
necessary loosen the four screws in
elongated slots at the two bottom
brackets and adjust the bottom of the
vertical beam. When parallel tighten
the four screws.
Note: four screws in elongated
slots hold this position on the bottom
brackets. Normally the screws will
be located close to the center of the
elongated slot.
4-11: Measure the distance at the
rear of the frame and at the front of
the frame between the upper beam
and the lower beam to ensure they
are the same distance and parallel.
If not loosen the three height
adjustment screws at the bottom of
the vertical beam (one inside and two
outside) and adjust the vertical beam
up or down until the height at the
front matches the height at the rear.
