Ready Set Quilt!
Posted by sabrina on May 7, 2013
I recently purchased a Quilt pattern from a designer on the internet. How do I get it into my Quilt Magician?
Turn on both your Tinlizzie18 and Quilt Magician systems!
You need to download the design from your computer to an USB stick (2g) is the best but, higher will be fine. Now insert the USB into the left side of your Quilt Magician and wait for it to be found should not take but a few seconds.
- The USB Options screen will appear, close, restart and File Manager are on your screen, choose File Manager
- Touch USB as your source, then touch the blue button/with file on it, a list of what’s on the USB will appear. Choose the design by its file name (exp:JMPANTO11C .dxf) it will highlight then touch OK at the bottom of screen.
- Next choose your Destination: Internal, and touch the blue button at the right of CopyTo: at this point you may make a new folder for design to go or choose one of the existing files exp:Projects,sets,etc…)
- If you choose to make a new Folder the keyboard screen will appear, type the name of your file and press OK. The new file will be at the very end of the design list. Now press copy and the design listed in Filename: will copy into the new file you named. When task is complete a square box will be on your screen telling you the File COPIED. Press OK

We are so excited to see so many of our quilting friends and make new ones. We are thrilled to share our new vision with all regarding our new TinLizzie18 Retail Centers designed with you in mind. We will be offering in home delivery/ setup, service, and continuous education just a few of the many perks to purchasing through our retail centers.
When we began to open the Retail Centers we had the vision to build a strong quilting community. We still have that vision but our vision and drive is even stronger now after spending time with our customers in a few of our training session held in WI, FL, UT with more locations to come. We were able to get to know our little community and how exciting to watch as it has already began to grow. We are excited to offer training from basics to advanced. We look forward to a successful 2013 Quilting Year!

Why doesn’t my Screen display show how much bobbin is left?
Posted by sabrina on September 13, 2012
In simple terms, there are too many variables that are required to get the calculation of how many wraps it takes to fill the bobbin. There are several different threads that are available for long arm machines. There is Bottom Line, So Fine, Specialty, Nylon, Metallic, 100 percent Cotton, Poly Wrapped Poly, Poly Wrapped Cotton, the list goes on and on. These threads vary in different thicknesses and weights, such as 25, 30, 40 and so on. There is no way of measuring how many yards of that thread is wound onto the bobbin in order to enter that yardage into the system in order to keep track of the amount that has been expended off the bobbin during the quilting period. For example, a thin thread will wrap more yardage compared to a thick thread on the bobbin. Tension also adds a factor, a loose wound bobbin compared to a tighter wound bobbin will change the yardage.

Proper Oiling……
Posted by sabrina on August 21, 2012
Every morning my machine seems to have leaked a little oil on my table. What can cause this?
The first question our service department will ask is “how often are you oiling your machine?”
If your answer is after every quilt. You may be over oiling your TinLizzie18 machine.
To properly oil your TinLizzie18 Quilters we have a dip stick located in the base of the quilter head. After removing the Dip stick it is black and hard to see if it has oil on it. I always suggest rubbing the dip stick across the palm of your hand, If you see oil on your hand your machine does not need oiling.
I have heard customers state that even though there was visible oil on their hands they felt the dip stick was not completely saturated therefore they see reason to oil. This will cause over oiling and leakage onto your table. Let me explain how the Dip stick is to be used to determine if we need to oil.
When we oil our TinLizzie18 Quilters we are oiling the wick within the quilter.
The Function of the Dip stick: The dip stick sits on top of the wick within the quilter. It is designed to help show us that the wick within the quilter is properly oiled. Therefore the dip stick is not what needs to be saturated with oil but only the tip of the dip stick needs to be wet with oil.
