Hello all

Finally got my long arm frame and machine set up today! Woot!!!

I have the Hinterberg stretch frame with a Voyager 17".

I have a question about setting the machine onto the carriage. I had thought that the carriage would be marked, or notched or something to indicate "machine sits EXACTLY here" ... but it's just a big blank flat piece of wood. My machine seems to barely fit front to back, all four feet on the bottom of the machine are not entirely on the carriage. Also, how do I know I have it EXACTLY centered side to side ... and is it necessary (I'm thinking yes it is). I had thought there would be something to hold the machine to the carriage ... but no. Should there be???

I bought my set up used and I've looked all over the net and could not find anything. The manual simply states "place the machine on the carriage". Is it really just that simple?? Am I over complicating it????

Hoping to get a test quilt loaded tomorrow and put my new toy ... errrr ... tool through it's paces.

Thanks!
