Go to Mega Quilter website and they have a print out list, they also have a site like this for owners of mega quilters. Make sure you roll the layers in the right direction, don't have the layers too taut when you quilt. sew from left to right, if you have a stitch regulater make sure wheels are in contact with frame, have you leveled the frame? dull needle should be changed, and some thread won't work on the top. Breathe when you are stitching.
