Using the Handlebar Controls
When first turned on, the machine starts in regulated precise quilting mode and can start quilting
right away. Please take a moment to review the handlebar controls used when quilting. While in the
Settings menu, System Information screen, or Screen Settings
menu, some buttons have a different
purpose or do not function (see page 27 for details).
Note: Left-handed quilters may prefer to reverse these buttons. This can be done in the Settings
menu (see page 27).
