Quilting
Using the Handlebar Controls
When first powered up, the machine is in regulated precise quilting mode (see page 41) and can
start quilting right away. Please take a moment to review the handlebar controls. These controls are
used when quilting. While in the Settings menu, some buttons have a different purpose or do not
function (see “Choosing Machine Settings” on page 27 for details).
Note:
Left-handed quilters may prefer to reverse these buttons. This can be done in the Settings
menu (see “Choosing Machine Settings” on page 27).
