4. Position the quilting machine over the quilt. If needed, use the needle jog buttons to move the
needle closer or further from the fabric in small increments to help place your first stitch.
• Press to move the needle up or down in small increments.
5. The over-speed indicator shows in green when stitching is active, and in gray when it is not.
Press the start/stop quilting button on the handlebar to begin (activate) stitching. Move the
machine across the quilt to place stitches. Keep the pace slow and even; moving too quickly
can prevent stitch regulation. If this happens, a beeping alarm will sound and the over-speed
indicator
on the display will turn red. Alarm can be muted in the Settings menu (see page
27).
Note: While stitching is active, the stitch button on both the display and handlebar controls
are disabled.
6. The bobbin level indicator can be used to estimate the amount of thread remaining on a
bobbin. For instructions on using the bobbin estimator, see page 49.
• When the icon is green, the bobbin is estimated to be between 21% and 100% full.
• When the icon is yellow, the bobbin is estimated to be between 11% and 20% full.
• When the icon is red, the bobbin is estimated to be at under 10%.
7.
To inactivate stitching, press the start/stop quilting button on the handlebars. The needle will
move into the needle stop position
indicated in the Settings menu (see page 27).
