Pfaff QUILT ARTIST II, Manual

 26

Time out:

 When the motors are locked, this is the time in 

seconds they will stay locked for.  NOTE: If your machine 
is moving, this timer resets until it detects the machine no 
longer moving, then the timer starts counting from 100 
again.  Every time the machine is moved, this timer will 
reset until the machine stops again.

E Stop:

 E Stop is a protection in place to ensure if any-

thing is in the way of the machine’s movement, that the 
machine will stop.  The default value is a good tested 
value, but this may be adjusted up to make the system 
more robust.  NOTE when adjusting up, if the needle is 
ever stuck in the fabric and the robot goes to move, you 
may break the needle or tear your fabric, be cautious when 
adjusting this number.

Margin:

 This will set an area from the edge of your 

pattern box towards the center that your pattern will not 
extend past.

Jump Stitch:

 When 2 patterns are on the screen and your 

end point of 1 and start point of 2 aren’t in the same place, 
the machine will move from point 1 to point 2 without 
stitching.  Adjust this number to the length of jump stitch 
you fi nd acceptable.  For example, with jump stitches set to 
“0” it will always ask you to cut the thread.  If you want it 
to jump stitch up to 6” automatically (without asking to cut 
the thread), and any jump stitch above 6” it will ask you to 
cut, set your jump stitch to 6”. 

Acceleration

 determines how quickly your robot will 

move in and out of the corners.  Think of this as the mini-
mum speed your robot will run, if set to max it will really 
“jump” out of the corners.  If set to the min it will “creep” 
out of the corners.  Factory setting is medium (5)

Curvature: 

 When going around a curve this is how 

quickly the system will go around the curve.  The higher 
the number the faster it will go, the lower the number the 
slower it will go around the curve.

Lead line:

  This is the speed your machine will move to 

the start point of the pattern.  This is separate from the max 
speed, the lead line has  it’s own speed.

Increment: 

 In the “move” feature, you can move the pat-

tern in set increments using the arrow keys at the bottom of 
the screen.  This increment will apply to how far the pat-
tern moves every time you touch one of the arrows. 

Test tab

 can be used to test left/right movement and front/

back movement.  This will ensure all motor functions are 
working properly.  

Confi guration:

  This is only for factory use.
