Artistic Quilter SD-16 User Manual
TruStitch for Artistic Accessories
Two Accessories are provided with the TruStitch for
Artistic to give the quilter more flexibility in quilting.
Magnet
1. The Magnet allows you to quilt “hands-free” without
holding onto the Controller through the quilt sandwich.
Place the Controller on the table, just outside of where you
wish to place your hands. Place the Magnet on top of the
Controller and on the top of the quilt sandwich (Figure 15).
Free-motion quilt as usual while keeping your hands close
to the Controller. The Controller will move with the quilt
sandwich, regulating your stitch length.
WARNING: If the quilt sandwich is extremely soft,
you may not be able to use the Magnet, because the
Controller won’t be able to follow the motion of your hand
if the fabric sandwich buckles between your hand and the
Controller. Most quilt sandwiches are stiff enough to allow
you to use the Magnet.
Coaster
1. The Coaster allows you to quilt close to the edge of the
quilt without losing stitch-regulation.
Attach the Coaster to the edge of the quilt sandwich using
the two clips. The clips were designed for one-handed
action. Place the Coaster on the table, press on both clips
at the same time with one hand. Use the other hand to
slide the quilt edge into the clips, then release the clips
(Figure 16).
Free-motion quilt as usual while keeping your hands close
to the Controller. The Controller will move with the quilt
sandwich, regulating your stitch length.
WARNING: If the quilt sandwich is extremely soft, you
may choose to fold the edge of the quilt sandwich to
stiffen it slightly.
