1. Determine the area that is to be filled in one of two
ways.
A. Enter the height and width (in inches) of the area
to be filled in the appropriate boxes using the pop-up
number pad.
B. Use the quilting machine to measure the area to
be filled. Move the quilting machine to align the
needle with the bottom left-hand corner of the area
to be filled and press the “Reset Home” button at
the top of the screen to zero out the X and Y meas-
urements. Then move the quilting machine to the
top right-hand corner of the area to be filled. The
“Height” and “Width” boxes should now indicate the
measurements of the area to be filled.
2. Enable the motors by pressing the button at the
top right-hand corner of the screen to toggle from
“Motors Disabled” to “Motors Enabled.” This will
hold the machine steady so the measurements don’t
change during the next steps.
3. Enter values in the “Distance Apart” boxes (if
needed), as described in the “Repeat” section.
4. Select the “Point to Point” option if desired as
described in the “Repeat” section.
5. Press the “Repeat Both” button to process the
repeats (
Figure 28
). The Pro-Stitcher will fit as many
repeats of the original pattern within the defined area
as it can without stretching the pattern. There will
most likely be left-over areas at the right and bottom
of the pattern that will not be filled because further
repeats would be too large for the designated area as
shown in
Figure 29
.

As with the previous “Repeat” function, the repeated pattern will now be treated by the
HQ Pro-Stitcher as a single pattern.
(
Within Area.jpg
) This function allows the user to define the width and height of an area to be
filled and the Pro-Stitcher determines how many repeats of the pattern will fit within that area.
The area must be larger than a single instance of the pattern. The pattern will not be skewed or
cropped to fit within the area defined.
•
Determine the area that is to be filled in one of two ways.

Press the “Repeat Both” button to process the repeats (figure 27). The HQ Pro-Stitcher
will fit as many repeats of the original pattern within the defined area as it can without
stretching the pattern. There will most likely be left-over areas at the right and bottom
of the pattern that will not be filled because further repeats would be too large for the
designated area as shown in figure 28 (Luke, figure 28 is the drawing you see here
below).
•
If the user only wishes to repeat in width, there is no need to enter anything in the
“Height” box. Simply enter the desired width in the “Width” box and press the (
Repeat
Width.jpg)
button (figure 29). The same can be done for repeating only height using the
(
Repeat Height.jpg
) button.
