To use the Pro-Stitcher simulation mode
If running the simulation mode on the Pro-Stitcher tablet computer, you may switch between simulation
mode and regular mode. However, when running Pro-Stitcher on a standalone Windows computer, it only
runs in simulation mode.

To run Pro-Stitcher simulation mode on the Windows computer, simply start Pro-Stitcher.
When Pro-Stitcher is running in simulation mode, a
Sim
button (for simulation) appears in the upper right
section of the screen and the
Follow
button is removed.
When the Sim button is selected, the mouse and the keyboard arrow keys simulate moving the quilting
machine to do things such as zoom, pan, or create areas. The other button function as normal. Simply
select them with the mouse.
1. Ensure the Sim button is selected (appears dark green) at the top right of the screen.
2. Use the arrow keys or mouse to simulate moving the quilting machine.
NOTE
: Hold the shift key while using the arrow keys for faster cursor movements. You can also hold
the left mouse button and drag the mouse and the cursors will move along with the mouse.
To verify settings before quilting
• Press the button next to Verify Settings Before Quilt to have Pro-Stitcher display a pop-up box with
all of the current settings. This gives you the opportunity to verify that everything is set up properly
before stitching. If you don’t want to see this box, disable the button.
Communications Options
The Communication sub-menu enables you to manually establish communications with either the quilting
machine or the Pro-Stitcher motors.
