(D) Presets
Save up to two preset speeds to quickly switch between
speed preferences. For example, you may prefer a slower
speed when using rulers and a faster speed when doing all-
over meandering.
Use the “+” and “–” buttons to adjust the speed percentage
and then press the
Record
button next to one of the
preset values to store that speed as a preset. To use one of
the preset speeds, simply press the speed.
(E) Basting Mode In Manual Operation
The Regent has a basting mode that causes a stitch to be
formed at a specified time interval – every 0.5 second, 0.75
second, 1.0 second, 1.5 second, or 2.0 seconds. Touch the
basting icon to activate basting mode. Then press the “+”
or “–” button to set the time interval for the basting stitch.
Press the foot pedal to begin quilting. The Regent will take
a stitch (needle down and then needle up) at the specified
interval. Coordinate how quickly you move the quilt
sandwich with how quickly the machine takes a basting
stitch. Experiment with the various speed options along
with moving the quilt to find which of the settings work
best for you to position the basting stitches on
your quilt.

(F) Quick-Set Tension
The tension box on the Main Screen shows the current
tension setting as a numeric value. As the tension dial is
turned clockwise to tighten the top tension, the number
increases in increments of five. As the tension dial is
turned counter-clockwise to loosen the top tension, the
number decreases in increments of five. The faster the dial
is turned, the faster the numbers increase or decrease.
After setting the bobbin tension, test the top tension by
stitching on a fabric scrap on the edge of the quilt batting
and backing. Increase or decrease as needed until balanced
tension is achieved. Make a note of the thread type
(weight, brand, color) and the tension value to quickly and
easily set the tension when this same thread is used again
in the future.
