Quilting
Using the Handlebar Controls
When first powered up, the machine is in precise regulated quilting mode and can start quilting right
away. Please take a moment to review the handlebar controls. These controls are used for quilting
and navigating the menus on the display.
Note: Left-handed quilters may prefer to reverse these buttons. This can be done in the Preferences
menu (see page 48).
1. Menu: Press to go to the Main Menu screen. The Main Menu provides access to the other
quilting modes and the Tools menu.
2. Back: This button goes back to the previous menu.
3.
Needle Up / Needle Down:
• Press and release to cycle the needle to the up or the down position.
•
Press and hold for three seconds to change the default needle stop position. Powering off
the machine will clear the changes made to this setting and the needle will default to the up
position once the machine is turned back on.
4. Start/Stop Quilting or Select: When pressed in regulated quilting mode, baste quilting
mode, or manual quilting mode, the machine will begin or stop stitching. While in the Main
Menu or the Tools menu, this button selects the highlighted option.

length, depending upon the quilting mode.
