1. Check that the stitch size is the desired length (small, medium, or large).
• Press the up button on the handlebars to increase the stitch length.
• Press the down button on the handlebars to decrease the stitch length.
2. Check the needle stop position indicator to see if the needle will stop in the up or down
position when stitching is inactive. To change the needle stop position, hold down the needle
up/down button on the handlebar for three seconds.
3. Position the quilting machine over the quilt where you would like to baste.
4.
Press the start/stop quilting button on the handlebars to begin stitching. Move the machine
across the quilt to place the stitches. Moving too quickly for the machine’s stitch length will
cause a beeping alarm to sound and the over-speed indicator to turn red. This alarm can be
disabled in the Preferences menu (see page 48).
Note: When quilting, the Start/Stop indicator will read
STOP
to let you know that stitching
is active and that if you press the start/stop button on the handlebars, stitching will stop. When
stitching is not active, the start/stop indicator will show
START
