SureStitch - Operation Instructions

Note:

 When the 

SureStitch is in the “on” 

mode, the sewing machine 

WILL BEGIN TO STITCH! 

When you stop moving the 

machine, it will continue to 

stitch at the sewing machine’s 

minimum speed until you 

press the off button. This 

feature ensures the machine 

will maintain as consistent a 

stitch length as possible with 

the intial movement of the 

machine. 

On/Off Button:

 The On/Off button activates/disables the regulated stitch feature of the SureStitch. When 

the regulated stitch is active, the green LED light directly above the button will be lit. In regulated mode, 

your sewing machine will automatically adjust the speed that it stitches based on how fast you move your 

sewing machine around on the quilting frame.  If you move your sewing machine too fast, it will reach its 

maximum stitch speed, and no longer be able to stitch fast enough to keep a constant stitch size.  The green 

LED above the On/Off button will turn red when your sewing machine has reached it’s maximum stitch 

speed.  When the LED above the On/Off button is lit red, your stitches will be longer than your set size.

Pulse Button:

  When the Pulse button is pushed your sewing machine will sew at a constant speed, until 

the button is released.  Use the Pulse button to tie off a stitch, or to sew at a constant, non-regulated speed.

Stitch Length Buttons:

  Use the Stitch Length buttons to adjust how long your stitches will be while using 

the regulated stitch mode. The LED display directly above the Stitch Length buttons displays your current 

Stitch Length setting. You can set the Stitch Length from “1” to “10”, indicated by “0”, the stitch length 

setting does not  indicate “Stitches per inch”, but will be consistent based on your sewing machine.  The 

Stitch Length setting will be set to “5” every time you turn on the SureStitch.
