Quilt Menu 7.1
The features available within the
Quilt
menu are all
related to the actual quilting of designs. While any of
the sub-menus within the
Quilt
menu are selected, a
Run
button is available to start the stitching process.
Stitch
The
Stitch
sub-menu gives quick access to the most
commonly used settings in case they need to be
adjusted before stitching a design
(
Figure 7.1
)
.
Tie
Off
and
Pullup
settings are available here and are
explained in detail in the
Settings
section of this
manual. There is also a
Stitch
button along the
bottom of the screen. The
Stitch
button should be
selected in most circumstances. However, if a quilter
wants the HQ Pro-Stitcher to run through the
design without actually stitching, press the
Stitch
button to disable it. If the
Stitch
option is turned off,
the
Tie Off
and
Pullup
options will also be turned
off. If either the
Tie Off
or
Pullup
options are
selected, the
Stitch
button will also be automatically
selected.
Status
If a quilter wants to know how far into a design
the machine has stitched, select
Status
and then
press the
Run
button at the bottom of the screen.
This displays the current design line segment being
stitched as well as the distance traveled
(in inches)
(
Figure 7.2
)
. The distance information may be
useful in determining how much thread the design
has used. The line segment information also may be
useful during a
Pause
situation if the quilter needs
to scroll back to a specific line within the design to
resume quilting from that point.
