HQ Sweet Sixteen User Manual
The HQ Sweet Sixteen has a color touch-screen display on
the front of the machine. Settings are changed using this
display.
Main Screen Button Functions (Figure 18)
Pedal Status
The status of the foot pedal connection is displayed in
the top left corner of the Main screen (Figure 18). If the
foot pedal is not properly connected the message “Check
Pedal” will appear in red letters. Once the pedal is con-
nected properly the word “Pedal” appears in that space in
black letters.
On/Off Indicator
The box in the center of Figure 19 indicates whether or
not the motor is running. It will be red when the ma-
chine is stopped and green when the foot pedal is pressed.
Current Speed
The box in the top right of Figure 19 is the current per-
centage of full speed the machine is running. The value
displayed will vary as you press and release the foot pedal.
The maximum percentage value that is displayed is con-
trolled by the Limit that is set for the machine.
Limit Controls
The Limit box encompasses two main features, the “My
Speed” controls and Preset buttons. The My Speed
controls consist of “+” and “-” buttons and the white My
Speed display box (Figure 20). Pressing the “+” button
will increase the maximum motor speed the pedal con-
trols. Pressing the “-” button will decrease the maximum
speed.
The My Speed range is between 5 % and 100 % or be-
tween 75 and 1500 stitches per minute (SPM). The cur-
rent percentage My Speed value is displayed in the white
box under the “Limit” text. This My Speed setting will be
preserved when the machine is shut off, allowing you to
begin quilting again at the same speed when you turn the
machine back on.
