Menu

Home is the start window for all of the quilting machine stitch modes.

Stitch Mode

There are 5 stitch mode options; Regulated, Idle, Baste, Manual, Ruler.  

When you press the start/stop icon or press the start/stop button on your 

handles this is the stitch mode your machine will stitch in.  

Easily change the stitch mode by selecting the icon for desired 

stitch mode.

Regulated Stitch Mode

In regulated mode the encoders detect the movement and send a 

signal to the motor to move the needle up and down.  

The quilting machine will automatically speed up or slow down 

based on the movement. When you come to a stop the motor comes 

to a stop and will wait for you to start to move again.  

If you wait past a set amount of time, the machine will turn the stitch 

mode off.  Press and release the start/stop on the 

handles or touch the start/stop icon to begin sewing again.

 

 

Idle Stitch Mode

Idle stitch mode is another stitch regulated mode that will adjust the 

speed of stitching with the movement of the machine. In idle stitch   

mode, when you stop moving the machine the needle will continue 

to move up and down. The machine will continue to stitch in the place   

where it was stopped,  press the start/stop button on the handles or  

touch the start/stop icon on the screen to stop the needle. When in 

the Idle mode, you can also set the speed at which the needle moves     

when you are not moving the machine.
