Machine Quilting Tip: Getting started with Manual Mode
Set the machine at a medium speed (such as 900) and begin moving it unti l you become
accustomed to the resistance. By moving the machine faster, the sti tches will begin to
elongate. Either increase the sti tching speed or move the machine more slowly to get the
sti tches at your desired length. When you move the machine more slowly, the sti tches get
shorter. If you move it too slow, sti tches can build up on top of each other, break the thread,
or make it extremely diffi cult to unpick. Decrease the sti tching speed, while maintaining a
constant moti on with the machine, to bring the sti tches to the desired length.
Sti tch Regulati on
Sti tch regulati on maintains a consistent sti tch length (sti tches per inch) regardless of how quickly or slowly
you move the machine.
Machine Quilting Tip: Getting started with stitch regulation
Set the machine to your desired sti tch length. Begin moving the machine to become
accustomed to the resistance. The machine motor will slow down or speed up to maintain
a consistent sti tch length according to how quickly or slowly you move the machine.
Moving the machine too fast or in radical or jerky movements will defeat the sti tch
regulator functi on.
Machine Quilting Tip: Quilting speed while in stitch-regulation mode
It is unlikely that you will move the Plati num Q|165 across the quilt too fast. However, if you
do, it will result in an overspeed conditi on if the machine can’t maintain sti tch regulati on.
There are two sti tch regulati on modes: Cruise and Precision.
