Getting started with Pro-Stitcher
To move the quilting machine after the software has been loaded
• To move the quilting machine after the software has loaded, the motors should be disengaged. Use
the options on the Freehand screen to alternate between computerized quilting and free-motion
quilting. Select the Pro-Stitcher tab, then press the orange gear icon. When the icon becomes
purple, the carriage gears will be disengaged from the Flexirack.
• To use Pro-Stitcher for computerized quilting again, select the Pro-Stitcher tab, then press the
purple gear icon. When the icon becomes orange, the carriage gears will be engaged with the
Flexirack.
To use the USB flash drive
• A USB flash drive is included with the Pro-Stitcher and is pre-loaded with designs. These designs
have also been loaded to the drive on the tablet computer, so the USB flash drive is the backup
copy of the designs.
Â
IMPORTANT
: It is not necessary to power down Pro-Stitcher to install or remove the USB flash
drive, but take care not to remove the flash drive while the system is saving to or loading from
the drive.
To use an external keyboard
An external keyboard is helpful when using Pro-Stitcher Designer on the Pro-Stitcher computer. Use a
keyboard and mouse (wired or wireless) by attaching them (or the wireless transmitter) to one of the USB
ports on the black box behind the computer.
