QUILTING TIP: Set the machine at a medium speed (such as 1000) and begin moving it until you
become accustomed to the resistance. By moving the machine faster, the stitches will begin to
elongate. The stitch speed can either be increased or the machine can be moved slower to get
the stitches at your desired length. By moving the machine slower, the stitches get shorter and
can build up on top of each other, break the thread, or make it extremely difficult to unpick. The
stitching speed can be decreased, while maintaining a constant motion with the machine to bring
the stitches to the desired length.
Stitch Regulation Mode
There are two stitch regulation modes: Cruise and Precision.
To use Cruise stitch regulation

After you press the Start/Stop button on the handlebars, the Start stitching indicator in the upper-left
corner of the screen turns green and the needle begins moving up and down according to the cruise speed
or stitches-per-minute setting. When you start moving the machine the needle will move according to the
stitches-per-inch setting. Similarly, as you bring your quilting to a stop, the needle will continue moving at
the cruise speed (stitches per minute) until you press the stop button on the handlebars. The minimum
speed of the needle is dependent upon the stitches-per-minute setting you choose. Janome recommends
beginning with a setting of 200. Begin moving the machine immediately after pressing the Start/Stop
button to avoid stitching in place for too long.

QUILTING TIP: The constant minimum stitching speed featured in the Cruise stitch regulation is
useful when creating sharp points such as the point of a star or the bottom of a heart.
