Pro-Stitcher User Manual
7.6 Quilt Menu
Pause
While stitching, a
Pause
button is available in case a
quilter needs to pause the machine and make some
minor adjustments, replace a bobbin, or fix broken
thread.
Pause
causes the machine to come to a
gentle stop and a beige colored marker is placed in
the design where the Pro-Stitcher has stopped. Some
additional
Quilt
menu options are available while
the Pro-Stitcher is paused. These options are
Stitch
,
Reposition
,
Status
, and
New Start/End
as described
previously under the
Quilt
menu section of this
manual
(
Figure 7.11
)
.
If Pause was pressed because of a thread break or
empty bobbin, it is likely that the quilter will want
to back the Pro-Stitcher up to the point that the
stitching stopped. Use the
New Start/End
function
under the
Quilt
menu to begin stitching at the
desired point.
The simplest way to do this is to press the
Start
Auto
button, press the
Disable Motors
button, and
then move the machine manually back to the point
where the stitching stopped and then turn off
Start
Auto
. If some fine tuning is needed to move the new
starting point forward or back in the design, use the
left or right arrows on the scroll bar until the new
start point is exactly where desired.
If the quilt has shifted slightly and the point on the
design does not match up exactly with the point
on the quilt, move the needle to the exact point on
the quilt that matches the new starting point that
was just set and press the
Start Point
button in the
Reposition
sub-menu. The design will be shifted
to align the new start point with the current needle
position. Double check the
Tie Off
and
Pullup
settings and press
Resume
to continue stitching the
design.
One feature that is available only during a
Pause
is the
Current Point
option under the
Reposition
sub-menu (Figure 7.12). The
Current Point
is
the point in the design where the Pro-Stitcher
has paused. It is marked with a beige marker.
Repositioning may be done using this point in the
same way it is used to reposition based on the
Start
Point
or the
End Point
. Simply move the machine
and crosshairs to the desired location and press the
Figure 7.11
Figure 7.12
Current Point
button under
Reposition
. Be aware
that if the
Start Point
has been altered at all during a
Pause
, pressing
Resume
will cause the Pro-Stitcher
to resume from the adjusted
Start Point
rather than
the
Current Point.
