Using the Cruise Quilting Mode
In cruise mode, the quilting machine maintains the length of the stitch despite the speed and
direction of the quilter’s movements. However, the machine will continue to stitch in place (at the
minimum speed) if the quilter stops moving the machine.
The cruise quilting mode can be accessed by selecting “Cruise” from the Main Menu.

Stitches Per Inch
1. Check that your
Stitches Per Inch (SPI)
is the desired length.
• Press the up button on the handlebars to decrease the stitch length (increase number of
stitches in an inch) .
• Press the down button on the handlebars to increase the stitch length (decrease number of
stitches in an inch).
Tip:
This setting can be changed to stitches per centimeter (SPC) in the Preferences menu (see
page 48).
2. Check the needle stop position indicator to see if the needle will stop in the up or down
position when stitching is inactive. To change the needle stop position, hold down the needle
up/down button on the handlebar for three seconds.
3. Position the quilting machine over the quilt where you would like to stitch.
4.
Press the start/stop quilting button on the handlebars to begin stitching. Move the machine
across the quilt to place the stitches. Moving too quickly for the regulated quilting will cause a
beeping alarm to sound and the over-speed indicator to turn red. This alarm can be disabled
in the Preferences menu (see page 48).
Note: When quilting, the Start/Stop indicator will read
STOP
to let you know that stitching
is active and that if you press the start/stop button on the handlebars, stitching will stop. When
stitching is not active, the start/stop indicator will show
START
.
