Speed

Pressing the Speed “+” will increase the manual

mode motor speed and pressing the Speed “-” button

will decrease the manual mode motor speed. This

has the same effect as pressing the “+” and “-” but-

tons on the actual handles. The speed range is be-

tween 5% and 100%, or between 90 and 1800 stitch-

es per minute (SPM). The percent speed is displayed

in the white box at the top of the screen. (Figure 25)

Manual Presets

Save up to three manual-mode preset speeds to

quickly switch between speed preferences. For

example, you may prefer a slower speed when

using rulers and a faster speed when doing all-over

meandering quilting. Use the “+” and “-” buttons to

adjust the speed percentage and then press one of the

record buttons next to the preset value to store that

speed as a preset. When you want to use one of the

preset speeds, simply press the speed. (Figure 26)

On/Off Indicator

The box in the center of the top bar turns green

when you press the “Start” button on the handles

to indicate the needle is in motion. When you press

“Stop,” the box will turn red. (Figure 27)

Regulated Mode Screen Button Functions

Stitches Per Inch (SPI)

Pressing the “+” or “-” buttons near the top right

portion of the screen will increase or decrease

the stitches per inch (SPI) setting. The setting is

reflected in the white indicator box at the top right

portion of the screen. This value can be adjusted

between 4 and 18 stitches per inch. (Figure 28)
