HQ Stitch Regulator Operation
To use regulation mode, the
button must be active (white). If it is blue, simply press
the
button on the touch screen to switch from ―Manu

Important Notes: Please read before operating
Starting and Stopping the Machine
You can stop the machine at any time by pushing the
START/STOP
key.
In
Cruise Regulation
mode, if you don’t move the machine after 3 or 4 stitches, the machine
will stop and position the needle.
In
Precision Regulation
mode, the needle stops when you stop moving the machine and will
begin stitching again when you start moving the machine again. Press the
START/STOP
key
in Precision Regulation mode to stop the needle completely and cause the needle to position
itself in the needle Up or Down position.
When in Precision Regulation mode, there is a red or green light next to the word ―Precisio
n‖ in
the top right-hand corner of the screen. When you press the ―Star
t‖ butt
on, the light will turn
green, indicating that as soon as you start moving the machine, the machine will begin
stitching. When you press the ―
Stop‖ butt
on, the light will turn red, indicating that the needle
will not move when you move the machine.
NOTE:
Always make sure the light is RED when you are in Precision Regulation mode
prior to working with your hands near the needle (changing the needle, replacing the
bobbin, etc.) to avoid unwanted stitching in your quilt or your hands!
If you leave the HQ Fusion
TM
in Precision Regulation mode with the Green Light on and do not
move the machine for two minutes, the system will ―time-
out‖
and a message box will appear,
indicating that the system has stopped and you will need to press the ―St
art‖ b
utton again to
resume quilting.
Watch Your Speed
It is important to not move the machine too fast since this will result in an
OVERSPEED
CONDITION
, during which, the machine drops out of regulation until you slow your motions to
below 100% of motor capacity.
You can return to
MANUAL
mode from by pushing the
MANUAL
button at the top of the touch
screen display.
