Handlebar button options
Your Amara came with labels for the handlebars unattached, because you can decide which functions you
want on the right and left handlebars. For example, most machines are set up with the Start/Stop button
on the right handlebar. If you are left handed you may want to use the left handlebar for starting and
stopping your quilting and the right handlebar for the needle up/down button. For more information
about the handlebar labels, see To attach labels to the handlebars in the Installation and Setup section
of this manual.
