To turn on or off alarms
• Touch the bell button below the alarm to turn it on or off. It is on when it appears green with the
sound-wave symbols. It is off when it appears purple.
Tie-offs
Use tie-offs to begin and end your quilting to ensure the stitching doesn’t come out. You can manually do
the tie-offs by simply stitching a few very tiny stitches, or let the Amara perform a predefined number
of quick, micro stitches for you. You can set the number of micro stitches from 2 to 10.

• Touch the Settings icon in the Toolbar. Then touch the Configure Tie-offs button. Press the plus (+)
