Overview 4.7
Half Stitch
The
Half Stitch
button cycles the needle either to
the up or the down position based on the current
position of the needle
(
Figure 4.17)
.
Full Stitch
Press the
Full Stitch
button to cycle the needle a full
stitch to the up position
(
Figure 4.18
)
. If the needle
is in the down position, it will move only a half cycle
so it stops in the up position. Subsequent presses
of the button, however, will result in a full stitch,
always ending in the up position.
Reset Home
The
Home
position of any design depends on how
the design was originally created. It is the point in
the design where X=0 and Y=0. Sometimes that is
the start of a design, other times it may be in the
middle or any other point in the design or around
the design.
Some digital designers intentionally use the
Home
location for positioning purposes. If this is the case,
the quilter can move the needle to the location
on the quilt indicated by the pattern designer and
press the
Reset Home
button to position the design
relative to the
Home
position
(
Figure 4.19)
. The
Reset Home
button may also be used as a rough
positioning tool.
For example, if the design is off the screen because
the quilting machine has been moved to a new
location, pressing the Reset Home button will bring
the design closer to the current crosshair position.
CAUTION: Reset Home
is a repositioning tool. Do
not use it if the design has already been positioned
in its proper location.
