In regulation mode the status box at the top left of the
screen should say “Regulated”. If it says “Manual”, simply
press the “Regulated” button on the touch screen to
switch from “Manual” mode to “Regulated” mode.
IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT TURNING STITCH-
REGULATION ON OR OFF
You can stop the machine at any time by pushing either
the “Start/Stop” or the “Needle Up/Down” key on the
handles. In
Cruise Regulation
mode, if you don’t move
the machine after 3 or 4 seconds, the machine will stop
and position the needle. In
Precision Regulation
mode,
the needle pauses when you stop moving the machine
and will begin stitching again when you start moving the
machine. Press the “Start/Stop” (or “Needle Up/Down”)
key in Precision Regulation mode to stop the needle
completely and cause the needle to position itself in the
Needle Up or Down position.
Cruise Regulation Mode
When in Cruise Regulation mode, the start indicator box
in the top center of the “Regulated” screen is red. When
you press the “Start/Stop” key to start the machine,
the indicator will turn green AND the needle will begin
moving up and down.
The minimum speed of the needle is dependent upon
the setting you choose (from 3% to 50%). Janome
recommends beginning with a setting of 3%.
When to Use Cruise Regulation Mode
The constant minimum stitching speed featured in the
Cruise Regulation mode is used for precise placement
of stitching when backtracking (such as along the tops
of feathers) or when creating sharp points (such as the
point of a star or the bottom of a heart).
Janome STITCH REGULATOR OPERATION
Choose from Two Types of Stitch Regulation: Cruise or Precision
Precision Regulation Mode
When in Precision Regulation mode, the start indicator
box in the top center of the “Regulated” screen is
red. When you press the “Start/Stop” key to start the
machine, the indicator will turn green. As you start
moving the machine, it will begin stitching. When you
stop moving the machine, the needle pauses (sometimes
in mid-stroke.)
When you press the “Start/Stop” (or “Needle Up/Down”)
key to stop the machine, the indicator will turn red,
showing that the needle will not move when you move
the machine.
Always make sure the indicator 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 Janome Quilt Maker Pro 18 in Precision
Regulation mode with the start indicator box green and
do not move the machine for two minutes, the system
will “time-out” and a message box will appear. This
indicates that the system has stopped and you will need
to press the “Start” button again to resume quilting.
When to Use Precision Regulation Mode
Precision Regulation mode is especially useful for ruler
work. Stitch along the length of the ruler for the span
of your hand and stop. When you stop moving the
machine, the needle pauses. Do not turn off the machine.
Move the ruler and commence quilting. The Precision
Regulation helps you avoid “bobbles” and uneven
stitches.
Quilting Speed While in Stitch-Regulation Mode
It is important not to move the machine too fast, since
this will result in an
OVERSPEED CONDITION , during
which, the machine cannot maintain stitch regulation
until you slow your motions to an appropriate speed.
The Overspeed Alarm will alert you to this condition,
giving you the signal to slow down. Stitch regulation is
not a license to move the machine as fast as you can. Its
purpose is to maintain even stitches while quilting at an
appropriate speed.
You can return to manual mode by pushing the “Manual”
button below the “Regulated” button on the touch
screen display.
