Edit

Move will allow you to position the

currently selected pattern anywhere

you want it on the quilt area.

left or right.
The

arrows will move the

currently selected pattern incrementally

up or down.
The

arrows will align the

selected pattern with either the left or

right edge of the quilt area.
The

arrows will align the

selected pattern with either the top or

bottom edge of the quilt area.
The arrows will center

the selected pattern horizontally or

vertically.
You can also touch and drag the center

circle of the currently selected pattern to

quickly move it.
Check move all to move all of the

patterns and the pattern box at once.

Move start will move the start point

(green dot) to where the cross-hair is on

the screen, or where the needle is on the

quilt. Use this if you want the pattern to

start at a certain location on the quilt.

Move Pattern

Tips!

• Use the centering icons in tandem

with the alignment arrows to move

patterns to different locations.

• Use settings to change the move

increments, or how far the pattern

will move with each press of the

move arrows. (See page 39)

• Keep your screen clean. The oils from

your finger can cause the screen to be

unresponsive when moving patterns.
