2-Point Rotation

2-Point Rotation uses the quilting machine to identify a line that represents the rotation angle. You’ll set a

start point and an end point to create a line that represents the angle to which the design will align.

To rotate a design according to an angle on the quilt

1. Move the quilting machine to a point on the quilt left of the

line to follow and press 2 Point Start. Note the position of

the crosshairs in the image at the right.

2. Move the machine to a point further to the right along the

angled line. Note the position of the crosshairs in the image

at the right.

3. Select 2 Point End. The design rotated to match the angle

created by the two points selected in steps 1 and 2

The rotation angle appears in the number box and the design rotates to match the angle, 44.17 degrees in

this example.

Machine Quilting Tip: Use 2-Point rotation to quilt sashing in an on-point quilt

Create an area that represents the sashing to be quilted. Load the design and make design

changes, such as resize and create repeats. The design will be horizontal on the screen. Then

use 2-Point rotation to rotate the design to match the quilt. Position the machine’s needle

along the angled sashing seam line and select 2-Point Start. Move the machine’s needle to a

spot along the same seam line and select 2-Point End. The design rotates to match the angle

you defined.
