7. Quilt Menu

The functions on the quilt menu enable you to quilt your designs. The Run button is available to start the

stitching from any quilt function.

• After the design has been formatted, positioned, and is ready to be stitched, select Quilt and then Run.

If everything looks good, press Proceed to begin stitching. Otherwise, press Cancel.

If you selected the option to Verify Settings before Quilting in the quilt settings, a pop-up Verify Settings

box appears so you can double check the settings before stitching. For more information about turning on

or off this option, see To verify settings before quilting in chapter 8, Settings Menu.

To choose between stitching or tracing the design, bounding box, or area perimeter

• Make sure the Stitch button is enabled (shown in a darker color) for the machine to stitch the quilt

according to the selections you make. To disable stitching, press the darkened Stitch button. If the

Stitch button is disabled, Pro-Stitcher traces the design, bounding box, or area perimeter with the

machine but does not stitch. Select the Stitch button again to enable stitching.

To immediately stop the machine from quilting

• If you must immediately stop the machine while quilting, press Emergency Stop. Unlike Pause,

which brings the machine to a gentle stop, the Emergency Stop button immediately stops Pro-

Stitcher. To reduce the risk of a torn quilt in case the needle is stuck, Pro-Stitcher also disables the

motors.

Before you stitch the design on the quilt

Before stitching any design, it’s a good idea to double check the position of the design relative to the quilt.

Machine Quilting Tip: Verify the position of the design relative to the quilt

Move the quilting machine needle to a location on the quilt. Select the Follow button in the

top-right corner of the screen so the design will move as you move the machine. Look at the

screen and confirm that the crosshairs match the desired position in the design. Do this for

a variety of places on the quilt, such as the start and end points and the highest and lowest

points in the design.
