8. Settings Menu

Before stitching any design, it is always a good idea to double-check the settings. Some quilters may find

settings that will work for everything they do and never go back to change them. However, most will likely

find that different projects will require different settings. Make a habit of checking these settings before

quilting any design.

Control how fast Pro-Stitcher operates

The Speed setting sets how fast the Pro-Stitcher carriage will move through the quilting design. Because

the quilting machine regulates its own speed to maintain a specific stitches-per-inch setting, the speed

does not directly set the needle speed. Instead it sets how fast the machine moves across the frame

system.

• Select Settings, Speed.

To set the default speed

• Choose either the Slow, Medium, or Fast button to set the default speed.

• Alternately, use the scroll bar to select a speed between the slow, medium, or fast settings.

Control how Pro-Stitcher handles jumps

If a quilt design contains jumps, or gaps, in the design path that are not stitched, Pro-Stitcher can either

move automatically without stitching through the jump point and begin stitching at the end of the jump or

it can pause before the jump so you can trim the thread before it moves to the next starting point.

• Select Settings, Auto Jump.

Machine Quilting Tip: Avoid long jumps

The longer the jump, the more likely the thread will break or the quilt will gather or become

distorted as the machine pulls the thread to the next start point. Set an Auto Jump threshold

that is an appropriate number of inches so both your quilt and quilting remains smooth.
