Using the Manual Quilting Mode
In this quilting mode, the machine produces stitches at a certain speed. It’s up to the quilter to move
the machine the distance needed to get the desired stitch length. This mode is useful for small,
continuous stippling patterns.
The manual quilting mode can be accessed by selecting “Manual” from the Main Menu.

Stitching Speed
1. Check that the stitching speed is the desired speed. The stitching speed is displayed as a
percentage of the maximum machine speed of 1800 stitches per minute.
• Press the up button on the handlebars to increase the stitching speed.
• Press the down button on the handlebars to decrease the stitching speed.
2. Check the needle stop position indicator to see if the needle will stop in the up or down
position when stitching is inactive. To change the needle stop position, hold down the needle
up/down button on the handlebar for three seconds.
3. Position the quilting machine over the quilt where you would like to stitch.
4. Press the start/stop quilting button on the handlebars to begin stitching. Move the machine
across the quilt to place the stitches. Moving quickly will create larger stitches. Moving slowly
will create smaller stitches.
Note: When you’re quilting, the Start/Stop indicator will read STOP to let you know that
stitching is active and that if you press the start/stop button on the handlebars, stitching will
stop. When stitching is not active, the start/stop indicator will show START.
